The $175,000 Monomoy Girl Stakes honors the two-time Breeders’ Cup Distaff winner of 2018 and 2020. The remarkable filly won 14 of 17 with a trio of second-place finishes while garnering a pair of Eclipse Awards for trainer Brad Cox. That barn is back Saturday in this namesake race with another Eclipse Award winner, last year’s Champion 2-Year-Old Filly Immersive (pictured) She missed the first five months of the 2025 season, but returns Saturday with an eye at perhaps another run to a Breeders’ Cup title.Let’s meet the contenders for the 1-1/16 miles Monomoy Girl Stakes (Race 5):#1-PRINCESS ALIYAH: Two-time winner at Oaklawn this year tallied the Valley of Vapors Stakes for D. Wayne Lukas. Overmatched in the Fantasy, Eight Belles and Black-Eyed Susan in Grade 2 company, she should appreciate the drop in class. $1.2 million daughter of Into Mischief is granddaughter of 1988 Kentucky Derby-winning filly Winning Colors and looks to make her own mark under the spires. Half-sister to Grade 1 Alabama winner Eskimo Kisses, fourth in the 2018 Kentucky Oaks. She owns a bullet workout June 4 and lures Nik Juarez.#2-IMMERSIVE: Four wins in four starts last year included the Grade 1 trio in the Spinaway at Saratoga, Alcibiades at Keeneland and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar. She makes her first start of 2025 and first go-around at Churchill Downs for trainer Brad Cox, who last month won the Kentucky Oaks even in her absence with Godolphin stablemate Good Cheer. Manny Franco has been aboard in each start and returns to pilot the daughter of Nyquist, winner of the 2016 Kentucky Derby.#3-ANNA’S PROMISE: Kentucky Oaks fifth-place finisher remained in Kentucky since for Gulfstream Park-based trainer Carlos David. The $50,000 claim in February was runner-up in the Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Oaks and has rapidly improved since changing barns. Winless in 4 local attempts, but has a pair of second-place finishes at Churchill. Daughter of Grade 1-winning sprinter Promises Fulfilled, 15th in the 2018 Kentucky Derby after setting the pace. Luis Saez, aboard for a win and second at Gulfstream, reunites in the saddle.#4-MINNESOTA MUNNY: Well-traveled Munnings filly exits a Delaware Park allowance win and will be stepping up in class to face the toughest field of her career. She has won 2 of 3 this year, including a Turfway maiden mile in February and will be trying Churchill for the first time. Kelsey Danner trains and regular pilot Adam Beschizza reunites with her return to Kentucky.#5-RUNNING AWAY: This 2-time stakes winner of Aqueduct’s Busanda as well as the May 14 Horseshoe Indianapolis Handicap is a rare Wesley Ward route specialist. Gun Runner filly has won 3 of her last 4 since exiting turf bids to open her career. John Velazquez rode her to her maiden win at Churchill in November and returns to the saddle. Each of her wins has come wire-to-wire, so expect speed.#6-TAKE CHARGE MILADY: Winner of Oaklawn’s Honeybee and runner-up in Keeneland’s Grade 1 Ashland Stakes, she’ll try to rebound off a disappointing 12th of 13 in the Kentucky Oaks. Daughter of Take Charge Indy has bagged $400,000-plus off a $60,000 yearling purchase price at Keeneland September 2023. Brian Hernandez Jr. and Kenny McPeek provide a popular teaming at Churchill having swept the 2024 Kentucky Derby and Oaks.

Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 starts in Race 5, and it has a $2,945 carryover with a $10,000 guaranteed pool. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 7, and it will be my focus.Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)2-Street Hawk N (5/2)-Scott Blackler’s New Zealand invader keeps winning and moving up. This will be a test but could get an easy lead and this isn’t a deep group of Invites. Went gate to wire from post 8 last time and will be looking for the same trip tonight.7-Huntinthelastdolar (2-1)-Classy 5-year-old got on the engine from post 4 and beat this kind last week. Jason Bartlett will probably have to grind it out tonight. If anyone is going to catch the leader down the lane it’s probably the son of Huntsville.Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)4-Blue Lou (8/5)-Steps up after downing the last group with a gate to wire score and was bet down to 4/5. Shouldn’t blush at the competition and Bartlett will be aggressive off the gate again. Can get the top and take another picture at a small price.Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)1-Tobins Chester (5/2)-Raced well in all 3 starts for the Daguet barn since arriving from Mohawk. Last time, had to work to get on the point and then didn’t look back. This will be a bigger test but don’t sell the 4-year-old short leaving from the rail.3-Sling Shock (4-1)-Finished 2nd to Vici a well-meant winner in last. It probably didn’t cost him the win but was locked in on the rail and didn’t get out until the winner was gone. Needs a well-timed move to take a picture, and this could be the night because a pocket ride behind Tobins Chester looks like a good possibility.Race 10 (9:45 PM EDT)2-Twin B Powerball (5-1)-Like the rest of the field, wins have been difficult to come by. But this is the spot to take a picture, at this level with an inside post draw. Pat Lachance could work a cozy trip and roll by down the lane.4-Hungry Angel Boy (7/5)-Lightly raced 5-year-old has issues and is only 1-12 this year but has hit the board 6 times. Showed some life in last versus this kind, gets a positive driver change in Jason Bartlett and will look for better tonight.8-Brutallyhandsome A (9/2)-Beat cheaper handily in a nice 153.2 score. The odds-on winner will be a better price with this post draw and this is a suspect bunch. Comes off a win and has beaten better than this at YR not long ago. Using and will trust Jordan Stratton to do a good job.$2 Late Pick 42,7/4/1,3/2,4,8Total Bet=$24Check me out on Twitter!

Spencer Sunday best bets available in Xpressbet.com member’s section

After being shut out of horizontal wagers for the majority of Belmont Stakes Day, I am sure like me, many of you are champing at the bit to get back into them this afternoon. The good news is there are favorable sequences to fire at! Yes, in addition to a $2 Pick 6 carryover of nearly $55K at Santa Anita Park later on, there is a massive $241,646 late Pick 5 carryover at Churchill Downs that starts at 2:45 eastern time. So, let’s get right to it.Grade Descriptions: Grade A=Highest degree of confidence; Grade B=Solid Play. Grade C=Least preferred or pass; Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play.Race 5: Leslie’s LadyGrade: C+Main Ticket: 6 Evanescence; 1 EclatantBackups: NoneForecast: The carryover kicks off with one of the two stake races within the sequence. This 7-furlong affair for 3YO filles drew a few runners that competed last month in the Eight Belles (G2), including the two I will use.I was willing to fade #1 Eclatant before #3 Impulse Buy was scratched this morning, but the Into Mischief filly could be loose on the lead under Luis Saez. I do not fully trust her despite her potential pace advantage, but she could have things her way. Race shape aside, I much prefer #6 Evanescence though. The Eddie Kenneally barn has been rolling and this filly put in a strong run in the aforementioned Eight Belles despite a slow break from the rail. I like her chances quite a bit if she gets an honest pace to run at.Race 6:Grade: C+Main Ticket: 15 Perfect Figure 11 Myiyla; 12 Sweet KaufyBackups: 1 Bourbon Serengeti; 3 Mighty EriuForecast: I lack a creative and strong opinion in this 5.5-furlong turf dash for fillies and mares, so I will use several, including lukewarm top choice #15 Perfect Figure. The Caracaro filly needs to draw in off the AE list, but if she does, she appears live in her second start off the bench for Brad Cox. Last out she was caught in a tight spot early and behind horses late before finding a way to get up for third in the end. The move to the far outside should allow her to avoid traffic issues this time around. #11 Myiyla also makes sense after breaking her maiden in March despite being caught four-wide throughout over the Fair Grounds lawn. If they go fast, she should be rolling late.Race 7:Grade: B-Main Ticket: 7 Anthonian; 1 JustifreakBackups: 11 Honest Al; 9 GettinbyForecast: I am hoping to separate some from the public in this non-winners of two at 6-furlongs over the main track since I am against 3-1-ML favorite #3 Chance. The Tom Drury Jr. trainee has run some good races, but it has been a while since he has had his picture taken. This race is far more wide-open than the tote is likely to illustrate.I like #7 Anthonian most. The Randy Morse trainee came off a long layoff last November to break his maiden over this racetrack before being against the track profile in a pair of first-level allowance events at Oaklawn Park this winter. He has been freshened up and should offer great value within the sequence. #1 Justifreak is also a must use. He has run well in Louisville, but like some does not appear to enjoy it as much at Keeneland. Eddie Kenneally drops the Justify gelding in for a tag for the first time and legs up Ben Curtis.Race 8: Matt Winn (G3)Grade: C+Main Ticket: 7 East Avenue; 5 Burnham SquareBackups: NoneForecast: The Matt Winn drew a strong cast this year, but unfortunately it is going to be difficult to find value with just four going to the gate. Taking a stand of some sort though is important, unless you are taking more aggressive stands elsewhere.#2 Final Gambit, #5 Burnham Square, and #7 East Avenue are relatively equal, but 5-2-ML favorite Final Gambit appears up against it from a race shape perspective. The Not This Time colt has shown a tremendous turn of foot over the all-weather and ran an incredibly strong race in the Derby, but does not get out of the gate all that well. This is likely to leave him with too much to do late. Therefore, I will lean on likely lone speed #7 East Avenue and #5 Burnham Square, who should get a much cleaner trip than he did on the first Saturday in May. I would probably try singling East Avenue if there was not over $240k already in the pool.Race 9:Grade: BMain Ticket: 6 British IslesBackups: 7 Freedom’s WayForecast: The racing week and the Pick 5 concludes with a second-level allowance over the grass where there is not much early zip signed on. #9 Mena may try to flash speed in his first turf start, but I prefer those who should sit just off him or perhaps take control iff Mena does not take to the surface.#6 British Isles should find the perfect spot much like Flavien Prat did last out in his allowance win at Keeneland. Prior to that he was cost all chance when finding serious traffic mid-stretch. The 4YO gelding appears to have taken a step forward since trainer Richard Baltas removed the blinkers in March. I like his chances to make it back-to-back wins. If he is defeated, #7 Freedom’s Way could be the one who holds him off. The son of Declaration of War has not won in some time, but ran a very good second to Tucson at Keeneland in mid-April. A repeat makes him capable at 12-1 on the morning line.

  Specifically designed for the rolling exotic player, Jeff Siegel’s “What You Need to Know” isolates those horses that should be included in daily doubles, pick-3s, pick-4s, pick-5s, and the pick-6.For additional commentary, follow us on twitter @jsiegelracing.Grade Descriptions: Grade A=Highest degree of confidence; Grade B=Solid Play. Grade C=Least preferred or pass; Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 1: Post: 1:00 PT Grade: B+Main Ticket: 4-A Friend of MineBackups: 3-Time to Shine.Forecast: A Friend of Mined outrun her odds (14-1) when nosed out in a decent debut dirt sprint here last month and today stretches out to a mile in a below standard maiden special weight main track affair for fillies and mares. We’d prefer she had another sprint prior to running long, but the daughter of Mineshaft may be an okay sort at least and could produce a significant forward move in her second career outing. In a race lacking in speed, she should be forwardly placed throughout.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 2: Post: 1:32 PT Grade: BMain Ticket: 2-Check’s On the Way; 4-Letmein.Backups: none.Forecast: Check’s On the Way is a consistent gelding and appears to be most comfortable as a late running sprinter. Conditions are ideal for the S, Callaghan-trained sophomore to settle early and tag the speed close home. He’s listed as the 2-1 second choice behind Letmein (6/5), who finished behind our top pick in a similar state-bred dash last month.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 3: Post: 2:05 PT Grade: B+Main Ticket: 1-Nevada BeachBackups: none.Forecast: Nevada Beach: won at first asking in clever fashion like a pretty nice prospect sprinting for B. Baffert, and although moving right into stakes company and stretching out to a middle distance the son of Omaha Beach should be able to handle the class hike and added distance in stride. In a four runner affair with stable mate Gaming the 6/5 morning line favorite, we’ll prefer the longer price of the two with the colt that may have more upside.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 4: Post: 2:36 PT Grade: C+Main Ticket: 7-Full Moon Grazen; 4-Mo Town Gal.Backups: none.Forecast: Full Moon Grazen plummets to the $5,000 level and appears to have found her friends. Drawn comfortably outside, the S. Martin-trained filly lacks early speed but against this modest group and may be able to tag the leaders close home. Mo Town Gal is another big class dropper seeking her winning level. She’s a fit on numbers and seems likely to step forward in her second start off a layoff.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 5: Post: 3:06 PT Grade: B-Main Ticket: 3-BaldoroBackups: 5-Rastaman Vibe; 6-Promissio.Forecast: Baldoro was moved too soon by D. Herrera and paid the price late when winding up second after striking the front at the furlong pole but losing his steam in the final stages in a restricted $30,000 claimer last week. The short rest notwithstanding, the L. Powell-trained gelding can beat this field with waiting tactics. Both of his career wins were accomplished over the local lawn, and this shortened trip to a mile should be in his favor.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 6: Post: 3:38 PT Grade: BMain Ticket: 4-Go Go PrancerBackups: 2-Proud Racer.Forecast: Go Go Prancer was beaten as the favorite in his last two starts but his speed figures are rising and this drop into the maiden $50,000 level should prove to be the winning maneuver. However, at 6/5 on the morning line he won’t offer any real value other than as a short priced rolling exotic single.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 7: Post: 4:08 PT Grade: BMain Ticket: 2-Dicey Mo Chara (GB); 7-Genius Jimmy.Backups: 5-Spycatcher.Forecast: Dicey Mo Chara (GB) gets some class relief with this drop into the two-other-than allowance condition and should take full advantage of the opportunity. The veteran gelding has been in nothing but graded stakes events for more than two years, and while his form is solid and his numbers strong the L. Powell-trained import really is overdue for a win. This placement offers that chance. Genius Jimmy does his best on the front end and if he can establish the running without pressure he’s likely to get very brave.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 8: Post: 4:38 PT Grade: BMain Ticket: 4-NaidaBackups: 1-Misty Muppet.Forecast: Naida missed by a half-length and was 10 lengths clear of the rest in a similar restricted $16,000 claiming miler for fillies and mares last month. Anything close to that effort today should make her hard to beat at what probably be close to even money. However, with Del Mar on the horizon, the chances of her being claimed are quite high, leading us to believe that maybe her connections wouldn’t mind losing her, and that’s a bit of a worry.__________________________________________________________Santa Anita Race 9: Post: 5:08 PT Grade: BMain Ticket: 2-Vinalia (GB); 4-UnbindingBackups: 5-Thea; 6-Eiffel.Forecast: Vinalia (GB) just missed in a photo in a similar turf sprint for maiden fillies and mares in a performance that produced a career top number. She’ll be rolling late again. Unbinding finished a close third in her debut at Lingfield in England in April and makes her first start off the plane for M. Glatt, who does well with the limited number of European imports that he’s had. She looks like a live item in an open fray.__________________________________________________________

Northfield Park begins the week with a 15-race card. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool, and it will be my focus.Comments and selections are based on a fast track.Race 11 (9:40 PM EDT)4-Spaaaanazo (2-1)-Could get a good early seat and figures to be in the hunt. Will be a short price and this level might be a challenge. But should be respected and Aaron Merriman can provide a winning steer.6-Spitfire Oversees (8-1)-Has raced well in the last 2 starts after shipping in from Mea. Thestable.ca entry gets a new pilot in Tyler Angus and could be a threat at a price if kept within striking range.Race 12 (10:02 PM EDT)2-Jbmagic (15-1)-Looking for a big price and with an inside post draw the Tyler Bates entry is an interesting option. Has learned its lessons on the Fair circuit but has hit the board in all 3 starts at Nfld and has taken 2 pictures. Can get a good early seat and could surprise off an efficient trip.4-My First Fire (7/2)-Left from post 7 versus this kind at ScD and raced well considering the trip. Raced wide and hard to finally land on the point only to fade down the lane. Should be a threat at a square price with a less taxing journey.9-House Of Brix (3-1)-If the Jeff Smith pupil started from the inside, he would be a solid chalk rather than the tepid morning line favorite. Does good work on the point and probably won't get there when the wings fold. But is still the one to beat if lands in a close-up seat off the gate.Race 13 (10:24 PM EDT)4-Wicked Character (9/5)-The Burke trainee can string a couple of wins together and comes off a sharp effort for a picture. Steps-up and this level could be a challenge. The morning line seems too flattering but this post draw should help.6-Makin Some Noise (9/2)-Didn't leave last time and raced huge from the backfield to come a close 2nd. This race could set up differently. My guess is an aggressive steer is coming when the wings fold and that should make the veteran a major player.Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)2-Crosswinds Sweetpe (7/5)-This filly doesn't have big gate speed, and the entire field doesn't have much early speed. Austin Hanners should get the top easily from the 2-hole, then take control and not look back.5-Gotstopaymeinpapa (3-1)-Merriman is between the pipes and gets some class relief. Has only 1 win in 18 starts but can get a smooth trip with this post draw and may have met a beatable field.$1 Late Pick 44,6/2,4,9/4,6/2,5Total Bet=$24Check me out on Twitter!
