Yonkers Raceway Race 9 - Race 9

OLIVER THE GREAT (2) ran second last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 2.25 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. DW'S POINT MAN (4) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. ALWAYS A STORY (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Saratoga over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: RITSON (7)
