Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $72,780

MOSSDALE BEN N (1) was responsible for a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on April 20. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. HUNTINTHELASTDOLAR (6) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Good enough to take out a race like this. WHY NOT NOW (2) finished second last start over 1609m at this track a week ago. This is a nice assignment and he appeals as a solid top-three chance. CELTIC SPIRIT N (4) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.9 m as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:52.10) beating Coaches Corner in BORG #4 on April 20 at $2.32. In terrific form and is the one to beat again.
