OURMATEMENKO N is a tough, seasoned campaigner who’s been racing far better than his recent finishes suggest, repeatedly forced to launch from a string of poor posts that have buried him before the gate even opens. Despite the draws, he’s been finishing with interest and holding his own against deep Yonkers company, showing the same grit that’s carried him past $100,000 in earnings with a sharp 1:52.1 mile on the big track. When he finally draws inside, he’s the type who can put himself in play early, sit closer, and show the true form that’s been hidden by the numbers. For partners looking for a horse who’s sharper than the program line and ready to pop with a fair post, OURMATEMENKO N checks every box... Note that he'll be back at Yonkers on Tuesday...
