Following pacesetter Wild And Crazy Guy from the start, Voyage To Paris made the most of his two-hole trip in capturing the $30,000 harness racing feature trot at Yonkers Raceway Wednesday.
The 5th race for $75,000 claimers saw Wild And Crazy Guy with Jason Bartlett first out of the gate from post six. Voyage To Paris and driver Joe Bongiorno grabbed the two-hole trip as they passed the opening quarter mile in :28.3.
As they came towards the half mile, Lucky Matter (Matt Kakaley) came first-over, giving cover to Manhattan No Ice (Austin Siegelman) past the half in :58.3 and then through the three-quarters in 1:27.
At the top of the stretch, Wild And Crazy Guy was sitting pretty until Bongiorno came after them with Voyage To Paris and they took off, winning with ease by two lengths in 1:57. Wild And Crazy Guy held for second with Lucky Matter third.
