Dewycolorintheline Wins Yonkers Open

Published: September 3, 2017 07:36 pm EDT

Pole-assigned Dewycolorintheline (Mark MacDonald, $15.60) held sway Sunday afternoon (Sept. 3), winning Yonkers Raceway’s $50,000 Open Handicap Trot.

With ‘only’ an eight-horse field, the weekly trotting feature went at the flat mile.

The field left without 7-5 favourite Taco Tuesday (Jordan Stratton), who broke before the start. A handful were put in play early, including P L Hercules (George Brennan), but that one danced himself into the penalty box prior to the first quarter-mile.

When the sorting was completed, Dewycolorintheline had taken over from Money Maven (Brent Holland) soon after a :28.4 opening two furlongs.

It was a 1:00.1 intermission when 96-1 proposition Prime Power N (Steve Smith) gave his backers a thrill with a first-up effort. That one did hang around in and out of a 1:28.3 three-quarters before getting put away.

Dewycolorintheline opened a length and a half in the lane, then held off Money Maven late. The final margin was a half-length in 1:57.2. Sumatra (Eric Goodell), Crazshana (Greg Merton) and Prime Power N rounded out the payees.

For third choice Dewycolorintheline, a seven-year-old, 2013 Yonkers Trot-winning son of Dewycheatumnhowe co-owned by trainer Ray Schnittker and Dewyolorintheline Stable, the win was his fifth in 19 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $121.50, with the triple returning $627.

Sunday’s installment of the ‘New York, New York Double’ offered a winning combination of 3-Rich Daddy (Saratoga’s third race) and 1-Infinisti AS (Yonkers’ fourth race) returning $13.50 for every correct $1 wager. Total pool was $5,274.

Sunday matinees, along with the ‘New York, New York Double,’ return October 29 (post time TBA).
