Entering the G2 MGM Yonkers Trot on June 26, the name Inexpressable was hardly on the tip of the tongues of trotting enthusiasts thinking about major stakes races like the $1,000,000 G1 Hambletonian on August 8 at the Meadowlands. To some extent that has changed after the Lucas Wallin trainee was able to score the upset in impressive fashion over the Yonkers Raceway oval.

Add an extra quarter of a mile to the $250,000 Grade 2 MGM Yonkers Trot, and you have a recipe for a wild finish. That proved to be the case on Friday night (June 26) when Inexpressable and driver Tim Tetrick rallied off of a third-over cover trip and charged by the field to capture the opening leg of Trotting's Triple Crown at MGM Yonkers Raceway.

Fragment, who was last year's New York Sire Stakes, Big Apple and Matron winner, rebounded off a third-place finish in the sire stakes most recently at Buffalo to capture the Grade 2 $200,000 MGM Grand Messenger Stakes final for 3-year-old male pacers on Friday night (June 26) at MGM Yonkers Raceway. The Messenger, which was conducted at the distance of a mile and a quarter this year, is the first leg of the Pacing Triple Crown.

For defending driver of the year Jason Bartlett, being on the road has become more commonplace. The days of just racing at Yonkers and dominating are over as Bartlett spent the first half of the week at Oak Grove competing in the lucrative Kentucky program. He went to Buffalo on Wednesday for New York Sire Stakes and hopes to end his week on a high note, competing in a pair of Triple Crown events at his home track.
MGM Yonkers Raceway, in partnership with the Standardbred Owners Association of New York, is adding a $15,000 guaranteed Pick 5 pool to Friday night's (June 26) program.
