Batavia, NY —  A top-class race for each gait was contested at Batavia Downs on Saturday (Aug. 30) night and a pair of foreign-bred horses claimed the spoils from those two events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the $12,800 Open Handicap trot, the Canadian-bred Dealin With Dewey was used both early and late, but still got the job done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brett Macdonald left with Dealin With Dewey and was parked three-deep through the first eighth before grabbing up and tucking in third, as Duke Lavictoire (Jim Morrill Jr.) settled on the lead at the quarter in a snappy :27.4. Positions remained unchanged to the half where Dealin With Dewey made his second move and started an overland trek heading around turn three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dealin With Dewey continued to gain ground on the backstretch and drew even with Duke Lavictoire as they passed three-quarters in 1:27. The two trotters matched strides all around the last turn and into the stretch where Dealin With Dewey started to pull away from the Duke, and then held off a late challenge from the fast-closing Makes Me Charlie (Kyle Cummings) to win by a quarter length in 1:56.3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the eighth win of the year for the heavily backed Dealin With Dewey ($2.70) who is owned and trained by Sara Baillargeon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Then in the $12,800 Open Handicap pace, the Australian-bred Lip Reader A left no doubt as he scored a gate to wire victory while matching his fastest time of the meet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew Monti sent Lip Reader A to the front from his pylon position start and they stepped off solid fractions of :27.4, :58.3 and 1:26.1 while Davey Day Trader (Dave McNeight III) tracked closely from second the entire time, and a mild outer-flow bid by Lanjo Lee (Kyle Cummings) failed as they made their way around the bend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the race entered the final eighth of a mile, Monti sat chilly and let Lip Reader A close the deal as he was pacing under a full head of steam and rolled home easily to win by 1-\u00bd lengths in 1:54. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the sixth win of the year for Lip Reader A ($3.20) who is owned by Vogel and Wags Nags and Team Rice Racing and trained by Maria Rice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lip Reader A was only one of four victories for Monti on Saturday, as he led all drivers for wins on the program. He also scored with Beantown Boy (1:56.3, $9.00), King James Express (1:54.1, $8.60) and Out On Bail (1:55.3, $5.80). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also having a good night in the bike was Kyle Swift, who had a hat trick. On the training side, 12 different conditioners each earned one win apiece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Labor Day Monday (Sept. 1) with post time at 1:15 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week on Saturday (Sept. 6), Batavia Downs will host the New York Sire Stakes Night of Champions finals night with purses valued at $2.4 million.
