It was quite an adventurous mile for Under Paid, but after recovering from a wild but brief break, an inquiry and what turned to be a win photo, he found himself in the winner s circle in Buffalo Raceway s $8,000 Class A-AA Handicapped Pace on Saturday night (Feb. 13).
Allstar Energy was the winner of the feature, but was disqualified and placed seventh after interfering with Under Paid ($3.90) coming off the opening turn. Driver Ray Fisher Jr. was able to collect Under Paid after the gallop to stay in the race. They edged out Dojea Solo by a neck for the eventual victory while Ohio Prince was placed third.

Batavia, NY - Despite wintry conditions and a sloppy track, driver Ray Fisher Jr. was on top of his game and delivered five horses to the harness racing winner s circle at Batavia Downs on Wednesday night (Dec. 9) including three straight winners in races two through four for the natural hat trick.
Fisher s top score was in the $10,200 Open I Handicap trot with CR Blazin Beauty, who bolted right to the front and called all the shots. With the two post time favorites making breaks before the quarter, CR Blazin Beauty went unchallenged through fractions of :28.2, :59 and 1:27.4 and then turned for home with a four-length lead. From there she trotted to the wire under wraps to win in 1:59.1.
