YONKERS, NY, Friday, January 26,
2018—Foiled Again’s second crack at his first hundred happens in conjunction
with Yonkers Raceway ‘s return to Thursday nights.
First post for the 10-race,
first-of-the-month card is 6:50 PM. Foiled Again, whose 99 career wins go along
with a sport’s-best $7.5 million in earnings, drew post position No. 5 in the
$20,000, eighth-race pace.
Yannick Gingras is reunited with his
long-time ‘date’ for co-owner (as Burke Racing)/trainer Ron Burke. The
14-year-old Dragon Again gelding won his seasonal debut, moving him to the
precipice of the milestone. However, he threw in a clunker in his last outing,
finishing a non-factor sixth.
Thursday night is the 306th
lifetime purse try for Foiled Again as he remains at the same (non-winners of
$20,000 in last five starts) level of his previous two races.
Note that the Raceway shall offers a
six-program race week beginning this Sunday (Jan. 28th). The Sunday
‘French’ card goes at High Noon, while the ensuing evenings (Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday) all have a first post of 6:50 PM.
After this weekend, Sundays take a hiatus
until Feb. 25th.
