Canadian-owned Rock To Glory, driven by Eric Goodell, a bridesmaid in his last couple of starts, made it to the altar Saturday night, winning Yonkers Raceway's $33,000 Open Handicap Pace

.

Leaving from post position No. 5, was away fourth as Foreign Officer (Jordan Stratton) led the octet through intervals of :27.4 and :56.2. Code Word (Tyler Buter), as the 19-10 choice, moved from third going toward the 1:24.1 three-quarters. Rock To Glory was behind that one, though gapping just a bit.

Meanwhile, Foreign Officer tried to finish it off, taking a length and a half lead into the lane. However, the wheels began to wobble late. Code Word was getting to Foreign Officer, but Rock To Glory was getting the memo and getting to Code Word.

Rock To Glory, who owns the season's fastest local mile (1:51.3), was a half-length the best this night in 1:52.3. Code Word snapped second over Foreign Officer, with a last-early Summer Camp (Jason Bartlett) and Wayne The Lefty (Larry Stalbaum) completing the cashers.

Rock To Glory, a four-year-old Rocknroll Hanover gelding owed by Mac Nichol of Burlington, Ont. and trained by Casie Coleman, returned $6.50 (second choice) for his second win in eight seasonal starts. The exacta paid $22, with the triple returning $108.50.
