Antognoni S scored his first win in the event while Take All Comers and Sir Pinocchio doubled up in Friday night's (December 5) trio of $50,000 divisions of the second leg of the MGM Grand Prix Trotting Series at MGM Yonkers Raceway. In the first flight opening-round victor Ari Ferrari J (Jason Bartlett) fired out from the outside post seven but made a break on the first turn. With Ari Ferrari J no longer in contention, that put Antognoni S (Yannick Gingras) on the point, and he would carve out fractions of 28 2/5, 57 1/5 and 1:25 4/5.  He gained separation on the rest of the field going to three-quarters and continued to pour it on through the 28.1 final station en route to a 10 length triumph from a second-over Dribbling Bi (Daniel Dube) in 1:54, with a first-over Amigo Volo (George Brennan) third. Mississippi Storm (Brent Holland) and Security Protected (Jordan Stratton) rounded out the top five. Gingras also co-owns the Ron Burke-trained Antognoni S with partners Burke Racing Stable LLC., Weaver Bruscemi LLC. and FAC Racing LLC. Antognoni S, a 5-year-old Father Patrick gelding bred by Pellpac AB, has a summary of 20-5-6 from 42 starts, has earned $392,861 and paid $2.22 to win as the 1-9 favorite. He led a $9.60 exacta and a $19.80 trifecta. Take All Comers (Todd McCarthy), the defending champion of this series, showed speed from the outside post seven in the second split and was able to work his way past Cecil Hanover (Gingras) beyond the 27 2/5 quarter. Take All Comers remained on the engine through middle-half stations of 56 1/5 and 1:24 4/5 and his 29 4/5 final kicker was enough to hold off a first-over Asteroid (Colin Kelly) by half a length in 1:54 3/5. Southwind Coors (Bartlett), Keg Stand (Matt Kakaley) and Blackhawk Zette (Brennan) were third through fifth. Jim Campbell sent out Take All Comers, a 7-year-old gelded son of Creatine, for owner/breeder Runthetable Stables. Take All Comers has 24 wins, 14 seconds and 11 thirds from 78 starts, has banked $1,189,801 and returned $28.04 to win as a 13-1 offering. He keyed a $124.92 exacta and a $262.86 trifecta. ► Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter Sir Pinocchio (Bartlett) bagged the final section in 1:54 1/5. Sir Pinocchio, who put up a track record mile in winning his grouping in the opening round, had command at the 27 4/5 quarter, 57 1/5 half and 1:25 3/5 three-quarters as even-money second choice Periculum (Scott Zeron) made a first-over move out of third as they raced in the backstretch for the final time.  Unfortunately, just as he did two weeks ago, Periculum went off-stride on the final bend, which allowed Sir Pinocchio to cruise to a 2 1/2 length decision over pocket-sitter Ultion Face S (Tyler Buter), Khaosan Road (Dube) was next, followed by Benny J (Jim Marohn Jr.) and Escaper (Holland). By Met's Hall, the 4-year-old gelding Sir Pinocchio is trained by Ed Hart for owner/breeder Carolyn Atherton. This was his 20th career victory, he has now pocketed $911,934 and paid $3.62 to win as the 4-5 choice. The exacta was $12.90 and the trifecta $41.70.
