With many sire stakes programs yet to commence and little on the Grand Circuit schedule for three-year-old pacers during the month of May, Yonkers Raceway attracted four divisions of the W.N. Reynolds Series for sophomores on the pace.
Carded as races four through seven on the Friday 10-race program, the Reynolds are split evenly, with two races for fillies and a pair for colts and geldings.
There is no shortage of talent among the 30 entered, but the two splits for the boys came up especially deep. Perhaps at the top of the heap off 2020 performance is American Courage. The Travis Alexander trainee won seven of eight starts in his rookie year of racing and returns to the races off a strong second-place finish in a qualifier at The Downs at Pocono. He sat third in that mile, before moving into second on the final turn and sprinting home in :27.1.
