But that wasn\u2019t the case on Sunday when Ruby, who is owned by Patrick Gorman of Buffalo, NY, served notice with an electrifying heat victory believed to be the fastest win ever at Batavia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">In the final she took the lead soon after the start and cruised to victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cShe stays fit by swimming,\u201d said her owner Gorman. \u201cShe loves to fetch so that\u2019s why we entered her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">For her efforts her owner takes home $135 in Batavia Downs Gaming Free Play and two clubhouse buffets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Finishing second was Maximus for owner Carrie Marseglia while Martin for owner Christine Baker was third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Getting the biggest roar of the crowd was former champion Rudy. Now a 14-year-old, the legendary Dachshund who was unbeatable in 2005 and 2006 made the final but was unplaced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cIt was a remarkable afternoon,\u201d Director of Marketing Ryan Hasenauer said. \u201cEvery year Family Fun day gets bigger and better and we look forward to doing it all again next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">With New York Sire Stakes, Family fun Day and the Wiener dog races, local racing fans and families came out in force on a perfect summer afternoon.
