Yonkers Raceway Race 1

Race 1

Stake: $28,554

SOUTHWIND JUDGE (3) finished eighth last start, beaten 35 metres at Meadowlands over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. PEPPERMINT PETE (5) finished fourth last time out, beaten 5 metres, in a far better performance at Vernon Downs over 1609m. Meets a comparable field so he can salute this time around. ROMANTIC LOU (1) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Great chance to break through. P A PIPER (6) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Meadowlands a month ago.
