YONKERS, NY, Friday, July 17, 2015—Three
days after France celebrated Bastille Day, Yonkers Raceway celebrated Bastille
Night.
Bastille, the trotter, wired his foes in
Friday night’s $25,000 second race, going the distance in 1:56.4.
The Ronald Knigge 9-year-old Revenue S
homebred, trained by his daughter, Ashley, and driven by Jason Bartlett, paid
$6.40 as the slight wagering favorite. Bastille won his second race in 18
seasonal starts while going past $577,00 in career earnings.
