Yonkers Raceway Race 9

Race 9

Stake: $29,725

SIP OF BOURBON (1) made it two wins from his last four outings a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. LYONS BENJAMIN (6) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 6 metres at this track over 1609m. WELL THAT'S MARKY (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m.
