East Rutherford,
NJ - Saturday night's co-featured eighth race, a conditioned pace for
a purse of $18,000, offers horseplayers a field so evenly matched that seven of
the eight horses in the field are between 4-1 and 6-1 on the computer
generated morning line.
More Dragon (Dave
Miller) is the slightest of favorites for the Burke stable at 4-1
from the rail with a pair of Delaware shippers, Tip It On Back (Bret
Brittingham) and Special T Rocks (Andy Miller) co second choices at 9-2.
The field contains a few
"Down Under" defectors via Yonkers Raceway in Polak A (Jim
Marohn, Jr) and Macintosh N (Shaun Vallee), the always tough Alberto Contador N
(Corey Callahan) and the all-time Yonkers track record holder at 1:50 The
Real One.
Completing the
eight-pack is B Fast Eddie (Billy Mann) for owner/trainer Eric Foster who is
enjoying a break out season at The Big M.
Also on the bill is the
$17,500 Dash For The G-Notes final in race seven , another pari-mutuel puzzler.
