Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card to begin the week. The $1.00 Pick 5, with a $10,000 guaranteed pool starts in Race 5. The Spot Plays are in Race 1, Race 5, and Race 7. They can be used in Win Bets and Gimmicks as well. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 1 (6:45 PM EDT)

3-Rolling With Sam (9/2)-Cashed a few small checks versus $30k claimers and drops into a better spot for a rare picture. Has posted 1 win in 21 starts, but with the inside draw should be in the hunt at a square price. Joe B gets the call, and he posts 33% winners for the Adamczyk barn. Sam's last win came on 5-11 at YR with tonight's pilot at the controls and will look for the same outcome here.

Race 5 (8:05 PM EDT)

6-Whats Stanley Got A (20-1)-This Team Straton entry has been well represented down a level even from the 8-hole. Liked him last week at this class and was a transportation scratch. Looking for an aggressive steer, could land in the pocket at a big price and trip out. Will look for an alert beginning and a sharp steer.

6-4-2

Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)

5-Joemikiyoursofine (12-1)-Will fade Heza Risk Taker A the 2/1 rail horse and go with a veteran that offers value. Drops to a more comfortable level and faces a beatable field. Should land in a good early seat and the 6-year-old can be a factor down the lane at a juicy price.
