HAMBURG, N.Y. --- There was a little bit of something for
everyone at Buffalo Raceway on Sunday afternoon (July 3) as the program was
sprinkled with chalks and long shots.
On the 12-race card, the favorites found the winner's circle
six times while horses with win mutuels over $30.00 came in three times.
Driver Drew Monti spearheaded the long shot parade as he
posted a $65.50 win aboard Warhorse in the opener and followed that up by
guiding Fox Valley Lena to a $34.20 victory.
Ray Fisher Jr. was a part of lighting up the tote board with
a $32.80 score on Lady Jill.
David McNeight III had a triple and conditioned two winners
while Todd Cummings had two victories in the sulky.
There's a 14-race card scheduled for Wednesday night at 5
p.m. with the New York Sire Stakes rolling back into town with the 2-year-old
filly pacers in the spotlight. There will also be competition in the Excelsior
A and B Series. The Pick-5 has a carryover over $487 heading into the card.
