After three preliminary rounds and sufficient whittling, the field is set for Tuesday night’s (Apr. 24th) $85,000 final of the Bonus Trotting Series.
The event, co-sponsored by Yonkers Raceway and the Standardbred Owners Association of the New York, goes as the ninth of 11 races. Post time is the usual 6:50 PM.
Seasoned Saint (Jim Marohn Jr., post 2) was the only perfect participant, winning all three of his series starts.
The 5-year-old Dewycheatumnhowe gelding, co-owned by (trainer) Rene Allard, Bruce Soulsby and Alan Weisenberg, has won six of his 10 seasonal starts and half of his 32 career efforts.
Allard also co-owns (with Blue Chip Bloodstock and John Lengacher) and trains the lone lass, Romancing Rachel (Mark MacDonald, post 3).
The 4-year-old daughter of Muscle Hill won her first two starts before a tiring pocket third in the final leg. ‘Rachel’ has hit the board in nine of her 11 ’18 tries.
Due to overlapping ownership, Optimist Blue Chip (Andy Miller, post 4) completes this three-pronged posse. The 4-year-old Dewycheatumnhowe gelding, owned by Blue Chip Bloodstock and trained by Julie Miller, has gone 1-2-3 in his series starts.
Bluebird Jesse (George Brennan, post 1) was another prelim ‘two-timer,’ the wins sandwiching a race mired by incessant road trouble.
The 4-year-old Jailhouse Jesse gelding is trained by Scott DiDomenico co for-owners Brian Carsey, John McGill and Adam Friedland.
Ei Ei O (Scott Zeron, post 8) also won twice before being victimized by an interference break a week ago. The 4-year-old son of pacing stallion Cam’s Rocket is owned and trained by Arlene Cameron.

After finishing a respectable fifth in his seasonal bow in the Open here last week, Cherokee Hiflyzane took full advantage of a drop in class to score his first win of 2018 in the $14,000 conditioned pacing feature at Plainridge Park on Monday afternoon (April 23).
He’s Marvelous (Nick Graffam) left from the rail at 50-1 and played give-and-go with Jackson’s Image (Jim Hardy) to the quarter in a swift :26.3. From there Graffam continued to drive aggressively to the half in :55.1 and three-quarters in 1:22.3, fending off a challenge from Windsong Jack (Greg Merton) for most of that time.
As the race rounded the final turn, Cherokee Hiflyzane (Michael Stevenson), who had been sitting on Windsong Jack’s back since the half, tipped three-deep just as they approached the top of the stretch and started a furious rush down the center of the track passing Windsong Jack and He’s Marvelous en route to a two-length victory in 1:52.
Cherokee Hiflyzane ($5.60) posted his seasonal best and 20th career win for owners Barrie Farrar and Roger Farrar II of Wrentham, Massachusetts.
In the co-featured $10,000 mid-level conditioned pacing event, Commondiscourtesy (Drew Campbell) found himself parked out to the quarter in :26.1 by Mysharona Bluechip (Pat Curtain) before clearing and leading the rest of the mile before holding off a late challenge from Mysharona Bluechip once again and a late-closing Sinners Prayer (DT Sumner) to win by a neck in 1:52.3.
