Buffalo Raceway's winning favourites have been hitting at nearly a 45 per cent clip this season, but that statistic took a beating on Sunday afternoon as longshots ruled the day.


Only three post time favourites found the winner's circle while the big prices were the norm.


Driver Shawn McDonough was the main culprit on the day as he steered home three double-digit winners.


McDonough, who also had a training victory, scored wins with Goddesss Justin ($10.60), Alexas Prayer ($16.20) and Lucky Style ($27.00).


Michael Whelan brought home the biggest price on the program with a $30.60 victory on Western Expression.


Kevin Cummings had a driving double as he brought home bombs Scarlet Starlet ($12.60) and Mixed Media ($24.00).


Ray Fisher, Jr. wasn't a part the chaos as he had a double, registering wins with the favoured Lady Jill ($5.10) and Whitesand Noble ($4.70).


Racing will return on Wednesday night at 5 p.m. with a 14-race card set. The New York Sire Stakes for two-year-old colt and gelding trotters will be in the spotlight along with action in the Excelsior A and B Series. The Pick-5, which starts in the fifth race, will have a $597 carryover.
