New York Prime is Center Cut in the Buffalo Feature
Hamburg, NY---New York Prime, a seven-year old Bettor’s Delight gelding, out of the Western Hanover mare Western Duel, won the $9,000 Open Handicap Pace in 1:56.3, to register his first win this season for the Brothers IV Stable, here at Buffalo Raceway Saturday night.
New York Prime ($11.00) driven by reinsman Tom Agosti took the lead just past the quarter-pole, and then widened his lead at every call to beat second place finisher Arm And A Leg (Kevin Cummings) by six lengths. Nifty Prescott (Ken Holliday) came in third.
“He’s a nice horse,” said Agosti. “But boy is he lazy”.
Trained by Alex Giuliani, the $4,500 share of the winning purse put New York Prime’s seasons bankroll at $10,800, and $147,977 lifetime.
Driver Ken Holliday was the hot driver on this cold chilly night steering home five winners. Nearing the 20 million dollar mark in lifetime earnings, Holliday’s winners were Triple Bars ($4.30), Brandonsnorthrnluk ($5.50), Whitewall Hanover ($3.90), Runrun Big Eagle ($3.10), and Scudder ($3.60).
