Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $23,916

AMERITRIC (2) turned in a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on January 19. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance in a similar race. ALTA CLASSIC A (1) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. HAMMERING HANK (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track nine days ago. THEMASKEDCRUSADR N (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at this track over 1609m.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Southwind Petyr at this track over 1609m in a 30000CLM on January 19 at $5.04. Performed better the start before where he won by 2.25 m (Fr5) at this track (1:54.20) beating Maximus Red in 25000CLM on December 17 at $5.99. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Warrior For Truth at this track over 1609m in a 3-6YO30CLM on December 15 at $2.94. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Southwind Petyr at this track over 1609m in a 30000CLM on January 19 at $3.03. This race appears well within his grasp.
