Published: April 24, 2012 07:54 pm EDT

The pills played out, shall we say, rather interestingly for this Saturday’s $455,000 final of Yonkers Raceway's George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series considering Real Nice and Foiled Again drew Posts 7 and 8, respectively

.

Note that the final is Race 9 on the 12-race card (approximate post 10 p.m.). There is also a $100,000 series consolation (Race 8), and a $50,000 Levy-eligible event (Race 6).

Here’s the complete field in post position order for the rich final:

6. Nob Hill High - Jordan Stratton

Saturday's program will also feature some of the sport’s top distaffers as they battle in the $297,000 final of the Blue Chip Matchmaker (Race 7, approximate post 9:20 p.m.). See You At Peelers, who is 4-for-4 this season, will start from Post 1 for trainer Jimmy Takter.

Here’s the complete field in post position order for the rich final:
