Topville Somebeach kicked off the Monday, June 29 racing program at Yonkers Raceway. The Indiana pacer rallied home in a new career best time of 1:51.2.

 

Topville Somebeach and Yannick Gingras were the quickest out of the gate, getting the first call from the center of the track. Mind Hunter and Scott Zeron held their ground inside and it was evident they were not going to relinquish the lead, so Topville Somebeach slid in behind in the two hole as the field approached the quarter in :27.1. From there, the field remained in single file through the half in :55.3 before the back of the pack began to form an outer flow.

 

Mind Hunter and Topville Somebeach began to pull away from the remainder of the field. In the middle of the final turn, Gingras decided it was time to attack and as soon as he pulled on the right line, Topville Somebeach took off and was around Mind Hunter in just a few strides.

 

At the head of the lane, Topville Somebeach began to sprint away, scoring the win by six lengths with a final quarter in :27.3. Mind Hunter was second over Caviart Sargent and Jim Marohn Jr. finished third.

 

Topville Somebeach was the favorite, paying $3.84 for the win. The six-year-old Rockin Image gelding is owned by Dr. Joshua Tanis of Michigan and trained by Jared Bako. Merle Yoder bred and raised the gelding, who earned his sixth career win of 2026. After only winning one race during his two and three-year-old season, Topville Somebeach now has 24 career wins from 86 career starts. His bankroll exceeds $225,000. He was claimed from the race by Ginko Stable and Latz A Luck Stable.

 

Heat continues to alter racing schedules in the Midwest. Oak Grove has canceled its card for Tuesday, June 30 and the Indiana Sired Fair Circuit racing at the Clinton County Fairgrounds in Frankfort Thursday, July 2 has been moved to 10AM to avoid the hottest part of the day.
