Rock My World Upsets At Buffalo

Rock My World got to the front end early in Buffalo Raceway's $10,500 Class A Open Pace for fillies and mares on Wednesday night (May 22) and was there at the finish line to notch the $26.80 surprise in a seasonal best 1:55.3.

Taking command right off the starting gate, Rock My World (Kevin Cummings) set reasonable splits of :28.3, :57.2 and 1:26.3 over a fast track. With a few taps of encouragement down the home stretch, Rock My World easily held off the belated threat of Little Joke (Shawn McDonough), who was 1-1/4 lengths behind. The heavily favoured Lady London (Billy Davis Jr.) took the third-place cheque.

Owned by Henry Conradt and conditioned by Mike Ohol, it was the fourth win in 15 appearances for Rock My World (Rock N Roll Hanover-Love The Game). The seven-year-old mare has now put $25,115 in the bank this season and $198,534 lifetime.

Davis, Buffalo Raceway's leading driver, earned three victories on the program while Jim Morrill Jr. doubled. David Russo collected a pair of training scores.

Racing will continue on Friday evening (May 24), with an eight-race card slated for 5 p.m. There is a $598 carryover in the Pick-5, which begins in the second race.
