Yonkers Raceway Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $76,139

MOSSDALE BEN N (5) had been about the mark in recent runs before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 4.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. SWEET BEACH LIFE (6) turned in a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at this track on June 22. Primary contender in a similar assignment. PINNY TIGER A (4) is in the mix at his first run since finishing fourth over 1609m at this track four-and-a-half months ago. CATALPA RESCUE A (2) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at Plainridge Park over 1609m.
