Hamburg, NY--- A jump up in class didn’t seem to bother Most Wanted Lindy, a 6-year-old Cantab Hall gelding, as he won the $11,000 featured trot in 2:03, for owners, Scott T West of Vernon N.Y., and Katie A Currie of Surrey British Columbia, Canada, at Buffalo Raceway Friday night (Feb. 8).

Most Wanted Lindy, driven by Billy Dobson, won by three-quarters of a length over Hailstorm Volo.

It was the third win in five attempts this season for Most Wanted Lindy.

Dismissed by the bettors at 10-1, Most Wanted Lindy ($22.20) and reinsman Billy Dobson settled in fifth as eventual third-place finisher Perfect Man (Dave McNeight III) hit the quarter-pole in 30.2. Second-place finisher Hailstorm Volo (Jack Flanigen) retook the lead just past the quarter and cut the fractions to half in 1:01.4, and three quarters in 1:32.3. A heated battle occurred in the stretch, which saw Most Wanted Lindy prevail by three-quarters of a length at the finish line.

Trained by Scott West, the $5,500 winner's share of the purse put Most Wanted Lindy’s seasons earning at $15,012, and $100,774 lifetime. It was his 12th win in 75 lifetime starts.
