Judge Joe wins Yonkers Trot August 30th, 2009
Judge Joe beat Neighsay Hanover by 3 3/4 lengths to win the $750,774 Yonkers Trot on Saturday night.
Judge Joe went wire-to-wire for the win in 1:56 1/5 and paid $3.40. Ron Pierce guided the colt quickly from the rail and shrugged off all his challengers for the easy win.
There wont be a triple crown winner as Muscle Hill, who won the Hambletonian, bypassed the Yonkers Trot to easily capture the $200,000 American National at Balmoral Park in Illinois tonight.
Windsong Soprano took the $367,985 Hudson Filly Trot upseting favorite Yursa Hanover, who broke stride on the first turn.
