Yonkers Raceway Race 5 - Race 5
FAMILY RECIPE (6) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can give this a mighty shake. SMOOTH LOU (3) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago. METAMAN (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on January 22.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Shake It (1:56.40) in 15000CLM on January 28 at $14.79. Before that 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at Monticello Raceway, beaten 0.9 m by Vel Larry (1:57.40) in NW500PSL5 on January 20 at $3.29. Would be better placed in something easier.
