Miss Mary Mach kept her brief unbeaten streak alive at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday evening (May 29) by taking the featured $11,000 Class 'A' Open pace for fillies and mares.
Making her debut at the Hamburg half-mile oval on May 22 with a half-length victory in 1:56.1, Miss Mary Mach (Jim Morrill Jr.) stepped up in class this week and had no issues registering a 1-1/2 length decision over Sportsmuffler in 1:56.1.
Scoring from post 4, Miss Mary Mach ($5.30) was able to storm to the lead and set soft fractions of :29.1 and :59.3.
Morrill then got Miss Mary Mach into overdrive the final two panels, using a :56.3 last half to nail down the victory. Sportsmuffler (David McNeight III) took the second-place position while Sarah Cola (Ray Fisher Jr.) was third.
Co-owned by the Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC, it was the sixth win in 16 outings for the four-year-old mare Miss Mary Mach (Mach Three-Mary Artman). The triumph moved her seasonal earnings to $38,432 and $73,165 lifetime.
Morrill completed the evening with a triple while trainer James Clouser Jr. collected a double.
Racing will continue on Friday evening (May 31) at 5 p.m. with a nine-race program set. There is a $1,026 carryover in the Pick-5, which begins in the second race.
