Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card and the $1.00 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool goes in Race 5. The Spot Plays are in Race 1, Race 8, and Race 10. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 1 (6:45 PM EDT)

Going to use a short price with a sharp hose who could be overlooked in an Exacta Box. The 4-Topville Somebeach-9/5 went gate to wire last time and will look to do the same leaving from post 4. Yannick Gingras gets the nod, and he will fire out in the 1st race for the Jared Bako barn. Jordan Stratton steers 4-Stellar Yankee (9/2). The Corey Stratton entry comes off a sharp score at Plainridge and does face easier than when last seen at Yonkers in May. Expecting lively fractions and Stratton could be stalking close to the leaders around the last turn.

Will use 4-Topville Somebeach (9/5) in an Exacta box with 6-Stellar Yankee (9/2).

6-2-3

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

4-Mossdale Ben (9/5) looks the best and should be on the point around the opening turn. Gets a choice post and Jim Marohn could be in control from start to finish at a small price. Will play on top in Exactas with 3-Soho Firestone A (6-1) and
6-Captinhammerhead (3-1).

Using 4-Mossdale Ben on top in Exactas 4/3,6

Race 10 (9:45 PM EDT)

2-Black Hawk Joe A (6-1)-The rail horse is 8/5 in the morning line and will likely be bet down. Loses its regular pilot Brent Holland, has finished 2nd in the last 2 races, could be bet hard, and will fade. Looking for a solid price and this veteran gets a new set of hands in Scott Zeron. Sat in the pocket in last, stayed inside on the rail and could not get out but wouldn't have won. Tonight's chalk pinned Joe to the rail and then was edged out for show money. Now, Tyler Buter should protect the rail. So, will look for Zeron to get a pocket ride and then find a way to roll by down the lane at a nice price.

Will play #2-Black Hawk Joe to Win.
