Stephane Bouchard had such a Yonkers Raceway hot hand Monday night, he crossed the wire first five times, but won six races.
After chasing home an odds-on winner in the opener, Bouchard won the second race with Quantum King Crab in 2:01. He then won third race with Kronos Hanover in 1:57.
His 4-5 charge tired in the lane in the fourth race before he lit up the tote board in the fifth race. Colonial Mansion had hit the wire second, but the "winner" misbehaved. That allowed Bouchard to get his picture taken at a very un-Bouchard-like 29-1.
He won the ninth race with the pocket-sitter, In the Mix, in 1:54.1 before taking the featured tenth race with a romping B B Torio in 1:57.2. His final also took the eleventh race with favoured Winbak The Bet in 1:55.1.
