As the race moved to the half, Compassrose De Vie (Todd Ratchford) motored up the outside and joined the fray for the second circuit. Compassrose De Vie and So Amazing raced alongside each other to three-quarters while Rightfully Mine sat the pocket. These three then broke away from the field in the last turn and set the stage for the final eighth. Compassrose De Vie slightly faded at the head of the stretch whilet Rightfully Mine slipped into the passing lane and caught the game So amazing just before the wire to win by a length in 1:57.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the third straight win for Rightfully Mine ($3.00) who is owned by Monique Cohen and Anthony Scussel and trained by Shawn McDonough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morrill won a total of four races during the card while McDonough had four training wins, two of which he drove, giving him a total of six winners across two categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later in the $11,500 upper-level condition pace for mares, A Black Diamond (Dave McNeight III) got away third in chase of Louie The Lilac (Kevin Cummings) who found favor on the front. McNeight pulled A Black Diamond first-over at the five-eighths, drew even with Louie The Lilac in the last turn and then bolted home to a 1-\u00be length victory in 1:57.3.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the fourth straight win for A Black Diamond ($3.90) and owner Lav Racing. Russell Bratt trains the winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driver Kyle Cummings also had a grand slam Wednesday that included a lead-off natural hat trick in races one, two and three. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Saturday (Nov. 11) at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a $861 carryover in the Jackpot Hi-5 pentafecta wager in race 13.Free full past performance programs for every live card of racing at Batavia can always be downloaded at the Downs\u2019 website (<a href=\"https:\/\/na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbataviadownsgaming.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7C%7Cbf69c3dad80e47cc449408dbe0d58cc5%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638350980192817116%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=HSdzyoh%2FGmdyIA5TbdAcVX99DSXk8CwDQrsUIPiJBBI%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bataviadownsgaming.com<\/a>) under the \u201cLive Racing\u201d tab and all the racing action can be viewed as it happens for free at the Batavia Downs Live Facebook page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tim Bojarski for Batavia Downs (Photos courtesy of Wendy J.
