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 4, Race 7, and Race 9. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 4 (7:45 PM EST)

5-Karloo Bradley N (5/2)-The 10-year-old is popular at the claiming box and makes its 1st start for the Laterza barn. Comes off an efficient trip win and Brent Holland sticks. The 8/5 program chalk starts next door in post 4 and will likely get the top but this veteran could be following in the pocket. Holland knows how to push the button at the right time and will expect a good response.

Race 7 (8:45 PM EST)

6-Resilient (5-1)-Joe Bongiorno has the tactical speed to use and should be a threat at a square price. Could get the top and might be able to steal a quarter, if so, could be difficult to tackle. Does fit well with this crew, and the last time seen at Yonkers cashed checks versus better. Ships back after 2 races at M1 and fell short in both. Burned money at 1/2 in last and should be a much better value this time.


Race 9 (9:25 PM EST)

5-Twin B Fresh Bet (5-1)-Went off at 3/5 on 10-13 versus similar, had issues and was pulled up. Requalified on 10-30 going gate to wire with tonight’s pilot Brent Holland aboard. If 100%, has the gate speed to be on top or in the pocket around the opening turn. Will assume issues have been solved and when Holland steers for the Johnson barn, he has posted 5 wins in 13 races.
