YONKERS, NY, Saturday, November 9, 2013--Pan from Nantucket (Eric Goodell)
rebounded from a rare poor effort Saturday night, winning Yonkers Raceway's
$37,000 Open Handicap Pace.
Content to watch early from post
position No. 5, Pan from Nantucket was sixth as Fred and Ginger (George
Brennan) worked past Live On (Jordan Stratton) right at the :27.2 opening
quarter-mile. Dream Out Loud N (Brent Holland) just about bolted from a
four-hole, seemingly with some equipment issues.
It was a 55-second half before
slight 2-1 choice Keystone Velocity (Dan Dube) moved from fifth toward a 1:23.1
three-quarters. "Nantucket" was second-over, with China Grill (Pat
Lachance) behind that one. It was Fred and Ginger who owned a
length-and-three-quarter lead in the lane, but Pan from Nantucket was in his
sights.
The latter whipped the former by
three-quarters of a length in a life-best 1:51.3. P H Supercam (Jason
Bartlett), last early from assigned eight-hole, rallied for third (after four
consecutive wins), with Keystone Velocity and China Grill rounding out the
payees.
For Pan from Nantucket, a 5-year-old No Pan Intended gelding owned by
Blindswitch Racing and trained by Jose Godinez, he returned $11.80 (third
choice) for his eighth win in 30 seasonal starts. Last week's fade to fifth
snapped seven consecutive board finishes. The exacta paid $95, with the triple
returning $798.
