YONKERS, NY, Friday, February 23,
2018—Hard-knocking pacing mare Regil Elektra became harness racing’s newest
seven-figure performer Friday night (Feb. 23rd), with a Yonkers
Raceway second-place effort.
Career start No. 149 saw
just-over-even-money favorite Regil Elektra (Jordan Stratton) lead early in the
$25,000 finale, before yielding to eventual winner Mach it a Par (Jason
Bartlett). Regil Elektra did end up the bridesmaid, the $6,250 pay envelope
increasing her lifetime loot to $1,001,978.
The 8-year-old daughter of Mach Three,
owned by Fred Monteleone Stable and trained by Keith Armer, has a record of 44
wins, 27 seconds and 15 third-place finishes.
His win in the finale was one of a
Bartlett quintet during the 10-race card
