YONKERS, NY,
Tuesday, March 12, 2019—Yonkers Raceway’s Tuesday night (March 12th)
storylines included Sharp Action Money and wagering money.
Sharp Action Money
(Yannick Gingras, $2.60) drilled his foes in the second round of the Sagamore
Hill Pacing Series, making him the only perfect participant with the prelims
two-thirds complete.
The 4-year-old
Sportswriter gelding, co-owned (as Burke Racing) by (trainer) Ron Burke, Weaver
Bruscemi, M1 and RTC Stables, has turned in a pair of odds-on,
down-the-the-road open-length performances.
For the second
consecutive night, the Raceway vaulted over the million-dollar handle plateau,
as the dozen races attracted a total
of $1,037,444. It was the fourth ‘carded million’ of the season.
A reminder that
this Friday and Saturday evenings (March 15th and 16th)
begin the Blue Chip Matchmaker (Friday, five divisions) and George Morton Levy
Memorial Pacing Series (Saturday, six divisions), respectively. The lasses go
for $40,000 per race, while the lads chase $50,000 each.
