By Kevin Oklobzija Friday Race 1 No. 4 Cam Engine (5-1 morning line). Raced really well in his Batavia debut last week, brushing to the lead up the backstretch before losing in a three-way photo.

Spot Play Hot Plays for Oct. 4 at Batavia Downs

By Kevin Oklobzija Spot Play Hot Plays for Sept. 22/23 at Batavia Downs Unfortunately, I don't see many possible price plays for Friday.
