Yonkers is great to race at for purse money.  Bad thing is none of the drivers will give you a chance if you draw outside. They also barely rough each other up.  Come on you pussies drive them things.  Take Northfield as an example them boys just flat out race!

Since they came back from the break i think only 2 - 8 horses have won.
One was a hot fav. the other cushing sent out at 30-1 was a trot race half field broke in pouring rain.
never going to change
