Yonkers Raceway Race 5

Race 5

Stake: $34,237

PAXAMILLION (4) produced a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on July 27. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. INVICTUS (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Monticello Raceway. ZEBS KRAFTY (1) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.
