Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. My spot plays are in Race 3, Race 5, and Race 8. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 3 (7:25 EDT)

7-Aardie B Miki N (5/2)-Came with a big try from the 7-hole and finished 2nd in last. Has been in better form in the past 2 races after shipping in from Mohawk. Now drops again looking for a win and there isn't a lot of gate speed in this contest. Should have its way with this field and Colin Kelly could be leaving to take control off the car. The outside post should help the price.

Race 5 (8:05 PM EDT)

5-Bout Damn Time A (5-1)Drew off by 7-lengths versus the $20k claimers and was claimed by the Corey Stratton barn. That was the 4th claim since 5-14. That night she was claimed away from the Stratton barn, so they are familiar with this mare. Could get the jump on the morning line chalk #2 Twin B Echo who has won 2 straight. Steps up, as the connections are trying to protect her but can compete here. Should offer a square price and could be up to the challenge.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

3-Front Page Story (6-1)-Popped at 23-1 against this kind off a nice steer by Pat Lachance and was aided by some lively fractions. Comes off a win, unlike the rest, and this isn't the strongest field of F&M Invites. Could be in play early in the mile and can stay good for another picture. Won't be a big price like last time but could offer a nice return and double-up against this group.

Will play #3 Front Page Story to Win
