Batavia, NY \u2014 After a convincing victory off class relief last week, Louie The Lilac moved back to the feature race and won again in the $15,000 Open I Handicap pace for fillies and mares at Batavia Downs on Wednesday night (Nov. 22). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Cummings fired Louie The Lilac to the front and led every step of the way. After setting the pace at :28.1, :58.2 and 1:26.3 with Xenia\u2019s Chip (Jim Morrill Jr.) trying to match steps in the pocket, Louie The Lilac turned for home and bolted to the line on top by three lengths in 1:55.3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the ninth win of the year for Louie The Lilac ($3.90) who is owned by Mike Torcello and trained by Sam Smith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cummings ended the night with three wins to lead all drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the $11,500 mid-level conditioned event for distaff pacers, The Stunning Nun N (Jim Morrill Jr.) made her first start back since September a winning one after she led from gate to wire in 1:57.2 by an easy 2-\u00bd lengths over A Black Diamond (Dave McNeight III). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stunning Nun N ($7.70) is owned by her trainer Mike Deters, in partnership with Joel Warner, John Manning and Barbara Jensen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deters along with Sam Smith and Mike Ohol all had two training wins on Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $10,000 guaranteed Pick-5 was hit on Wednesday. The combination of 5\/3\/1,8\/1\/3 returned $408 for a 50-cent wager. The carry over was $3,035 and the guarantee generated $13,907 in new money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Saturday (Nov. 25) at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a $3,080 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 (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":"
