Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $38,880

SOHO DOW JONES (4) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 6 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. VENTURESOME ARDEN (2) finished eighth last start, beaten 30 metres at this track over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. THE IDEAL DANCER (8) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1609m at this track. Capable of taking this out. KOPI LUWAK (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
