Yonkers Raceway Race 4

Race 4

Stake: $73,609

MAC'S DELIGHT (3) made it four wins on the trot last time out, getting home by 1.5 metres over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. HOWLENTHEHILLS (4) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. BEST CHIP (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Scioto Downs last time out. SUGAR MAN (1) must be respected after scoring last start by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m.

Has won at his last two outings. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.10) beating Boston Bound in NW22481L5 on July 28 at $1.44. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to give backers a sight.

Last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Sugar Man (1:53.10) in NW22481L5 on July 28 at $10.61. Two runs back won by 1.5 m (Fr4) at this track (1:51.40) beating Lyons Franky J in NW15000L5 on July 21 at $35.60. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at this track (1:52.10) beating Go Go Grasshopper in 3-6 YO OPN on July 28 at $4.33. Two runs back won by 3 m as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.00) beating Young Bluey in NW33876L5 on July 20 at $1.83. No reason he cannot score again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m third behind Mac's Delight at this track over 1609m 3-6 YO OPN last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second again at this track in NW23251L5 on July 21. Racing well and is a strong chance.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 24 m by Sweet Beach Life (1:51.20) in INVITATION on July 20 at $11.80. Two runs back won by 1.5 m (Fr5) at this track (1:52.10) beating Young Bluey in NW30000L5 on July 13 at $5.08. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
