Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Stake: $29,725

SADDLE UP (4) recent form has been very consistent. Scored at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 4 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can take care of this line-up. MAXIMUS RED (1) finished second at this track two runs ago before finishing seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 22 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. SHADOW CAT (7) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago. BILL HALEY (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on July 24.
