NEW HEAVEN, CAVIART LUCA WIN SATURDAY NIGHT 44G CO-FEATURESNEW HEAVEN, CAVIART LUCA WIN SATURDAY NIGHT 44G CO-FEATURESBY FRANK DRUCKER, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway YONKERS, NY, Saturday, May 4, 2019-New Heaven (Brent Holland, $14.40) and Caviart Luca (George Brennan, $19.40) were the come-from-behind stars Saturday night (May 4th), winning Yonkers Raceway's co-featured $44,000 Open Handicaps. New Heaven, from post position No. 6, disposed of the week's marquee trot, snapping a two-move Eye ofa Tiger A (Jason Bartlett) by a nose in 1:55.1-matching his season's-best. Perlucky (Brennan) finished third, with Fearless Man (Austin Siegelman) and Swansea (Mark MacDonald) settling for the remainder. Fearless Man, a 20-1 proposition, stuffed 8-5 favorite Smalltownthrowdown (Dab Dube) in behind and led though through intervals of :27.4, 57.4 and 1:26.1 before tiring. The quintet of payees were separated by just a length-and-three-quarters. For fourth choice New Heaven, a 5-year-old Yankee Glide gelding owned by Allister Stable and trained by Eric Abbatiello, it was his fifth win in a dozen seasonal starts. The exacta paid $87.50, the triple returned $308 and the superfecta paid $2,070. Caviart Luca, a week after setting cheapy fractions and tiring, used a different tact in the weekly's adult-table pace. From post No. 4, he chased Somewhere in L A (Bartlett) as that one took care of 4-5 fave Mach N Cheese (Jim Marohn Jr.). The people's preference retook from Ideal Jimmy (Holland), then put up subsections of :26.4, :55.1 and 1:23.2. Caviart Luca whipped the number directly behind him, Pacing Major N (Jordan Stratton) by a neck in 1:52. Somewhere in L A, Major Crocker A (Dube) and Ideal Jimmy came away with the minors. For fifth choice Caviart Luca, an 8-year-old Somebeachsomewhere gelding co-owned (as Burke Racing) by (trainer) Ron Burke, Weaver Bruscemi and Phil Collura, it was his fourth win in eight '19 tries. The exacta paid $286.50, the triple returned $1,455 and the superfecta paid $5,678.  News Archives |
