Yonkers Raceway Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $27,907

SADDLE UP (3) is in outstanding form with wins at his last three starts, most recently when he was too good over this track and distance three weeks ago. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up so he can add another win to the sequence. LYONS BENJAMIN (5) recent form has been very consistent. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 5 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. MAXIMUS RED (1) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. BILL HALEY (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
