Statebreds�late-closer legion�invaded Yonkers Raceway Tuesday night for the $50,500 On The Road Again Pace. Four divisions of 3-year-old colts and geldings were carded, with Mr. Artline winning for Mr. Hartline in the evening's quickest of the quartet.

Jordan Stratton drove the son of Art Major for Anatolia Racing Stable and trainer Jake Hartline in the $12,700 final event. The winner, now two-for-10 this season, sat pocketed to 3-10 favorite Dali Hanover (Stephane Bouchard), before winning by 3 1/2 lengths in a life-best 1:56.4.

LP's Magic (Jim Marohn Jr.) was second, with Seafoodpaysthebills (Jeff Gregory) third. Dali Hanover faded to fourth.

Seattle Moon (Jason Bartlett) as the odds-on choice, survived an early break to win the third $12,600 grouping, holding off Touch Of The Past (Stratton) by a head in 1:58.2. Seattle Moon returned $3.80 for his second victory in a dozen '09 tries. John Stark Jr. trains the son of Riverboat King for Winbak Farm.
