The distaff pacers took center stage at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday afternoon (May 3) and it was driver Jim Morrill Jr. who used two different ploys to share the spotlight in both featured events.
It was a long grind but Fond Memories ($9.80) eventually got the job done in Buffalo Raceway's $17,500 Open Pace for the fillies and mares on Wednesday night (March 29) with a three-quarter-length victory over Miss Rockadali in 1:58.2 over the "good" track.
Miss Rockadali finished off her 2022 campaign with a victory in the $13,000 Fillies & Mares Preferred class at The Raceway at Western Fair District, and she kicked off her 2023 season with a repeat in the top class for distaffers.
The seven-year-old Dali mare Miss Rockadali ripped to the lead and never let go in progress to a 1:56.4 victory in the $13,000 Fillies & Mares Preferred Pace at Flamboro Downs on Thursday night (Dec. 22).
