Two Twentytwo, a six-year old Blissful Hall chestnut out of the Brand New Fella mare Marvelous Helen, won in 1:54.2, which now stands as the fastest pacing mile of the meet, for owner Dominic Colarusso Jr., at Buffalo Raceway Saturday night
. It was the fourth win in a row in as many attempts this season for Two Twentytwo.
Two Twentytwo ($2.40) leaving from Post 5, and driven by Jamie Dunlap, made every pole a winning one setting all the fractions in the race, :28.2, :56.4, and 1:26.1. A :28.1 last quarter-mile put the winner three lengths ahead of second place finisher Market Value (Jimmy Whisman) at the wire. Cruise Survivor (Tom Agosti) came in third.
“He did it so easy,” said Dunlap. “There’s no telling how fast he can go. He’s an absolute joy to drive, so smooth.”
Trained by Rich Mays, the $3,000 share of the winning purse put Two Twentytwo’s seasons bankroll at $11,300, and $220,342 lifetime.
