Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $20,921

CYRUS N (2) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a second most recently at Monticello Raceway over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is good enough to take this out. SAILBOAT HANOVER (3) finished second last start, beaten 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. BLACK HAWK JOE A (1) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. SARANAC BLUE CHIP (7) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Smokin Hot Dude at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a NW900PSL5 on June 2 at $2.01. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Buy In at Monticello Raceway over 1609m in a NW900PSL5 on June 9 at $4.26. Plenty to like about his prospects.
