debut. 6- Count On Barney – Looks to have a lot of talent.

Yonkers Peek At Program- July 11th
Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
1ST RACE – (5) HEN PARTY tries the statebreds for first time in opener of NYSS Hirt Pace. Lass was third across river this past Friday, intrigues in opener.
2ND RACE – (3) ALLTHEFIXINS answers musical query of, ‘How stubborn are we?’ Tried in both local starts, broke early in each but did close well each time.
5TH RACE – (6) TWIN B LUSH crossed border for purse debut after pair of Mohawk qualifiers. It’s the Excelsiors, so needn’t be that much to fit in with these.
6TH RACE – (3) BOLT OF BEAUTY does leave same race as first-race nod, took action to odds-on winner, up track. Drilled lone sire stakes rivals in slow mile.
7TH RACE – (2) COCONUT BEACH is another from the same Kindergarten race across river. Outraced her odds then, small-track bow in third statebred event.
9TH RACE – (1) WIND BLAST did stop on a dime in latest, with something obviously amiss. Requalified without incident, wins draw, back as a bottom-feeder.
12TH RACE – (1) NEWSDAY is not nearly solid number she was at 3, back here as ’19 0-fer. Tries lesser then when last seen, but has soiled good trips before.
$2 +/- (thru Mon., July 8) – 148 wins ($916.90)
from 732 ($1,464) selex (-$547.10, basking in something, though not sure what)
highest-priced winner – BOINGANATOR ($43.80)
lowest-priced winner – RICH AND MISERABLE ($2.10, solid)
Good luck today and thank you for choosing...

The defending champion, Claiborne Farm and Adele Dilschneider’s Elate tops the 82nd renewal of the $750,000 Grade II Delaware Handicap at Delaware Park this Saturday. The mile-and-a-quarter filly and mare summer classic has attracted a field of nine.
The 5-year-old daughter of Medaglia d’Oro has a record of a win, a second and a third from 3 starts in 2019. In her most recent the Kentucky-bred trained by William Mott notched a 1 ½-length triumph in the mile and an eighth Grade II Fleur de Lis at Churchill Downs on June 15. Her other two outings this year were both going a mile and a sixteenth at Oaklawn Park where she ran second in the Grade II Azeri Stakes on March 16 and she followed by finishing third in the Grade I Apple Blossom Handicap on April 14. Last year, she made only two starts. She won the Delaware Handicap by 3 ¼-lengths and she followed by running second in the Grade I Personal Ensign at Saratoga. She has a career record of six wins, five seconds and two thirds from 15 starts with earnings of $1,698,775.
“She is doing very well,” said William Mott. “She won the Fleur de Lis and ran a great race. She finished well, made the lead inside the eighth pole and was drawing away at the end. It was a very useful race and it seemed like the nine furlongs seemed to suit her much better than the previous two-times at a mile and a sixteenth. We are certainly looking forward to running her back in the Delaware Handicap at ten furlongs.”
William Mott has won the Delaware Handicap twice with Royal Delta in 2012 and 2013. A victory by Elate would be his fourth Delaware Handicap which would equal the record for most by trainer held by Henry Clark and Todd Pletcher. Clark won the Delaware Handicap with Endine in 1958 & 1959 and Obeah in 1969 and 1970.
“I think anytime you can run in a race like this and keep winning them, it is a good thing,” Mott said. “We just try to stay competitive...
