Race 1: F&M $20,000 Claiming Pace

(2) STONECOLD GIRL and (4) MC ANGEL are a couple of veteran mares who almost always show up with an honest effort regardless of what barn they are in. Slight edge to #2 with the post edge and some faster recent efforts. (1) SP DANCINWITHSTARZ hasn't done much in the last couple of months but she moves all the way inside and picks up Bartlett.

Race 2: 3-5YO Winners of 5 not more than 7 races or $90K LT Pace

(4) KWICK SAND A put in a big effort in defeat last week and overall has established himself as a quality overnight warrior; top billing with the experience edge over arriving import (1) CONFEDERATESTAR N, who was much-improved with that recent win at The Big M in his third state-side start and picks up the top driver in his Yonkers debut. (2) TITO N CHEDDAR has raced well but still needs to get over the hump at this level.

Race 3: 3-5YO Winners of 1 not more than 4 races or $60K LT Pace

(1) FORWARD FLASH gets a post edge tonight after a tough loss and should be all-systems-go tonight. No excuses accepted. (2) TELITONTHEMOUNTAIN was able to rate in his second local start and also second with the leading trainer and he drew away with ease; faces a bit better looking to repeat. (4) THE FAMILY MAN clearly has ability based on the $235K earned in his first two seasons but it's been tough going this year.

Race 4: F&M $50,000 Claiming Pace

(2) YS SENSATIONALCITY is routine selecting for me again drawing well coming off a well-rated win. (1) BRI EXPRESS N draws her first inside post for these connections after a string of tough spots. Stratton trainee did beat similar three back from off the pace. (4) ACCESS GRANTED may need a drop in class to show her best but she still merits respect coming from top connections.

Race 5: NW20041 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) HEZA RISK TAKER A needs to show some improvement making his second start after arriving from Australia but that was an honest effort when nailed in his debut. Import likely does have more to offer. (6) IKNOWBETTER has raced well in three seasonal starts without a victory to show for it and can offer some value starting from the outer part of the gate. (3) ALL CLASS is now third-time Lasix and three starts overall where he was lacking in the late stages. Maybe Bartlett tries stalking mode tonight.

Race 6: NW10000 in last 5 starts Pace

(4) PEACE OUT POSSE drops back down and catches a softer field for this class; classy veteran has had consistently good last quarters and can be close enough to strike from this spot. (3) TAHUYA DEVIL had no chance in his last two but finished with pace both times and now drops down and draws a much better post. Harris trainee is the one to beat with Bartlett driving but will likely be slammed at the windows. (1) TWIG draws the rail again which means his early speed will be on display.

Race 7: F&M $25,000 Claiming Pace

(1) MAYBEMABEL jogged three back when last at this $25K claiming level; new pilot tonight with the catch-driving Kelly in the bike in a perfect spot to resume winning ways. (3) IDEALINFUN hasn't won in some time but she also drops and has had some decent efforts recently at the $50K level. (7) DW'S DARLENE gets Bartlett in the bike on the barn change after the DiDomenico claim and she's got early speed to try getting into play.

Race 8: NW7500 in last 5 starts Pace

(2) C-BET HANOVER has been dull recently at the $25K claiming level but the Laterza veteran shifts to a lower conditioned class and also draws better after having two consecutive outside posts. worth a peek at his 15/1 ML. (4) DONTTELLMENOW finally picked up a win last out and will be favored looking to repeat up a notch in class. (7) THONG CONTROL may be too far back to threaten for the win but the Lachance trainee is capable of picking off a few rivals for a share.

Race 9: NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace

The two inside horses are pretty similar - loads of back class, big seasons in 2025, can't really get untracked this year, drop to the lowest class. (2) MANFERNO returns from Dover, rejoins the Adamczyk barn and beat NW15000 when last at Yonkers. (1) MUSIC HALL was 16 for 37 with $180K earned last year and hasn't been awful recently, just needs a wakeup call. (4) AUSSIE HANOVER finished third last week at a price, could do so again.
