Boomer Victorious

It was a SportsCenter moment on Sunday (July 11) as Boomer Berman the 14 year old gelding who will call it a career at the end of the year was victorious in Race 4 on Boomer Berman Day at Buffalo Raceway.

Boomer used a thrilling come from behind approach for his 85th career victory. Betting favorite Splendid Les driven by Kevin Cummings set all the fractions including a 6 length lead at the 3/4. Regular driver Jack Flanigen settled “Boomer” in last at the start of the race. Using cover from Catch That Yank Boomer made his move on the backstretch and a three-quarter mark was up to third. Having to go wide in the final turn he overtook the lead in the stretch and never looked back.
