Batavia, NY — It took seven starts, but Alabama Hannah finally got her first win at Batavia Downs after taking the $8,800 fillies and mares A-AA Handicap on Wednesday (Oct. 15) night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alabama Hannah (Joe Chindano Jr.) called all the shots to the half in a tepid :59.2, before pressure from American Jazz (Jim McNeight Jr.) forced a suddenly quick :28 flat third panel. But that push only hurt American Jazz, who tailed off in the turn, leaving Alabama Hannah a loose leader turning for sweet home. Alabama Hannah then paced clear to the wire while holding off a late closing Rightfully Mine (Kyle Swift) to win by 1-\u00bc lengths in 1:56. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the fifth win of the year for Alabama Hannah ($9.02) who is owned by Jeffrey Nanna and trained by Mike Deters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alabama Hannah was only one of four winners Joe Chindano Jr. drove during the night. He also scored with Infinity Seelster (1:56.4, $8.84), Premier Tess (1:58.2, $20.82) and Wildcat Lisa (1:58.3, $6.12). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyle Swift also had himself a big night on Wednesday, winning three races as a driver and two as a trainer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Friday (Oct. 17) with post time at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a $4,340 carryover in the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta in the 13th race.
