Yonkers Raceway Race 7

Race 7

Stake: $64,404

HUNTINTHELASTDOLAR (1) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Faces a similar assignment. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. DESPERATE MAN (7) had been racing in great heart then was again in sparkling form last start when he scored by 3 metres over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. SOHO FIRESTONE (3) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. AMERICAN DEALER (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.
