MEET STATS: 244 - 992 / $1,516.60
BEST BETS: 43 - 87 / $165.00
Race 1
(3) BULLVILLE KYLE is knocking at the door based on his last three starts; the pick. (1) AMERICAN VENTURE came up the fence for win honors last out; dangerous. (2) CARD SHOCK will need a better trip in order to contend with these; maybe.
Race 2
(1) HES A CASTOFF is back on the rail where this trotter was a game winner four trips ago; gets the call. (3) BASTILLE's last try was not bad in his Philly finale; player. (5) NOBLE WARRAWEE got the job done against lesser recently; don’t overlook.
Race 3
(5) DRIVE EM COWBOY makes his return to Yonkers where he has done his best racing. At his best, he can top this group. (1) TOTALLY DREAMY gets post relief and that might help his cause; we shall see. (4) HOWMACSBLACKJACK was a game third last out at Saratoga; watch out.
Race 4
(4) I DANCE U PRANCE is on a roll scoring her second straight victory. She can keep on her winning ways if she minds her manners. (1) ROCKN RUBY N took the pocket route on her way to victory in her Freehold finale; contender. (2) MEDIA QUEEN N drops in class and gets post relief; not out of this.
Race 5
(4) NORTHERN DALI put in a good effort in her latest and now gets class relief; can boss these. (1) KEYSTONE WANDA was sharp in her last try and that seems to be an indication she is knocking at the door; big threat. (7) VILLAGE JESSICA took home second prize last time around; could have a say in the outcome.
Race 6
(5) PERSEVERANCE just missed the victory by three-quarters of a length. Trotter fits well against this select group and with a comfortable trip, he can greet the cameraman for pictures. (3) LOOKINGFORAMIRACLE could not get to the winner in her last start, but was very sharp for second money; player. (1) STARLIGHT AS has done quite well at the Red Mile and he now moves his tack to the hilltop; not out of this.
Race 7
(5) OUR REGAL IDEAL N just ran out of gas in his latest, but this pacer seems to be in good form; ready for action. (1) FIVE CARD DRAW N raced evenly to take home show money in his last start; contender. (4) BIG JER was nailed for glory in his last trip to the post; don’t overlook.
Race 8
(4) MACS SECURE closed well to grab the place spot last time out. Mare seems to be heading in the right direction. So with a comfortable trip, she can make tonight a winning one. (8) GLAMORGAL was sharp for the victory in her recent outing; post hurts, but she is capable. (6) AMERICAN ALIVE has hit the board in her last five tries; watch out.
Race 9
(2) PARNU HANOVER is the speed of the speed and now he moves to Yonkers where he's had better success; down the road. (5) SIR MACHALOT posted two good outings; right in the mix. (1) MOONLITEONTHEBEACH took the pocket route on his way to glory recently; beware.
Race 10
(3) ARABELLA J is 0 for 23 this year, but the good news is she catches a weak group and just missed the score last out by a half-a-length; gets the call. (5) CANACO STAR showed life in her latest; player. (1) MAYA SCAPE should fare better from the fence; we shall see.
Race 11
(3) MUSCLES ON FIRE is a proven winner at the Hilltop and his last three starts show he is fit and ready to take these to task. (2) SOUTHERN CROSS just missed glory by a nose last time around; big threat. (4) HILARIOUS HERO took home top prize via the pocket last time out; factor again.
Race 12
(2) FCEE N finally gets post relief after a dull effort in his last trip. Gelding lost win honors by a head two starts back, so with a fine-timed drive he can get the job done. (4) BETTOREVER was sharp in the pocket for win honors in his Philly finale; quite dangerous. (1) BEAST MODE rallied strongly to lose glory by a length; watch out.
