BY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway

YONKERS, NY, Saturday, August 2, 2014-Pancetta (Jordan Stratton) prevailed from third-over Saturday night, winning Yonkers Raceway's $44,000 Open Handicap Pace.

Sitting chilly early from post position No. 6, Pancetta saw Great Vintage (Larry Stalbaum) take over from pole-sitting Safe Harbor (Dan Dube), Great Vintage then put up intervals of :27.2, :56 and 1:24.


A first-up Shock it To Em (Eric Carlson) dueled the leader into submission early in the lane. At that point, it was a second-up Frankie's Dragon (Eric Goodell) and a third-up Pancetta chiming in. It was the latter whipping the former by a half-length in a season's-best 1:52. Third went to a from-last, 17-10 choice P H Supercam (Jason Bartlett), with Shock it To Em and The Real One (Pat Lachance) rounding out the payees.

For second choice Pancetta, a 5-year-old son of No Pan Intended trained by Jennifer Sabot for California co-owners Richard Morita and David Yamada, he returned $7.10 for his fourth win in 16 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $95, with the triple returning $332.50.

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 available daily.
