Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $35,948

THE RASCAL N (7) finished second two starts ago then recorded a comfortable victory last time out, scoring by 14 metres over 1609m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Primary contender in this comparable race. BALLROOM AFFAIR (6) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1609m at Philadelphia. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. CALLMEBIGPAPI (1) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. SWEET JOEL (3) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Talbot Andretti at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW2PM CG on July 11 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind The Rascal at this track over 1609m in a CHGNW2PM on July 21 at $2.96. In the mix from the inside draw.
