Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. The Spot Plays are in Race 4, Race 6, and Race 8. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 4 (7:45 PM EDT)

Looking at a 2 horse box with 1-Seaside Diva (9/2) and 6-Tick A Loch A (6-1), and will play #6 to win.
6-Tick A Loch A (6-1)-Popped at a very nice 8-1 last week leaving from post 6 against this kind. Shipped in from Philly and missed a start, now comes back in sequence. Did get a 2nd quarter breather last time but could be even sharper in the 2nd race in town. Likes racing on the Hilltop (12-4-3-1) and should be a main player if driver Matt Kakaley does his job.

1-Seaside Diva (9/2)-The camera-shy mare has only a single win in 2026 (10-1-3-3) and at Yonkers is (21-2-8-2). But has been racing well versus Invites. Yannick Gingras will need to work a smooth trip, and if so, can be a top of the ticket candidate. Can make the most of the inside post draw.

6-Tich A Loch to Win
Exacta Box 1-6

6-1-7

Race 6 (8:25 PM EDT)

1-Elegant A (2-1)-Won its last at Tioga and did take a picture at Yonkers against this company. Posted a win and came a good 2nd versus this kind at YR last year in the fall. This is a beatable field and can get a preferred top of the stack trip with this post draw. Was off over 3 weeks before the last start and now comes back in sequence. Colin Kelly sticks, will respect chances of doubling up and will key on top in Exactas.

Exacta 1/5,6

1-6-5

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

4-BJM'S Lil Man (6-1)-Won against easier on 5-15 and then stepped up to face this kind on 5-22. That night was bet down to 4/5, suffered an interference break early in the mile and lost all chance. Then, stepped up to face Invites and raced evenly. Was back in against this kind on 6-12 and raced from the backfield to come a close 5th. Did roll the back half in 56.4 leaving from post 7, and this will be the 3rd start on Lasix. Gets a new set of hands in Matt Kakaley, draws a choice post, and should be forwardly placed off the car. Will play BJM's Lil Man to win and can offer a solid price.
