Yonkers Raceway Race 3

1609M

Prize Money: $20,968

RECORD YEAR (4) Threw down a serious challenge last run at Harrah's Philadelphia. Yannick Gingras is a key booking. Up to these. SMOKIN BY N (2) Was outmatched at the end of the race when 3rd beaten by 6.25m last time here. Displays good closing speed. Austin Siegelman has been successful before. Among better hopes. OSTRO HANOVER (3) Rocketed home when winning last start at Meadowlands and form has been improving over recent runs. Finishes off strongly. Deserves consideration. SHADOW IN RED (6) Made all when winning by a margin of 3.25m last time at the track and getting better in recent performances. Jason Bartlett is highly regarded. Worth strong consideration.
