HAMBURG, N.Y. --- Krystal C continued an impressive 2018
campaign on Wednesday night (March 28) as she won her fourth consecutive race
with a come from behind nose victory over Aritzia Hanover in Buffalo Raceway's
featured $7,700 pace for the mares.
The 5-year-old Krystal C (Ray Fisher Jr.) has now hit the
board in all nine starts this season and toured the Hamburg half-mile oval in a
career-best 1:56.2 over the fast track. Her stellar record was overlooked
however by the betting public as she returned a healthy $16.20 for the victory.
Things didn't look good for Krystal C with a quarter mile to
pace as she was shuffled back to fourth and looked helplessly boxed in. But in
the stretch, Krystal C was masterfully maneuvered to the outside and powered to
the wire with a :28.4 last split to nose out Aritzia Hanover (Billy Davis Jr.).
Cut And Paste (Shawn McDonough) took third.
Owned and trained by Sabrina Clevenger, Krystal C
(Sportswriter-Kayla's Raider) now has five victories in nine starts. The win
bumped her seasonal earnings to $20,046 and $44,626 lifetime.
Call Me Maybe lit up the tote board in the tenth race as
Shawn McDonough steered the mare to a $126.00 upset victory.
Fisher Jr. completed the evening with four victories in the
bike while John Cummings Jr. and Shawn McDonough had doubles. Trainer
Ryan Swift conditioned a pair of winners.
Racing will resume on Saturday evening at 6 p.m. with a
12-race card slated.
