MGM Borgata Pacing Series action continues Monday

The fourth leg of the MGM Borgata Pacing Series is set to take place on Monday, April 5 at Yonkers Raceway. Twenty horses dropped in the box have been split into three $40,000 divisions, carded as races four, six and seven.

After taking last Monday off, round one winner Let It Ride N (post five, Dexter Dunn) returns and headlines the first flight. Let It Ride N saw his undefeated streak in the United States end on March 22 when he couldn’t get involved from post eight but has an improved draw this time. He will be up against the likes of This Is The Plan (post four, Yannick Gingras), who has finished second in all three of his MGM Borgata Pacing Series attempts.

In the second section, Rockapelo (post four, George Brennan) will look to build on his two straight victories in the series. Western Joe (post seven, Dexter Dunn) picked up his first win in the event last night and will get another chance at Rockapelo after finishing just a nose behind him when they battled on March 22.

Leonidas A (post four, Austin Siegelman) also bypassed the third leg, but will be back in action in Monday’s last split. Leonidas A won in the series on both March 15 and March 22 and looks like he’s sure to be a heavy favorite. Lyons Steel (post two, Corey Callahan) has a win and a third-place finish in his two series attempts, and while he’ll be driven by a new driver, he certainly has the credentials to threaten.
