On Tuesday afternoon (March 15), the draw took place for Monday's (March 21) opening round of the MGM Borgata Series for free-for-all pacers at Yonkers Raceway. When all was said and done, 38 horses were entered, resulting in five $50,000 divisions (races three through seven) being carded.
Harness racing’s Grand Circuit rolls back into Yonkers Raceway on Friday night as the oval plays host to divisions of the W.N. Reynolds Memorial for three-year-old pacers. Colts and geldings will face off in a pair of splits, worth $23,250 and $23,750, in races four and seven, and the fillies will match up in two flights, with purses of $28,500 and $29,000, in races five and six.
Coalition Hanover (post six, Dexter Dunn/Chris Ryder) won a section of the Pennsylvania Stallion Series most recently at The Meadows in 1:51.3 and will look to keep sharp in the first Reynolds test for the boys. He’ll face off against the likes of last year’s New York Sire Stakes Excelsior A Series and Massachusetts Sire Stakes champion Mullinax (post four, Scott Zeron/Mark Ford), and Whichwaytothebeach (post three, Andrew McCarthy/Brett Pelling), who won a few stakes events as a rookie, including the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes consolation.
