Yonkers Raceway Race 3 - Race 3

TELLING TALL TALES (2) is an in-form gelding who has managed five wins and one minor placings from six starts this prep. Produced another fine effort last start when he finished second over 1609m at Tioga Downs, beaten 6 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. CHAPTER DARBY (3) ran fourth last start at Tioga Downs over 1609m, beaten 25 metres. Expecting a very good run. SUPREME CHAPTER (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Tioga Downs. FOOLS GAME (1) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at Tioga Downs on August 16.
