Lookatmyart put together a 'masterpiece' on the meet-closing card at Buffalo Raceway on Sunday afternoon, July 21 as she registered a shocking $104.50 victory much to the delight of her faithful followers in the featured $14,247 Fillies & Mares Class A-Open Pace.

The favoured McNatural L (David McNeight III) had early control of the lead and posted reasonable fractions of :28.1, :57.2 and 1:26. Looking good turning for home, McNatural L started to feel the pressure coming from Lookatmyart (Shawn McDonough) and Dance Ticket (Jim Morrill Jr.).  In deep stretch, Lookatmyart got into high gear in the passing lane and zoomed past McNatural L by a half length in 1:55.2. Dance Ticket was able to hang on for the show spot.

The win was the first of the campaign in 12 starts for the seven-year-old mare Lookatmyart (American Ideal-Abrokenart Hanover), who is owned by Super Mile LLC and trained by Angelo Nappo. A career winner of 23 races, her bankroll climbed to $266,232.

Kevin Cummings won the Buffalo Raceway driving championship for the first time in several years after scoring the win aboard True That ($2.80) in the fifth race. Since 2019, Cummings has finished either second or third in the driver standings but finally clinched the elusive title on Sunday. He finished with 96 victories and more than $1 million in purse earnings.

Racing is expected to resume at Buffalo Raceway in 2025.
