CAROLSIDEAL (5-FOR-5) WINS FRIDAY 35G DISTAFF PACECAROLSIDEAL (5-FOR-5) WINS FRIDAY 35G DISTAFF PACE BY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway YONKERS, NY, Friday, February 27, 2015-Freakishly-formful favorite Carolsideal (Dan Dube, $5.80) continued her roll Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway's $35,000 featured Filly and Mare Open Handicap Pace.  Assigned outside her seven rivals, "Carol" tried to leave, but other inside of her had the same idea. It was Handsoffmycookie (Matt Kakaley) working around Coffee Addict (Eric Goodell) and laying down the law through early intervals of :27.4 and :57.4. Carolsideal, meanwhile, had been taken to the back of the bus. It was Marathon Day (Eric Carlson) moving from fifth, going after the leader in and out of the 1:26.2 three-quarters. Camille (George Brennan) was gapped a bit from second-over, while "Carol" was behind that one. "Cookie" owned a length-and-a-quarter lead into the lane, but was about to give up the ghost. A determined Marathon Day went by, but she powerless to stave off "Carol." The people's preference powered by from sixth off the final turn, whipping Marathon Day by a half-length in 1:55. Camille, Handsoffmycookie and Coffee Addict rounded out the payees. For Carolsideal, a 6-year-old daughter of Western Ideal trained by Rene Allard for co-owners himself (as Allard Racing), Yves Sarazin and Kapildeo Singh, it was her fifth win in as many seasonal starts (and purchase/barn change). The exacta paid $48.60, with the triple returning $355.50. The Raceway's live season continues Saturday night (post time 7:10 PM). After that, it’s Monday (7:10 PM), Tuesday (1 PM), then Thursday through Saturday (all at 7:10 PM) and Sunday, March 8 (post time TBA) Evening simulcasting accompanies all night programs, with afternoon simulcasting available daily (all provided Mother Nature cooperates). -30- (photo bySean Hamrock) (FFI…Frank Drucker, Yonkers Raceway Publicity Director, 914-968-4200) Frank Drucker Director of Publicity 810 Yonkers Avenue Yonkers, NY 10704 Phone: 914 457 2432 E-mail: FDrucker@YonkersRaceway.com  Â Â Â Â News Archives |
