Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool starts in Race 5. The Spot Plays are in Race 1, Race 2, and 3. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 1 (6:45 PM EDT)

3-Missed The Truth A (5-1)-Makes the 1st start for the Dilloian barn and that outfit posts 40% winners in this situation. The veteran has finished 2nd against this kind 2 and 3 back. The winners are not in this field and last time left from post 6 and finished 3rd after being hung the mile. Gets post relief, comes right back and Jim Marohn takes pictures for this barn at a 25% clip. The cause for pause is the 1-18 record at Yonkers but will look for an honest price and will respect the connections.

3-1-5

Race 2 (7:05 PM EDT)

1-Keayang Kamikaze A (6-1)-The toughest customers are starting from post 2-3-4 and they have been a bit better. But at 6-1 in the morning line, coming back in sequence and most importantly drawing the rail the 9-year-old is worth a play. The last time it can back in sequence was on 8-5. Drew the 1-hole versus this kind and went gate to wire. Not sure that plan will be followed but from the inside Jim Marohn can show good gate speed. Could get the top or the 2-hole and be there at the wire at a square price.

1-2-3

Race 3 (7:25 PM EDT)

4-Chase H Hanover (5/2)-Won't be a big price but should offer fair value as others will attract money who have drawn outside. Joe B drives his own, 2 back he did the same and sizzled a 26.4 opening quarter. Fell a nose short but this time could be different. There isn't big gate speed leaving from the inside so should be able to get the top without using up much gas. If Joe B taps the breaks after landing on the point it can lead to a picture.
