PAN FROM NANTUCKET WINS SATURDAY 37G OPEN HANDICAP PACEPAN FROM NANTUCKET WINS SATURDAY 37G OPEN HANDICAP PACEBY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway 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. 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 available daily. -30-  (photo-Sean Hamrock)  News Archives |
