That prompted True That (Kevin Cummings) to move to the outside and summer Slash (Ray Fisher Jr.) took advantage of the cover from fifth. As the field bunched at three-quarters, Fisher tipped Summer Slash three-wide in the last turn and when they hit the stretch, she was gone. Summer Slash paced to the line clear by two in 1:57 over the rain-soaked track rated as good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the fourth win of the year for Summer Slash ($8.80) who is owned by Ilovemyharnesshorsesummer and trained by Ryan Swift.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were also two $9,500 conditioned paces for distaff competitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first, NY Hardcore (Bradley Jackson) sat behind Casie\u2019s Believer (Joe Chindano Jr.) for seven-eighths of the mile before tipping into the passing lane and brushing to the line first by a half length in 1:58.3. Casie\u2019s Believer ($5.20) is owned by Sonia Joly and trained by Francis Guillemette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second was won by Won Surreal Deal (Kyle Cummings) who pulled first-over at the half to take the lead from Lookatmyart (Kevin Cummings) and then pull away from the field in the stretch by four lengths to win in 1:55.4. Won Surreal Deal ($6.60) is owned by Parsimonious Racing Stable and trained by Jeff Sorenson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driver Kyle Cummings and trainer Chris Petrelli each scored a hat trick to lead their respective categories on Wednesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Friday (Oct. 11) with post time at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a $2,699 carryover and the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta in the 13th race.<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%7C09bc826fd5af4c8b1f8d08dce8d3a02f%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638641242861295809%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=OsmuSwBHmuBtmFtDKS1LxG%2FuapvDNJUeLvK1vWEG4fI%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 (Photos courtesy of Wendy J.
