Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $21,374

LOU'S BEACH (7) had been racing in great heart then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Must overcome a very wide draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. LUXURY VIRGIN (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. KOURAGEOUS KEY (8) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.
