Youwillwishyouhad continues torrid streak at Buffalo Raceway

Hamburg, NY --- Youwillwishyouhad has become a regular customer of Buffalo Raceway
track photographer Steve Roth in the winner's circle. There was yet another photo session
with him on Saturday night (Jan. 31) as Youwillwishyouhad continued the 2015 campaign
with another victory in the $10,500 Open Pace at Buffalo Raceway.
Now a perfect three-for-three this season and in the money in 25 of 31 starts since the
beginning of 2014 including 14 wins, Youwillwishyouhad (John Cummings Jr.) came
charging down the lane to take a neck decision over Nothingbutmach in 1:56.1 over the fast
track.
Surprisingly sent off as the third choice in the field of
seven at 3-1, Youwillwishyouhad ($8.60) was
assigned the seven post and sat back and watched
the action on the front end for more than a half-mile.
But down the backstretch the final time, Cummings
gave Youwillwishyouhad the green light to go and he
responded perfectly, winging it three-wide to the
three-quarter marker.

Through the stretch, the 4-year-old gelding paced
smartly past the remaining field and notched the
head decision over a late driving longshot
Nothingbutmach (Shawn Gray). A :28.4 last quarter by Youwillwishyouhad proved to be the
crushing blow to the field. King Otra, the post time favorite, finished third with Billy Dobson
in the bike.
Youwillwishyouhad (No. 7) won another
in the Buffalo Raceway Open Pace.
Owned by Leonard Segall and trained by James Clouser Jr., Youwillwishyouhad (ArtiscapeDawn's Ideal) has now earned $15,750 this season and $81,917 lifetime.
Billy Dobson and Kevin Cummings each had three victories on the card while John
Cummings Jr. doubled.
The harness racing action will resume Wednesday night (Feb. 4) at Buffalo Raceway with a
solid 13-race program to be presented starting at 5 p.m. For more information, including
