It was a unique version of 'All In The Family' for the McNeight crew on Saturday night (February 25) at Buffalo Raceway as driver David McNeight III drove three horses to victory, which covered three generations of his family.
In the third race, trainer David McNeight Jr. enjoyed watching his son (David III) guide Sea Star to a $38 victory.
Lucky Millionaire ($12.80), who was driven and trained by David III, captured the ninth race.
So with two generations now covered, there was a chance for the unique trifecta in the 12th race as Spring Terror, trained by grandfather David McNeight Sr., was entered with David III in the bike.
Sure enough, Spring Terror ($4.00) got up in the shadow of the wire to score the half-length win, giving the McNeights a unique three-generation family hat trick.
McNeight III sits fourth in the Buffalo Raceway driver's standings with 21 wins while David McNeight Jr. is in fourth-place in the trainer's rankings with 17 wins.
Racing resumes at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday night at 5 p.m. with 12 races scheduled. There's a $2,347 carryover in the Pick-5 which begins in the second race.
