YONKERS, NY, Friday, September 2, 2016 – Sometimes, these stories just write themselves…….Carlos Danger is coming to town for Labor Day, and-go figure-he finds himself behind the eight-ball.
'Carlos,' named after the alter ego of, well, you know, drew the far outside position Monday night for Yonkers Raceway's $15,000, third-race pace.
His name notwithstanding, the four-legged Carlos Danger is a bit camera-shy, as in one win in 20 lifetime starts. That victory was here Independence Night (see accompanying photo), so perhaps he prefers to work holidays.
'Carlos' is a 3-year-old statebred colt (no shot he'd be a gelding) who has been competing primarily in New York Sire Stakes event. Monday's opposition is considerably easier, so perhaps the 5-1 morning-line proposition can get that elusive second photo to send around to his, er, pals.
Through the miracle of modern technology, those wishing to see Carlos Danger in all his glory can do so on-line at http://empirecitycasino.com/racing/live-video/.
Post time for Monday's first race is the usual 7:10 PM, with 'Carlos' racing at approximately 7:50 PM.
