YONKERS, NY, Saturday, November 30, 2013--P H Supercam (Jason Bartlett) skimmed
the cones Saturday night, winning Yonkers Raceway mad-scramble $37,000 Open
Handicap Pace.
Away second from post position No. 6
(in one notch after an inside scratch), P H Supercam was shuffled to third
after a quarter-move by All Speed Hanover (Brent Holland).
That one made the lead around Dream
Out Loud N (Jordan Stratton) at the 27-second opening quarter-mile, then found
a :55.4 intermission.
Escape the News (George Brennan), as
the 11-10 favorite, moved first-up from fourth. He pressured the leader through
a 1:24.1 three-quarters. All Speed Hanover actually enjoyed a length-and-a-half
of separation entering the lane, but could not close the sale.
"All Speed" was surrounded
on all sides, but the short way home of P H Supercam proved best. He
closed deep in the passing lane to whip a stubborn Escape the New by a head in
1:53. Ardyne Ace (Larry Stalbaum) was a second-up third, with Dream Out Loud N
and All Speed Hanover rounding out the payees. The fivesome found themselves
separated by a half-length at the line.
For P H Supercam, a 6-year-old Milliondollar
Cam gelding owned by Bamond Racing and trained by PJ Fraley, he returned $10.40
(third choice) for his 11th win in 26 seasonal starts. The exacta paid
$49, with the triple returning $162.50.
The
Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every
