Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Prize Money: $47,896

MAC'S DELIGHT (1) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 6 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets some better types this time but the hat-trick is not out of the question. YOUNG BLUEY A (5) filled a minor placing at Philadelphia two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. AMERICAN DEALER N (3) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 4 metres at this track over 1609m. KWICK SAND A (2) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at this track over 1609m.

Six-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:52.10) beating Moment Is Here in NW20000L5 on July 7 at $1.16. Racing in great heart and another win is on the cards.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Gorgeous Big Guy at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on June 30 at $9.23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Downbythewater at this track over 1609m in a NW23101L5 on July 7 at $11.85. Looks the testing material.
