Covered Bridge (American Ideal), coming off a campaign where he earned over $528,000, took the feature, while driver George Brennan made six trips to the winner’s circle on opening night of the 2024 live harness racing season Monday (January 22) at MGM Yonkers Raceway.

Driven by Jordan Stratton in the $32,000 event, Covered Bridge showed speed to overcome the outside post eight and worked his way past Whats Stanley Got A and Joe Bongiorno after the 27 second opening quarter. It was all Covered Bridge from that point as he maintained control through the half of 55.4 and the three-quarters of 1:24.3, then kicked home in 28.2 to widen his margin to 3 1/4 lengths in 1:53 flat at the finish line. Whats Stanley Got A was second-best, followed by Lou’s Sweetrevenge and Yannick Gingras.

COVERED BRIDGE REPLAY

Jeff Gillis trains Covered Bridge, an 8-year-old gelding, for owner Mark Ford. Covered Bridge, who paid $3.40 to win and led a $12.20 exacta and a $60 trifecta, picked up his 45th career victory and has now banked $1,163,855.

As for Brennan, he had a pair of natural hat tricks in his six-bagger. He cleaned up in races four through six, prevailing with Benhope Rulz N [1:54.1] for trainer Darran Cassar and owner Windermere Stable LLC., Genius Man [1:55.2] for owner/trainer Ricky Bucci and Adam Crocker A [1:55] for trainer Scott Di Domenico and owner Dominick Pinto. Brennan then annexed the ninth dash with Pointomygranson [1:54.3] for trainer Deborah Daguet and owner P T Stable, the tenth with Rolling With Sam [1:54.2] for trainer Andrew Adamczyk and owner Morrison Racing Stables and the nightcap with Gothic Rock [1:55.4] for owner/trainer Bucci.

MGM Yonkers Raceway will have programs on Monday through Friday nights now that the meet has gotten underway, with post time at 7 p.m. (EST). Monday’s cards will include a $10,000 guaranteed Pick 5 pool starting in race five.
