Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $76,336

COACHES CORNER (5) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 19 metres in a dominant display. Won't find this any harder and he can score again. CAPTAIN ALBANO (2) produced a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on November 24. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. TIP TOP CAT (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. WHATS STANLEY GOT A (4) is worth some thought based on his third over 1609m at this track two runs ago.
