Yonkers: Sunday 11/15 Analysis
MEET STATS: 359 - 1072 / $1,984.50 BEST BETS: 53 - 86 / $185.50
Best Bet: SING OUT (7th)
Spot Play: RURAL ART (9th)
Race 1
(2) ZOOMING never made a move from post eight last week but Buter should be much more involved from this spot. (1) RED HOT HERBIE was last week's Open winner off a nice trip and he lands inside again with this open draw; likely favorite. (4) SWISHNFLICK bumps to the top level but is razor-sharp.
Race 2
(2) CAN DO really hasn't put in a bad effort for trainer Jody Riedel and the class relief combined with the good post makes him a player. (5) SEVRUGA has speed and is a threat to go all the way. (9) APPOMATTOX ships in very sharp for Burke and only needs to navigate a second-tier start.
Race 3
(8) SKATES N PLATES returns locally and while roughed up when last seen here he's got enough early speed to find a good spot; consider at a price. (3) CLEMENTINE DREAM drops after going evenly with better and she was Dube's choice. (9) I'M FABULOUS looks for two straight but will have to get it done vs. better.
Race 4
(6) LUCKY COLBY took a bit of money and broke leaving last week versus better; the drop in class can get the Garcia-Herrera trainee over the top. (2) MASSIVE TALENT tired last week after being used early and battling most of the way; threat with an easier trip. (3) OUTBURST takes a needed drop in class and draws a better post.
Race 5
(9) ZOEY DE VIE tried to brush over Not Afraid last week and couldn't clear then faded badly. The same move today will get him the front and he may never look back. (4) EXPRESSIVE ACTION took money but broke last out; effort three back was solid. (2) WINEMASTER HANOVER qualified effectively and could be considered underneath at a price.
Race 6
(4) BRICKYARD TOOTS had some decent early and late speed last week vs. better for Ray Baynes. With any sort of smooth trip she should power home. (5) ALEXANDER LUKAS has had some decent local efforts in the past and should fit well with these. (7) TAC'S DELIGHT returns locally in razor-sharp for Allard and MacDonald gets the return drive today.
Race 7
(4) SING OUT has found his stride in a big way and is coming off a lifetime mark; DiDomenico trainee can take another. (3) CAPTURETHEMEMORY was an easy winner vs. similar last week but this mare likes to break every other start so proceed with caution. (9) PIG HUNT actually raced very well three back locally and could threaten at a price.
Race 8
(4) SIGN TO INVERELL A drops in class and could get the best of this camera-shy group. (1) CHARGER BLUE CHIP gets needed post relief and looms a big threat, but has just one win on the season. (5) MIDNIGHT DYLAN N did all the dirty work battling uncovered last week and didn't tire that badly.
Race 9
(5) RURAL ART takes a big drop from the tough Open 4YO class and Sears should handle him aggressively. (1) TERROR TIME A was a good second at odds-on three back vs. better and the Cassar trainee draws best. (3) SAND BENELLI showed good energy last out after a series of flat efforts.
Race 10
(1) STATION THREEOHSIX had a smooth trip last week but never fired his best; he draws the rail in this competitive field and looks like as good an option as any. (3) UF ROCKIN DRAGON was well driven to victory last week by Mark MacDonald and he can certainly repeat. (6) ELECTRIC CHAPEL A is erratic but the talent certainly is there.
Race 11
(7) MOVEOUTOFMYWAY has put in two aggressive efforts since returning locally and there's not much early speed in here; I have a feeling he'll take some sneaky action at the windows. (1) GRAND MASTER has been okay, draws best and certainly is logical. (3) SIMPLY BUSINESS should be good for a share from this spot.
Race 12
(2) JAY BEES GRIN N arrives from Down-under and chased a tough Mosquito Blue Chip in that qualifier; he could be ready at first asking in this very tough-to-figure event. (4) SHADOW PLACE raced well considering the tough trip last week. (6) GALACTIC GALLEON N is one I've been following but he lands outside again and may have too far to come. (5) ULTRA SHOK N is another Bamond improt making his U.S. debut off a decent qualifier.
