YONKERS HOSTS TUESDAY NIGHT'S $170,500 NYSS ART WATSON PACE

Two consecutively-contested divisions, at $85,250 each, comprised the event.

Odd-on Zero Tolerance (Dave Miller, $2.40) widened in the first division. From post position No. 4, she crawled to the half 28.2, 59.2, then rebuffed a hard challenge from Meghan Lynn, then finished it off 1:27.1, 1:55.2.

Zero Tolerance whipped a loosely-pocketed So Awesome by 2 1/2 lengths, with DD Delicious third and Crazy Cute fourth.

For Zero Tolerance, a daughter of Heston Blue Chip co-owned by Val D'or Farms & Ted Gewertz and trained by Joe Holloway, it was her first win in two seasonal starts (7-for-13, $485,813 as 2-year-old). The exacta paid $4.80, the triple returned $32.80 and the superfecta paid $177.50.

She was good and strong. I liked the way she raced, Miller said.

The second/final sire stakes event saw a perfectly-towed Brooklyn Lilacs (Bongiorno, $65) edge past the lass who took her into the fray, Hurrikane Norakane (Dan Dube).


For sixth choice Brooklyn Lilacs, a homebred Rock N Roll Heaven miss owned by Crawford Farms and trained by Jennifer Bongiorno, it was her first win in three '19 tries. The exacta paid $466, the triple returned $4,466 and the superfecta paid $7,127.
