The race rounded turn three and headed up the backstretch, where Monti pulled Elegant Woman A first-over and quickly surged alongside Delta Three N before crossing-over to the front as she entered the final bend. Once on top, Elegant Woman A swelled up and ran off the screen by 4-\u00bd lengths under a line drive to win in 1:55.4.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the seventh win of the year for Elegant Woman A ($6.06) who is owned by Vogel and Wags Nags, Jack Rice, her trainer Maria Rice and her driver Drew Monti.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the $8,800 Class-A fillies and mares pace, Rightfully Mine (Kyle Swift) was last at the half before pulling second-over behind Day To Party (Drew Monti) in pursuit of the frontrunning Major Megan (Dave McNeight III) who led the group to three-quarters. It was there Swift tipped Rightfully Mine three-deep and took the lead as she made her way down the stretch to a 1:57.4 victory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the fourth win of the year for Rightfully Mine ($5.92) who is owned by Monique Cohen and trained by Chris Petrelli.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drivers Dave McNeight III and Drew Monti and trainer Chirs Petrelli all had three wins apiece on Wednesday night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Friday (Oct. 24) with post time at 6:00 p.m. and there will be a $7,032 carryover in the Jackpot Super Hi-5 pentafecta in the 13th race.&nbsp;<br>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%7Cd0db94d283f443cf109508de11d7b565%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638967815359395255%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Q6SrdTf7YatxKyTAh2VOVwD3xaqTO5C24%2BI4yR5HcLo%3D&amp;reserved=0\">bataviadownsgaming.com<\/a>) under the \u201cLive Racing\u201d tab.
