Art's Ragin Jet (Jeff Gregory) stuck his tongue out at just the right time, getting a Yonkers Raceway decision over Psilvuheartbreaker (Jim Meittinis) in Saturday night's $40,000 Open Handicap Pace. Art's Ragin Jet, leaving from post position No. 6, had to the chase "Heartbreaker" as the tepid 2-1 choice eschewed an early seat behind Semalu Express (Pat Lachance). Psilvuheartbreaker led through weigh stations of :27.3, :57.1 and 1:25.3, but could not dispose of his first-over challenger in a solid final quarter. Art's Ragin Jet earned the narrowest of "sloppy" victories, gutting it out in 1:53.1. Semalue Express was third, beaten three-quarters of a length, with Up Front Peyton (Stephane Bouchard) and Saratoga John (Steve Smith) grabbing the small change. For Art's Ragin Jet, a 5-year-old Jet Laag gelding owned and trained by Shaun MacDonald, he returned $7.70 (second choice) for his 13th win in 26 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $27, with the triple returnig $81.50. (Yonkers)
