YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, April 24, 2012--The pills played out, shall we say,
rather interestingly.
Real Nice and Foiled Again drew post position Nos. 7 and 8, respectively, for
Saturday night's $455,000 final of Yonkers Raceway's George Morton Levy
Memorial Pacing Series.
The complete lineup, with declared drivers...1-Blatantly Good (George Brennan),
2-Art Z (Brett Miller), 3-Atochia (Ron Pierce), 4-Fitz's Z Tam (Brian Sears),
5-Strand Hanover (Luc Ouellette), 6-Nob Hill High (Jordan Stratton), 7-Real
Nice (Jason Bartlett), 8-Foiled Again (Yannick Gingras).
Atochia and Foiled Again race as a common-ownership entry.
Note that the final is Race 9 on the 12-race card (approximate post 10 PM).
There is also a $100,000 series consolation (8th race), and a $50,000
Levy-eligible event (6th race).
Saturday's
$297,000 final of the Blue Chip Matchmaker (7th race, approximate post 9:20 PM)
finds See You at Peelers leaving from the pylons.
The complete draw, with drivers...1-See You at Peelers (Sears), 2-Rocklamation
(Gingras), 3-Anndrovette (Tim Tetrick), 4-Fox Valley Sage (Cat Manzi), 5-Ginger
and Fred (Bartlett), 6-Billmar Scooter (Eric Goodell), 7-Chancey Lady (Andy
Miller), 8-Western Silk (Brennan).
Rocklamation and Ginger and Fred race as a common-ownership entry, while
Anndrovette and Chancey Lady go uncoupled due to bona fide separate ownership.
A $75,000 series consolation is carded as the fifth race.
The Levy and Matchmaker are the sport's two richest North American races of the
season to date.
The Raceway's five-night-per-week (Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday)
live schedule continues. First post for all programs remains at 7:10 PM.
Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting
available around the NYRA schedule.
