Foiled Again landed post position 3 for Yonkers Raceway's $567,000 final of the George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series Saturday night.
 
Harness racing's richest-ever pacer ($6,130,968) eyes a third Levy title, having won this event consecutively in 2009 and 2010. Foiled Again won his first four prelims legs this time around before finishing a non-factor sixth this past Saturday.
 
The 2014 final offers the highest purse in the history of the event—named for the Hall of Fame founder of Roosevelt Raceway--and serves as the richest North American race of the season to the date.
 
The Levy goes as the 11th of Yonkers' 12 races, with approximate post time of 10:55 p.m.
 
The draw, with declared drivers…1-Sapphire City (Eric Carlson), 2-P H Supercam (Jason Bartlett), 3-Foiled Again (Yannick Gingras), 4-Texican N (Brian Sears), 5-Apprentice Hanover (Jody Jamieson), 6-Bettor's Edge (George Brennan), 7-Dancin' Yankee (Ron Pierce), 8-Mach it So (Tim Tetrick).
 
Note P H Supercam/Mach it So race as a Bamond Racing owned-P J Fraley trained entry, while Foiled Again/Bettor's Edge race as a Ron Burke owned-trained entry, while Special Forces is the also eligible

Another nonbettable race. FA should win easy I'm thinking.

So it's the richest Levy ever but with only six betting interests.

I've said it before - this series is twice as long as it needs to be.

Since it's a slow week, will race wagering for the Levy only be Over or Under 10% ($56,700) of the purse value?

My guess is it's a Saturday night and with the casino filled, I'm going with Under.

Under unless they have show wagering.

Even if they have Show wagering, I'm taking the Under.

Too many betting red or black in the casino to worry about picking up a dime for $2.
