RACE ONE DAILY DOUBLE- 3-1, 3-2 PICK-5- 3 w 1,2 w 7 w 3 w 2,6,8 3-MY HOPE…pulled on the backside and showed willing trot final 3/8s to the wire. Dented fast 3d panel, too. 7-PROUD MOMENT…made confident quarter move to the front in last but fast half hurt when trying to repel. 5-EASTER LEGGS…giving subtle hints lately. Liked :28.2 brush backside. Has 5 post (and some gate speed.)

RACE TWO 1-CASCATA…been very reliable for that sharp closing kick. Just needs to work out 2nd over trip to threaten. 2-NEEDLES AND PINS…up a notch in class but cannot ignore recent form, especially last with sharp close. 8-VAN GUNDY HANOVER…has outside post but has been solid in this class & can catch live cover flow here.

LONGSHOT IRON ROB PROVES BEST IN $75,000 BAFFLE STAKES;

RIDDEN BY GONZALEZ & TRAINED BY PAPAPRODROMOU,

HE GETS 6 ½ FURLONGS ON THE MAIN TRACK IN 1:15.50

Iron Rob

Supplemented at a cost of $1,500, longshot Iron Rob validated the investment with a half length win in Sunday’s $75,000 Baffle Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs.  Originally scheduled for the hillside turf at the same distance, the Baffle was switched to the main track due to rainfall earlier this week.  Ridden by Santiago Gonzalez and trained by George Papaprodromou, the       3-year-old Florida-bred colt by Twirling Candy got the distance in 1:15.50.

Breaking from post position two in a field that was reduced to four sophomores by a pair of late scratches, Iron Rob sat a restrained second to favored Tiz a Billy around the far turn, took over a furlong out and won while eased up a bit at the wire.

With no show wagering, Iron Rob, who was pulled up after the race on the Club House turn and did not return to the Winner’s Circle, was off at 5-1 and paid  $13.60 and $3.80.

“He’s fine,”...

HAMBURG, N.Y. — Western Alumni had a bit of a tussle to get to the front end in Buffalo Raceway’s $10,000 Open Pace on Saturday night (Feb. 20) but that battle ended up winning the war.
Facing a stubborn Listowel to the opening quarter, Western Alumni (Jim McNeight) managed to set the fractions and hung on late to register a neck victory over Youwillwishyouhad (Bruce Aldrich Jr.) in 1:56.0 over the fast track.
It was the featured event on the 13-race card that completed a three-day race week where the handle was over $900,000.
Buffalo Raceway Chief Operating Officer Jim Mango said, “It is nice to see the numbers like that for our operation in Hamburg. It was a week of hard work for the track crew with the rising temperatures playing havoc. The race secretary (Tom Agosti) has put together full competitive fields and it is starting to make a difference resulting in exciting racing in Western New York. The measure of it is more wagering. I think it will continue throughout the meet.”
Back to the Open, Western Alumni ($9.30) posted fractions of 28.0, 57.4 and 1:26.3. The 8-year-old gelding then had to rebuff the late charges of Youwillwishyouhad and China Dream (JackFlanigen) who both missed by a neck and head respectively.
It was the second straight win for Western Alumni (Western Hanover-Countryview Miss), now a winner of $12,060...
