Consistent commodities American Lane (three wins in a row) and J K Pure Pearl (two in a row) maintained their Friday night form, winning Yonkers Raceway's pair of $31,000 co-featured events.

American Lane, who has made winning from an assigned eight-hole his life's work, was the last of Cat Manzi's four winners on the 11-race program.

The 7-5 favorite in the Open Handicap Trot, American Lane worked his way around Rushmore Hanover (Brent Holland), making the lead after a tepid 29-second openig quarter-mile. Similar soft fractions (1:00.3, 1:29.1) gave American Lane a length-and-a-quarter lead turning for home.

He easily held off a closing Beach Nut Brand (Jeff Gregory) by a length in 1:58.3. Passito (Jordan Stratton), Oatmeister (Greg Grismore) and Rapid Strategy (Ryan Anderson) completed the cashers.

For American Lane, a 7-year-old Primrose Lane gelding trained by Carl Cito Jr,. for co-owners David Scharf & Jerry Silva, he returned $4.90 for his third victory in five seasonal starts. The exacta paid $22, with the triple paying $212. With the win, American Lane went over the $900,000 career cash plateau.

JK Pure Pearl (Jason Bartlett), assigned post position No. 4 after a week off, rolled from first-over in the ditaff derby. She widened to three lengths at the wire in a season's-best 1:55.3.

Blissful Maddie (Holland) had control through early intervals of :28.0 and 57.4. However, when the eventual winner came calling, "Maddie" caved.

Nip N Attack (Manzi), last week's victress and this week's 17-10 choice, was the best of the rest. Omen Hanover (Eric Abbateillo), Pancleefandarpels (Stephane bouchard) and a returning Ramona Disoma (Stratton) grabbed the minor moolah.

For JK Pure Pearl, a 5-year-old daughter of Bettor's Delight, she returned $8 (second choice) for her second win in five seasonal starts. Linda Toscano trained the winner for co-owners William Jacobowitz, Camelot & 3 Brothers Stables. The exacta paid $33.60, with the triple paying $385.50. (Yonkers Raceway)
