Yonkers Raceway Race 2 - Race 2

VERY BUSY (2) is the one to beat after a Yonkers win over 1609m on 9 May, leading throughout from gate 7 and scoring by 3L; he’d won his prior two starts at Pocono and Monticello. CHATTY MATTIE (5) chased that winner here the same night and held 3rd, beaten 3L after sitting handy, and maps to get a similar run. PRESS (3) comes off a close 2nd at Pocono over 1609m on 12 May, beaten 0.75L, and draws to be prominent. Don’t Mike (4) has recent Hoosier form including a win on 8 April and wasn’t far away when 4th last time, 3L off them over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: PRESS (3) NINA BLAZING (1) DON'T MIKE (4) AUGUSTUS BLUE CHIP (6)
