Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $27,932

ROCKIN N TALKIN (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can find winning ways. DONTLIKEITLEAVE (1) won at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope if things go his way. SOUTHWIND PETYR (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. EVER HOPING A (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Plainridge Park.
