Yonkers, NY — Jack’s Legend N posted a 14-1 upset in Monday night’s (Oct. 11) featured $48,000 Open Handicap Pace at Yonkers Raceway.

Starting from the outside post seven and driven by Matt Kakaley, Jack’s Legend N floated away from the gate and was able to find a seat in third while None Bettor A and Mark MacDonald blasted to the top from post three and cut out opening-half fractions of :26.4 and :55.2. Late on the third turn, Kakaley gave Jack’s Legend N his first-over marching orders, and he was able to get into second before None Bettor A hit three-quarters in 1:22.4.

Jack’s Legend N remained on the rim around the last turn and into the lane, but in mid-stretch he was able to forge his way by None Bettor A. Jack’s Legend N’s work wasn’t done, though, as 4-5 favorite Splash Brother, piloted by Tyler Buter, was closing in. However, Jack’s Legend N dug in and fought off Splash Brother by a head in a 1:50.3 mile. Dragon Said, steered by Joe Bongiorno, was the third-place finisher.

Jack’s Legend N posted his 26th career victory, and he has now earned $635,776. He paid $30.00 to win and was atop a $166.00 exacta and a $521.00 trifecta.
