BEDROOMCONFESSIONS
FRIDAY 50G DISTAFF DERBY
BY
FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway
YONKERS, NY, Friday, February 10,
2017—Favored Bedroomconfessions (Scott Zeron, $4.30) was first home from
second-over Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $50,000 Filly and Mare Open
Handicap Pace.
Unhurried from post position No. 4,
Bedroomconfessions watched as pole-assigned Empress Deo (Matt Kakaley) was the
lone leaver. The other lasses quickly demurred through soft early intervals of
:28.2 and :57.1.
Passing the intermission, Delightful
Dragon (Brent Holland) took out of third, giving the people’s choice a lass to
latch onto.
Empress Deo maintained her advantage in
and out of a 1:25.2 three-quarters, taking a length-and-a-half lead into the
lane. However, after buried alive a week ago, Bedroomconfessions had no issue
finding an open lane here. She powered past the leader, winning by
three-quarters of a length in 1:53.2.
Empress Deo held second, with Delightful
Dragon, Motu Moonbeam N (Mark MacDonald) and a pocketed Arielle Lynn (Jason
Bartlett) settling for the remainder.
For
Bedroomconfessions, a 5-year-old daughter of American Ideal co-owned (as Alagna
Racing) by (trainer) Tony Alagna and Riverview Racing, it was her first win in
a pair of seasonal starts. The exacta paid $6.80, with the triple (three
wagering favorites in order) returning $22.80.
