Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $39,943

BOURBON COUNTY (1) scored at Oak Grove Racing two runs ago before having his colours lowered when sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at The Red Mile, beaten 23 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the talent to take this out. RAILROAD STATION (7) made it two in a row last start when he got the cash by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can grab another win. KEAYANG TACO A (4) is usually thereabouts and looks a strong winning hope this time following a last-start fifth at this track. Rarely lets backers down. RESILIENT N (6) will be cherry-ripe after three runs back from a spell, the latest effort a fourth at this track eight days ago.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Captain Arturovico at The Red Mile over 1609m in a KYSS4YOHG on July 27 at $3.97. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 5 m win (Fr8) at Oak Grove Racing (1:51.00) beating Falcon in W5-10PM on July 15 at $5.43. Chief contender.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Heza Charttopper (1:52.40) in NW15000L5 on July 27 at $22.40. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Copperfield at this track over 1609m in a NW16136L5 on July 20 at $25.36. This is likely to prove too tough.
