YONKERS, NY,
Friday, January 24, 2020—A season-debuting Robyn Camden (Jim Marohn Jr., $11)
proved best Friday night (Jan. 24th), winning Yonkers Raceway’s
$35,000 Filly and Mare Preferred Handicap Pace.
In play from post
position No. 5, Robyn Camden was able to plotz into a early pocket after 11-10
favorite Feelin’ Red Hot (George Brennan) made a nasty break.
From there, Robyn
Camden was stalking Cay’s Blessing (Jason Bartlett) through the latter
fractions of :27.2, :56.4 and 1:25.3.
It was an antsy
two-hole for ‘Robyn,’ who edged out early to take her shot. Robyn Camden did go
by mid-lane, the final margin a half-length in 1:54.2.
Rockin’ the Boys A
(Jordan Stratton) was a three-hole third, with Made of Jewels AS (Eric Goodell)
fourth around the oval. Misbehavers She’s Pukka N (Dan Dube) and the
aforementioned Feelin’ Red Hot were fifth and last among the half-dozen.
For fourth choice Robyn Camden, a now-5-year-old daughter of
Art Professor owned by James O’Sullivan and trained by Rene Allard, she’s off a
14-win, $192,000 season in 2019. The exacta paid $50, with the triple returning
$178.
The Raceway’s mutuel windows open at 11 AM Saturday (Jan. 25th)
for Gulfstream Park’s Pegasus Day program, with first post of 11:30 AM. The $3
million Pegasus World Cup and $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf go as races 11
and 12, respectively.
