Hamburg, NY — Get Answers ($10.80) had the right answer in Buffalo Raceway’s featured $12,000 pace for fillies and mares on Wednesday afternoon (March 5) as she used a slow but steady first-over grind to top Bolt Of Beauty by two lengths in 1:58.4 over a good track.
As Arco N showed the way through fractions of :30, :59.2 and 1:29.2, Get Answers and driver Drew Monti sat in sixth place in the field of seven. Just before the half-mile pole, Get Answers started her first-over journey and began to steadily chip away at the lead of the fading Arco N. But at the final marker, Get Answers started to chug away from the field and was home free down the long stretch. Bolt Of Beauty (Kevin Cummings) rallied for second place with Celia Bayama (Kyle Swift) taking the show position.
Trained by James Clouser Jr. and co-owned by Burke Racing Stable, Yannick Gingras, Weaver Bruscemi and France Canzone, the 5-year-old Get Answers (Lazarus-Want Answers) has now won once in two attempts and earned $8,756 this year, banking a total of $221,928 in her career.
In the $10,500 sub-featured pace for the ladies, Big Bad Mosa (Kevin Cummings) enjoyed the action between Samosa Hanover and Atlantic Star on the front end, but then when it was time to go, she eagerly responded to register a two-length victory in 1:58.2.
Samosa Hanover (Shawn McDonough) showed the way on the lead, putting up times of :29, :59 and 1:28.4. But approaching the final marker, Atlantic Star (Joseph Chindano Jr.) pulled alongside Samosa Hanover with Big Bad Mosa patiently watching from the pocket. Turning for home, Atlantic Star couldn’t keep her rally going on the outside and dropped back. Big Bad Mosa ($7.20) dropped into the passing lane and used a :29,2 last quarter to cruise past Samosa Hanover with Bettor B Sawyer (James McNeight Jr.) taking the show spot.
Co-owned by El Dorado Stables and Michael Torcello, the 8-year-old Big Bad Mosa (Big Bad John-Cammosa) recorded her third victory of the season in seven attempts. The win lifted her 2025 bankroll to $16,750 and $164,187 in her career.
Chindano had four victories in the sulky while Kevin Cummings had a triple and David McNeight III a double. Owner/trainers Maggie Chindano and Julie Wagonblott each posted two wins while Clouser also notched a pair.
Racing will return on Saturday (March 8) at 2:30 p.m. with a 13-race card scheduled. For more information, including the latest news, upcoming promotions, entries, results and race replays, go to www.buffaloraceway.com.
