Batavia, NY \u2014 A substantial class hike made punters overlook Who’s Got The Move’s convincing 4-\u00bd length victory from just last week and their wagering discard provided big dividends for those who came back for more as Who’s Got The Move repeated and won the $9,500 co-features pace at Batavia Downs on Thursday afternoon (2-16) at 39-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who’s Got The Move (Dave McNeight III) got away a gapped fourth as Late Night Date A (Ray Fisher Jr.) scooted along to fast early fractions of :28.3 and :57.4. As the single-file field rounded into turn three, McNeight tipped Who’s Got The Move first-over and drew even with Late Night Date A by three-quarters. After matching strides around the last bend, Who’s Got The Move took the lead at the top of the stretch and then held off a late closing Tobin’s Diva (Keith Kash Jr.) to win by one-half length in 1:56.3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After going winless in 2022, Who’s Got The Move ($80.50) now has two tallies this year for owners Richard and Lynn Fisher — Lynn also does the training. Who’s Got The Move also went over $200,000 in lifetime earnings as a result of the victory, now boasting $201,870 in the bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other $9,500 pace was won by Brave World (Kevin Cummings) who didn’t surprise anyone after winning at prohibitive odds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cummings took no prisoners and grabbed a lead he would never relinquish. After going :29.1, :58.1 and 1:26.3, Brave World turned for home on top by 1-\u00be lengths and held on by a mere head over Long Legged John (Keith Kash), who made a valiant stretch run before coming up just short. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also the second win in a row — and third in his last four — for Brave World ($3.90) and owner Mike Torcello. Sammy Smith trained the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cummings ended the day with four winners overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finals of the Western New York Pop-Up series will be held when live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Monday (Feb. 20). The four finals will offer purses ranging from $12,000 to $18,000 while the four consolation races will go for  between $7,000 and $10,000 each. Spots in both were secured by the top money earners in each Trackmaster category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on Monday there will be a $2,285 carryover in the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta which will be available in race 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
