YONKERS, NY, Monday, November 11, 2013--George Brennan broke open the holiday
six-pack, winning a half-dozen races during Yonkers Raceway's Monday
"Veteran's Night" card.
Brennan began the evening prevailing with the people's preference Trip Hanover
($3) in the $12,000 pacing opener (1:54.4).
After finishing a non-threatening third in the second race and having the gall
to take the third race off, Brennan tired on the lead with the 1-2 choice B B
Happy in the fourth race.
He then spun a consecutive three-bagger in races 5 through 7, with Fitness
Craze ($17.60) in the $12,000, fifth-race trot (1:58.3), odds-on Shake it Up
High ($2.80) in the $15,000, sixth-race pace (1:55.4) and short-priced
Macjestic Toddy N ($3.80) in the $15,000, seventh-race pace (1:55.2).
Brennan cut the mile but settled for second in the eighth race, before airing with
the veteran Report for Duty N ($5) in the $16,000 ninth-race pace (1:53.1). He
was brazen enough to be AWOL in the 10th race before completing his double hat
trick with Glass Prince in the $18,000, 11th-race pace.
A ground-saving drive down the backside resulted in an un-Brennan-like $55.50
win mutuel after a mile in 1:53.1.
His night ended when he was snapped on the money in the 12th race pacing
finale.
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 accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting now
