Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card with the $1.00 Pick 5 starting in Race 5. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. The Spot Plays are in Race 3, Race 6, and Race 9. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 3 (7:25 PM EDT)

5-Coalford Topguy GB (7/2)-Rolled home in 56.1 to beat this kind on 9-28 after a 9-21 claim. Comes right back and did beat a couple from this field last time. This is a competitive sort and will rely on the Joe B barn to keep clicking. Should offer a fair price and will respect chances of doubling up but the trip might be tricky. Can fire out when the wings fold and there are a couple with good gate speed who start inside. Needs a sharp steer, and if so, could be posing again.

5-4-1

Race 6 (8:25 PM EDT)

8-Lillbliss (6-1)-Jason Bartlett sticks after coming 2nd versus this kind. The post helps the price and has the gate speed to upset if things fall into place. The Petter Engblom trainee is an interesting play from this post, and this will be the 3rd start after a judges scratch and hasn't been used hard off the gate. The wrapper could come off tonight. Bartlett could beat this field by only improving position when the wings fold and not having to get on the engine around the opening turn.

8-1-5

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

7-Young Bluey A (15-1)-Price shot came a decent 4th in the first race following a sick scratch. Jordan Stratton returns and he posts 28% winners for the Jarred Bako barn. Stratton knows how to get a horse rolling down the lane and this race should have an honest pace. The veteran could close fastest of all.
