Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $28,090

EXQUISITE TASTE (5) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Meets a similar line up and she is capable of a return to the winner's list. KAYS IN CHARGE (1) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 10 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. GREEN MEL (7) has a strong record here so must be a chance on the back of a good win over 1609m at this track last time. KARINCHAK (3) last appeared when third over 1609m at Hoosier Park three-and-a-half months ago. Must be respected.
