Yonkers, NY — Sometimes, these stories just write themselves. Carlos Danger is coming to town for Labor Day and — go figure — he finds himself behind the eight-ball.

Carlos Danger, named after the alter ego of American politician Anthony Weiner, drew the far outside position Monday night (Sept. 5) for Yonkers Raceway’s $15,000 third-race pace.

His name notwithstanding, the four-legged Carlos Danger is a bit camera-shy, as in one win in 20 lifetime starts. That victory was here Independence Night, so perhaps he prefers to work holidays.

Carlos Danger is a 3-year-old statebred colt who has been competing primarily in New York Sire Stakes events. Monday’s opposition is considerably easier, so perhaps the 5-1 morning line proposition can get that elusive second photo to send around to his pals.

Post time for Monday’s first race is the usual 7:10 p.m., with Carlos Danger racing at approximately 7:50 p.m.
