Lowery)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Batavia, NY \u2014 Driver Dave McNeight III started Friday (Aug. 23) night in fifth place for dash wins at Batavia Downs. But when the dust had settled after the 13th race, \u201cTriple Sticks\u201d found himself tied for second place after he won five races on the card.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McNeight won with My Mind Is Madeup (1:54.4, $3.70), Hellrider (1:59.4, $9.70), Black Is Back (1:55, $9.30), Doyoukissfirstdate (1:58.2, $3.00) and Tullow N (1:55.4, $3.60).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jim Morrill Jr. currently sits in first place with 25 wins, but had the night off. McNeight III started Friday with 14 wins, but moved up to 19 after his big outing. That ties him with Kevin Cummings, who also has 19 wins after his driving double on Friday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Cummings wins two came in one of the two $10,000 divisions of mid-level conditioned trotters with Burrow, who scored his second gate-to-wire victory in only three Batavia outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burrow took the lead from Credarina (Dave McNeight III) as they passed the quarter in :28.4 before hitting the brakes to the half in only 1:00.1. While he maintained his 1-\u00bc length lead, Burrow got to three-quarters in 1:29 before turning for home and bolting to a 2-\u00bd length win in 1:58.3.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burrow ($2.20) is owned by Redracer, Redline Racing Stables and Rachel Leonard. Matt Rosiek trains the winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other split went to Hellrider (1:59.4, $9.70) who was driven by McNeight III and trained by Alana Caprio for Caprio Stable and Maryanne Arena.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Saturday (Aug. 24) at 6 p.m. and there will be a $912 carryover in the Pick-5 in the first race and a $1,498 carryover in the Super Hi-5 in race 15.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on Saturday, the Downs will host its biggest card of the meet that includes two divisions of the New York Sire Stakes for 3-year-old trotters of both genders that total $233,300 and the $100,000 Robert J. Kane Memorial pace with some of the best older Open male pacers in North America. The card has a total purse value of over a half million dollars and has the capacity to produce a new all time track record.&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%7C9834ceb718d44adc247a08dcc3e46005%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638600632845526009%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=961gop72ZBjFII8Iea2RtH3rYekI3xXKDZjxdf6BFS4%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 (Photo courtesy of Wendy J.
