Julios Girl ($3.90) remained perfect at Buffalo Raceway with a solid three-length victory over Hey Sweetie in the $11,000 Class A-AA Handicap Pace for fillies and mares on Wednesday night (June 10).
Since arriving at Buffalo Raceway in early March, Julios Girl (David McNeight III) has reeled off three straight wins in as many starts, all in convincing fashion.
Scoring from post 4, Julios Girl had a bit of a tussle with Hey Sweetie (Billy Davis Jr.) to reach the top. Once she cleared, there were no serious threats, as Hey Sweetie and Hey Kobe (Drew Monti) — second and third, respectively — could only watch Julios Girl coast home in 1:56.4.
It was the fifth win in seven attempts this season for Julios Girl, a seven-year-old Art Director mare trained by James Clouser Jr. for owner William Emmons. The victory jacked her bankroll to $21,440 on the year and $166,458 lifetime.
Call My Broker ($27.20, Dan Yetman) avoided three breakers and then used a first-over journey to capture the $10,000 Class A-B Handicap Trot over Mighty Nicky (Monti) and Lucky Sheila (Jim Morrill Jr.) in 2:00.3.
With favourite State Ofmyhead AS, Kimco Kid and Lucky Sheila all making early breaks, Well Connected Kid took off and set fractions of :30.3, 1:01 and 1:30.3. Call My Broker was first off the pylons and headed straight to the top at the three-quarters marker. From there, it was clear sailing as no one could mount a challenge.
It was the second victory in nine tries in 2020 for Call My Broker, a six-year-old gelded son of Muscle Massive who races for owner Franklin Meier and trainer Angelo Nappo. The win jumped his seasonal winnings to $14,776 and $132,944 lifetime.
Davis completed the evening with five wins in the bike with Yetman posting a double. Maria Rice and Sabrina Shaw each had three training victories.
Racing will resume on Saturday evening (June 13), with a 12-race card scheduled beginning at 6 p.m.
