MEET STATS: 217 - 968 / $1,621.60 (-$314.40) BEST BETS: 50 - 97 / $217.98 (+$23.98) SPOT PLAYS: 8 - 97 / $92.50 (-$101.50) BEST BET-CHIPPER DALE (7th) SPOT PLAY-B NICKING (3rd) Race 1 - 15000CLM Pace (2) CONTACT ZONE moves over to this class off a closing fourth-place effort last Wednesday with a strong final quarter. He moves in on the gate from post six to the two-hole and is worth a shot. (6) AMERICAGREATAGAIN won when he dropped to this level a week ago and races out of a stable that's putting a lot of live horses on the track overall. (1) MAJOR POCKET A saw his run of on-the-board results end last week but returns to the pole position tonight, and that should put him back in contention. [DRF HARNESS: Get Harness Eye PPs for this card] Race 2 - F&M 20000CLM Pace (2) SP DANCINWITHSTARZ has hit the board in four of her last seven outings and advanced from seventh to third in the final quarter of her mile last Thursday. She gets post relief and a driver switch to Yannick Gingras off that performance. (5) KISSIN JOE doesn't have a great win record this year but drops out of the F&M $30,000 claiming level and that merits inclusion on the ticket. (4) I LOVED HER FIRST crossed the wire first a week ago but was placed for racing inside pylons coming into the lane. She races out of a high-percentage stable and moves in a couple of notches on the gate. Race 3 - NW20000L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW10 PM Races LT / 60000CLM Trot (1) B NICKING tired last time out at the Meadowlands but has won two of his last three local tries and gets to start from post one rather than the eight-hole he had across the river. (2) SEVEN REPS invades from Pocono off a victory and he did well last year on the half-mile track at Freehold as he won all four of his appearances there. (3) BELLISSIMO FACE S qualified well behind the classy Sir Pinocchio on 11-14 but hasn't been seen since then and wasn't Gingras's choice. I'll include but only underneath. Race 4 - 15000CLM Pace (6) MY CARBON COPY A rallied from seventh to second in the back-half of his mile last Thursday and gets to team up with Gingras again for a high-percentage stable. (2) OVER THE HORIZON overcame a difficult trip to win a week ago and now has three straight victories at this level at Yonkers. (5) FULL SUPPORT is just one-for-20 in the win column in 2025 but has finished outside the exacta just once in his last seven trips behind the gate. Race 5 - NW7500L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW5000L5 Pace (5) MOVIN' ON UP didn't get involved from a bad post in his first start for these connections last Tuesday but catches a wide-open group here and hopefully he'll turn in an improved performance. (1) GDS THUNDER GB drops a notch on the ladder off a fourth against NW10000L5 base class foes on 12-3, moves inside to the pole position and was Austin Siegelman's choice. (4) BITCOIN HANOVER posted a third against NW10000L5s most recently and slides down tonight. He also gets a new driver with Brent Holland taking over. [DRF HARNESS: Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter] Race 6 - 15000CLM Pace (8) MUSCLE BART A drew the eight-hole but he's overcome this post to win against $15,000 claimers at Yonkers before and gets to team up with Gingras. (3) KILOWATT KID N has now racked up six straight on-the-board results after a third last Thursday. He has tended to finish underneath more than on top in 2025, and I'll slot him second. (2) ROCKINBILLY'SDREAM owns two victories and a third at this level since late October and gets some post relief this time. Race 7 - 40000CLM Trot (3) CHIPPER DALE is the king of this class as 2025 winds down with four wins in his last five tries. He gets post relief off his most recent victory last Thursday and races out of a red-hot stable. (1) WILLY WALTON didn't appear to have much of an excuse last week as he was well-rated on the point but faded to third. He has had plenty of success at this level before, though, and starts from post one. (4) FOR A DREAMER should have picked up some confidence as he rallied past WILLY WALTON to tally a week ago and he also posteda  third on 11-13. Race 8 - F&M 20000CLM Pace (3) EBONY LADY prevailed two back and then had no shot from the eight-hole last Tuesday. She should get back into contention from the three-hole here and hopefully with some kind of value. (6) BIG CITY DAISY is now up to three straight victories over $20,000 claimers after she tallied again a week ago, and she gets to partner with Gingras for the second time. (2) RACIN FOR ROYALTY crossed the wire second last week but inherited the victory via placing. She's sharp overall as she has four on-the-board finishes in her last seven appearances. Race 9 - NW24901L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW10 PM Races LT / 60000CLM Trot (6) THE HAZELTON was scratched sick on 10-30, performed badly on 11-13 and hasn't been seen since. However, he squeezed in this race by $1 as he has $24,900 earned in his last five starts, and you get the Gingras/Ron Burke tandem. I'll swing. (4) AUSTRAL HANOVER has won in his last two tries in this class and debuts for new connections tonight. (3) DOROTEA TRIO IT returns from Harrah's Philadelphia after one effort down there and just missed at this level on November 20. Race 10 - 40000CLM Trot (2) CROWN MONARCH hasn't done much since a win and a third back in October, but he adds Gingras for Engblom from a better post against a wide-open group. (3) BLUEBIRD BISHOP made a break last week but was sharp prior to that and hopefully he can avoid another miscue here. (4) CANTSTOP YANKEE has been second in four of his last seven trips behind the gate and moves in from the seven-hole to post four. Race 11 - F&M 20000CLM Pace (1) IRIS SEELSTER starts from the pole here after she had the six-hole a week ago and gets reunited with Jim Marohn Jr. She's been in the top three in five of her last seven outings, and she won at this level on 10-23. (4) WHO'S PERFECT posted a third from the eight-hole last Thursday and gets significant post relief tonight. She also has Gingras at the controls again for Engblom. (3) YOU BEDA ROCK romped to a victory last week, but when she tallied on October 15, she wasn't able to keep up that form in subsequent weeks. I'll take a stand against tonight.
