A PAIR OF SIXES, FOR OPENERS

BY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway

YONKERS, NY, Monday, June 20, 2016—“Anything you can do, I can do…just as well.”

Friday night, Jason Bartlett won six of Yonkers Raceway’s 11 races, including that evening’s feature with Krispy Apple.

Saturday night, Mark MacDonald won six of Yonkers Raceway’s 11 races, including both of that evening’s co-features with Sunfire Blue Chip and Aggressive.

With the six-pack gauntlet having been thrown down—twice—perhaps a third driver can join to form a “devilish” troika. For now, though, Messrs. Bartlett and MacDonald own the bragging rights.

The pair entered Monday night ranked first (276 wins) and sixth (83), respectively, in local standings.
