Buffalo: Drew Monti reaches 2,000 career win milestone

Drew Monti collected his 2,000th career driving victory on Saturday evening (March 12) when he steered YS Lotus ($4.10) to the win in Buffalo Raceway's 10th race. Ironically, Monti's 2,000th win came in a race that went in 2:00.

Monti entered the evening three short of the mark. Things didn't start out well as four of his scheduled drives were scratched to go with snow and windy conditions.

But he was able to start and chip into the mark by guiding Charmbo Orbit to a victory in the sixth race. Monti then posted an $11.80 score with Silverhill Blaze in the eighth race, setting him up for one more attempt on the night, that aboard YS Lotus in the finale.
