Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
BUECKERS (2) has been hard to fault of late. Scored at her latest appearance over 1609m at Batavia Downs, getting home by 0.8 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Primary contender based on recent form. LENNA (4) gave her opponents no chance last start when she cruised to a 10 metres victory over 1609m at Pocono Downs. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she good enough to play a major role. LADY OAKLEY (5) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Batavia Downs last time out. HAY BETH (3) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at Batavia Downs over 1609m.

Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Batavia Downs and Monticello Raceway both over 1609m. Last start won by a 0.8 m as favourite (Fr5) at Batavia Downs (1:55.00) beating American Cheese in NY EXCEL on July 22 at $1.47. No reason she cannot chalk-up the hat-trick.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Graceland Hill at The Meadows over 1609m in a FMNW2EXTPM on June 25 at $13.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Carry Back at Batavia Downs over 1609m in a NY EXCEL on July 22 at $36.64. Racing in great heart and is a leading contender.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Call Me Angelita at this track over 1609m in a FMW2BNM4PM on July 8 at $46.28. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Bueckers at Batavia Downs over 1609m in a NY EXCEL on July 22 at $17.20. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
