Lowery)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Batavia, NY &#8212; After dominating the top mares class at Batavia Downs with Delta Three N, who won five straight starts in Genesee County, trainer Brett Derue swapped out his stock and tagged in Waitforever N, who picked up right where her stablemate left off by winning the $12,800 Open Handicap pace for fillies and mares at The Downs on Wednesday (Sept. 24) night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jim Morrill Jr. sent Waitforever N right to the front and led the entire race by 1-\u00bc lengths. With Shake Me Loose (Drew Monti) pocketed-up for the journey, Waitforever N cut pedestrian quarters of :29, :58.3 and 1:27 with no credible threats coming from the gallery. However Waitforever N picked up the pace in the far turn and after turning back a brief burst from Shake Me Loose, Waitforever N bolted to the line with tail flagging to win handily in 1:54.4, including a nifty :27.4 kicker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the third win in three Batavia starts and seventh win overall this year for the heavily backed Waitforever N ($2.26), who is owned by her trainer Derue, in partnership with Stephen Picarazzi and Darreyl Bullard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waitforever N was only part of the huge night Morrill had at Batavia, as he scored five more wins including a natural Grand slam in races four, five, six and seven. Morrill also won with Major Escape (1:56.4, $2.24), Alan (1:59, $5.78), Lorraine Smoke (1:55.4, $2.32) and Black Is Back (1:57, $7.08). Morrill also had two seconds and three thirds from his 11 starts, giving him a stellar .646 UDR for the night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later in the $9,700 Mid-level conditioned race for female pacers, Arco N (Dave McNeight III) inherited the lead from her pylon start and led the single file field who lined up in post position order to the half in :59. That\u2019s when Summer Slash (Ray Fisher Jr.) was first to pull and made her way alongside Arco N at three-quarters. The mares matched strides around the turn but when they straightened for home, Summer Slash paced clear by a length and won in 1:56.2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer Slash ($4.32) is owned by Ilovemyharnesshorsesummer and trained by Ryan Swift.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shawn McDonough led all trainers with a conditioning hat trick on Wednesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Wednesday (Sept. 24) with post time at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a carryover of $2,365 in the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta in the 13th race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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%7C154ebd812dbc4fb30d7308ddfbdaf662%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638943640050342412%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=jjykK%2Fe3OTIAJ7vtHJDMUlmUscAtKR3mbHl8TK1hCfQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\">bataviadownsgaming.com<\/a>) under the \u201cLive Racing\u201d tab.
