Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2
SPECTACULAR LEO (6) brings winning momentum after dominant Monticello victories, the latest by 6.25L over 1609m, and looks the one to beat. ADAM CHEESEHEAD (4) rates the main danger after a strong 2nd at Yonkers over 1609m last week, beaten 3L, with prior Pocono placing. DRAMAS A (7) is consistent with back‑to‑back 3rds at Yonkers, including last start beaten 3L, and fits onto the minors. HURRIKANE LILLOUIE (8) has recent Saratoga form, winning by 9.75L two back and then 3rd beaten 1.5L, and can feature despite the draw.
