Fearless Man provided Jason Barlett with one of his four victories on the evening at Yonkers Raceway.
Forwardly-placed from assigned—and moist—post position four, Fearless Man made the first lead. He then gave it up to lass Charmed Life (Dan Dube) right at a 27-second opening quarter-mile. The latter continued through subsequent of intervals of :57.3 and 1:26.3, with 32-1 Crazshana (Brent Holland) supplying some unwanted company.
Charmed Life owned a length lead into the lane, but tired and bore out enough to allow Fearless Man to go through the side door. That one whipped a second-up Mostinterestingman (Larry Stalbaum) by a length in 1:56.2. Charmed Life saved the bottom of the ticket, with In Secret (George Brennan) and Crazshana coming away with the minor awards.
For Fearless Man, an 8-year-old Elegant Man gelding trained by Andrew Harris for co-owners Rick Zeron Stables, Murray Greenfield, Noblock and Cool Cat Racing, it was his fourth win in a dozen seasonal starts. The exacta paid $63, with the triple returning $281.
The evening’s $40,000 Open Handicap Pace was won by wagering choice Windsong Leo (Brennan, $5.10) in a down-the-road 1:53.2.
Back to Bartlett, who swept a popular $13.80 early daily double with faves P H Supercam ($4.10) in 1:53.2 and Bell I No ($4.50) in 1:53. He also bookended ended the card with Perfect Bet ($20.80) in the 12th-race finale (1:52.4).
