Urbana Bayama Off The Schneid

He was due. Hell, he was overdue.

Urbana Bayama (Jordan Stratton, $34.60) snapped a 53-race losing streak Tuesday night (Oct. 24th), surviving a first-up Yonkers Raceway trip to win the sloppy, $8,000, eighth-race pace. Away fourth from post position No. 2, he defeated a pocketed Ransom Demand (Scott Zeron) by a nose in 1:56.2.

Urbana Bayama came in 0-for-24 this season and winless since mid-January of 2016, losing his last 29 starts of last season.

Paul Blumenfeld co-owned and trained Urbana Bayama, a seven-year-old son of Jeremes Jet and Stratton’s fourth of five consecutive wins during the 12-race program.
