YONKERS,
NY, Tuesday, January 22, 2013--Yonkers Raceway enjoyed its biggest handle of
the young season on a--shall we say--brisk Tuesday night, with $1,017,797
wagered on the 12-race card.
Brian Sears added to his lead in the driver standings with four winners,
including both halves of the $13.60 early daily double. Sears now has 29 wins
in the first nine racing nights. George Brennan won twice, with Eric Goodell,
Jeff Gregory, Matt Kakaley, Jim Pantaleano, Larry Stalbaum and Jordan Stratton
winning one race each.
