Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $37,184

HAPPY JACK B (2) ran eighth last start at Meadowlands over 1609m, beaten 24 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the class to take this out. CHAPTER GEO J (4) was successful at his most recent outing by 3 metres at this track over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. His recent effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. MATTHEWS (5) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. GOYA (3) is worth some thought based on her third over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 24 m by On To Norway (1:48.30) in GRADUATE F-G2 on July 4 at $143.50. The start before 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at Meadowlands beaten 20 m by Super Chapter (1:51.10) in GRADUATE on June 20 at $46.10. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Well-beaten 21 days ago at this track over 1609m, and two back 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Minoan (1:55.30) in W2BNMT4 on June 17 at $2.67. Recent efforts only moderate - hard to see him featuring in the finish.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 4th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, beaten 7 m by Ibelieveinangels (1:54.30) in 5yo on October 16 at $49.70. Might be better for this run.
