YONKERS, NY, Saturday, January 11, 2014--Dream Out Loud N (Matt Kakaley)
picked off favored Bettor's Edge (George Brennan) Saturday night, winning
Yonkers Raceway's $33,000 Open Handicap Pace.
Assigned post position No. 2, he worked out a pocket trip behind 2-5 choice
Bettor's Edge. That one threw down intervals of :28.1, :57.2 and 1:25.2.
All the while, he was pestered by a fumbly-gaited, but persistent, longshot
Eddie Sweat (Jason Bartlett).
Bettor's Edge eventually dismissed that one, taking a length lead into the
lane. However, Dream Out Loud N was just minding his business. He angled out
and easily went by, the margin a couple of lengths in 1:53.3. Bettor's
Edge held second, with Dallenbach Hanover (Brian Sears), Lumberjack Willie
(Jordan Stratton) and Sapphire City (Eric Carlson) settling for the remainder.
For Dream Out Loud N, a 7-year-old Down Under Bettor's Delight gelding owned by
Joe Muscara and trained by Darren Cassar, he returned $18 (third choice) for a
season-debuting victory. The exacta paid $38.20, with the triple returning
$106.50.
The
Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting
accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting
available daily.
