Yonkers Raceway Race 8 - Race 8
ALWAYS A STORY (5) finished sixth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 18 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. FRANK LEAHY (2) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. KILDARE KING (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track a week ago. WHEELZABLAZIN (1) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1609m at this track.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Asteroid (1:55.10) in NW32881L5 on August 20 at $38.44. Showed ability the run before when he won by a 0.9 m (Fr3) at this track (1:55.00) beating Kildare King in NW20000L5 on August 13 at $6.14. A better showing expected.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Voguish at this track over 1609m in a FM INV on August 27 at $7.40. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Miracle Maven (1:55.10) in FM INV on August 20 at $11.12. This race appears well within her grasp.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Wheelzablazin at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on August 13 at $6.28. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind High Speed Swan at this track over 1609m in a NW20000L5 on August 27 at $4.71. Going nicely and looks very hard to beat.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by High Speed Swan (1:55.30) in NW20000L5 on August 27 at $50.96. Before that beaten 7 metres, fifth at this track over 1609m NW20000L5 on August 20. Prepared to risk.
