It was there that Won Surreal Deal (Kyle Cummings) charged the frontrunner, followed by Marathon Mary (Drew Monti) and Dance Ticket, as Forgot Thewallet A had no answers for the takeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With new leadership in place for the second time around, Won Surreal Deal paced sharply to three-quarters where Marathon Mary tipped to take her shot in the last turn. That left Dance Ticket right behind Won Surreal Deal and that mattered at the top of the lane. Marathon Mary got to the front and looked to be a clear winner, but Dance Ticket dove into the passing lane and flew to the line first by a neck to win in 1:54.2. The time was a new lifetime mark for the mare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dance Ticket ($10.20) is owned by 716 Standardbreds and trained by Courtney Wright.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the $10,000 mid-level conditioned event for female pacers, Imprincessgemma A (Drew Monti) set fractions of :28.2, :59.2 and 1:27.4 before turning for home and hanging on by three-quarters of a length in a 1:57 win.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elite harness Racing owns Imprincessgemma ($4.20) who is trained by Rachelle Mungillo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drew Monti and Joe Chindano Jr. both ended the night with three wins while trainers Rachelle Mungillo and Sam Smith had two wins apiece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Friday (Sept. 20) with post time at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a $636 carryover and the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta in the 13th race.&nbsp;<br>Free full card past performance programs for every live card of racing at Batavia can always be downloaded at the Downs\u2019 website (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbataviadownsgaming.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7C%7Cbf93272cde5b49f436b708dcd8549ed7%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638623105166078054%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=vNmintrGfoBHuNx4KBXMoZrQpSF2nqOvXH0JbgbLNKA%3D&amp;reserved=0\">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.
