Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $32,303

STERLING CHOICE (6) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 6 metres. JUST ENUFF STUFF (1) recorded yet another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Leading hope based on that latest outing. BET ON BIG JOE (5) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. IKNOWBETTER (2) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Meadowlands a week-and-a-half ago.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind The Greek Freak at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on March 9 at $8.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Curly James at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on March 16 at $6.12. Capable of a strong showing.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Typhoon Banner at Meadowlands over 1609m in a 40000CLHC on March 7 at $13.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Typhoon Banner at Meadowlands over 1609m in a 40000CLHC on March 14 at $6.30. Progressing well. Top prospects.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Hemsworth (1:53.00) in NW15001L5 on March 16 at $1.90. Before that beaten 5 metres, fifth at this track over 1609m NW20000L5 on March 9. Not doing enough.
