Stratosphere was shot into orbit by driver Drew Monti right before the opening panel, and that bold brush proved to be the difference as the six-year-old gelding collected the victory in Buffalo Raceway s $11,000 Class AA-Open Handicapped Pace on Saturday night (May 22).
Sitting third behind Santana Beach and Thor De Vie approaching the opening marker, Stratosphere wasn t pleased with the action on the front so he took control of matters, firing to the lead.
With splits of :28.4, :57.2 and 1:26, Stratosphere was ready to face the challenges that awaited him in the home stretch. Daylight Rush gave it a good try but couldn t get by Stratosphere as he finished a half length in front in 1:54.1. Santana Beach and Under Paid finished in a dead heat for third.

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.
