Batavia, NY — A pair of $11,100 mid-level conditioned trots topped the card at Batavia Downs on Friday (Aug. 22) and class-droppers were victorious in both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first went to Newsboy (Drew Monti) who held a loose lead through quarters of :29.1, :59.4 and 1:29.1 while Senterprise (John Cummings Jr.) sat in the pocket for the trip. When he got to the top of the stretch, Newsboy swelled up and pulled away by 3-\u00be lengths and won in 1:58.2, tying his seasonal mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsboy ($3.60) is owned by Carl Monti and James Caradori and trained by Darrin Monti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew Monti ended the night winning five races on the card. Besides Newsboy, he also scored with Count The Coin (2:00.3, $7.40), Out On Bail (1:57.3, $2.20), Admiral Hanover (1:55.4, $6.40) and Mingo Joe (1:58.1, $4.30). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The second group of trotters was bested by Latavius (Kevin Cummings) who sat second behind I Got The Looks (Dan Yetman) who trotted on the lead unchallenged to the half in :58.4. Then came Good Boy (Ray Fisher Jr.) who moved first-over in the breeze and pushed I Got The Looks to three-quarters and around the last turn. As they headed down the lane, I Got The Looks turned away Good Boy, but Latavius ducked into the passing lane and caught the leader in the shadow of the wire to win by a nose in 1:58.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latavius ($13.00) is owned by El Dorado Stables and trained by Sam Smith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driver Kevin Cummings also had a big night in the bike after scoring a grand slam during the evening while trainers Shawn McDonough, Rachelle Mungillo, Angelo Nappo and Sam Smith all won two races apiece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Saturday (Aug. 23) with post time at 6 p.m. and will feature two divisions of the NYSS valued at $236,700, the $100,000 Robert J. Kane Memorial Invitational Pace and the rest of the 16-race card valued at a total of $488,300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
