For the second week in a row, the Queen of Western New York trotting, Tuesdays With Mom, easily handled the boys when she went on to a much-the-best score in the featured $8,100 Open Trot at Batavia Downs Casino on Friday night

.

Having been assigned Post 7 made no difference, as the Downs’ leading reinsman, Jack Flanigen, was able to fire Tuesdays With Mom out of the starting gate, and they made every pole a winning one en route to a 3-1/4 length score, in 2:01.2, on a cold and windy evening in Western New York. Perfect Man (Dave McNeight III) came on to be a non-threatening second while Hello Carlo (Kevin Cummings) finished well after a troubled trip to be third.

“She just loves the front end,” Flanigen said. “The cold weather didn’t bother her a bit. She was on the top of her game tonight.”

Tuesdays With Mom ($5.60) notched her six win of the 2011 campaign for owner-trainer Peter Arrigenna, who is also the breeder. The Credit Winner-Princess Deana four-year-old raised her lifetime earnings to $466,281.

Longtime Western New York horseman Charles Bacon won his second race of the year when he guided Sheza Pacific Barb to a 14-1 upset victory. The 75-year-old Bacon bred and co-owns the three-year-old filly with Robert Klimtzak.

Flanigen lead all drivers when he scored the natural hat trick winning races seven, eight and nine while Keith Kash Jr., Shawn Mcdonough and John Cummings Jr., all scored driving doubles. With seven more nights left in the 2011 season, top trainer honours remains too close to call. Alex Guiliani scored with a pair from his barn giving him 38 wins, tying him with John Mungillo, while Jim Graham is right behind with 37 and Bobbi Jo Martin is not far back with 35.

Racing will resume on Saturday night with a Pick 6 carryover of $3,888. Post time will be at 6:40 p.m.
