Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Prize Money: $29,957

HEMSWORTH N (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.5 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to take out a race like this. FEDERER (6) scored a decisive win last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by 19 metres in an emphatic display. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. THE MIKI TAKER A (1) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. JON I LOVE DAT (5) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Mac's Marvel at this track over 1609m in a NW11001L5 on July 28 at $61.83. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Orlando Blue at this track over 1609m in a NW7500L5 on August 5 at $5.56. The testing material off the pegs.
