Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $47,137

JUMPINGJACKMAC N (4) has been excellent of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 1.5 metres. Finds a tougher race but the hat-trick is not out of the question. LOU HILL (5) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at Dayton Raceway the run prior. Meets a similar line up and he can get the job done. MIKI SHAN N (3) is better than his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track. HELLABALOU (6) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1609m at this track.
