Yonkers, NY — There’s a cool $73,000 up for grabs Tuesday night (April 23) in the final of Yonkers Raceway/Standardbred Owners Association of New York Bonus Trotting Series.

After three preliminary rounds, Swansea emerged as the only perfect participant, winning each as an odds-on favorite. The 4-year-old Swan For All gelding landed post position three in the seventh-race finale, with George Brennan driving for co-owners Triple D Stables & Dana Parham and trainer Scott DiDomenico.

For the season, Swansea has seven wins and three seconds in a dozen starts ($91,375).

Joey Bats (Jason Bartlett, post eight) sandwiched a pair of series wins around a second to Swansea. The 4-year-old Holiday Road gelding is 4-for-7 this season and is trained by Andrew Harris for co-owners Marc Reynolds, Scott Dillon and Michele Nelson.

Rich And Miserable (Dave Miller, post seven) uncorked a solid rally to chase home Joey Bats a week ago after he won his previous start, while Chasin’ Dreams (Jordan Stratton, post six) had a win, a second and a third in his trio of tries.
Omaha Omaha (Tim Tetrick, post one), Henderson Seelster (Mark MacDonald, post two), No Excuses (Scott Zeron, post four) and Whether Or Not Fi (Yannick Gingras, post five) round out the roster.

All entrants, save for Omaha Omaha, are eligible for an SOA-paid $10,000 for winning the final.
A $35,000 series consolation goes as the fourth race.

The series was open to 3-year-olds and their elders who were non-winners of six parimutuel races and/or $100,000 through this past Feb. 1 (winners over $150,000 lifetime through that same date ineligible).

First post for the 10-race card is 6:50 p.m.
