Yonkers: Brennan bags seven on Tuesday night

George Brennan doesn’t get his mail delivered to the Westchester winner’s circle. Lately, it’s just seemed that way. This past Friday night (Aug. 23rd), Brennan won half of Yonkers Raceway’s dozen races. That was child’s play. Tuesday night (Aug. 27th), Brennan turned six-for-12 into seven-for-11, as is one more win with one fewer race.

Brennan’s night’s began with a chalky $6.40 early double when Wild West ($2.80) won the $13,500 pacing opener (1:54 1/5) and Bigboy Rosco ($4.50) won the $18,500 second race trot (1:56 1/5).

Wins number three and four were also short wagering reaches as Birch Island Betty ($3.40) took down the $18,500 fourth race pace (1:53 2/5) and JK Heaven Sent ($3.90) won the $18,500 sixth race pace (1:54).

Brennan then fooled the public—twice—winning the $13,500 seventh race pace with Reach For Infinity ($10.60) in 1:54 1/5 and the $24,000 eighth race pace with Badix Hanover ($47) in 1:58 3/5 for the mile and one-sixteenth.

He ended the evening ripping out of the $18,500 11th race pacing pocket with favored Sunken Treasure ($4.60) in 1:53 1/5.

Pick 5 Carryover, Guaranteed Pool Thursday

A friendly reminder that Thursday evening’s (Aug. 29th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $8,292.11 and a $20,000 guaranteed pool. The guarantee is in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.

The Pick 5 at Yonkers is a 50-cent base wager comprising races seven through 11 Thursday night. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday night), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
