Electrofire scored a popular win in Saturday's Yonkers feature
Starting inside his six rivals, Electrofire retook from the six wins-in-a-row Proven Lover (Jason Bartlett), after a foggy, :28 opening quarter-mile. The reformed claimer then rolled through a :55.4 intermission and 1:23.4 three-quarters, losing his pocket pursuer and any semblance of an outer flow.

Electrofire had 2-½ lengths turning for home and was never threatened. He was two lengths to the good at the wire, which he found in 1:52.3. Second went to Saint William A (Larry Stalbaum), photoing over Here We Go Again (George Brennan). Fitz's Z Tam, driven by Matt Kakaley, who has seven winners in the first two racing nights, and the newly minted millionaire River Shark (Mark MacDonald) rounded out the payees.

Electrofire, a 6-year-old son of Electric Stena co-owned by West Wins Stable and Dave Miller and trained by Casie Coleman, returned $4.20 for his first win in a couple of 2013 starts. The exacta paid $46.20, with the triple returning $172.00.
