YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, April 7,
2015—Yonkers Raceway’s fourth round of the George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing
Series Saturday night attracted 18 entrants, thus neatly divided into three,
$50,000 divisions (races 5,6 and 7).
The math of three groupings and four
horses entered does not work with the new one-horse-per-trainer-per-division
rule, so Ron Burke had to “bench”
someone…
…and that someone was Foiled Again.
Harness racing’s richest-ever horse ($6,923,781) was entered Tuesday morning,
but “scratched” when there was not going to be a fourth division in this fourth
round.
Burke’s in-to-go trio are Bettor’s Edge
(Yannick Gingras, post 4) in the first grouping, Take it Back Terry (George
Brennan, post 2) in the second division and Clear Vision (Gingras, post 5)
in the third.
Those three currently rank 8th,
9th (tied) and 16th in the series standings, while Foiled
Again—with a second, third and fifth in three series starts—sits in 13th
place.
Series leader (3-for-3) and defending
champion P H Supercam is also a non-participant this time around. The fifth
(final) preliminary round is scheduled for Saturday, April 18th,
with the final (purse TBA) Saturday, April 25th.
