Yonkers, NY — Andrew Adamczyk gathered easy victories in both of the divisions of the North American Amateur Drivers Association Trot at Yonkers Raceway on Thursday night (July 18).

Adamczyk grabbed the point out of post seven with Stick With Me Kid and carved a clip of :29.1, :59.1 and 1:27.4 while gradually drawing away from his competition. He continued to widen his lead spinning for home and crossed the beam nine lengths better than Psalmsfortysixfive (Scott Keppler), who closed ground from second over to take second. Pilsner Frosty (Paul Minore) gave chase from a pocket ride in third.

Nicholas Devita trains Stick With Me Kid, a 10-year-old gelding by Deweycheatumnhowe, for owner J M F Racing. He paid $2.10 to win.

Adamczyk again overcame post seven later in the $13,100 second division when securing a pocket ride for his charge Explosive Ridge and pouncing to a 2:00.2 win.

Explosive Ridge tracked even-money favorite Raceace (Alan Schwartz), who paved a tepid tempo of :29.4, 1:01 and 1:30.2. Raceace moved evenly for home while Adamczyk sprung Explosive Ridge into action and promptly powered past to a 2-3/4 length victory at the end. Fashion Forever (Dawn Anderson) saved ground to take third.

Explosive Ridge, a 10-year-old gelding by Explosive Matter, competes for owner-trainer Adamczyk. Off the second choice in the betting, he paid $9.50 to win.

NAADA action continues at Yonkers Raceway next Thursday (July 25) for the eighth preliminary of the club’s summer series. First-race post time at Yonkers is 7 p.m. (EDT).
