Yonkers Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $24,251

DRINKING PROBLEMS (2) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so he can play a significant role. IDITOROD (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. ZIDANE KEMP (4) is capable of better after finishing well back when resuming over 1609m at Philadelphia seven-and-a-half weeks ago.

Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Iditorod (2:01.30) in W2BNMT4 on January 28 at $1.21. At the run before 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 6 m by Zenmeister (1:54.30) in 5U W2-NW5 on January 16 at $32.30. Makes plenty of appeal.
