Driver Johnny Shoffner enjoyed a successful indoctrination to Yonkers Raceway Wednesday night, winning his local debut with the pacing mare Fabulous Genie. Shoffner escorted the 7-year-old daughter of Washington to a two-length, 1:57.4 win over DVC Uptown Girl (Bruce Aldrich Jr.) in the $5,000, third-race pace. It was also "Genie's" first trip to the big city. "I claimed her ($5,000 base) a couple of months ago at Indiana Downs," Shoffner said. "I figured she was a better half-mile horse, so I took her to Freehold and she was good. She fit this condition and the money's better here, so I came to Yonkers."
Shoffner, 43, is a native of LaPorte, Ind. This was his 80th career driving victory and fifth this season.(Yonkers)
