Yonkers Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $32,810

AYE AYE CAPTAIN N (2) finished eighth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of another bold performance. SON OF THE SHARK A (3) was out of the money two runs back at this track then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 5 metres over 1609m at the same circuit. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. HIMSELF N (1) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track eight days ago. CAPTAIN FEAR (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on August 22.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 m by Mufferaw Joe (1:54.00) in NW7500L5 on August 24 at $25.60. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourth behind Federer at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L5 on August 10 at $20.33. This is likely to prove too tough.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Hemsworth at this track over 1609m in a NW11501L5 on August 17 at $20.65. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Backstreet Shadow at this track over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on August 24 at $15.16. Strong winning hope.
