Yonkers Raceway Race 5

1609M

Prize Money: $20,968

LYONS SHELLBY (1) Gave them all something to chase to win by 1.25m last start at Freehold Raceway and has drawn to do little work. Has plenty of early speed. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. SALE EL SOL (3) Was agonizingly close last run at Meadowlands. Can go through the gears. Will give a big sight. ITTY BITTY (4) Moved ahead of some to finish 4th last start at Meadowlands. Jason Bartlett takes over today. Expected to be flashing home. Strong chance. RAISE THE ANTE (8) Finished 8th last start at Meadowlands. Should race on the speed. Could win with the right run.

Solid run when a close second behind Party Cruiser at Philadelphia over 1609m in a FMNW5000L5 on December 27 at $1.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Ideal Skies at Meadowlands over 1609m in a FM20000CL on January 10 at $4.90. Rates highly.
