Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $34,833

BETTOR BY SEASIDE (3) continued the strong recent form when he saluted last start over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Big chance in a similar assignment. IKNOWBETTER (2) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 6 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this better draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. BET ON BIG JOE (6) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. BRUTALLYHANDSOME A (1) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on July 14.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind My Ultimate Byron at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM on June 15 at $4.76. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Keayang Taco at this track over 1609m in a 50000CLM on June 29 at $3.20. Can improve. Top chance.
