YONKERS, NY,
Tuesday, March 5, 2019—Yonkers Raceway’s Sagamore Hill Pacing Series began
Tuesday night’s (March 5th), with Yannick Gingras beating a path to
the winner’s circle.
Gingras won three
of the four, $20,000 divisions for 3- and 4-year-old gentlemen, including a
maiden-breaker with 16-1 invading pole-sitter On Accident ($35.20). The
3-year-old Well Said gelding, owned by Frank Chick and trained by Kevin Lare,
won in 1:55.2.
Gingras ended with
five wins during the dozen-race card.
After Monday
night’s (March 4th) million-dollar handle, Tuesday’s wagering was
certainly adequate--$978,048—if not
quite seven figures.
The Raceway’s series continues next Monday and Tuesday
evenings (March 11th and 12th), with the second
round of the Petticoat and Sagamore Hill, respectively.
