The move from Dover Downs to Buffalo Raceway hasn't fazed Ellieonthemove one bit, as she powerfully romped to a 4-1/4-length victory over Wonderful World in 1:55.3 over a fast track in the featured $9,000 Class A-Open Handicap Pace on Wednesday night (March 17).
Debuting in Western New York with a 1-1/4-length victory in 1:56.1 on March 10, Ellieonthemove ($6.00) stepped up in class this week and handled the task with ease.
Using a first-over trip just past the half, Ellieonthemove (Kevin Cummings) reached even terms with the pacesetting Wonderful World (Ray Fisher Jr.) at the top of the lane. In the stretch, Ellieonthemove was way too strong and strutted away to a decisive win over Wonderful World. Little Joke (Billy Davis Jr.) took third.
Owned by Sidney Easton and trained by Anthony Cummings, it was the third victory in seven attempts this season for the six-year-old Well Said mare Ellieonthemove. The win upped her 2021 bankroll to $11,760 and $105,058 lifetime.
Racing will resume on Saturday (March 20) at 6 p.m. with an 11-race program scheduled. There will be a guaranteed pool of $6,000 in the Pick-5, which begins in the second race.
