Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
B NICKING (4) scored by 4.5 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m last start, the second win from his past four runs. Stepping up a level this time but he is good enough to take this out. BUSY MAKING MONI (8) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished fourth over 1609m at Meadowlands last time out. ENERGY KING (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at Meadowlands, beaten 23 m by Iwon't Backdown As (1:54.00) in NW7500L5CD on January 9 at $35.10. Before that 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Till I Collapse As (1:55.20) in 40000CLM on December 18 at $42.39. Hard to recommend on recent form.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Bluebird Bishop at this track over 1609m in a 40000CLM on December 11 at $30.34. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Vlahos at this track over 1609m in a 40000CLM on December 18 at $7.58. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 m by Chipper Dale (1:57.30) in 40000CLM on December 18 at $18.71. Before that 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Bluebird Bishop (1:59.30) in 40000CLM on December 11 at $2.85. Not a genuine contender.
