Yanks Dugout hits homer in top trot

Yanks Dugout cruised to victory in the $21,000 Winners Over/Select Trot at Dover Downs on Tuesday night.

Yanks Dugout competed against the best harness racing trotters at Yonkers Raceway in his last start. The victory was well worth the trip to Dover Downs. Yanks Dugout and driver Corey Callahan took no prisoners and took command
of the racetrack from the start. They set fractions of :27.1, :56.2 (29.1) and 1:25.1 (28.4).

Remarkable De Vie mounted a charge down the backstretch racing first over. Our White Knight followed second over on the outside, but both stalled in their bids.

Jack Vernon and driver Tim Tetrick followed from pocket position but could not gain on the leader, Yanks Dugout.

Yanks Dugout drew off in the stretch and won by 3 lengths. He trotted the mile in 1:54 and paid $3.40 as the betting choice.
