Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $46,512

AYE AYE CAPTAIN (1) won at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to return to winning ways. STREET HAWK (3) produced another fine effort last start when he scored over 1609m at this track, coming in 6 metres ahead of his rivals. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. HEMSWORTH (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 7 metres at this track over 1609m. DIEGO (5) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 1609m at this track two runs back.
