When was the last time you saw three horses that are full brothers race during the same program?

The racing oddity will occur on Friday, July 25 at Yonkers Raceway.

In Yonkers’ first $6,700 Excelsior Stakes event (Race 1) – which is a non-wagering race to be contested prior to the pari-mutuel program – BJ Anthony will be making his first start for a purse.

Then, in the $44,000 Open Trot (Race 8 on the betting card), Tober will again take on the best trotters on the grounds and will likely be the favourite off his 1:54.2 victory taken against similar company last week.

In Race 9, a $20,000 conditioned trot, Gaelic And Garlic will start from Post 1.

All three horses are by Credit Winner and out of La Tapitia by Cumin. All were bred by Bernie White of Pine Bush, NY and raised on his Tamarack Manor Farm in the hamlet. White, a longtime owner of Standardbreds, was also the president of the Board of Directors of Historic track for over 12 years.

“It’s not often that anyone sees two full brothers racing on one program, but three, that’s nearly unheard of,” White said.

White and Kristie Leigh Farm own BJ Anthony and Gaelic And Garlic, while Tober is owned by Kristie Leigh Farm and Joe Betro.

All three horses are trained by Ed Hart on Tony Statuto’s Kristie Leigh Training Farm in Goshen, NY. All three horses will be driven by Jason Bartlett.
