2026 MEET STATS: 93 - 333 / $652.02 (-$13.98) BEST BETS: 22 - 35 / $70.76 (+$0.76) SPOT PLAYS: 8 - 35 / $108.62 (+$38.62) BEST BET - QUALITY KID (4th) SPOT PLAY - ALWAYS A STORY (8th) Race 1 - 40000CLM Trot (3) WARRAWEE WHISPER was a handy winner in his debut for this stable last week and drew the same post tonight, so I'll stick with him again on top. (5) IRA WHO defeated NW10000L5 base class foes in his last appearance on 4-24 and races for the leading driver/trainer tandem. (2) SKY BOX didn't get involved from the six-hole last Thursday but moves inside on the gate tonight, and I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to aggressive tactics. [DRF HARNESS: Get Harness Eye PPs for this card] Race 2 - 25000CLM Pace (2) TELITONTHEMOUNTAIN finds a much more reasonable-looking spot here than the class he's been in since his last victory on 4-7, and he also gets significant post relief for the top driver/trainer duo. (4) KARLOO BRADLEY N slides in on the gate after he's had the six-hole and the seven-hole in his last two efforts, and he posted four straight on-the-board finishes at this level from March 11 through April 9. (1) DELIGHTFUL DUDE N is a second-timer for these connections off a third a week ago and moves inside to the pole position tonight. Race 3 - Invitational Trot (5) TAKE ALL COMERS turned in an improved performance last week by closing from sixth to third and obviously showing more gate speed is an option with this horse as well. (3) SOUTHWIND COORS just missed by a nose last Thursday and gets to team up with Yannick Gingras again. (4) ASTEROID just held off SOUTHWIND COORS to prevail a week ago and should have every chance to be on or near the lead again. Race 4 - 40000CLM Trot (1) QUALITY KID owns back-to-back wins after he held sway on the front-end last week and starts from the pole position against another beatable group tonight. (4) BO SILAS gets to move in on the gate from the seven-hole to post four this time and shows a pair of recent runner-up finishes against $40,000 claimers. (6) JAS BLUESTONE starts from the outside but has been sharp other than the one miscue on 4-23 and debuts for new connections off a claim. Race 5 - F&M 20000CLM Pace (3) BOUT DAMN TIME A closed with pace in a runner-up finish in her last try on May 2 and won in at this level on April 9. Toss in some post relief, and I'll give her top call. (1) IDEAL SKIES enters with back-to-back victories and also tallied on 4-1. She debuts for new connections off a claim with post relief to go with it tonight. (7) ILLUSION SEELSTER tired after getting mixed up in a battle on the front-end last Tuesday but was favored in that race and gets a driver switch to Jason Bartlett for a stable that's been sending out live horses aplenty lately. Race 6 - NW20000L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW11 PM Races LT / 60000CLM Trot (2) GREEN PASTURES rallied to come up half a length short of winning on 4-30 and was pushed three-wide before three-quarters to boot. He moves in on the gate tonight and gives the leading driver/trainer combo another contender on the program. (1) KAZIO DK is now up to four straight victories after he won again a week ago and starts from the pole this time. (5) MAHONE SEELSTER owns a couple of recent wins in this class and closed well after sitting on the pylons in a runner-up effort last Thursday. Race 7 - NW20000L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW11 PM Races LT / 60000CLM Trot (3) P L OSCAR checked in third in the high-quality edition of this class won by Kazio DK last Thursday and gets reunited with Tyler Buter tonight. (5) ZENMEISTER S posted a couple of seconds in the John Brennan Series before he got derailed by post eight in the final. He returns to Yonkers here off a fourth in a fast race at Harrah's Philadelphia most recently. (4) CANTSTOP YANKEE got the nod from Joe Bongiorno over my top selection and prevailed at this level on 4-23. [DRF HARNESS: Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter] Race 8 - F&M Invitational Trot (3) ALWAYS A STORY came up just a nose short of winning the John Brennan Series final in a big effort and has hit the board in six of her last seven outings overall for a high-percentage stable. (6) PAYBACK MONI was a handy victor at this level a week ago and has co-owner Gingras at the controls again tonight. (4) GLUTES HANOVER prevailed in this class three times in April and was second to PAYBACK MONI last Thursday. Race 9 - 15000CLM Pace (1) ROCKET FREIGHT starts from the pole tonight and has run into a couple of well-meant victors in his last two outings. He gets a new driver with Brent Holland taking over against a more wide-open group and hopefully he can map out a winning trip. (4) I'M SOME GRADUATE took one shot against $20,000 claimers and now drops back down to the level where he had three straight wins in April. (3) J B GRAM gets a driver switch to Bartlett from an improved draw and hit the board in this class two and three back.
