Little Joke Doesn’t Fool Around At Buffalo Raceway
Jan 26, 2018
Little Joke ($4.00) showed the field in the $9,500 Open Pace for the mares at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday night (Jan. 24) that she wasn’t going to fool around as she was all business in wiring the field in 1:58.2.
Scoring from the four post, Little Joke scooted right to the lead for driver Billy Davis Jr. and posted fractions of 29.0, 59.2 and 1:29.4 over the fast track.
In the drive to the finish line, it was a cavalry charge but no one had the answer as Little Joke held her ground and handily posted the two length win over Voltina (John Cummings Jr.) and Hey Kobe (Shawn McDonough).
Co-owned by the Vogel & Wags Nags Stable and Jack Rice, the 6-year-old Little Joke (Bettor’s Delight-Town Joke) is trained by Maria Rice. It was her 17th win in just 51 lifetime appearances, earning $164,475 along the way.
Quicksilvercandy A (Bad Bert-Forzett), a 14-year-old mare who tied for the most wins in the United States last year with 22, made it a perfect 3-for-3 in 2018 with a 1-1/4 victory over Escada De Vie in 1:59.0. Owned by Larry Stalbaum and trained by Kimberly Asher, it was the 66th career win for Quicksilvercandy A, a winner of $113,694 last year and $687,728 lifetime.
Drew Monti and Shawn Gray each had driving triples on the night while Cummings Jr. had a pair. Trainer JD

BIG ACTION MEANS BIG PAYOFFS AT BIG M
Western Joe might have been the top performer at the Meadowlands after taking the Preferred Handicap last Saturday (Jan. 20) night, but the big winners were the betting faithful, who were treated to big payoffs, which were created by spirited wagering.
Over the course of the 14-race program only four favorites visited victory lane, which served as the catalyst for big payouts in the 20-Cent Survivor Pick 10 ($18,028), Pick 5 ($11,645) and Pick 4 ($2,022). The total pools for the ‘Survivor’ ($21,653) and Pick 4 ($86,996) reached new 2018 heights while the Pick 5 remained strong as usual ($54,802).
Thus far in 2018, here are the average payouts for three popular nightly puzzles (all of which offer a reduced takeout of 15 percent):
- Pick 4: $1,322 (50-cent base wager)
- Pick 5: $6,692 (50-cent base wager)
- Survivor Pick 10: $8,050 (20-cent base wager)
All-source wagering on Saturday reached $2.7 million, which was another 2018 best, while the average payoffs that evening for the Win ($18.65), Exacta ($181.27) and Trifecta ($1,549.20) wagers were rock solid.
When racing resumes with a 13-race card Friday night at 6:35 p.m., players can look forward to a $25,000 guaranteed pool in the Pick 5, a $50,000 guarantee in the Pick 4 and a huge $75,102 carryover in the Late 20-Cent Jackpot Super High Five, which gives the Meadowlands’ faithful a good reason to hang in there until the last race of the night.
Thank you for your continued support of Meadowlands and IdaBet.com!
