Batavia, NY — After benefitting from a perfect trip, Credarena slipped through late to capture the $10,000 featured trot at Batavia Downs on Wednesday (Sept. 4) night in a clocking that equalled his career best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenobi (Jim Morrill Jr.) was cutting the air on the point while Credarena (Dave McNeight III) sat in the garden spot from the start. After Kenobi reached the half in a modest :59, Sonny\u2019s Moni (Drew Monti) pulled first-over in the breeze from fourth and pushed the issue to three-quarters in 1:28.1. But Kenobi turned back that challenge and entered the lane as a clear leader. That was until Credarena ducked into the passing lane and bolted to the line, passing Kenobi just before the wire where he won in 1:57.2, tying his lifetime mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the fifth win of the year for Credarena ($29.20) who is owned by Marissa Russo and trained by David Russo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ninth race, Morgans All In and Sea Of Love BC went down shortly after the start in the first turn, unseating drivers Jim Morrill Jr. and Jim McNeight Jr. As a result, the race was declared a \u201cno contest\u201d and refunds were made. Both drivers were alert. Morrill was checked at the track and McNeight was sent to the hospital for further evaluation. Both horses appeared to be okay after the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave McNeight III had another huge night winning four more races, this after a six win breakout this past Saturday (Aug. 31). This catapulted Triple Sticks to the top for dash wins this meet, now with a total of 34 wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Saturday (Sept. 7) with post time at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a $590 carryover and the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta in the 13th race.
