Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $29,549

BLACKHAWK ZETTE (3) finished third at Philadelphia two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 14 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SUPER DUPER COOPER (7) has had three runs this campaign and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1609m at Meadowlands, finishing 25 metres away from the winner in sixth. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Finds a nice race and can improve sharply. OPTRIX (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. CRAZYLAND (5) won by 0.9 metres over 1609m at Philadelphia last start at the second run back from a spell. Open to further improvement.
