HAMBURG, N.Y. --- Lady London ($3.90) may not have been as
fast as last week but she was still pretty darn good on Wednesday night (May 8)
after romping once again in Buffalo Raceway's $10,500 Class A Open Handicap
Pace for the filly and mares.
Setting two new marks for the all-aged and aged (5+) distaff
pacers with a 1:53.2 clocking last week, Lady London was dominate again after
coasting to a 4-1/2 nod over Little Joke in 1:54.2 over the fast track.
At the start, Little Joke handed out a parking ticket to
Lady London as the tandem reached the quarter pole in a rapid :27.4. But once
reaching the lead, driver Billy Davis Jr. and Lady London were in command the
rest of the way.
Enjoying a three length advantage turning for home, Lady
London dropped a :28.3 final panel on the field to evaporate all of their
hopes. Little Joke (Shawn McDonough) took the place position with Rock My World
(Jim Morrill Jr.) finishing in third.
Owned by Vhf Racing LCC and trained by Sabrina Clevenger, it
was the third victory in nine starts this season for Lady London (Maddam
Luck-Northern Luck). The 6-year-old mare has now earned $21,588 on the campaign
and $75,876 lifetime.
Morrill Jr. and Davis Jr. had a driving triples on the
program. Trainer Gerry Sarama sent three to the winner's circle with Clevenger
getting a double.
Racing will resume on Friday night with a nine-race program
set for 5 p.m.
