NY, Friday, September 2, 2016—Sometimes, these stories just write themselves….
…Carlos
Danger is coming to town for Labor Day, and—go figure—he finds himself behind
the eight-ball.
‘Carlos,’
named after the alter ego of, well, you know, drew the far outside position
Monday night for Yonkers Raceway’s $15,000, third-race pace.
His
name notwithstanding, the four-legged Carlos Danger is a bit camera-shy, as in
one win in 20 lifetime starts. That victory was here Independence Night (see
accompanying photo), so perhaps he prefers to work holidays.
‘Carlos’
is a 3-year-old statebred colt (no shot he’d be a gelding) who has been
competing primarily in New York Sire Stakes event. Monday’s opposition is
considerably easier, so perhaps the 5-1 morning-line proposition can get that
elusive second photo to send around to his, er, pals.
Through
the miracle of modern technology, those wishing to see Carlos Danger in all his
glory can do so on-line at http://empirecitycasino.com/racing/live-video/.
Post time for Monday’s first race is the usual 7:10 PM, with ‘Carlos’ racing at
approximately 7:50 PM.
