Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
BET ON BIG JOE (2) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his success last time out, scoring by 4 metres over 1609m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. BRUTALLYHANDSOME A (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. THEFLYINGROCK (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m second behind Bet On Big Joe at this track over 1609m 50000CLM last start. Before that was beaten 0.6 metres second again at this track same class on May 11. Racing well and is a winning chance.
