Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $59,972

MOSSDALE BEN N (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Primary contender in a similar line-up. CAPTINHAMMERHEAD A (6) is in good form at present. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. DONEGAL LUTHER N (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SOHO FIRESTONE A (3) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 1609m.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 m by Catalpa Rescue (1:52.20) in INVITATION on June 15 at $20.74. The run prior 8th over 1609m at Western Fair Raceway was 3rd- at the bell, beaten 7 m by Lou Hill (1:51.20) on May 29 at $8.95. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.
