A Yonkers’ million-dollar Monday
February 4, 2020,Yonkers, NY — The first Monday of the month (Feb. 3) 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 Vonknoblauch Stable and trained by Peter Tritton, has three wins and two seconds in five seasonal starts ($33,500).
Beginning next Monday (Feb. 10), Yonkers shall have a $7,500 guarantee included in its Monday and Tuesday Pick-5 (50-cent base wager, races five through nine).
