YONKERS,
NY, Friday, June 21, 2013--Yonkers Raceway's pair of Friday night $46,000 co-features
Open Handicaps--for prim and proper pacers and everyone's-allowed
trotters--were won by millionairess-in-waiting Krispy Apple (Brian Sears,
$2.60) and Super Manning (Sears again, $5.20).
The
distaff derby, reduced to seven when scheduled inside starter Marie's Z Tam
came up ill, saw longshot Brownsville Bomber (Brent Holland) take her
shot on the lead. After early intervals of :27.4 and :57.2--and with Keeper's
Destiny (Dan Dube) pocketed--Southwind Jazmin (Jason Bartlett) tried it
first-up.
Odds-on
favorite Krispy Apple, who had floated into an early five-hole from what was
now an outside post position No. 7, was behind that one going toward a 1:24.4
three-quarters. Brownsville Bomber had a length lead in and out of the final
turn, and but was giving way grudgingly.
It
was a wide Krispy Apple going by, widening to a length-and-three-quarters in
1:53. Chasing her home were three ladies--Keeper's Destiny, Brownsville Bomber
and a closing-stoutly Virgin Mary (Eric Goodell)--who could not be separated by
modern technology. Thus, a triple dead-heat for place, with Southwind Jazmin
nearly making it a quartet on the line together.
For
Krispy Apple, a 5-year-old daughter of Western Ideal trained by PJ Fraley for
co-owners Bamond Racing and Joseph Davino, it was her sixth win in a
dozen seasonal starts (career earning now $984,468).
The
exotics (pay close attention, there's a quiz), with a trio of bridesmaids, look
like this (Keeper's Destiny is indicated by "2", Brownsville Bomber
is indicated by "4” and Virgin Mary is indicated by "7").

The
featured trot was a duel in the moon between outside assignees Super Manning
and Monsignor Flan (Holland). Super Manning, unsighted since winning this race
at 19-1 three weeks ago, had many more betting buddies on this night. The 8-5
favorite, ordered to post No. 7, worked around Lorenzo Dream (Jim Pantaleano)
before 28-second opening quarter-mile.
After
a :56.4 intermission, eight-hole denizen Monsignor Flan moved from sixth.
Briefly wide around a struggling Whata Winner (Jim Doherty), the "Monsignor"
engaged Super Manning in and out of a 1:25.4 three-quarters. Super Manning
owned a length lead into the lane, then kept his challenger at hoof's length,
winning by a neck in 1:54.3.
Lorenzo
Dream was safely third, with Melady's Monet (Cat Manzi) and Son of Nordic
(Goodell) placed fourth and fifth, respectively. Whata Winner had crossed the
line fourth, but was banished to the bottom for interference.
For
Super Manning, a 5-year-old homebred Diamond Goal gelding owned by Joe
Pennacchio and trained by Brandon Todd, it was his fourth win in 17 '13 starts.
The exacta paid $19.40, with the triple (three wagering favorites in order)
returning $46.80.
The
Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting
