The rail is set at 53 feet, so a front running score is possible. 1 SHE’S TRIPPIN will race with the blinkers off after stalking the pace before weakening to finish fifth behind the top choice. Trainer Jeff Engler, 2 for 5, with an $8.72 ROI, with the blinkers off move, has apprentice Pedro Pena in the saddle. 5 COUSIN PAMMIE is eligible to show more with a clean start after ducking out prior to finishing a five-wide fourth vs $25,000 maidens going this distance on the grass.

Leonel Reyes rides. SELECTIONS: 2-6-4RACE 3:2 GUS SWAYZE moves to the Carlos David barn via the claim and cuts back to seven furlongs on the dirt with blinkers added after stalking the pace and finishing fourth in a stamina tweaking outing going a mile on the turf. The barn, 19% with the surface switch, tabs Miguel Vazquez to ride. 1 COMMENDATORE, a sharp $35,000 maiden winner at the distance two starts back, drops to the $17,500 level after breaking thru the gate, vying for the lead before fading to finish last vs $50,000 starter optional claimer going six furlongs on a good track. 3 SURFER’S JOY is stepping up after becoming a two-time winner when he defeated $8,000 two lifetime claimers going a mile. Heather Smullen has Yolber Torres in the saddle. SELECTIONS: 2-1-3RACE 4: MANDATORY PAYOUT RAINBOW 6 BEGINS1 NOBLE PRIDE, a half-brother to hard-knocking local runner Noble Drama, stretches out to a mile after chasing the pace and finishing third going seven furlongs. Trainer David Fawkes finds an ideal spot to step this gelding up from $35,000 maidens to special weight competition. 5 WORDONDASTREET is making his first start since prompting the pace and finishing fourth at this level and distance in May. Trainer Amzadali Jehaludi has Miguel Vazquez up. 6 MARILYN’S MATE will try a mile after the needed six-furlong debut in which he broke slowly and was forced to wait for another day. Trainer Mike Lerman has Mario Gutierrez named to ride. SELECTIONS: 1-5-6RACE 5:7 KATE THE SMATE, a voided a claim last out, hopes to make amends after setting the pace and weakening late to finish third – as the favorite – at this level and distance. The recent workout, although it’s on the slow side, indicates she’s ready for the task ahead. 1 LOOKS TO KILL is dropping to the $8,000 level after following a second-place finish at the $12,500 level with a late running fourth vs $16,000 two lifetime runners last out.

SELECTIONS: 5-1-6RACE 7: $3 PLAYERS LATE PICK 3 BEGINS3 IGNIS COR is cutting back to five furlongs after getting fanned wide when finishing second in front of this familiar competition going 5 1/2 furlongs on Tapeta. Victor Barboza Jr adds second-time blinkers for this assignment. 2 THE COROMOTO is turning back after tracking the pace and weakening to finish fifth behind the top choice. The cutback to five furlongs should help her cause. 1 WINNING DEFENSE will depart from the rail after rallying to finish third behind Ignis Cor and in front of The Coromoto last out. As Yogi says “I can be deja vu all over again. SELECTIONS: 3-2-1RACE 8:10 NOBLE J is stretching out to a mile after the pair of sharp sprint efforts in which he was second to next-out stakes’ winner Langvad two starts back with a victory vs state-bred allowance runners going seven furlongs. David Fawkes has Micha Husbands named to ride. 8 LATCH THE HATCH, a five-time local winner, is stretching out to a mile for the first time after the consistent sprint campaign for trainer Joe Orseno. He can steal this race if left lone on the front end. 2 NOTHINGSUBTLE is back in a competitive spot after following a well-meant second at this level and distance two starts back with a poor showing in a $70,000 overnight handicap last out.

Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool starts in Race 5. 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)4-Finvarra A (6-1)-The grinder drops and should fit nicely with this group. Came home in 55.4 in last versus this kind and went off at 40-1 from post 7. Not expecting those odds but should be a juicy price. Could land in the pocket behind the program chalk #2 who is stepping up. If Jordan Stratton fires out the Dilloian entry it could be the best down the lane.4-2-1Playing #4 Finvarra A to WinRace 6 (8:25 PM EDT)1-Laser Speed (4-1)-Has fallen short against better but on 6-23 wired this kind from the rail. Drops, Brent Holland steered then and sticks here. Has taken 4 pictures in 20 races at YR and history could repeat itself.Playing #1 Laser Speed to Win1-2-5Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)6-Control Rocks (5-1)-PcD invader makes its Yonkers debut, takes on older but should fit. Had broken equipment last time and still came a close 3rd. This isn’t the deepest field and may have the tactical speed to get the top or the pocket off the gate. Colin Kelly should have the pedal down and could win at a square price.Playing #6 Control Rocks to Win6-1-2Check me out on X!

When you dive into a card and prices jump out, you get excited. That could be the case on Sunday at Del Mar, where an 11-race program features the Grade 2 $250,000 Eddie Read. Formidable Man is 7: 6-1-0 at Del Mar and a legitimate favorite to defend the Eddie Read title he secured at 4-5 odds last summer. But it’s the undercard that offers lucrative opportunities. First post is 5 pm ET / 2 pm PT.Each day this summer at Del Mar, I’ll be handicapping the action with my top plays on the card – including full-card selections for a featured program each week (this week’s full-card came Saturday).Del Mar: Race 1 | 5:00 pm ET#8 Corporal Violette (6-1 morning line odds) comes from an obscure jockey-trainer combo, which helps insure a good price. But note she won this condition in October and like many of the Starspangledbanner offspring does excellent work on this turf course. Love the second-off-the-layoff and sprint-to-route form cycle; she upset at Santa Anita at 8-1 the last time trainer Mark Rheinford sharpened her in a sprint prior to routing. Win-place bet #8. Picks 8-1-4-7Del Mar: Race 2 | 5:32 pm ET#1 Bello Rosso (15-1 morning line odds) gets a longshot look with a chance to show some rail speed if allowed to cook early. Resisted restrained last out in his first route and Kyle Frey gives him his best chance if able to get into gear in a short field without a ton of early pace. The offspring of Violence move way forward at Del Mar (20% wins, 19% profit in recent years coming into this meet). None of these proven at the distance and likely favorite, #2 Van Gogh Style, has failed to last on the lead in his last 2 shots. #3 Mickey (by Gem Heist) also bred for Del Mar success. Win-place bet #1. Exacta box 1-3. Picks 1-3-5Del Mar: Race 6 | 7:40 pm ET#7 Boracay Miss (20-1 morning line odds) doesn’t look like much on paper, but perked up with some speed in her last 2 and catches a weak field while getting some weight break with the apprentice. Omaha Beach offspring are a sharp 23% winner over the Del Mar dirt in recent years coming into the meet and note trainer Jeff Bonde’s first 4 starters this stand averaged 10-1 odds and included a pair of runners-up. Win-place bet #7. Exacta box 7-5. Picks 7-5-11Del Mar: Race 8 | 8:40 pm ET#4 Lovely Medaglia (12-1 morning line odds) is 2-for-2 sprinting and wasn’t embarrassed vs. tougher in a turf route last out. Back to a very winnable level and offspring of Gato Del Oro continue to outrun their odds and have positive showings on this main track. The rest of the field hasn’t had any local success and little experience as well. Win-place bet #4. Daily Double 4-8 to Formidable Man in the Eddie Read. Picks 4-8-3

The racing week in Saratoga Springs concludes later today with a ten-race card where older female sprinters take center stage in the Honorable Miss (G2). The six-furlong affair over the main track goes as Race 8 and makes up the center leg of the late Pick 5. It's also the final day of the Trifecta-Thon promotion from 1/ST BET and Xpressbet. Here are a couple spot plays I like most later this afternoon in New York, as well as my thoughts on the feature.Race 1:The Sunday slate kicks off with this MSW event for 2YOs over the Inner Turf where eight first-time starters are entered in the main body of the field. This includes some runners for some of the country’s most highly regarded barns, but I will try to beat them with #1 Kipros. The son of Oscar Performance is out a Thunder Gulch mare that won 6 of 16 in her career, including her first two starts over the Santa Anita sod. She was versatile and relished two-turns, while almost all of her foals’ successes have come over the grass. That is exactly what Kipros gets along with a favorable inside draw to kick off her career for trainer Ray Handal. Handal does not excel with debut runners, but deserved better a summer ago with a talented 2YO turf colt in Heeere’s Johnny. Hopefully, he gets some revenge with this $150k Keeneland September ’25 purchase.Play: #1 Kipros (8-1 ML)Picks: 1-3-6Race 8: Honorable Miss (G2)There is plenty of early speed signed on in this year’s Honorable Miss given the presence of #1 Maida, #3 Striker Has Dial, and odds-on favorite #6 Grand Job. Grand Job comes in off of two brutal nose losses in graded stakes races, including during the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival where she lost by a nose 3-5-favorite Ways and Means. The Justify mare clearly has issues that do not allow her run often, but when she competes in the afternoon’s she means business. The outside draw should allow Junior Alvarado to stalk just off the two inside leaders and take control when they turn for home. The bigger question is who picks up the pieces? #4 Haulin Ice will likely to take the most action underneath Grand Job in the exacta pool, but I am going to try to get a bomb into the number instead. #5 Going Steady ships in from Kentucky for trainer Robbie Medina. The Constitution filly comes into New York in the best form of her career having won a first-level allowance in Louisville five weeks ago. She is almost certain to be outrun early, but her running style gives her a big chance to pass a number of tiring rivals late. Hopefully, it is good enough for second or third.Play: Exacta 6-5, Trifecta 6 with 2+3+4 with 5Picks: 6-5-3Race 9:My final play of the week comes in this $130k allowance at 6.5-furlongs over the main track where Qatar Racing’s #4 Senior Officer is likely to be a significant favorite. The son of Into Mischief is lightly-raced, but has never been worse than second. The Brad Cox conditioned gelding won his first start over this surface last month when nailing longshot Contrary Thinking at the wire. He is a solid favorite, but not unbeatable, so I will take a small swing against with #5 Sacrosanct. The Linda Rice trainee makes his second start of the form cycle after a runner-up finish in a state-bred turf race in late June at Aqueduct. Rice sports extremely strong numbers over the years when making the move from grass-to-dirt and this guy’s effort two-back over the main track was a strong one. Manny Franco has been riding well this summer thus far and retains the mount on the former Cox runner.Play: #5 Sacrosanct (6-1 ML)Picks: 5-4-8

Running Aces has a 12-race card with the $50,000 Dan Patch Final rolling in Race 8. The Free-For-All also starts the 0.50 Pick 5 that has of $45,280.68 carryover and a Forced Payout. The Spot Plays are in Race 9, Race 11, and Race 12. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 9 (8:56 PM CST)8-Fifty Rivers (7/2)-Left from the 7-hole last week and rallied from the backfield with a 56.1 back half to finish a close 2nd. The outing wasn't typical, usually is racing on the point once the wings fold. This time comes back in sequence and will look for an aggressive steer from the word-Go. The 2nd program chalk should offer a fair price, and its Aces record is difficult to ignore (7-3-2-2).8-6-4Playing #8 Fifty Rivers to WinRace 11 (9:40 PM CST)1-Banker's Grace (9/2)-The 5-year-old likes to get on the engine or race close to the lead. She wins off that kind of trip and having the rail should help execute that plan. Gets needed post relief, fits, and this is the level where a picture can happen at a square price.1-4-5Using #1 Banker's Grace in a Win BetRace 12 (10:02 PM CST)2-Fox Valley Ozzy (4-1)-Ozzy has been leaving from the outside against tougher and can't win that way. Tonight, starts from a comfortable level where a win could happen. Gets an inside post draw so Gary Rath can find some live cover and push the button at the right time.Playing #2 Fox Valley Ozzy to Win2-3-8Check me out on X!
