While the top four finishers in each of the elims were supposed to advance to the final to comprise a field of eight, a dead heat for fourth in one of the splits threw a monkey wrench into the scenario. With no tie-breaker rule in the conditions, it was decided to have the two trotters that dead heated both start in the final, thus the field of nine. In the open draw for the final, Top Flight Angel (trained by Julie Miller) drew post 9, while elim winners Guardian Angel AS and Yes Mickey drew posts 4 and 6, respectively. Although Devious Man finished second as the bettors’ choice to Yes Mickey in that Yonkers Trot elim, by virtue of the colt drawing post 1 he is likely to be sent off the betting favorite in the final. That was the same situation in the recent Hambleton- ian, when Devious Man finished second in his elimination as

HarnessRacing Weekend Preview, 7 of 18 September 1, 2017 www.harnessracing.com Will Lady Luck Shine On Guardian Angel AS In Yonkers Trot? Sometimes it’s not a matter of having good racing luck, but avoiding bad luck. Trainer Anette Lorentzon knows that all too well. Lorentzon entered her 3-year-old trotter Guardian Angel AS in the Hambletonian hoping for a little good luck. Unfor- tunately, the colt drew post 9 in his elimination, certainly a stroke of bad luck when your horse really needs an inside position, and then in the Hambo final he raced first-over and was poised to possibly finish fourth or fifth when he went offstride. The judges ruled the sulky of What The Hill hit the leg of Guardian Angel AS and caused him to go off- stride. What The Hill was disqualified, but the placings didn’t move Guardian Angel AS up enough for a purse check. Guardian Angel AS is now trying for a big finish in a sec- ond Triple Crown race, Saturday’s $500,000 Yonkers Trot, the 63rd edition of the classic. Guardian Angel AS won his Yonkers Trot elimination last Saturday night in 1:56.2 with Jason Bartlett, and he will start from post 4 in the final, with serious threats inside (Devious Man) and outside (Yes Mickey). Yes Mickey won the second of the Yonkers Trot elims in 1:56.1 by a neck over Devious Man. “I like my chances with him,” Bartlett told Yonkers publicity director Frank Drucker earlier this week. “I can’t complain about the draw. I’m in between Devious Man and Yes Mickey.” Although Guardian Angel AS won his Yonkers Trot elimina- tion in 1:56.2, Lorentzon believes it will take some good luck—or at least no bad luck—to win. “I would like post 1 on that track instead of the four, but it could be worse,” she shared. “He’s definitely one of them that can win the race. He’s came out of the elimination good. I hope we have some luck this time.” Since Bartlett is the leading driver at Yonkers and also knows her horse, Lorentzon said she won’t have any in- structions to offer. “It’s all up to Jason,” she said. Bartlett is still in search of his first Yonkers Trot victory, a race he particularly wants to win. “It’s the signature race and my home track and it’s eluded me,” admitted Bartlett. “It’s an important race for me per- sonally and I want to win it. I’ve had three good chances to win it, but none worked out.” If Guardian Angel AS could win the Yonkers Trot, he would duplicate the feat accomplished by his sire, Archangel, in 2012. Googoo Gaagaa, the pacing-sired trotting sensation, was the betting favorite but he broke stride at the start in the five-horse race. Archangel won in 1:54.1 over Stormin Normand with Hambletonian champ Market Share third. Guardian Angel AS is from Archangel’s first crop, a product of the only year Archangel stood at stud in New York. With one leg of the New York Sires Stakes for 3-year-old trotting colts remaining (Sept. 23 at Yonkers), Guardian Angel AS ranks third in the point standings.—By Kathy Parker HarnessRacing Weekend Preview, 8 of 18 September 1, 2017 www.harnessracing.com Burke Looking To Rock $615,000 CANADIAN PACING DERBY In Canadian Pacing Derby Mohawk Racetrack, Saturday, Sept. 2, Race 7, Post Time: 9:30 pm Trainer Ron Burke has two Canadian Pacing Derby victo- Post—Horse Driver/Trainer Odds ries on his resume, the first coming in 2010 with Won The 1—McWicked D.
