HAMBURG, N.Y. --- There were strong, gusty winds at Buffalo
Raceway on Wednesday night (March 8) but Voltina found things to be just a
'breeze' in the featured $8,200 pace for the mares.
Scoring from the rail, Voltina (Kevin Cummings) made every
step a winning one and defeated Dontch Remember (Jim Morrill Jr.) by 1-3/4
lengths in 1:58.3 over the fast track.
Voltina had no problem in getting to the lead as the favored
Deliciouslynaughty broke stride just as the starting gate opened.
After putting up fractions of 29.3, 58.4 and 1:28.3, Voltina
enjoyed a two length advantage heading into stiff wind down the stretch.
The margin proved to be more than enough as Voltina ($11.80)
was able to hold off Dontch Remember and Honor Roll (Shawn McDonough) who took
second and third place respectively.
Owned by Chs Racing and trained by Anthony Cummings, it was
the second win in eight tries in 2017 for Voltina (Allamerican Native-Best Not
Tell). The win upped the 7-year-old mare's bankroll to $12,378 this season and
$152,919 lifetime.
Racing will continue on Friday night at Buffalo Raceway with
a 12-race card set for 5 p.m.
