HAMBURG, N.Y. --- Heavenly Place is sure earning her keep in
2014.
In seven starts this season, Heavenly Place now has been in
the money every time with four victories including an easy three length win in
the $10,500 Fillies and Mares Open Pace at Buffalo Raceway Wednesday night
(March 19).
She left little doubt who was the 'queen' on this night.
Sitting fourth at the half mile, driver David McNeight III pulled Heavenly
Place first over down the backstretch the final time and cruised past the
pace-setting L Diz (Aaron Byron).
By the time the field realized the big move Heavenly Place
($7.80) had just thrown at them at the three-quarter marker, it was all over.
She notched a 1:58.4 clocking over the good track including a 58.3 final half
and 28.3 last quarter. Taylor Rei (Ray Fisher Jr.) managed to rally and take
second while L Diz held on for third.
With the victory, the 6-year-old Heavenly Place has now
earned $18,547 this season. She is owned by CHS Racing and the Limerick Racing
Stable with David McNeight Jr. the trainer.
Racing will resume on Thursday night at 5 p.m. at Buffalo
Raceway with a 10-race program on tap.
