HAMBURG, N.Y. --- Rock My World got to the front end early
in Buffalo Raceway's $10,500 Class A Open pace for the filly and mares on
Wednesday night (May 22) and was there at the finish line to notch the $26.80
surprise in a seasonal best 1:55.3.
Taking command right off the starting gate, Rock My World
(Kevin Cummings) set reasonable splits of :28.3, :57.2 and 1:26.3 over the fast
track.
With a few taps of encouragement down the home stretch, Rock
My World easily held off the belated threat of Little Joke (Shawn McDonough)
who was 1-1/4 lengths behind. The heavily-favored Lady London (Billy Davis Jr.)
took the third place check.
Owned by Henry Conradt and conditioned by Mike Ohol, it was
the fourth win in 15 appearances for Rock My World (Rock N Roll
Hanover-Love The Game). The 7-year-old mare has now put $25,115 in the bank
this season and $198,534 lifetime.
Davis Jr., Buffalo Raceway's leading driver, put three
victories in the win column on the program while Jim Morrill Jr. doubled. David
Russo collected a pair of training scores.
Racing will continue on Friday evening with an eight-race
card slated for 5 p.m. There's a $598 carryover in the Pick-5 which begins in
the second race.
