YONKERS, NY,
Tuesday, April 21, 2015—The post position gods gazed at P H Supercam and mocked
him.
Defending George
Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series champ? Don’t care.
Won all four of
his series starts this season, leading in prelim points? Big whoop.
New-minted
millionaire? You’d better bring more to the table than that.
The overseers of
the open draw made sure P H Supercam is going to have it earn it. He sits in
the lovely eight-hole Saturday night (Apr.25) for Yonkers Raceway’s $529,000
final of the season’s tribute to the Hall of Fame founder of Roosevelt Raceway.
The 28th edition of the Levy—a Free-For-All event—is the sport’s
richest race of the season to date.
It goes as the
eighth race of Yonkers’ dozen-race card (first post 7:10 PM, feature
approximately 9:50 PM).
The draw…1-Domethatagain
(Dan Dube), 2-Lucan Hanover (Dave Miller), 3-Windsong Jack (Brian Sears),
4-Beach Memories (Yannick Gingras), 5-Take it Back Terry (George Brennan).
6-Polak A (Sears also listed), 7-Mach it So (Tim Tetrick), 8-P H Supercam
(Jason Bartlett). Note that Mach it So and P H Supercam race as a common
ownership/trainer entry.
The evening
co-featured $261,000 final of the Blue Chip Matchmaker (Open Pacing Mares) goes
as the sixth race (approx. post 9 PM). It’s the second-richest harness race of
2015 to this point.
The draw…1-Venus
Delight (Bartlett), 2-Yagonnakissmeornot (Sears), 3-Fancy Desire (Matt
Kakaley), 4-Carolsideal (Dube), 5-Monkey on My Wheel (Sears also listed),
6-Strings (Eric Carlson), 7-Krispy Apple (Tetrick), 8-Camille (Brennan). Note a
pair of coupled common-ownership/trainer entries in Venus Delight and Krispy
Apple & Yagonnakissmeornot and Carolsideal.
Two series
consolations were carded as races 5 (Matchmaker, $75,000) and 7 (Levy,
$100,000), along with a $50,000 race for eligibles to the Levy (fourth race).
Changes to the Saturday program are to be made Wednesday morning (Apr. 22),
with story updated accordingly.
