Gingras: "It Is What It Is"
The draw for Yonkers Raceway's $455,000 final of the George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series has taken place. The final will be contested this Saturday, a night in which 6-5 co-favourite Foiled Again will have some work to do
.
Foiled Again, who has been coupled in the wagering with Atochia, has drawn the outer post position, Post 8.
"It is what it is," Foiled Again's pilot, Yannick Gingras, told Yonkers' publicity department. "It's my job to get him the best trip I can."
He went on to say, "(Foiled Again) has come back great, There's a long season on his schedule, and the Levy is an important race. He's had to overcome bad posts and bad trips before, so why wouldn't I be confident?"
