At three-quarters, Chindano pulled Treasured Tee and matched strides with Crazy Ritz around the last turn and into the stretch. Then five pylons in, Treasured Tee bolted and won by a length in 1:57.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the eighth win of the year for Treasured Tee ($8.80) who is owned by his trainer Francis Guillemette in partnership with Stephane Geoffroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"56048\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/videonewsservice.net\/index.php\/2024\/08\/18\/genesee-county-two-repeat-winners-in-batavia-downs-features\/the-longest-yard-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Longest-Yard.jpg?fit=%2C&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"The Longest  Yard\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Longest-Yard.jpg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/videonewsservice.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/The-Longest-Yard.jpg?w=900&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56048\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two races later in the Open Handicap pace, The Longest Yard (Jim Morrill Jr.) went to the front and hung on in a squeaker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Longest Yard took control off the gate while Lip Reader A (Drew Monti) dropped in second for the mile. The Longest Yard set solid fractions of :28, :57.2 and 1:26 with Lip Reader A breathing down his neck and the rest of the field trying to keep pace. Lip Reader A tipped coming off the last turn and drew even with The Longest Yard as the pair hooked up in a duel to the wire. Lip Reader A tried hard, but The Longest Yard refused to lose and hung on by a neck in 1:54.1..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That made it two in a row for The Longest Yard ($4.30) and pushed him over the $300,000 mark in lifetime earnings ($303,468) for owner Mike Torcello, Sam Smith trains the winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drivers Jim Morrill Jr. and Joe Chindano Jr. each had a grand slam in the bike while trainers Sam Smith and James Rothfuss won three races apiece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Wednesday (Aug. 21) at 6 p.m.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free full card 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%7C02%7C%7C170a155aef1c4e1422de08dcbf317955%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638595466499001460%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=um0%2BF7GlkzUIghx9hlKNT4A7zNU0iTtM3El7TQHSNhA%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.
