BEST BETS: 9 - 26 / $54.30
Race 1
(5) DONAU has good early zip and he did get the job done here on 2/19; the pick. (3) TOATSMYGOATS will be on the engine as far as he goes; main danger. (1) WILD AGAIN should do much better from the fence; not out of this.
Race 2
(1) FASHION CREDITOR raced decently at the Meadowlands and now he moves his trade to Yonkers and gets the luck of the draw. Can top these if he is at his best. (2) ZAGSTER will need a better trip than in his latest; capable. (5) DEO raced evenly in his last trip for third money; factor.
Race 3
(7) QUITE A DELIGHT N did not race badly in her last try. Gets a tough post but she seems to fit with these and Bartlett is keeping the faith. (3) A CRAFTY LADY gets class relief and that should help her cause. (5) ANNABETH took the pocket route on her way to glory last out.
Race 4
(5) MILLIONDOLLAR WAVE seems to be heading in the right direction and the gelding knows how to win at Yonkers. Can take this if he is able to get a clean getaway. (2) RURAL ART was sent down the road in his last try for the victory; threat again. (1) STATESMAN N will need a better trip then he had last week, but the good news is he moves to the rail; watch out.
Race 5
(5) KAITLYN N is clearly knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post. Mare can boss these with a well-judged run. (7) DONT THINK TWICE A was a sharp second to older mare of 2018 champion Shartin N. Could be a handful despite the move to door number seven. (3) NEWBORN SASSY did put in a mild rally for fourth money recently so she might be coming around; respect.
Race 6
(3) TWINKLE is heading in the right direction and was a game second in the series last week; can make tonight a winning one with a well-timed drive. (8) APPLE BOTTOM JEANS is on a roll scoring her third straight victory; dangerous despite the move to the 8-hole. (2) WRITE ME A SONG did race well for the show spot in her last try; do not overlook.
Race 7
(8) WISHY WASHY GIRL is seeking that elusive 2019 score and the mare has the positional speed to grab an ideal stalking trip. Gets the call with Bartlett at the controls. (2) OCEANIA closed well to get up in time for win honors last week; main danger. (5) WESTSLUCKYCAM is more effective when she is on the lead; must be respected.
Race 8
(3) IDEAL LIFESTYLE A was sent down the road in his latest for the victory. Mare is in sharp winning form, so with that said two straight is clearly not out of the question. (5) BETTOR JOY N was nailed for win honors as the odds-on favorite last week; can make a quick turnaround against this select group. (4) GOLD ORCHID N could contend with these with a favorable trip.
Race 9
(8) SHARTIN N made her 2019 debut a winning one just holding off Don't Think Twice a last week. She will be a handful once again despite the move to door number eight. (2) DELIGHTFULMEMPHISN just got up in time for the victory last time around; big factor. (4) FEELIN RED HOT was a sharp second in the series recently, so she has every right to be in the mix.
Race 10
(1) MASTER THE VIEW has two good efforts in a row and this gelding now moves to the rail. Could greet the cameraman for pictures with a well-judged run. (4) SPORTS BETTOR gets serious post relief and that should help his cause; threat. (6) CLASSY DRAGON was a easy winner against lesser last week; could have a say in the outcome.
Race 11
(1) JAG OUT did show early pace in her Dover finale, so now she moves back to Yonkers where she got the job done on 3/8; choice. (2) BETTOR TRIX N should find this group to her liking. (4) LYNBAR ROSE N must have been used up in the early stages last time around, but she does have tactical speed to rate off the early leaders; not out of this.
Race 12
(2) BELLATRICKS moves down in class and that is a good sign given that she had a victory on 2/22. Can mow these down with Holland at the helm. (6) BETTIM JACKIE goes back to her winning condition and she does have the tactical speed to rate off the early pacesetters; main danger. (4) KAY'S DELIGHT must be respected with Bartlett getting the assignment; watch out.
