Race 1 - F&M 20000CLM Pace

(3) POINT BREEZE closed well in a third-place finish against $20,000 claimers a week ago and gets to team up with Braxten Boyd again here from a much better post. (6) TH RIZZO drops out of the $30,000 claiming class for a high-percentage stable and was Jason Bartlett's choice. (5) SWEET SANDY has been racing well outside of the one start where she got parked out on August 22. She moves in on the gate from the eight-hole to post five tonight and Joe Bongiorno takes over with Bartlett opting off.

Race 2 - NW2/33106LT Trot

(1) YOU AND ME won the last time she raced at this level on 9-16 and she squeezed into this event by a dollar under the lifetime earnings cap. (3) B TOTALLY NUDE owns a victory in this class back on August 8 and has three second-place efforts in five tries since then. She moves in on the gate from the seven-hole to post three this time. (2) MAGIC VOLO gets significant post relief and another chance to partner with Tyler Buter off a line where he trotted a good final quarter.

Race 3 - Winners of 5 but not more than 7 PM Races or 90000LT / Winners of 2 but not more than 4 PM Races or 60000LT Draw Inside Trot

(7) MY PHILOMENE will have to overcome the outside post but comes in with four straight victories, including in her New York Excelsior Series final, and she won in the New York Sire Stakes at Yonkers on 8-25. (5) APEX TRACKER broke most recently but was on a run of finishes in the exacta prior to that and gets reunited with Lauren Tritton. (2) MONI MAN is just one-for-25 in the win column in 2026 but has shown the ability to hit the board in this class, including last Wednesday.

Race 4 - 3-6YO 30000CLM Pace

(3) HUNT ME UP posted a couple runner-up finishes against NW5s for his current connections at Harrah's Philadelphia in September and now comes up to Yonkers from a good post and gets Bartlett in the bike. (1) THE WICKED ONE moves in on the gate from post six to the pole position off a fourth against NW10000L5s on 9-22 and won at Pocono prior to that. (2) PAXAMILLION owns a victory at this level back on 8-3 and was second last Monday. He makes his third start on Lasix and trainer Bongiorno re-assumes the driving.

Race 5 - Winners of 2 but not more than 4 PM Races or 60000LT Trot

(2) DOLLAR DRAFT came up a little flat on 9-30 but he was off a sick scratch in that event and had a bad post. Here he drew inside, gets Bartlett in the bike and won in this class on both 8-29 and 9-5. (4) MISTY BLUE prevailed at Yonkers on August 22 and September 5 and returns tonight off a second to the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes champion in a division of the Keystone Classic at The Meadows. (1) ROYAL CAPTAIN has been in the exacta in all three of his appearances since he came south from Canada and also tallied at Woodbine Mohawk Park on the 21st of August.

Race 6 - F&M NW2/30000LT Pace

(5) LOVE ON THE RUN blew the doors off NW1 foes at Harrah's Philadelphia in her debut on 9-24, and I'll look for the same result here as she doesn't meet up with the toughest group. (2) COME ON BARBIE won at this level at Yonkers on September 30 and has been outside the trifecta only twice in eight overall starts in 2026. (1) SEASIDE JUDY was second to a well-meant favorite in this class last Wednesday and gets to start from the pole again with Yannick Gingras in the bike.

Race 7 - 20000CLM Pace

(1) SAILBOAT HANOVER was facing tougher $30,000 claimers from the eight-hole when last seen and won at this class the last time he raced in it on August 5. (5) MIND HUNTER takes a second crack at this level after he cut the fractions and wound up fourth a week ago. He moves in a couple of notches on the gate here and races out of a stable that's hot. (2) CASINO ACTION N didn't fire last Wednesday but gets to partner with Bartlett again from another inside post, so I'll toss him in underneath.

Race 8 - F&M Winners of 2 but not more than 4 PM Races or 63787LT Pace

(1) MONTE AMORE doesn't show any recent success but starts from pole off a mid-pack and outside post since she came down from Canada, and her final quarters in those miles interest me enough to give her a shot. (3) PRECISE N showed some talent in a trio of outings in Pennsylvania back in May and June and now returns to action with co-owner Gingras in the bike. (7) DRUNK DIAL has a bad post but hasn't been outside the trifecta since she joined this stable during the summer.

Race 9 - 15000CLM Pace

(2) BETTORBUCKLEUP fired home in 27 4/5 last week when Colin Kelly took over the driving, and he's at the controls again here from a better post and against a fairly wide-open field. (5) WELL THAT'S MARKY has just one finish outside the exacta in his last seven appearances and debuts for new connections after being claimed again last Monday. (1) IM A POWERPLAY A starts from the pole and hasn't missed the trifecta since he returned to action in late August. He is back in the stable he finished third out of on the 16th of September off a re-claim tonight.

Race 10 - NW7500L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW5000L5 Pace

(3) OUR SWEET DELIGHT A drops out of the NW10000L5 class and gets a bit of post relief to go with it. He's winless thus far in 2026, but he was third two back, and I think just needs the trip to work out to get the job done. (6) UDDERLY SWEET A was second in the same NW10000L5 event my top selection exits and trainer Bongiorno takes over the driving. (2) BRUTALLYHANDSOME A came in third at this level most recently and gets to team up with Bartlett again here from an improved post.
