BETTOR MEMORIES WINS SATURDAY NIGHT 35G PREFERRED HANDICAP
February 1, 2020
February 1, 2020-Bettor Memories (Eric Goodell, $21) did it the hard way Saturday night (Feb. 1st), winning Yonkers Raceway's $35,000 Preferred Handicap Pace with a first up foray.
Unhurried from post position No. 4, Bettor Memories saw reformed claimer-and 7-10 favorite-Keystone Phoenix (Dan Dube)) lead through seemingly-soft flat intervals of 27 and 56. Bettor Memories then moved from fifth, making up significant ground into a 27.4 third quarter (1:23.4). Keystone Phoenix was about to wear out his welcome in and out of the final turn.
Bettor Memories went by, closing the sale in 1:52...equal 56-second halves. San Domino A stalked the winner but missed a head, with a trapped Trump Nation extricating himself from the pocket to grab third.
Tremendous Play and a tiring Keystone Phoenix settled for the remainder.
Saturday night's $27,000 trotting feature was a down the the road display by favored Will Take Charge (Stratton, $5.50) in 1:55.2.
