Batavia, NY \u2014 The last of four Sunday matinee cards of racing was held at Batavia Downs on August 16 and offered a stout slate of competition, with two top tier tilts headlining the 14-race program with winners heavily backed by the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A $13,500 Open Handicap trot was slotted in race 11 and resident diagonal-gaited specialist, El Toro Loco, registered the 30th win of his career for trainer Sam Smith, who registered a conditioning grand slam during the afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Cummings sent El Toro Loco to the point and then \u201cThe Crazy Bull\u201d did the rest. With Valentine Express (Shawn Gray) drafting in the garden spot, El Toro Loco set middling fractions of :29.1, 1:00 and 1:29.1, yet still maintained a 1-\u00be length lead heading into turn four. At the top of the lane, Valentine Express was trotting sharply in his :28 flat final panel and made up the majority of the deficit. But he came up a head short at the line, where El Toro Loco hung on to win in 1:57.3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the third win in the last six starts and sixth win of the year for El Toro Loco ($3.28), who is owned by Mike Torcello. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other winners Smith sent to post included Fox Valley Cayman (1:55.4, $3.74), Cash Back (1:57, $11.00) and Seventier (1:57.4, $3.02), who rounded out his four-bagger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

There was also a $13,500 Open Handicap pace two races later where Lanjo Lee posted his 40th lifetime victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyle Cummings also sent Lanjo Lee forward off the gate and opened up a two-length lead at the :28.2 quarter. He then got to the half in :57.1 where Lip Reader A (Drew Monti) pulled first-over from third and joined the pocket-sitting Luck Is Up (Brett Macdonald) in pursuit of the leader. As the race approached three-quarters, Lip Reader A moved into second, but was still a length shy of Lanjo Lee. Lip Reader A continued to compete hard through the last turn but when they reached the stretch, Cummings tapped the gas and Lanjo Lee opened up a two-length gap and won in 1:54.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanjo Lee ($2.56) eclipsed $75,000 in earnings this year with the victory, now showing $75,096 in the bank for owner Gordon Swift. Tammy Cummings trains the winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers Kevin Cummings and Shawn Gray posted three wins apiece during the proceedings on Sunday.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live racing will resume at Batavia Downs on Wednesday (Aug 19) at 5 p.m. and feature two divisions of New York Sire Stake 2-year-old pacing fillies who will compete for $104,000 in total purses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
