YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, September 5,
2017—Yonkers Raceway’s Tuesday night (Sept. 5th) program featured
something rarely seen…even rarer when it happens again.
Win dead-heats bookended the dozen-race
card.
The first race, a $6,600 New York-bred
second level Excelsior pace, saw 28-1 shot Perfect Major (Marcus Miller) tag
favored Project Rock (Jason Bartlett) at the wire in 1:56.1.
Eleven races later, the $17,000 pacing
finale had Western Rockstar A (Dan Dube) and Grand Master (Bartlett) hit the
electronic line together in 1:54.2.
Bartlett’s pair of ‘heaters’ were included
in his six-win night.
