Eight Is Great For Bartlett
Jason Bartlett, who is in the midst of putting the finishing touches on another Yonkers Raceway driving title, tentacled his way to eight wins Thursday at the half-miler.
Bartlett, who drove in all 12 races, saw the first six of victories come with wagering favourites.
He clicked with Bestnotlie Hanover (Race 1 - 1:54.3), Firetowers Stand (Race 2 – 1:55), Military Stratcom (Race 4 - 1:54.4), Flying Instructor N (Race 8 - 1:54.1), Sea Cruise Hanover (Race 9 - 1:55.2), Stage It Right (Race 10 – 1:56), RD IOU (Race 11 – 1:55.1) and Canaco Star (Race 12 – 1:54.1).
“Just one of those nights when everything went right,” Bartlett said. “The horses were in good spots and right classes. Sometimes, it works out that way.”
It was Bartlett’s second eight-win night locally, the first coming on Opening Night of the 2012 season.
