Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $28,853

DELIGHTFUL DUDE (1) has been racing very well and kept it up last time out with a strong win at this track over 1609m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make his presence felt. MAXIMUS RED (4) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can play a big role. CHANTEE (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SAILBOAT HANOVER (3) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
