YONKERS, NY, Friday, January 15,
2016—Favored Secret’s Out N (Brian Sears, $2.90) was both patient and punctual
Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $24 Filly and Mare Preferred Handicap
Pace.
Assigned post position No. 5 among the
six-pack, Secret’s Out N was away third, watching as Rockn’ Ruby N (Dan Dube)
two-moved around Jonsie Jones (Tyler Buter), After early intervals of :28.1 and
:58.3, the people’s choice took up the chase.
She engaged “Ruby” in and out of the
1:27.1 three-quarters, with the latter owning a short advantage into the lane.
However, Secret’s Out N had her rival lined up, winning by a measured neck in
1:54.1. Jonsie Jones, unable to match strides with those two, angled and
settled for third.
Bazooka Terror (George Brennan) and Regil
Elektra (Eric Carlson) rounded out the payees, while Apricot Sour (Jason
Bartlett) had a learning experience.
For Secret’s
Out N, a now-6-year-old Down Under daughter of Mach Three owned by Andrew
Herzog and trained by Tom Milici, she won her seasonal debut. The exacta paid
$9.90, with the triple returning $31.60.
The Raceway’s
season continues Saturday (post time 7:10 PM), Sunday (11:55 AM), Monday (7:10
