Yonkers, NY — Three, $32,000 Open Handicaps and some dangling dollars are included in Yonkers Raceway’s weekend.

Friday (Feb. 19) night’s weekly ladies’ pacing feature (sixth race) finds Regil Elektra (Jason Bartlett, post seven) going after a fourth win in six seasonal starts. The 6-year-old daughter of Mach Three is already just one victory shy of 2015’s entire win total.

The returning Sell a Bit N (Jordan Stratton, post eight) was banished to the far outside, despite not racing for money since early December. The now6-year-old Down Under daughter of Julius Caesar ended ’15 with five consecutive Open Handicap wins here.

Bye Bye Michelle (Pat Lachance, post three) also makes her first purse try of 2016, invading after a solid upstate season.

Friday’s Pick-5 begins with a carryover of $1,949.57 (50 cent base wager, races seven through 11).

Saturday (Feb. 20) night’s Open Handicap Trot (sixth race) finds the first three finishers from two weeks ago (last Saturday night was cancelled/weather) in the “persons” of Crazshana (Bartlett, post eight), Money Maven (Brian Sears, post two) and Red Hot Herbie (Dan Dube, post seven).

Home’n Dry (Stratton, post three) has won both of his seasonal starts against restricted foes, while Swishnflick (Mark MacDonald, post four) debuts after a six figure 2015 season.

The week’s marquee pace (eighth race) is led by the last two winners, Phil Your Boots (Tyler Buter, post seven) and Atta Boy Dan (George Brennan, post eight).

Roland N Rock (Dube, post two) has drilled his last two sets of foes, while First Class Horse (Bartlett, post four) and Bad Boy Matt (MacDonald, post six) invade from Alberta and Delaware, respectively.

Post time for both programs is 7:10 p.m.
