Mahoning Valley Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

FAST AND FRIENDLY (2) has not raced since he scored over 1207m at Thistledown on May 17. Sure to prove tough to stop. SGT YORK (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten only one length. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MY VALENTINO (6) was well fancied last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when sixth, beaten 9 lengths. Great chance to atone. BALKI BARTOKOMOUS (5) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth in a 1207m contest at this track last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
