Yonkers Raceway Race 1 - Race 1
DIAMONDBEACH (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 45 metres into seventh at Meadowlands over 1609m. Taking on a better field but from this better draw he is good enough to make his presence felt. BLACK HAWK JOE A (4) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2.25 metres at this track over 1609m. SAILBOAT HANOVER (3) last appeared when third over 1609m at this track seven months ago. Must be respected. Something for the Multiples: SURFSIDE BEACH (7)

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 m by Surfside Beach (1:54.10) in 15000CLM on April 27 at $9.74. Before that 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Mr Profeta (1:54.30) in 15000CLM on April 15 at $40.43. Likely to find this a bit tough.
