After being claimed for $17,500 last week by owner Michael Torcello, Endeavors Pride made his first return on that investment by winning Buffalo Raceway s featured $11,300 Class AA-Open Handicapped Pace on Saturday night (May 29).
Black Is Back worked hard but eventually got to the lead in the main event, setting the tempo with fractions of :28.1, :56.3 and 1:25.3 over the good track. Endeavors Pride was widest of all in the lane, decisively outpacing Daylight Rush and Black Is Back in 1:54.3 to win by a solid length.
Endeavors Pride (Keystone Endeavor-Gingerbread Square) is a seven-year-old gelding that has now produced $16,071 in earnings on the campaign and $186,207 in his career. Gerry Sarama trains the $17.00 while Jim Morrill Jr. sat in the bike.
It s been nearly six months since Black Is Back went to the winner s circle, but he made it back there on Saturday night (May 8) after taking a three-quarter length win over Mr Ham Sandwich in Buffalo Raceway s $10,500 Class AA-Handicapped Pace.
The last time Black Is Back had a photo opportunity was on Nov. 28, 2020 when he won the $8,500 Open I Pace at Batavia Downs. Last week, Black Is Back suffered a tough three-quarter loss to Mr Ham Sandwich but was able to turn the tables on him this time around.
Taking control from the start, Black Is Back posted splits of :29, :57.2 and 1:26.2 over the fast track. Things got interesting in the stretch drive with Mr Ham Sandwich taking dead aim on the leader, but Black Is Back gutted it out to hit the wire first. Endeavors Pride took the show position.
After a pair of heart breaking half-length setbacks the past two weeks, Mr Ham Sandwich avoided disappointment again by rolling to a solid three-quarter-length victory over Black Is Back in the $10,600 Class AA-Open Handicapped Pace at Buffalo Raceway on Saturday night (May 1). Mr Ham Sandwich covered the mile in 1:54 over the fast track, the fastest time of the meet.
Sitting fourth after the half-mile station, driver David McNeight III put Mr Ham Sandwich on the rim and took command from pacesetting Thor De Vie with a quarter to go. Powerfully striding to a two-length margin heading for home, Mr Ham Sandwich had no issues in turning back Black Is Back while Thor De Vie finished in third.

Akron, NY - As the 2020 Batavia Downs meet draws to a close on Saturday (Dec. 12), the Upstate New York Chapter of the United States Harness Writers Association has announced the top human and equine performers for this past harness racing season.
These awards would normally be presented in the winner’s circle on the final night of racing during the annual UNY-USHWA Night of Distinction. However due to state restrictions with regard to the ongoing global pandemic, that will not be the case this year. The award winners will be given gift certificates in the paddock in lieu of the usual trackside ceremony because no one is allowed on the apron.
