Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. The 0.50 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool rolls in Race 5. The Spot Plays are in Race 2, Race 3, and Race 5. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 2 (7:05 PM EDT)

1-Whats Stanley Got A (6-1)-This isn't the easiest horse to read. But deserves a long look from the inside against a group that is moving up and or not proven at this level. The veteran moves up off a big effort from post 8 and was aided by some quick fractions. Usually is in the mix at YR with an inside draw and does know how to beat this kind. #4 Finvarra at 6/5 is similar in some ways and loses Bartlett to an injury most likely. Would rather lean here at a better price with regular driver Jordan Stratton aboard and will rely on a big effort coming.

Race 3 (7:25 PM EDT)

4-Twin B Powerball (12-1)-After making 39 starts last year the 8-year-old has only raced 5 times in 2026. Has a win and a 2nd place finish but was put away in mid-February and made its return on 8-13 versus better. Started from post 7 and put in a no-move mile racing from the back of the pack. Comes right back and lands in a very competitive level if ready to go. Will fade the program chalk #7 Federer who is 7/5 and will likely be without Bartlett. Looking for a big price, and from a choice post will take a swing the Team Lachance entry will be dialed on high.

Race 5 (8:05 PM EDT)

4-Black Hawk Joe A (6-1)-Rolled the 2nd half in 56.3 in last but it wasn’t enough after being 11-lengths back at the half. That was from post 7 and now starts in a prime slot. Beat this kind 2 back from another choice post and will look for that type of performance.
