For the third week in a row and the fourth time in the last five outings, Roll With Faith dominated the Downs damsels by winning the $9,500 fillies and mares Open Handicap pace at Batavia on Wednesday afternoon (Sept. 19).

Roll With Faith (Kevin Cummings) watched from last while Little Joke (Billy Davis Jr.) took the lead and led the group to the quarter in :28.1. But Cumming’s passive status ended before the three-eighths pole when he pulled Roll With Faith and started the long trek up the outside.

Roll With Faith caught up with Little Joke up the backside in the midst of a speedy :27.4 third panel and the two began to battle from there. The pair went stride for stride around the last turn and into the stretch when both Davis and Cummings really started to work their mounts. They continued to shadow each other until halfway down the stretch when Roll With Faith got stout and pulled away to a length victory in 1:54.1.

Roll With Faith ($7.30) has earned $60,309 this year on the strength of her now 11 wins for owners Finish Line Investors, Lawrence Willer and John Mungillo, who also trains the mare.

In the $8,000 fillies and mares Open II pace, Classy Lane Rose (Drew Monti) also got away last and stayed there until the three-quarters when Monti drove up the middle of the pack and then found room in the last turn where he swung three deep and flew past everyone to win in 1:56.

Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:

(reminder, no racing tomorrow night [Night of Champions detention
in paddock], but we’re expecting you here for Saturday’s $1.8 million program. Also, note special card Wednesday, Sept. 26th @ usual 6:50 PM)

3RD RACE – (1) ELEKTRA EXPRESS effectively lost all chance with early misdeed in last, did recover for ‘in tight’ fourth. Well-placed in a ‘handicap’ event.

4TH RACE – (8) SILVER BUCKEYE finds way here from Ohio fair circuit, into potent barn. Opposes squat in his local debut, so taken to negotiate eight-ball.

5TH RACE – (8) LADY MACBETH added straps upstate, but they didn’t do much for cause. Probably not reaching, we’re four-eyeballing for future reference.

7TH RACE – (1) GERRIE’S SPORT sees the inner half of gate for first time since the invention of autodraw. We’ve taken shots with him before, have to stay.

8TH RACE – (3) DOJEA SOLO did not disgrace himself in last, offering late pace when ‘peeked’ despite four weeks off. He’s leaving here or your money back.

9TH RACE – (3) LILY’S SWAN POND earn the gaze in last, offered belated trot without finding room in lane. Intrigues us enough to hope he finds cleaner trip.

$2 +/- (thru Mon., Sept. 17) – 249 wins ($2,006.10)
from 1,090 ($2,180) selex (-$173.90, we’re not amused by all these seconds, nope)
