Foiled Again landed post position 3 for Yonkers Raceway's $567,000 final of the George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series Saturday night.

Cammikey completed his sweep of the Visible Gold Pace for 3-year-old colts and geldings with an impressive front-end victory in Tuesday's $34,250 championship leg at The Meadows.

Cammikey fired out for the lead from post 7 but had to blaze a :26.4 quarter — on a "good” surface — to get there. Even then, the son of Somebeachsomewhere and 2004 Breeders Crown winner Always Cam wouldn't hear of a breather.

"I knew they would try to sting me a little going to the quarter, but I wanted to get him backed up better than that,” said winning driver Brian Zendt. "He just... more...

Ray Hall completed his sweep of the Bobby Weiss series at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs for 3- and 4-year-old colts, stallions, and geldings on the trot by dominating in the $30,000 final on Tuesday night.

Leaving from post position four in a field of eight as a 1-5 favorite, Ray Hall (Justice Hall-Comebyrail), a 4-year-old gelding trained by Mark Harder who had won all four preliminary legs of the Weiss, made the lead entering the first turn. From there, driver Tim Tetrick expertly rated the speed. Ray Hall trotted away from his foes in the stretch to win by 2 ¾ lengths in 1:53:2, which set a new career mark. Sarcastic Man finished second... more...

Matt Zuccarello—yes, Zuccarello-- reined the winner of Monticello Raceway's 16th annual Passover Pace on Tuesday afternoon. He hustled his charge Winsmith Molly up to collar the pacesetter--Sam's Fortune and driver Alan Charles--in the final strides and walked away with the box of matzohs.

Zuccarello's mother, the former (Arlene Rosenberg) is Jewish, and because of that Matt was eligible to compete in the race for drivers of Jewish heritage. And for Zuccarello, who's refers to himself as "Pizza- Bagel,”this was his first drive in the event and he made it memorable.

An amateur driver with a provisional license, Zuccarella has recently been... more...

Driver Andy Miller, seriously injured in an April 15 race accident at Yonkers Raceway, told harnessracing.com Tuesday morning that despite the prognosis of six months of recovery time, "The upside of it is that I am going to be back. This is not a career-ending injury.”

Miller, 45, broke a pair of lumbar vertebrae in his back after Marmara Denzi, the horse he was driving in the first race that night, hooked wheels with the fallen George Brennan-driven In The Clear. While Brennan was unhurt, Miller was catapulted from the sulky.

"I hooked his wheel and it launched... more...
