Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
DRINKING PROBLEMS (2) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so he can play a significant role. IDITOROD (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. ZIDANE KEMP (4) is capable of better after finishing well back when resuming over 1609m at Philadelphia seven-and-a-half weeks ago.

Resuming after a spell of seven months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into tenth behind Wishuponastar Deo at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 2yo F on July 11 at $24.15. Worth consideration.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Theobald at this track over 1609m W2BNMT4 last start. Before that was beaten 0.6 metres second at Philadelphia in NW1PM on December 26. Racing well and is a winning chance.

Resumes today. At the latest first-up run 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 30 m by Calculated Concept (1:55.10) in NW1PM on May 8 at $9.40. Will find this a tough assignment; prefer later.
