Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $27,894

MIND HUNTER (5) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can give this a mighty shake. ZEBS KRAFTY (1) has been racing very well and kept it up last time out with a strong win at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. EVER HOPING A (2) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1609m. SAMHARA N (3) could only finish sixth over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Peace Out Posse at this track over 1609m in a 30000CLM on May 25 at $11.99. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Churchviewfrankl at this track over 1609m in a NW7956L5 on June 1 at $8.08. Heading the right way and is a leading contender.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 50 m by Manferno (1:52.40) in 40000CLM on June 1 at $89.69. Before that 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 16 m by Rydingtothewire (1:53.20) in NW10000L5 on May 4 at $6.33. This looks too tough.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Thirsty Thursday at this track over 1609m in a NW7671L5 on May 19 at $23.49. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Peace Out Posse at this track over 1609m in a 30000CLM on June 1 at $6.35. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 24 m by Peace Out Posse (1:53.30) in 30000CLM on June 1 at $22.09. Before that 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Captain Fear (1:53.40) in NW5000L5 on May 22 at $25.77. This race looks too tough.
