Capela (Scott Zeron, post 7), the only perfect (3-for-3) prelim lass, didn't get a whole lot of help with the open draw.

Little Miss Sporty (Brian Sears, post 3) won twice in her series legs, while Heavenly Hill (Jordan Stratton, post 8) rolled to a convincing win in her last chance to impress the judges. Brown Brinny (Jason Bartlett, post 1), I'm in Luv (Matt Kakaley, post 2), Rolling Going Gone (Brent Holland, post 4), Special Package (Dan Dube, post 5) and Bin in Heaven (George Brennan, post 6) round out the roster. Tuesday afternoon, it's the finale (sixth race) of Yonkers' annual tribute to Teddy Roosevelt, the Sagamore Hill. Rodeo Romeo (Sears, post 2) and Don'tcallmefrancis (Bartlett, post 6) each spoke softly and carried a big stick, as in a pair of wins and a second in prelim competition The former-Sears' choice of the two-is a 4-year-old son of Rocknroll Hanover trained by Chris Ryder for co-owners Oompa's Farm, Michael Day and Robert Mondillo, while the latter is a 3-year-old Rocknroll Hanover gelding owned by Enzed Racing and trained by Nifty Norman.
