Yonkers Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $57,918

ALWAYS A THRILL (4) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when he scored by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. ALL CLASS (5) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1609m at this track. Sure to be right there at the finish. HEZA CHARTTOPPER A (6) is a very consistent performer back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has won when fresh in the past and can play a major role in the finish. BET ON BIG JOE (1) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1609m.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Sun Of A Show at Meadowlands over 1609m in a 40000CLHC on January 17 at $11. Then a handy effort when a close second behind The Ideal Dancer at this track over 1609m in a NW20986L5 on January 27 at $1.97. In the mix from the inside draw.
