Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 rolls in Race 5, and it has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. My Spot Plays are in Race 1, Race 3, and Race 5. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 1 (6:45 PM EDT)

4-Lyons Benjamin (15-1)-Took a picture 3 back and has been claimed in the last 5 starts. Been stuck with the 7-hole in the last 2 races and has cashed small checks. Draws the choice post tonight and that in itself can be the winning difference. Likes to race at the top of the stack and should be no worse than in the 2 hole around the 1st turn. Looks like a main player, can be a solid price but the morning line appears too high.

Playing #4 Lyons Benjamin to Win

Race 3 (7:25 PM EDT)

4-Peace Out Posse (6-1)-Was claimed on 6-22 for $30k and then stepped up to face the $40k claimers. Raced evenly to cash a small check and now drops back to the claiming price. This is the level for a win, and that happened 3 back against this kind. Jordan Stratton knows well and should provide an aggressive steer trying to cash the top check.

Race 5 (8:05 PM EDT)

5-Lyrical Genuis A (4-1)-This 9-year-old was claimed on 5/25 from the Dilloian barn and in the 4 races for that outfit it had 2 wins plus a 2nd and 3rd place finish. Tonight, will make its 1st start after a claim for the same barn. Hasn't raced since 6-22 but this is Jason Bartlett’s choice and he posts 36% wins for this outfit. The Dilloian barn posts 42% winners in the 1st race following a claim. Gets a positive driver change and he should be leaving hard to get on the point. Hasn't raced since 6-22 and trusting the connections will have this one ready to roll.
