If Mother Nature cooperates, Buffalo Raceway will kick off its 2014 Winter Meet tonight after cancelling the first three nights due to weather extremes (too cold, then thaw). Buffalo Raceway is located at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg, New York.
Most horses who race at Buffalo race on the Batavia-Buffalo circuit and with Batavia closing the first week of December, many of these horses show no lines since the Batavia meet closed which makes determining which horses are ready to go at first asking somewhat challenging. In addition to the circuit, horses occasionally find their way up from Northfield Park, Saratoga, and Monticello with the rare horse up from Yonkers Raceway.
If you follow the New York Sires Stakes at all, some of the drivers will be familiar to you. In addition, you will find Billy Dobson, Ray Fisher Jr, and Peter Wrenn in the sulky. Old time followers of the sport may be interested to know that Gerald Sarama and Jim Graham are training at Buffalo.
Exotic wager players will be happy to know the $.50 Trifecta, Pick-3, and Pick-4 are available at Buffalo along with the dime Superfecta. Daily Double players will be happy to know there are four doublds available starting with races 1, 4, 8, and 12.
Here are my selections.
