TAKE IT BACK TERRY WINS SATURDAY 44G OPEN PACETAKE IT BACK TERRY WINS SATURDAY 44G OPEN PACEBY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway YONKERS, NY, Saturday, September 6, 2014-Take it Back Terry (George Brennan) was first home from second-up Saturday night, winning Yonkers Raceway's $44,000 Open Pace.  Reserved early from post position No. 5, Take it Back Terry saw tepid 2-1 choice Rampage Jackson (Jason Bartlett) stuff Dream Out Loud N (Eric Goodell) and Sapphire City (Dan Dube) in behind. A spiffy :26.4 opening quarter-mile was aided by the leader speeding up when Sapphire City thought about moving from third before relenting. A cheapy :29.1 second quarter (56-second half) figured to help "Jackson's" cause as Casimir Jitterbug (Brian Sears) came to challenge. Take it Back Terry was content to hitch along, but Rampage Jackson continued to front the fray in and out of a 1:24.3 three-quarters. However, he gave was grudgingly in and out of the final, as Casimir Jitterbug was about to win the battle, but lose the war. Take it Back Terry picked that one by a half-length in 1:53. Rampage Jackson tied to third--beaten a length--with Big N Bad (Jordan Stratton) and Dream Out Loud N completing the cashers. For fifth choice "Terry," a 5-year-old Western Terror gelding co-owned (as Burke Racing) by (trainer) Ron Burke, Weaver Bruscemi, Larry Karr and Phil Collura, he returned $17.60 for his seventh win in 20 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $82, with the triple returning $237.50. 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. -30- (photo-Mike Lizzi) (FFI…Frank Drucker, Yonkers Raceway Publicity Director, 914-968-4200)  Â Â Â Â News Archives |
