2023 MEET STATS: 459 - 1293 / $2,374.10 (-$211.90) BEST BETS: 67 - 122 / $218.90 (-$25.10) BEST BET: MORNING HAS BROKEN (4th) SPOT PLAY: SHEIKH YABOOTY N (11th) Race 1: NW5000 in last 5 starts Trot (5) PERFECT VIXEN went a decent clip upon arrival from Saratoga and faltered late. Second start for this barn and back in on a 7 day rotation could be the factors that make this mare trotter a winner. (2) STICK WITH ME KID is not really an uncovered type like last week's tiring effort but if he can sit a pocket trip and shake free he should be right there. (1) DAGON HANOVER was no match facing better last start; class relief should help. [DRF HARNESS: Get Harness Eye PPs for this card] Race 2: F&M NW12001 in last 5 starts Pace (2) COWGIRL LILLY has been second or third in six of last seven starts so saying she's overdue would be an understatement. Mare definitely stacks up with these class-wise. (5) PURE SILKY also hasn't seen the winner's circle in a while but she's had some good efforts here chasing better and looms the one to beat with Bartlett at the controls. (6) EASY TO PLEASE and (7) MILLWOOD BONNIE N are both loaded with class but stuck outside. Would be no surprise to see one or both have some sort of impact on this race. [DRF BETS: Wager on tonight's Yonkers card at DRF Bets.com!] Race 3: F&M NW20000 in last 5 starts Pace Good to see another horse out of that terrible accident race back on the track, as (4) MAN DONTFORGET ME returns. She fits right in with these in the class department and is versatile, giving new driver Jimmy Pantaleano options from this post. (7) MADRID A added Lasix last week and raced well to finish second to a strong rival. Needs early speed from Joe B for her best shot. (5) MCMARKLE SPARKLE hails from connections that are tough to ignore. Race 4: F&M NW7500 in last 5 starts Pace (2) MORNING HAS BROKEN finds herself at a new low and realistically she's supposed to brush and crush here. (7) I LOVE ONGAIT was hustled out to the lead last week by Brennan and she wired a softer field; Noel Daley trainee now has Bartlett and the strategy will likely be the same. (5) LADY NEWTON was second to #7 last start and she can land a share here from this midpack post. Race 5: $30,000 Claiming Pace (4) ANOTHERSTATEMENT A showed some late energy from the pocket last week and Kakaley figures to have him forwardly placed again. (2) HURRIKANEKINGJAMES is the other obvious player in here as he's been razor-sharp in all recent and has a post edge on most of his rivals. (3) QUATRAIN BLUE CHIP has been decent recently and now steps up a notch in price; he should be saving ground somewhere midpack and can shake free with late pace. Race 6: NW7500 in last 5 starts Trot (5) TIMESTORM has gone winning efforts here in the past with Stratton driving, and at levels higher than he meets here. Price should be decent with the inside rivals attracting most of the attention. (1) DRACO S hasn't been involved recently but rarely finishes far off. Class drop is key. (3) BARABOBBITT S never got close in his U.S. debut for the Bongiorno barn but he moves to a better post and we'll see if he gets into play. Race 7: F&M NW30000 in last 5 starts Pace (3) COACHELLABOUND N saw her big win streak end after hiking to the top level but she was still good. Mare took a bit of time off and seems freshened and ready to go. (5) TONY'S MOM faces a bit of a class test but was really dominating last week in the slop. (1) SILK CLOUD A probably needs a class drop to resume winning ways but she should be good for a share from this spot. Race 8: NW10801 in last 5 starts Trot (2) WILLY WALTON has woken up in a big way over the last two starts and should be sitting a live trip behind #4. Price will certainly be better. (4) B NICKING destroyed a softer field last week and is the one to catch again. (6) CALL ME DANI is a fresh face shipping in and doesn't have that much else to beat in order to land a piece. Race 9: F&M NW15000 in last 5 starts Pace (2) LUCKY ARTIST A is back in fighting form and we know she's got the class as she makes her way back up the ladder. I'm sticking with her again. (7) IDEALINFUN went well in her local return and Bartlett has left with her from the outside in the past. (3) OUR LADY LARA A returns from Saratoga off a good effort in their Open and was facing better when we last saw her at Yonkers. [DRF HARNESS: Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter] Race 10: NW15000 in last 5 starts Trot (5) STREET GOSSIP was driven with a purpose last week from the eight hole in his local return and though he flattened in the late stages it was a legit effort. Trotter faces some good rivals inside of him but should be a decent price and is worth a try. (2) HIGHLAND MOWGLI has been racing consistently versus better and the class drop could get him over the top. Burke trainee picks up Joe B on the catch drive. (4) KILIMANJARO NL took three U.S. starts to reach the winner's circle and now steps up looking to repeat. Race 11: F&M NW5000 in last 5 starts Pace (7) SHEIKH YABOOTY N hasn't been that sharp in four starts for the Trittons (Shane and Peter have both been listed) but she does face a softer field and picks up the leading driver. Import figures to be forwardly placed. (5) SHECOULDBEGOOD N gave it a speed try last week at The Meadowlands and was facing better previously at Yonkers. Another who's likely moving early. (3) GAME OF SHADOWS has been burning money recently, both here and at Plainridge. She needs to be a better price to seem worth including.
