Batavia, NY — On a night that produced a litany of longshots overall, there was none that could top the dividends realized from a driving double turned in by Kyle Swift at Batavia Downs on Wednesday (Oct. 8) night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swift\u2019s two wins came with Filet Mignon in the eighth race that paid $55.70, and KB Mac in the ninth race who returned $40.36, both for a $2 win bet. But those races also made up the late daily double and the Swift\/Swift combination of 5 and 8 returned an instant jackpot valued at $3,653.38.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 20-year-old Kyle Swift is a fast rising star at Batavia Downs, where he has become a sought-out catch driver. He currently sits in seventh place for dash wins this meet, now with 34 after Wednesday’s double. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature race of the night was the $12,500 Open handicap for fillies and mares that was won by Gia\u2019s Surreal (Kevin Cummings) who moved late for a narrow victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elegant Woman A (Drew Monti) grabbed a quick lead and was pressured by the parked-out Alabama Hannah (Joe Chindano Jr.) through quarters of :27.4, :57.4 and 1:27.1. When Elegant Woman A finally put away Alabama Hannah, Gia\u2019s Surreal was three-wide and flying and hooked up with Elegant Woman A in the last turn. The two mares separated from the field as they entered the stretch and then matched strides all the way to the wire where a photo showed that Gia\u2019s Surreal had pushed to the front by a nose and won in 1:55.3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the 44th lifetime win for Gia\u2019s Surreal ($7.82) and pushed her impressive career bank to $1,022,488 for owners Edward Peron, Lee Winters and Jim Graham, who also trains the winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gia\u2019s Surreal was only one of six winners who returned for pictures under the guidance of Kevin Cummings, who also won with Wasn\u2019t Me (1:57.3, $20), Tres Chic Bluechip (1:56.3, $13.62), Medeena (2:00, $7.22), American Jazz (1:57, $13.62) and Alwaysanun (1:56.3, $41.78). The six wins brings Cummings’ total to 59 for the meet and moves him into fourth place on the leaderboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim Graham and Tom Mays topped all trainers on Wednesday with two wins apiece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
