A Desperate Man Strives to Win the Borgata Granduuvu GB Slam Race

The undefeated Desperate Man aims to maintain his winning streak in the ongoing MGM Borgata Pacing Series. In the fourth leg, he will compete in the first of three $50,000 splits on Monday night (April 8) at MGM Yonkers Raceway.

Desperate Man will face a formidable lineup of competitors, with five challengers set to take on the race. Desperate Man has been assigned post-five in the third race of the 12-race program. Dunkin, who has emerged victorious in two consecutive races, and Covered Bridge, who secured a division win in the initial round, are both notable contenders in the series.

In the second segment (race four), a contender will achieve their first victory in the 2024 iteration of the MGM Borgata Pacing Series. Joining the lineup are former champions Funatthebeach N (post three) and This Is The Plan (post four), along with the previous winner of the MGM Grand Messenger Stakes, Pleaseletmeknow (post one) and the accomplished Leonidas A (post two), who has been a finalist in the Borgata multiple times.

Coming up in the final race of Monday's flights is Rocknroll Runa A (post-one), who stands out as the top contender with two wins and a third-place finish in the preliminary rounds so far. Last year's winner of the MGM Borgata Pacing Series, Hellabalou, showed significant improvement in leg three, suggesting that the horse is hitting its stride just in time.
