After five divisions in last week's opening round of Yonkers Raceway's Blue Chip Matchmaker, another quintet is on tap for Friday night's second leg
.
The groupings of Open Mare pacers - each worth $40,000 - go as races 4,6,7,8 and 9 on the dozen-race dossier. Post time is the customary 7:10 p.m.
The dead-heat (1:52.4) duo of See You at Peelers and Chancey Lady are back it, albeit in different districts.
See You At Peelers, sharing the glory in her seasonal debut, is the morning-line choice in the fourth division, where she drew outside her six rivals. The four-year-old daughter of Bettors Delight went over the $1.5 million career plateau with last week's half-a-loaf.
Chancey Lady drew Post 3 in the third event, with Tim Tetrick back across the river for a Friday night. The seven-year-old daughter of Camluck cut the mile a week ago, then held for a heater while going over $1.9 million in lifetime loot. She landed right next door to Rocklamation (George Brennan, Post 4), who rallied powerfully from last to author a 10-1, first-round upset.
P Note Blue Chip (Sears, Post 7) went up and over in her division a week ago, her fourth win in eight seasonal starts.
Western Silk, arguably with the best Week 1 effort in a wrapped-up, 1:52.3 victory, drew Post 2 in the second division. The five-year-old Western Terror miss was accorded slight early favoritism (by the author) over Anndrovette (Tetrick, post 3). Mystical Diva. another opening-round winner, landed the six-hole with Sears retaining that assignment.
