Yonkers Raceway recognized the hard-knocking pacing mare Regil Elektra, an Ontario Sires Stakes graduate, on Friday night (February 23) for achieving millionaire status.
Bred by Bruce Wagg of Uxbridge, Ont., the eight-year-old daughter of Mach Three passed the $1 million mark in earnings while winning for the 44th time in her career one week ago on February 16 with Jason Bartlett aboard.
Tonight in career start No. 149, just-over-even-money favourite Regil Elektra (Jordan Stratton) led early in the $25,000 finale, before yielding to eventual winner Mach It A Par (Bartlett).
Owned by Fred Monteleone Stable and trained by Keith Armer, Regil Elektra has a record of 44 wins, 27 seconds and 15 third-place finishes.
