Yonkers, NY — Yonkers Raceway concluded its 2019 calendar Tuesday night (Dec. 17th) with a season-long dead-heat.
George Brennan won four of the closing night’s 11 races—all with wagering favorites—and in doing so caught the idle Jason Bartlett with 427 local wins.

Historians were trying to determine if there had been a leading-driver deadlock previously, but couldn’t swear either way to that oddity.
As for Brennan, he won Tuesday’s $17,000, second-race trot with DW’s NY Yank ($2.70) in 1:58.4, Showmeyourguns ($2.90) in the $14,500, seventh-race trot (1:58.3), Jet Rock ($4.50) in the $12,500, ninth-race pace (1:55.1) and Westchester-debuting Ginger Tree Marty ($3.70) in the $15.750, 10th-race pace (1:55.2).
Brennan’s chance to have the big chair all to himself was thwarted when Lord of Misrule was a never-threatening fourth in the $17,000 pacing finale.
The Raceway’s 2020 season is scheduled to begin Monday night, Jan. 6th, pending approval of the New York State Gaming Commission.
