Big Mix-Up At Yonkers

Published: January 13, 2009 04:20 pm EST

According to a report on lohud.com, on Friday, January 9 at Yonkers Raceway two horses conditioned by the same trainer apparently got mixed up

and the wrong horse raced in the seventh race of the live card.

The report states that, at the time, everyone believed it was Longshot Linda that contested the eighth race; although prior to the ninth race when Saymynamesaymyname was supposed to compete, it was discovered that Longshot Linda was being prepared instead.

"To my knowledge, we don't believe there was any nefarious activity," raceway spokesman Frank Drucker was quoted as saying. "No one was trying to pull a fast one over us."

Both horses are trained by Jacob Hartline.

The New York State Racing and Wagering Board is looking into the incident.
