Lenny Mac Beats The Boys In Open Trot

Published: February 23, 2018 08:03 pm EST

Lenny Mac ($3.50) may have been the lone mare in the field in Buffalo Raceway's $9,500 Open Trot on Friday night (February 23) but it didn't matter to her as she roughed up the boys in taking a solid 2-1/2 length victory over Noble Legend in 2:00 on the sloppy track.

It was a battle to the front end early with Osprey Vision taking command over Empire Earl N in :29.3. Lenny Mac, sitting third past the half, put her head down and went to work up the backstretch the final time, taking the lead with a quarter=mile to trot.

In the stretch, Lenny Mac (Shawn Gray) found little competition as Noble Legend (Billy Davis Jr.) and Empire Earl N (Drew Monti) scrambled for second and third-place, respectively.

Owned by William Emmons and trained by James Clouser Jr., Lenny Mac earned her second win in four tries this year. The victory pushed the seven-year-old Kadabra mare's seasonal earnings to $12,635 and lifetime bankroll to $257,203.

Davis Jr. led the way on the night with four wins in the sulky, Monti finished the program with a triple while Shawn Gray and John Cummings Jr. each had doubles. Trainers J.D. Perrin, Jerry Nugent Jr. and David Russo had two victories apiece.

Racing will resume on Saturday night with a 12-race card scheduled to go to the post at 6 p.m.
