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

YONKERS, NY, Saturday, September 10, 2016—If your name began with initials, things turned out rather well during Yonkers Raceway’s Saturday night $45,000 co-features.

Favored P H Supercam (Jason Bartlett, $5.60) won the blind draw Open Pace in a season’s-best 1:51, while second choice E R Ellie (Jordan Stratton, $9.80) picked off Melady’s Monet (Bartlett, six winners during the dozen-race card) to win the Open Handicap Trot (1:54.3).

P H Supercam, a 9-year-old Million Dollar Cam gelding owned and trained by Jeffrey Bamond Jr., it was his fourth win (51st career) in 20 seasonal starts.

‘Ellie,’ a 7-year-old daughter of Elian Hanover owned by Tyler Stillings and trained by Mike Forte, is now 7-for-27 this season.

New York Sire Stakes continue here Monday night, with the $147,723 New York Sire Stakes Pat Quaglietta Trot (2YO fillies).
