HAMBURG, N.Y.--- After several near misses in Buffalo
Raceway's Open Trot division, Heartsaregonnaroll took a step down to the
featured $8,400 Open II level Friday night (March 14) and it paid off with a
well-deserved half-length victory over Armed Dangerously in 1:59.4 over the
fast track.
With a trio of second place finishes in her last four
starts, Heartsaregonnaroll (Kevin Cummings) scooted out to the lead and set
fractions of 30.1, 1:01 and 1:30.2. In the lane, the slightly favored Armed
Dangerously (Aaron Byron) and Sack Full Of Gold (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) were the
lone threats, but couldn't catch the front-running but game Heartsaregonnaroll
($4.90).
It was the second victory in nine starts this season for the
5-year-old mare who is owned by Paul and Ronald Viele. Heartsaregonnaroll,
trained by Alex Giuliani, has now earned $18,466 in 2014.
Drew Monti, Kevin Cummings and Aaron Byron all posted
driving doubles on the night.
A 12-race card is slated for 6:40 p.m. on Saturday night at
Buffalo Raceway.
