HAMBURG, N.Y. --- There was no one better than Do Be Better ($6.30) in Buffalo Raceway's $13,000 Open I-II Pace for the fillies and mares on Wednesday afternoon (March 12) as she easily wired the field in 1:56.1 over the fast track.

McVera (Shawn McDonough) got the perfect trip in the pocket throughout the race behind Do Me Better but had absolutely no answers down the stretch when it was needed and finished 1-1/2 lengths behind the winner. Legal Jeopardy (David McNeight III) was third in the main event.
Winning her second consecutive start, the 4-year-old Do Me Better (Always A Virgin-Do Me Good) is co-owned by trainer Maggie Chindano and Jeff Savidge Racing LLC. The victory upped her bankroll to $12,075 on the campaign and to $55,144 in her career.
In the $10,500 sub-featured pace for the fillies and mares, Bettor B Sawyer ($13.60) used a sweeping three-wide move approaching the final marker and beat the favored Big Bad Mosa by 2-3/4 lengths in 1:57.4.
Hurrikane Msrodine and Atlantic Star battled it out early by notching fractions of :28.4 and :59.1. But those spirited splits didn't hold up. Samosa Hanover then took control but only enjoyed the advantage briefly as Bettor B Sawyer (James McNeight Jr.) and Big Bad Mosa began their journeys forward.
Heading down the lane, it became a two horse battle with Bettor B Sawyer able to turn back the mild threat from Big Bad Mosa (Kevin Cummings). Atlantic Star (Joseph Chindano Jr.) captured the show position.
Owned by Jose Cervantes and trained by John Leggio, it was the second victory in seven appearances in 2025 for the 8-year-old Bettor B Sawyer (Betterthancheddar-Dreamfair Orchid). The win increased her seasonal total to $13,130 and to $159,563 lifetime.
Racing will return on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. with 12 races scheduled. There's a $981 carryover in the Pick 5 which begins in the second race.
