Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $31,799

SHIPMASTER (4) finished seventh last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 65 metres, after a modest sixth at this track the run prior. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. INTIMIDATION (3) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his victory last start, scoring by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. GINGRAS BEACH (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Genuine threat. HEZA RISK TAKER A (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Captain Moore at this track over 1609m in a NW15001L5 on May 25 at $64.26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind American Dealer at this track over 1609m in a NW10000L5 on June 1 at $13.72. Has the ability to play a major role.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 65 m by Brutallyhandsome (1:51.30) in 50000CLM on June 1 at $15.31. The run before 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 20 m by Theflyingrock (1:52.20) in 50000CLM on May 18 at $9.83. Good enough to turn things around.
