Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
NATIVE PRIDE (1) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Tioga Downs, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope based on that recent effort. LITTLE BY LITTLE (6) was in the money on debut two runs ago then went well again last time over 1609m at Tioga Downs, finishing 6 metres from the winner in second. Primary contender based on those two efforts. SOLAR QUEEN (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1609m at Tioga Downs last time out. COUNT THE TEARS (3) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at Tioga Downs.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Tioga Downs beaten 6 m by French Pastry (1:58.00) in NYEXCELF on July 31 at $7. At her previous start good run when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at Buffalo Raceway, beaten 10 m by Native Pride (2:02.10) in NY EXCEL on July 15 at $1.93. Makes plenty of appeal.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Native Pride at Buffalo Raceway over 1609m in a NY EXCEL on July 15 at $5.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind French Pastry at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a NYEXCELF on July 31 at $13.51. Nicely placed to take this out.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Jula Florence at Buffalo Raceway over 1609m in a NYSS on July 15 at $3.12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Seven Thirds at Tioga Downs over 1609m in a NYEXCELF on July 31 at $3.80. Going along well. Top prospects.
