Yonkers Raceway’s Monday night program saw any number of usual Saturday races ‘carried over’ in deference to the $3.3 million all-stakes card of this past weekend.
Odds-on Always At My place (George Brennan, $3.60) barely lasted, winning the $50,000 Open Handicap Pace. From post position No. 6, he held sway (:27.1, 56.2, 1:23.3, 1:52.2), a desperate nose in front of pocketed Thisjetsabookin (Jason Bartlett), with Techtor Hanover (Scott Zeron) arriving late in that photo.
Theartofconfusion A (Eric Goodell) and Gratian Hanover (Joe Bongiorno) settled for the remainder.
For repeating Always At My Place, a six-year-old Always a Virgin gelding co-owned (as Burke Racing) by (trainer) Ron Burke, Weaver Bruscemi, Larry Karr and Phil Collura, it was his ninth win in 23 seasonal starts.
