PROM THEME has been beaten as the favorite in each of her last two starts. She didn’t run poorly in either of those. Give her a slight edge against a wide-open field. TRUE STARLET hasn’t shown much in either of her two starts since coming back from the layoff, but she is capable of better. GALLOPING DOMINO has won two of her last three in Ohio and owns a win over the track.

HOLY FRAZIER was second best at this same level on the drop in class in his last start. He figures to be running at the end again today and looks best here. ARMY RANGER was a winner last time out and looks like the one to beat with Jimenez back in the irons. GITCHA GOOD didn’t fire last time out, but won two in a row here at Turfway earlier this winter. He moves back down in class and could be dangerous today.

PUPPY ON A STRING ran third at this same level last time out despite having some trouble at the start. A cleaner trip could make her a winner against a well-matched field. SWEETS N TREATS has been second best in each of her last four starts and looks like the one to beat again today. SEATTLE SASS just missed last time out and would be no surprise here.

HOPE IS JUST AHEAD was second best as the favorite in her last starts, but hooks a softer field today and should be able to pick up the win here. HURRICANE SOPHIA shows two third place finishes against similar in her last two starts and is a contender. STORMING CECILIA could be dangerous if she takes to the...

Yonkers Wins Round One of Inaugural Drivers’ Cup

By Frank Drucker, Publicity Director, Empire City @ Yonkers Raceway

YONKERS, NY, Sunday March 20, 2016—It’s official…Jordan Stratton has replaced Jerry Lewis as the new American genius in France.

Stratton led Yonkers Raceway’s quintet of drivers Sunday afternoon to a win over their French counterparts in the opening round of the inaugural Drivers’ Cup.
Round One was contested in two races, each featuring 10 trotters at the mile-and-one-quarter distance and included in the seven events simulcast to a French-hubbed audience.

Scoring was compiled using a 17/12/9/7/6/5/4/3/2/1/ points formula (five points in the event of a scratch, an occurrence which did not come into play here).

Stratton pocked up the gauntlet for the locals, earning a share of a win with 23-1 Lily’s Swan Pond ($15.80 dead-heat win mutuel) in the $18,800 first event and easily winning the second event with Cousin Eddie ($7.40)

The first event (2:31.2) was a Yonkers’ sweep, with captain Jason Bartlett getting the other half of the win pie with 11-10 favorite Hasty Proffitt ($2.80 dead-heat win mutuel). Headsaregonna Turn (Tyler Buter) was an unlucky third.

Stratton was not in a sharing mood in the second race (2:29.4) of the competition, isolated for much of the race with “Eddie” as the pair won by 7¼ lengths. Paris Princess N (Pierre Levesque) was a best-of-the-rest second, with Massive Talent (Dan Dube) third.

The final team totals were 85 points for Yonkers (45 + 40), and 47 for France (26 + 21).

“It was just an honor for me to be asked to participate,” Stratton said. The first trotter (Lily’s Swan Pond) hung a bit late, but at least was able to get there for the dead-heat. The second one (Cousin Eddie) is just very sharp right now.

“The French...
