Yonkers Raceway Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $38,889

BETTER B BOLD (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to take this out. SON OF THE SHARK A (7) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. TH COLBY (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track eight days ago. DUNKIN (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Capt Karma (1:52.20) in NW15000L5 on September 7 at $45.77. Two runs back won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:54.00) beating Odds On No Limit in NW10811L5 on September 1 at $4.71. Unlikely to make an impression.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back posted a big 5 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:53.30) beating Caviart Lotus in NW10831L5 on August 22 at $3.72. Last start just missed, game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Aye Aye Captain (1:51.00) in NW15000L5 on September 1 at $3.42. Has the ability to play a major role.
