Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $21,398

STORMY SERENA (4) won at this track two runs ago before finishing second at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Primary contender if things go her way. NUTTINBUTHEBEST (6) had been about the mark in recent runs before the latest appearance when she got the job done again, scoring by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Leading hope in this comparable race. RACIN FOR ROYALTY (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. MALUKA MISS N (5) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on January 27.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Yuengling at this track over 1609m in a FM20000CLM on January 20 at $8.97. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Nuttinbuthebest at this track over 1609m in a FM20000CLM on January 27 at $4.49. One of the key runners.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 4.5 m (Fr5) at this track (1:57.40) beating Stormy Serena in FM25000CLM on January 27 at $68.58. Two runs back 2nd (Fr9) over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 4.5 m by Seeyou At Thebeach (1:52.10) in MADC 1 on January 16 at $2.40. This looks too tough.
