Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card to begin the week. The $1.00 Pick 5 has a $10,000 guaranteed pool and starts in Race 5. The Spot Plays are in Race 4, Race 5, and Race 7. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 4 (7:45 PM EDT)

4-Railroad Station (5/2)-The Burke trainee has been close versus this kind in the previous 2 races, and this should be the last start in this condition. Left hard from post 7, got on the engine and was caught at the wire to lose by a nose. Tyler Buter returns and could try to work the same plan of getting control off the car. But this time could do a better job of rating the mile and not go 27.3 in the 3rd quarter.

Race 5 (8:05 PM EDT)

4-Tricky Captain N (7/2)-This 5-year-old likes to compete and won 2 and 3 back versus this kind. Comes off a win against the same kind on 10-18 at Philly. Should be forwardly placed throughout and could double up with a top effort. Can get the job done on the engine or coming off cover. Similar to the program choice #3 Shine A Light (5/2) but will lean here off recent form and more value.

4-3-5

Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)

7-Whichwaytothebeach (4-1)-Will fade #2 Ballroom Affair the tepid 5/2 choice who steps up and is a 3-year-old facing older. This veteran should offer a fair price with the move outside. Matt Kakaley has the gate speed to be no worse than in the pocket around the first turn. The veteran has won 8 of 36 at Yonkers and could add to that total if things go well when the wings fold.
