If either of last week’s MGM Yonkers Trot elimination winners, the filly Joviality S or the colt Justice, is going to capture Friday’s $280,904 final at Yonkers Raceway, they will have to overcome not only their rivals, but difficult starting spots.
Joviality S will leave from post seven while Justice starts from the outermost position on the gate, post eight. Horses starting from those spots at Yonkers have won 5.6 percent and 6.2 percent of the races there, respectively, the lowest percentages at the half-mile track. Post six is next at 8.2 percent while the remaining five all hit for at least 13.9 percent or better.
