Cold Certified Powers Way To Buffalo Raceway Win

We wante you to know that Cold Certified gave the field in the $9,000 featured trot at Buffalo Raceway the ‘cold’ shoulder in the stretch on Friday night (March 11) and romped to a convincing 2-3/4 length win over Winkys Pride in 1:59.1 over the good track.
Jim Morrill Jr., who guided Cold Certified to the victory, put on another driving clinic as he had a five-bagger, his 22nd win of the season at Buffalo Raceway in just 43 starts.
With a five-way battle for the lead right off the gate, Cold Certified managed to find a spot along the pylons and was in fourth whileWinkys Pride (Drew Monti) and the parked Lutetium (Truman Gale) duked it out. The fractions were 29.0, 58.3 and 1:29.2 to the three-quarter marker.
Cold Certified swung out three-wide down the backstretch was gobbling up ground just before the final panel and had no issues in overpowering the helpless Winkys Pride in the stretch. Lucky Pablo (Jack Flanigen) managed to gain the third place position.
Co-owned by Paul and Ronald Louis Viele, Cold Certified (Kadabra-I Like Stephanie) has three victories in seven starts in 2016 and moved his seasonal earnings to $20,080 and $451,087 lifetime. Alex Giuliani trains the 7-year-old gelding.
Ray Fisher Jr. finished with a driving triple while Angelo Nappo had two training wins.
Racing will continue on Saturday night with a 6 p.m. post for the 12-race card.

IdaBet Players Note: Sayitall BB takes top distaff; handle tops $3m

The Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi’s Sayitall BB ($5.80) made all the pace in Friday (March 11) evening’s featured $13,000 distaff pace at The Meadowlands, earning her first win of 2016 in 1:51.2 over fast going in the night’s 11th event.  Also, for the 11th time in 12 programs, punters wagered over $3 million on races contested at the Big M.
Joe Bongiorno sent the 5-year-old Tell All mare to a clear lead, setting uncontested fractions of :27.1, :55.4, and 1:24 with Clear View Hanover (Tim Tetrick) drafting throughout.  As the first-over Not Before Eight (Anthony Napolitano) worked into a joint second a quarter from home, Sayitall BB began to edge clear of her rivals, opening up on first asking from Bongiorno.  The Ron Burke trainee held clear up to the post, kept to task through all but the last 40 yards for her 19th career win.  Clear View Hanover was driven out to hold second from the pocket, while Cherry Bliss (John Campbell) found room up the pegs in mid-stretch to rally for third.
In co-featured $12,500 trotting events, Magenta Man ($6.80) and Mr Lover ($2.60) prevailed, employing different tactics en route to the winner’s enclosure.
Magenta Man, now a winner in four of his last six races, made two early moves in the evening’s fourth event to protect the lead through a :56.1 initial half, holding off pressure from Detroit Rapper on the far turn before ultimately staving off a late charge from the third-over World Cup in 1:53.4, his fastest career victory.  Andy Miller drove the 4-year-old Muscles Yankee gelding for trainer Julie Miller.
In the seventh event, Mr Lover lost early position due to an early break, but made amends off second-over spotting to just collar T Js Mr Lavec.  Tim Tetrick angled the 5-year-old Deweycheatumnhowe gelding second-over behind Jackie Goldstein after a soft :57.3 half, pouncing three-wide...

New foes await Rockeyed Optimist at Big M

Our IdaBet.com players need to know that just last week, Steve Elliott trainee Rockeyed Optimist held off Dovuto Hanover and Take It Back Terry for a 1:50.2 triumph in a $25,000 Open Pace at The Meadowlands.  The competition heats up even more for the 5-year-old Rocknroll Hanover gelding this Saturday (March 12) night, as he’ll not only once again face Dovuto Hanover, but stakes-proven Sunfire Blue Chip and Bettor’s Edge as well in the weekly feature.
Bettor’s Edge, unraced since his 19-1 upset in the $400,000 TVG Free-For-All last November, competes for the Ron Burke stable as the 2-1 morning line favorite.  The TVG score is one of 26 career wins for the 7-year-old, and he’s amassed over $1.7 million in career earnings.  Joe Bongiorno, who drove him to a third-place finish in the American-National last fall in Illinois, will be at the lines.
From post 4 will await 19-time winner Sunfire Blue Chip, a career earner of over $950,000.  The 6-year-old entire has been racing in upper-level events at Yonkers of late, finishing first or second in four of his last five outings.  Hall of Fame trainer Jimmy Takter calls upon Hall of Fame driver John Campbell to team up with the son of American Ideal.
Rockeyed Optimist, meanwhile, will be reunited with Tim Tetrick, who has returned from Florida after last weekend’s Pro-Am event at Pompano Park.  So far in 2016, Rockeyed Optimist has amassed two wins and a near miss in three starts, just last week brushing to the fore and holding sway from the late-charging Dovuto Hanover while odds-on.  The 17-time winner will start from post 7 as the 5-2 morning line second choice.
Punters are reminded that the $30,000 Pick 5 has shifted to begin in race 1, while the pair of Pick 4s–pools guaranteed for $25,000 and $50,000 respectively–now kick off in races 3 and 7.  Post time for Saturday’s...
