Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
LONG SHORE (3) made an immediate impact on debut last start, scoring by 11 metres over 1609m at Vernon Downs. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up so she can certainly make it two on the bounce. TALADEGA EXPRESS (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 35 metres at Vernon Downs over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. COOKIE BAR (4) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Vernon Downs. IMDAGIRLOFURDREAMS (6) is stepping out for the first time. By American Ideal and hails from the Gary Levine stable. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters.
