Yonkers, NY — The fourth leg of the MGM Borgata Pacing Series is set to take place on Monday (April 5) at Yonkers Raceway. Twenty horses dropped in the box have been split into three $40,000 divisions, carded as races four, six and seven.

After taking last night (Monday, March 29) off, round one winner Let It Ride N (post five, Dexter Dunn/Richard “Nifty” Norman) returns and headlines the first flight. Let It Ride N saw his undefeated streak in the United States end on March 22 when he couldn’t get involved from post eight, but has an improved draw this time. He will be up against the likes of This Is The Plan (post four, Yannick Gingras/Ron Burke), who has finished second in all three of his MGM Borgata Pacing Series attempts.

In the second section, Rockapelo (post four, George Brennan/Ron Burke) will look to build on his two straight victories in the series. Western Joe (post seven, Dexter Dunn/Chris Choate) picked up his first win in the event last night and will get another chance at Rockapelo after finishing just a nose behind him when they battled on March 22.

Leonidas A (post four, Austin Siegelman/Sheena McElhiney) also bypassed the third leg, but will be back in action in Monday’s last split. Leonidas A won in the series on both March 15 and March 22, and looks like he’s sure to be a heavy favorite. Lyons Steel (post two, Siegelman also listed for trainer Dennis Watson) has a win and a third-place finish in his two series attempts, and while he’ll likely need a new driver, he certainly has the credentials to threaten.

Additional stakes action at Yonkers Raceway will be held prior to the MGM Borgata Pacing Series. On Wednesday (March 31), there are four $20,000 first-leg divisions of the John Brennan Trotting Series, with early season stars Some Chapter (race four, Dexter Dunn/Anette Lorentzon) and Get Legs (race seven, Andy Miller/Julie Miller) among the entrants.

Then, on Friday (April 2), there are two $35,000 fourth-round splits of the Blue Chip Matchmaker Series for pacing mares. Leg one winner Blue Ivy (post five, Tyler Buter/Todd Buter) heads the first section (race two). In the second flight (race three), Machnhope (post four, Andrew McCarthy/Noel Daley), a two-time victor in the event, returns from a one-week break to battle with Snobbytown (post three, George Brennan/Ron Burke), who scored in Matchmaker action a week ago.

Yonkers races on a Monday-through-Friday schedule with first post at 7:15 p.m.
