RACE 2 – (2) SCRIBBLERS steps up to 50s after a pair of wins vs. the 40s…but the ease with which he earned
those victories suggests that he may be sharp enough to beat these too! (1) TWIN B DELUXE can be forgiven for
being unable to rally last week into the hot :27.3 final quarter – he’s done plenty of good work this year, and we’ll
look for him to rebound with a big effort starting from the pole. (3) MULLINAX has been very sharp with cheaper
lately, and steps up off a nice pocket win last week – he does have the back class to be a player with these too, but
may be overbet after being installed as the 2-1 ML favorite. (4) DEETZY was an even 4th vs. better last week but did
pick up wins (over cheaper) just prior to that – a good trip puts him in play for a piece tonight. (5) BB LUCKY BOY
put together a pair of scary victories upon arrival from NJ but wasn’t able to make his speed show work taking on
the 50s last week – he may have that same trouble tonight (welcome back to Joe Bongiorno, returning to the driving
ranks tonight). (6) GENTLE GIANT is good right now but may find himself a little too far back to seriously threaten
this week. (7) RENAISSANCE DEO is another who fits well, but who may be post compromised

In tonight[4-hole]Race 5- in first division of leg one of the Borgata series. Tricky spot with that Chase H
inside of him. Not too many getting around him out of the if he's driven hard. If Purple Jesus
doesn't leave though, risks being boxed or first up. If he does leave, he easily could get  stung
hard or worse yet, hung the mile. My guess is he'll maneuver into the rail 3rd and just ride it
in this first leg. Very good Analysis from a plopters

RACE 3 – (1) SURFSIDE BEACH has held form beautifully for a long stretch, but has been settling for somewhat 
smaller pieces lately (facing some tough competition) – this feels like a spot where Stratton may be able to handle
him a bit more aggressively...pe rhaps with a chance to come out on top? (2) LAYTON HANOVER was a no threat
2nd last week but he did start from Post 8 and the winner was ultra well meant – he’s had plenty of success here in
the past, and remains a legitimate threat for tonight. ( ROCKIN JUKEBOX seems likely to race conservatively
from this spot and wait for a class drop (and better draw) next week…but IF the tote board suggests that he may be
“live” tonight, you may want to consider him on some of your tickets. Both (4) YOROKOBI N and (5) WINDSUN
RICKY are good right now and eligible to grab some smaller pieces here…but will need some racing luck to come
their way for a chance at the top slot. (3) CADILLAC BAYAMA is much better than he was earlier in the year but
still not close to his best…probably looking at only minor spoils. (7) SHAZAM BLUE CHIP is another that’s well
off his peak form, though racing “ok” at lower levels – tough spot for tonight. (6) GINGRAS BEACH will look
more appealing over the next couple of weeks as a win and a 2nd will be coming off the bottom of his card

RACE 4 – (4) SOHO DOW JONES A (now 4-2-2-0 in the U.S.) has a nice burst of speed and he was able to use it
perfectly last week, shaking free in the lane and charging by BLUE LOU into the :27.4 final quarter – Gingras gives
him a vote of confidence (sticking with him over #1) and we’ll give him the edge too. (1) HEZA CHARTTOPPER
A was definitely a bit opportunistic last week, taking advantage of an early pocket breaker, tiring frontrunner, and
somewhat indifferent VERDUN – that being said, he’s now won 4 of his last 5 starts, and is 8-6-1-0 here at Yonkers – deserves plenty of respect from the pole, with Zeron taking over tonight. (3) HEZ ALLTHE RAGE N has been
sharp for a long time, yet never seems to get much action at the windows – never a bad one for exotics, and maybe
even on top? (5) I DID IT MYWAY hasn’t had much success in a handful of local starts, but that was for a different
trainer – the 6YO does have 30 career wins and nearly $1.4M on his card, and his last couple at PcD suggest he may
be a player here too. (7) NANDOLO N has been terrific his year but he’ll likely be coming from last tonight, and
Bartlett did opt to drive #2 – maybe he can rally for a piece? (2) THE IDEAL DANCER A has been a very steady
performer since joining this barn last year but his last was a little dull, and he may prefer to be in just a bit easier. (6)
FUNATTHEBEACH N is feeling good right now, but the class jump and poor post may slow him down a bit

RACE 6 – MGM Borgata Pace, Leg 1: (7) COACHES CORNER conceded at the start in his first start of 2025 (in
NJ) but that race should serve as a useful tightener as he was only beaten by a couple of lengths – after going 7 for 7
here as a 3YO  he really elevated his game as a 4 year old last year, putting together an outstanding 25-7-11-3
season, banking $645K– willing to give him a try tonight, even from out here. (4) FOR ONCE INMY LIFE has been
hitting on all cylinders out of town for a long time, and was a winner in his only local start as well – hard to leave
him off your tickets in his current raging form. (5) HEMSWORTH N was a surprise leaver in his first start of the
year but tired badly – it must have tightened him up, though, as he did kick home full of pace last week…decent
bomb for the bottom of exotics. It’s hard to say (3) PLEASELETMEKNOW had a “bad” year in 2024 (he earned
$236K) but he did seem to disappoint as often as he delivered – hard to say how tight he’ll be, even after the 3
qualifiers. (1) FINVARRA A has been a model of consistency this year, and gets another good draw – could be
enough to help him take home a minor share. (2) DUNKIN can be forgiven for last week’s miscue (he’ll do that at
times) but the fact that he’s still winless this year is a bit more of a concern – not ready to use him on top at this
point. (6) LYONS STEEL should appreciate the switch to Gingras but still seems up against it with these
