Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $34,833

HIMSELF N (4) scored last time out by 22 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Recent effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. BET ON BIG JOE (1) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take care of this line-up. IKNOWBETTER (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. BRUTALLYHANDSOME A (2) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
