This Saturday night at Yonkers Raceway, the second leg of the Levy Memorial Pacing Series is being contested. Suprisingly, all but one of last week's entrants return to action this week necessitating once again six divisions of the Levy. With some of last years better horses making their first pari-mutuel starts of the year last week, they should be expected to perform better this week. This should make some of the races more competitive and hopefully lead to better payoffs.
In addition to the Levy, the Sagamore Hill Series continues. In the Sagamore Hill, there is an interesting match up in the first tilt of the evening. Giddy Up Delight and Woodstock Hanover, both winners in the first two legs of the Sagamore Hill meet up. Will this be the chalkiest of exactas or will the two of them get hooked up in a suicide duel?
