Yonkers Raceway Race 6 - Race 6

GORGEOUS BIG GUY (6) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last six starts including a third most recently at this track over 1609m. Meets a similar line up so he can add to the impressive recent efforts. HOWLENTHEHILLS (4) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and 10 metres from the winner. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. GO GO GRASSHOPPER (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Meadowlands last time out. BOURBON COUNTY (1) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.
