Yonkers: P H Supercam draws outside post for Levy final
The post position gods gazed at P H Supercam and mocked him.
Defending George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series champ? Don’t care.
He won all four of his series starts this season, leading in prelim points? Big whoop.
New-minted millionaire? You’d better bring more to the table than that.
The overseers of the open draw made sure P H Supercam is going to have it earn it. He drew the eight-hole Saturday night (Apr.25) for Yonkers Raceway’s $529,000 final of the Levy, a tribute to the Hall of Fame founder of Roosevelt Raceway. The 28th edition of the Levy—a Free-For-All event—is the sport’s richest race of the season to date.
It goes as the eighth race of Yonkers’ dozen-race card (first post 7:10 PM, feature approximately 9:50 PM).
