BEST BETS: 25 - 52 / $97.10
Race 1
(5) SPORTING THE LOOK moves back to the $12.5k claiming ranks where he was a sharp second two starts back; threat for the win. (1) FOR A BETTOR TIME gets post relief and that should help his cause. (6) MAJOR BUBBLES N should be in the right spot tonight and Brennan signs on to drive; watch out.
Race 2
(4) THE LAST CHAPTER Trotting gelding leaves the Sire stakes ranks for a much better spot and good to see Bartlett with the assignment. (5) MR MONTGOMERY comes by way of Canada off an easy score last out; dangerous. (7) LORD NELSON has wheeled off two straight victories at Monticello and he must be considered in the exotic picture.
Race 3
(3) AMERICAN ALIVE She now moves to the 3-hole and if she gets a favorable trip, the rest will have to settle for minor awards. (2) FOUR HOUR NAP has been facing Open foes upstate and she can be right in the swing of things. (4) NEVER ANY DOUBT was sharp in victory in her Saratoga finale; don't overlook.
Race 4
(2) BULLVILLE BREN put in a good effort at Monticello last time around and this pacer figures to get back to the winning groove with his return to Yonkers. (3) MY SPRING FLING has good speed and was a game winner at Goshen recently; threat. (7) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA Canadian invader could make some noise in here; watch out.
Race 5
(3) VICEROY HANOVER moves down the ladder and has tactical speed so with a well judged drive this gelding can make tonight a winning one. (2) R CAAN moves back to the 2-hole where he was a sharp second two trips ago; big factor. (1) ABBEYLARA rallied strongly to nail down the victory in his Pocono finale.
Race 6
(7) ARCH CREDIT Sophomore trotter was sent down the road last out for all the glory and he seems to be in great form; two straight is clearly not out of the question. (3) JACK VERNON Easy winner at Philly last out and now he will try the half-mile oval; big player. (2) COOGAN Sharp for win honors recently at Philly; not out of this.
Race 7
(1) LIVE ON did not fire in his last try at Philly but now he makes his return to Yonkers and gets class relief; the pick from the fence. (2) STARZNHEAVEN comes back downstate where the last time this 5-year-old was here he got the job done via the pocket on May 4th; dangerous. (5) PRINCE ASTON will need a better trip than in his last start at Vernon; maybe.
Race 8
(3) CADILLAC PHIL was dull in his last two at Philly so now this gelding is back at the Hilltop where he just missed the victory by a nose; gets the call. (1) WAKINYAN closed well to lose glory by 3/4 length at the Big M last time around. (7) ZIGGY SKY gets class relief; post hurts but he is capable.
Race 9
(1) JK PATRIOT fits with this group and getting the rail slot should get this gelding into the winning groove; worth a shot. (3) HEEZ ORL BLACK N Gelding will need a favorable trip to contend with these; possible. (2) YO CHEYENNE ROCKY put in a mild rally for the show spot last time out; beware.
Race 10
(2) HI HO STEVERINO is knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post. At his best, he can top these. (4) HOLDINGALLTHECARDS did show some speed in his latest and could be right in the mix if given a better trip. (3) WE THINK ALIKE was facing Open foes at Saratoga last time around and this should be a much better spot for him to contend.
Race 11
(3) UNION MAN HANOVER was used up in the early stages last out at Monticello and now the gelding returns to Yonkers where he does have a fondness for. (1) MR BLISSFULL has put in three sharp efforts at Monticello and he draws the fence; main danger. (4) URBANA BAYAMA Based on his last two this 7-year-old is knocking at the door; watch out.
Race 12
(1) CHEYENNE ROBIN was late on the scene to land the fourth spot and now she moves to the rail in hopes to get the job done over these; quite capable. (5) ACEFOURTYFOUR ALEX has four seconds in a row and she figures to be dangerous in here. (2) VELOCITY LANA was sent down the road in his last start at the Meadowlands for all the glory; not out of this by far.
