Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $35,272

TORRONE (1) had to dig deep to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.9 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can get the job done again. NOTTINGHAM (2) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 metres, after a good second at this track the run prior. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. BLACK TIE BASH (3) is one of the main contenders after winning his past three starts, the latest at this track two weeks ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. TEXSONG SOPRANO (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.
