Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 starts in Race 5 and tonight due to a carryover it has a $30,000 guaranteed pool. The Spot Plays are in Race 4, Race 5, and Race 10. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 4 (7:45 PM EDT)

2-TH Colby (9/2)-Recent form is good and has been in the mix hitting the board in 4 straight starts at Yonkers (5-0-2-3-). Looks attractive at the morning line price as Yannick Gingras takes the lines. The Burke barn has been clicking, and this pilot posts 21% winners for this outfit. Faces the same kind, will look for Gingras to squeeze a little more out of the 4-year-old, and this is a beatable field.

Race 5 (8:05 EDT)

3-Donegal Luther N (9/2)-This is an on and off sort that drops to a soft spot. Will toss last against a tough crowd in Philly, they aren't going to the half in .53 flat tonight. Could beat these with a big effort and this should be GO Time.

3-6-4

Playing #3 Donegal Luther N to Win

Race 10 (9:45 PM EDT)

5-Full Support (4-1)-One-move type did win 2 back off an efficient trip from the rail versus this kind. Has put forth a top effort in every other start over the last 6 races. Fits with this kind, and this is the "other" start that should lead to a strong try at a square price.
