'Heaven' Connections Capture Yonkers Open

Published: October 24, 2010 12:37 am EDT

Despite being parked two turns Saturday night, millionaire Psilvuheartbreaker (Cat Manzi) added to his resume and his bank account. He captured the featured $38,000 Open Handicap Pace, matching his season's best mile

.

Leaving from post position No. 4 (in one notch after an inside defection), he waited as Trueys Legacy (Mark Lewis) made the lead after a :27.1 opening quarter-mile. "Truey" released "Heartbreaker" after a :55-second intermission, and the tepid 2-1 choice then took off. He widened in and out of the 1:23.3 three-quarters, owning a 2 1/2-length lead into the lane.

Psilvuheartbreaker then prevailed by a length in 1:51.4. Aliveandwell N (Tyler Buter) rallied into second, with Arts Ragin Jet (Jim Pantaleano), "Truey" and Handsome Prince (Jason Bartlett) completing the cashers.

For Psilvuheartbreaker, a seven-year-old Nobleland Sam gelding from the Rock N Roll Heaven tandem of owner Frank Bellino and trainer Bruce Saunders, he returned $6.40 for his eighth win in 38 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $67.50, with the triple returning $338.50.

Please be advised the entry box for the Messenger Stakes and Lady Maud Pace closes this Tuesday at 4 p.m.
