Yonkers: Handle eclipses million-dollar mark on Monday
The first Monday of the month (Feb. 3rd) resulted in a Yonkers Raceway single-season high handle.
The dozen-race card attracted $1,025,349 through the windows, electronic or otherwise.
Needless to say, more than a few of those dollars found their way to 1-20 favorite Globaldomination N (Jordan Stratton, $2.10), who won the $18,000, third-race pace in a life-best 1:53.
The 5-year-old Down Under Bettor’s Delight gelding, owned by Von Knoblauch Stable and trained by Peter Tritton, has three wins and two seconds in five seasonal starts ($33,500).
Beginning next Monday (Feb. 10th), Yonkers shall have a $7,500 guarantee included in its Monday and Tuesday Pick 5 (50-cent base wager, races 5 through 9).
