Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card and the $1.00 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool goes in Race 5. The Spot Plays are in Race 1, Race 3, and Race 8. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 1 (6:45 PM EDT)

4-Zebs Krafty (6-1)-Came off the bench and raced against this kind after being off a month. Wasn't handeled aggressively, rallied to finish 2nd and will look for better here. Draws a choice post and does good work at Yonkers (12-3-3-2). When Jordan Stratton steers for the Jared Bako barn he posts 21% winners. Could be sitting on a big try and at 6-1 is well worth a swing.

4-7-1

Race 3 (7:25 PM EDT)

6-Coalford Topguy GB (10-1)-Joe B takes the lines and should be a juicy price facing straight $40k claimers. This is the 1st start off a claim, and this outfit posts 18% winners in that spot. This will be a challenge but did wire the $30k claimers on 8-27 and drew off by >3 lengths. Has the gate speed to get the top and this pilot knows how to make them go and last until the wire.

6-1-3

Race 8

4-Railroad Station (9/2)The recent winner at this level comes off 2 dull tries. Beat this kind 3 back from post 4 with Tyler Buter between the pipes. Took command off the gate, that same plan may work again and will be a better price than 4/5. Also, pace compromised in last and did go the back half in 55.1 with a 26.3 last panel. Tonight, the fractions should be honest, and a 57.1 opening half shouldn't happen.

4-3-1
