George Brennan, Yonkers Raceway's leading driver, did nothing to diminish his social standing Tuesday night after winning seven races from 11 drives

on the 12-race card.

After finishing sixth in the opener, Brennan authored his own consecutive Pick-4. He began with the $14,000, second-race trot and odds-on Cherry Tree Luke ($3.60), getting the mile-and-one-sixteenth in 2:05. Brennan then won the $12,000, third-race pace with General Mcardle ($9.90) in an added-distance 2:03 and the $17,000, fourth-race pace with K Slater ($9.50) in 2:02.2 for the extra yardage.

Next for Brennan was prohibitive favourite M D Bee Bee ($2.50) in the $17,000, fifth-race pace (added-distance 2:00.2) before finishing second in the sixth race. He was back at it in the $14,000, seventh-race pace, with public choice Dr Ds Escape ($3.20, added-distance 2:01.1), then had the nerve to sit out the eighth.

Brennan was a going-away, off-the-pace winner with Cosmicpedia ($5.20) in the $14,000, ninth-race pace (2:02), then finished third and sixth, respectively, in races 10 and 11.

He wrapped up the evening in the $20,000, 12th-race pace with Arts Shadow ($2.80), who won his sixth consecutive race while negotiating the added distance in 2:00.4.

During Brennan's sublet of victory lane he was greeted by New York Mets' 1969 World Series hero Ron Swoboda. The right fielder, whose broad-daylight robbery of Brooks Robinson is etched in Gotham lore, was on hand for a Q-and-A autograph session with fans and well as to make a presentation to the winner of Race 4 (his old uniform number).
