HAMBURG, N.Y. --- A smooth move to the inside down the
stretch by Detailer and driver David McNeight III proved to be the difference
in scoring a $38.20 upset victory in the featured $10,500 Open Trot Friday
night (March 7) at Buffalo Raceway.
Fiorentina (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) set the tempo in the race,
registering red-hot fractions of 28.2, 58.4 and 1:29.1 Detailer was second over
at the three-quarter marker, but McNeight III managed to guide him to the
passing lane and was able to nip the never-say-die Fiorentina by a head at the
wire in 1:58.4. Studio City (Aaron Byron) finished third.
Owned by the Limerick Racing Stable and trained by David
McNeight Jr., Detailer scored his first win of 2014 in five appearances and
improved his seasonal earnings to $8,915. It was also the 18th career victory
for the 6-year-old gelded Detailer, now of winner of $170,721 lifetime.
A 10-race program will go to the post Saturday night
beginning at 6:40 p.m. at Buffalo Raceway.
