Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $127,532

BASTONATA BLUECHIP (2) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last five starts including a second most recently at Batavia Downs over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Has the class to take this out. PRIMACY STATION (5) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then registered a comfortable victory last start, scoring by 11 metres over 1609m at Batavia Downs. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player again. ROSE RUN COWBOY (4) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 4 metres at Saratoga over 1609m. MAN ON A HUNT (1) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Batavia Downs eight days ago.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Rose Run Cowboy at Saratoga over 1609m in a NYSS on August 4 at $8.78. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Primacy Station at Batavia Downs over 1609m in a NYSS on August 12 at $2.71. Strong winning hope.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Saratoga (1:54.00) beating Man On A Hunt in NYSS on August 4 at $1.29. Worth plenty of thought.
