Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $29,008

HEMSWORTH N (2) has drawn wide in recent runs. Failed to feature last time out when fifth over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw on this occasion. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. FEARFUL INTENT (4) scored at Philadelphia two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 metres. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat. ALWAYS B ELITE N (3) is flying at present with two successive wins to his name, most recently at this track two weeks ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. CHURCHVIEWFRANKL IR (1) is close to a win after two successive seconds, the latest over 1609m at this track.
