Monticello, NY — Bob Krivelin scored his second consecutive victory in the North American Amateur Drivers Association’s Trotting Series when he again guided High Pan Tolerance to 2:01.3 victory, this time at Yonkers Raceway, on Thursday (Oct. 25).

Last week the pair were victorious in 2:00.2 at Monticello Raceway.

In a non-wagering event before the first race on the nightly card, Krivelin and High Pan Tolerance were looped on the first turn by Peter Gerry and Drill Sergeant Sam but as the field headed to the quarter pole Krivelin gunned his trotter to the front and once on top they were never seriously challenged.

High Pan Tolerance had two lengths on the field at the third stanza and it was opened to three lengths when the photo-finish camera snapped as they finished ahead of runner-up Winterleebrook and driver George Newell. Third place went to Guiding Light driven by Dave Yarock.

“He’s a Caddy (Cadillac) to drive,” Krivelin said of High Pan Tolerance. “He can leave or race from behind. He’ll do whatever is asked of him and he’s got a pretty good motor, too.”

The two-track NAADA Trotting Series returns to Monticello Raceway next Thursday (Nov. 1). Drivers in the series earn points according to their placings in each preliminary leg. The top eight get a chance to compete in the $12,000 series finale in mid-November.
