RACE 1 - (4) ART HISTORY was claimed last week when he had to pull up due to an equipment issue -
the last time we saw this barn change was with More Than Many, who went from a long series of "no
factor" efforts, to winning from Post 8, as the favorite....deja vu? (1) MACHTU N could be looking at a
pocket trip from this spot, and he does have several decent Monti tries recently - definitely a chance to pick
up a good piece tonight. (2) BARGAIN SHOPPER was good 3 back, disappointed in his next, then was in
a no chance spot in last - moves inside, and could easily land somewhere on the ticket. (3) CARTERS CAP
ER was racing well upstate, and was able to rally nicely for 2nd here last week behind the standout winner -
can be part of the equation tonight if he lands on a decent trip. (6) NOBLES FINESSE raced ok from well
back on 7/2, then held as best he could in last after chasing the winner's hot pace - definitely a chance to
outperform that 20-1 ML price. (5) WILD WEST had nothing to offer for a new barn last week, and goes
for another new trainer tonight - definitely prefer others. (7) FRANKIE ROCKS is 16-0-0-3 over the past 2
years and draws outside - remains a pass. (8) NORTHERN ROCK ships in showing poor recent form and
lands Post 8 - will just be observing for tonight.
RACE 2 - (3) TAX SAVINGS didn't really take any money for his local debut and was unable to ever get
involved in a quick mile - finds what feels like a better spot, hails from a sharp Canadian outfit, and may be
a much bigger player tonight. (5) SVF CASH DEPOSIT went a big mile for 2nd (against better) on 5/26
(off the claim) but started to fall apart soon after that - seems to be headed back in the right direction now
and could be a very live player...but since he's currently 0 for 20 on the year, don't take too short a price on
him. (2) SHARED INTEREST A gave it a good try on the front end in his local debut, getting run down
late by the trip sitter - looms a very live player once again. (1) TORKIL looked like he was starting to
finally come around a while back but his form has tailed again, and he's now 0 for 18 on the year - willing
to use underneath. (7) SHOWMEYOURGUNS always finishes well enough to make him a tempting play
the following week, but he's now up to 0 for 17 this year - remains an "underneath only" horse, especially
from Post 7. (6) PETERS EXPRESS just never has had much success here at Yonkers - needs to show a lot
more. (4) TEDDY BROSEVELT looks quite a bit cheaper than the main players. (8) BINGO QUEEN
lands all the way outside again in her 2nd start off the layoff.
RACE 3 - (4) ADDI THREE gave it a big try in her only YR start, parked all the way to the half from Post
8 before clearing to the lead, then hanging in right to the stretch before finally tiring - returns to YR from
Stga. off a mile where she was badly shuffled, moves to one of our top trainers, and looks like a good value
play at that 8-1 ML price. (2) SOCIETY JILL was stuck making a long first over move last week but stayed
game right to the end, a close 3rd - chance to take this with an easier trip. (7) GETTING GONE broke here
as the odds on choice on 6/16, then ran off the course in her next, while sitting the pocket on the final turn -
has settled down since then, and does have the ability to be a threat here...assuming a clean journey! (3)
KEYSTONE DELIGHT was too far back to threaten in her YR debut but gets post relief here, and seems to
be a good fit with these - possibility. (6) HURRIKANEMYSHANNON almost managed to steal one on the
front end last week - a few in here seem better, but she can certainly grab a piece. (1) KIANNA has speed
and the rail and goes from Clegg to Bartlett - looks a bit cheaper than the main players, though. (8) EYES
DONT LIE raced a bit better last week, but Post 8 figures to slow his progress tonight. (5) LOUD
BRAZILLIAN has disappointed many more times than he's delivered - prefer others.
RACE 4 - Tough race! (2) KISS THE CAPTAIN showed ability at 2, and ended her season with an easy
Chester win before getting turned out -- came back on 5/7 with an impressive 1:51.4 score to start her 3YO
year, was 2nd in a TSS race the next week, but suddenly just went bad, stopping BADLY in her next pair -
hard to gauge anything from that qualifier but IF they've solved whatever the issue is, she should be able to
handle these easily...but that's a BIG if! (4) DEL DIGGITY has gone a few good starts here, and returns off
a 2nd at Chester - one of several possibilities should the top one just fail to function again. (7) BEACHBLA
NKETLINDY paced a big final quarter last week, just missing 2nd - she's 0 for 8 this year, but hit board in
7 of those starts - willing to use her, but only at a decent price. (8) FRENCH SHAKER just held 2nd over
#7 last week, and definitely is a good fit here...has to find a way to overcome Post 8, though. (5) HIPHOP
MOMMA struggled in her first 10 starts but has really picked up her game in the last 5 - ships down having
won 3 of her last 4 at Stga., and we'll see if that good current form can hold up here in Westchester. (3)
SANTAFES MJ is still learning the game, pacing evenly most weeks - maybe can improve enough for a
piece? (1) UPTOWN CALLIE is just 1 for 34, but definitely can pick up a small piece from this spot. (6)
CRAZY COOL was going well a few months ago, but she comes into this with just one start in the last 5
weeks, and it wasn't a good one - will wait for better signs.
RACE 5 - (2) KASHA V raced from Post 8 off a bad date last week so we'll just excuse that effort - was
right there vs. NW15000 3 starts down, and this bunch is clearly in his comfort zone - looking for a big
effort from this spot. (7) KINDA LUCKY LINDY definitely hasn't been on his game lately but he gets a
drop and a fresh set of hands, so maybe that will perk him up a bit (on his game, he could easily beat these).
(1) GREY will be making good use of her speed from the rail, and should be a player all the way - hard to
pick on top as the 5/2 ML favorite with her owner driving, however. (8) UVA HANOVER finished strong
from a hopeless spot on 7/7 - looking at another difficult trip, but at least the price will be very long if
looking for a live bomb. (5) DESWANSLITTLELORIE steps up off last week's win, but did get 3rd at this
level on 5/31 - willing to use underneath. (3) FOMOR hasn't been going well lately, but he does reverse
form at times - prefer others, but wouldn't be shocked to see him perk up here. (6) ZAGSTER has raced
well twice since returning to YR in a new barn -- tough spot from Post 6, though. (4) SEVEN KNIGHTS
has disappointed far more than he's delivered, lately.
RACE 6 - (3) BYE BYE MICHELLE doesn't drop to this bottom level very often, and her last start (vs.
much better), was actually very good - have to believe she'll be able to capitalize here. (4) SALLY FLETC
HER A has been pretty in and out this year but she should have some confidence returning from a good try
at Chester - can pick up a good piece here with any of her better efforts. (1) ROSE RUN VICTORIA was
able to improve to 5th at the start last week and would have had a chance to be a player....if not for her
making another costly miscue - the talent is there IF she behaves...but hard to take a short price knowing
how risky she can be. (5) FEAR MY SHADOW has been doing some good work at this bottom level - an
easy trip would give her a chance to land somewhere in the exotics. (6) WOODMERE HARRIET used
easy trips the last 2 weeks to pick up smaller pieces - might be a bit harder from Post 6, though. (8) SPEAK
TO SIRI drops to a better level, but gets no luck with the draw - not sure she can find a way into the mix
from out here. (2) AMERICAN TOUR N just isn't finishing her miles well enough to use right now -
waiting to see a better effort before endorsing again. (7) LOOKATMYART draws outside for her YR return
and doesn't seem sharp enough to overcome it.
RACE 7 - (1) DELITFULCATHERIN N was sent off at 1/5 for her U.S. debut and she delivered the
victory....but definitely had to work a bit harder than the public was probably expecting - she has a new
listed trainer for tonight (her regular trainer is out for 30 days for a Glaucine positive earlier this year), but
the guess is that it won't really matter...should be a short price winner for the 2nd straight week. (8) SEA
OF LOVE BC gave the winner a late tussle last week in an excellent 2nd place performance - her barn is
going strong right now, and she's worth using in exotics (again), even from Post 8. (5) JANE DIAMOND
came up 3rd best behind a pair of solid rivals in her YR debut - can use her speed here for an up close trip,
and another good piece of the purse. (2) AVAYA HANOVER is inconsistent, but throws good efforts from
time to time - include her underneath. (4) ROBMOTION BLUECHIP does her best blasting off the car,
sitting a close up trip, then sticking around for a share - may do just that tonight. (3) BEAUTY BAYAMA
seems to vary in performance from week to week - can land on the ticket if she brings her best...but there's
no guarantee that she will. Both (6) IDEAL HANNAH and (7) CHELSKI figure to have a hard time ever
getting into the race from their outside slots.
RACE 8 - (5) E R HILARY has a lot of valid excuses recently but last week she just wasn't any good - the
price will be better now, and she probably deserves another chance. (1) CORAL BELLA has struggled
since returning from Indiana but last week she did hint at some life - draws best, and will probably be
handled far more aggressively now...we'll see if she's up for it. (3) PAMMY JO is the rare horse to just go
backwards after entering this normally very successful barn - may wake up here down at the bottom level,
but wouldn't be willing to BET on her at a short price. (4) MADAME LEZAA used easy trips to pick up
small pieces in her last pair - maybe she can do that again tonight? (2) GLENFERRIE BRONTE N showed
little in her YR return but figures for a pretty good trip tonight, and may be able to parlay that into a minor
share. (6) SWEET MOVES picked up a 3rd and 4th after shipping in - throw her in for 3rd/4th, if spreading
in tris and Supers. (8) SWEET YOU is 23-0-0-0 here over the last 2 years and now has to deal with Post 8.
(7) BETZIESBOOKINIT arrives from PA showing some pretty poor current form - will pass, for now.
RACE 9 - Difficult race: (1) VASARI N has been very in and out recently but any of his "good" efforts
would make him a legitimate threat from this spot - he did grab a win here last year, and this is a field with
no standouts. (6) HITMAN HILL will surely take plenty of action and it's hard to blame the public for
jumping on the hottest team in town (winning an astonishing 33% of their starts since June 1st) - does
seem somewhat vulnerable off a pair of "ok" 3rds, though. (4) MACH TIME N qualified well behind an
Open pacer, and his trainer was red hot on Tuesday night -- would think that he'll need a start or two, but
couldn't blame anybody looking to use him, at a decent price. (8) FURIOUS BEACH wasn't bad in those
NW4 starts, and is probably a good fit here....other than the horrendous post! (3) WESTERN HILL is now
1 for 46 over the past 2 years but he does grab his share of decent pieces whenever the trip works out - use
underneath. (2) ZACH MAGUIRE N has been having a tough year so far (14-0-0-3) - seems his best asset
here is the draw (prefer others). (7) BILBO HANOVER might be okay from an inside post, but figures to
have a tough time from all the way out here, (5) IWONTDOTHATAGAIN is struggling - pass for now.
RACE 10 - Another tough race: (1) STICK WITH ME KID has been facing much cheaper than the rest of
these recently, but he's also shipping in very sharp - he certainly has the back class to handle better, and the
rail draw can only help his cause - one of several possibilities in here. (4) KENOGAMI COCO hinted at
legit ability in his starts here this spring but had trouble behaving himself - seems to have really smoothed
out over in PA the last 3 months, and could be very dangerous tonight if he handles the track better than he
did previously. (5) BANK BOX TREASURE has just one YR start and it was on 6/9, when he lost by the
slightest of noses - could easily get over the hump and into the winner's circle here. (2) IN MY DREAMS
rarely races the same way twice, but this could be a good spot to follow closely, and stick around for a good
piece. (3) HUNTING AS moves up off an ok 4th last week - gets some post relief, and he could pick up a
nice share with a live trip. (6) DRAZZMATAZZ hit the top last week and never looked back, easily wiring
cheaper - will probably have to do it from behind tonight, but a live trip could still see him grab a good
piece. (8) EURO GAP landed in a tough spot for his YR debut and will find this crew more to his liking -
unfortunately, he may need to wait for a better draw before we see his best stuff. (7) WHETHER OR NOT
FI was unable to get involved last week, and faces the same dilemma tonight.
RACE 11 - (4) WAKEMESHAKEME just never looked right 2 back in a rare clunker - was handled very
conservatively in her last, and did look good coming across the wire - capable of beating these, on her best
effort. (3) MY CAM GIRL has done good work since arriving locally for a small, but currently successful
barn - another with a chance to take this if she brings her best. (1) ELLAGATOR was a good earner at 2
and 3 despite only 3 wins - just 1 win so far at 4, and debuts for a new barn tonight after a few weeks off
(upon arrival from Ohio) - would be no surprise at all, but she does figure to be overbet. (2) SOMEBEACH
SOMEFRA hasn't been all that sharp, but the inside draw may allow her to tow along for a small share. (5)
ROLL ON MAMA throws a clunker every now and then but has still compiled a strong 18-4-5-3 record
this year - ok for a small piece. (6) SPECIAL ACHIEVER returns off a couple of sharp Monti scores vs.
much cheaper - just 1 for 20 at YR, but does pick up smaller pieces - ok to include underneath. (7)
FOLLOW YOUR NOISE is the outsider....both literally and figuratively.
RACE 12 - (3) STATEMENT MADE A certainly appreciated the class relief at PcD, scoring easily as the
prohibitive 1/10 favorite - technically "moving up" tonight, but has more than enough back class to handle
any of these - solid choice in the finale. (2) WHITTAKER N put in good moves in 2 of his last 3 starts
before weakening - if he can time his move a bit better, maybe he can add some value to the exotics? (1) P
H KENNY raced "ok" the last couple of starts - solid chance to land somewhere on the ticket from the pole.
(5) JACKAMINO has a win and 2nd in his last 2 starts at this level - another that should be included on the
bottom of exotics. (4) ROCK N TONY may have to race from off the pace this time but that may actually
work out better for him - ok for 3rd/4th. (8) THISJETSABOOKIN is now 0 for 20 here over the past 2
years after faltering on the lead in last - won't get any easier from Post 8! (6) DOCTOR BUTCH just
doesn't throw enough good efforts here anymore - prefer others. (7) MACINTOSH N figures to be too far
out to threaten this week.
