Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $24,502

HAMMERING HANK (6) made it two wins from his last three runs a week ago, getting home by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Leading hope in a similar assignment. HARD TO CATCH (1) finished fifth at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 12 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope if things go his way. AMERITRIC (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago. ALWAYSCUTTINSCHOOL (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1609m.
