Yonkers, NY — Three $8,000 fourth-leg divisions of the North American Amateur Drivers Association trotting series went to post on Thursday night (Nov. 12) at Yonkers Raceway, with Brett Beckwith, Paul Minore and Dawn Anderson winning their respective splits.

Seventeen-year-old Brett Beckwith marked his second consecutive victory with DW’s Revenge.

DW’s Revenge enjoyed a covered two-hole journey behind Alan Schwartz and Ladys Big Stormont, only to rally in the deep stretch for a one-length victory in 2:00. Bob Hechkoff’s Boots N Chains finished third, 2-1/4 lengths farther back.

For the talented youngster, it was his sixth lifetime victory and second in three seasonal starts. DW’s Revenge is owned and trained by Melissa Beckwith.

Paul Minore earned his fourth driving victory of the season and 111th of his illustrious career, doing so with his old war horse Wygant Prince.

Minore sent him to the lead from the four-hole, and they had command on the first turn before leading to the quarter pole in :29.3. Coming to the half, Nicole DiCostanzo moved Jacks To Open out to challenge. The two leaders were side by side until the final turn, where Wygant Prince trotted free and coasted home an easy two-length winner in a 2:02.1 clocking. Mike Polansky hustled Noble Warrawee home second best while Jacks To Open hung on for third.

The final NAADA split saw Dawn Anderson send Take A Wish to the lead in a :28.3 first panel. Once they were in control, challenges were few and far between. They were two lengths to the good by the half in :59.1, and they had four lengths on the competition by the three quarters in 1:28.2. In the lane, they kept pouring it on, finishing in 1:58.3, 8-1/2 lengths ahead of Pearly Allen and Mugshot Jess. Third place went to Charley Ona Harley, driven by Besim Odza.
