Yonkers: Foiled Again tops Levy Memorial eligibles
On Thursday (3/12) Yonkers Raceway announced the list of eligibles for its 2015 George Morton Levy Memorial and Blue Chip Matchmaker pacing series'.
Connections of 62 of the best Free For Allers in training—39 Levy and 23 Matchmaker—have paid to play as both series get underway next weekend (Matchmaker Friday, March 20 and GM Levy Saturday, March 21). As is traditionally the case, any number of career seven-figure performers shall be invading Westchester for these events.
Leading the list for the Levy is, of course, Foiled Again. Harness racing’s richest-ever horse, with career cash approaching $7 million, is to begin his 11-year-old campaign in this series. He won the Levy consecutively in 2008-09.
Defending series champ P H Supercam is also among the eligibles, along with the likes of Apprentice Hanover, Big Boy Dreams, Clear Vision, Dancin Yankee, Lucan Hanover and Warrawee Needy.
Somwherovrarainbow, who won the Matchmaker a season ago, is among the leading lasses this season. Anndrovette, a four-time consecutive (once in a dead-heat) Older Female Pacer of the Year, is also Matchmaker-bound, along with Carolsideal, Sayitall BB and Yagonnakissmeornot.
Both the Levy ($50,000 per race) and Matchmaker ($40,000 per event) offer five preliminary legs, with finals (and consolations) scheduled for Saturday, Apr. 25.
