Race 1 - 15000CLM Pace
(4) VESPA N loomed from first-over last Saturday but tired in the lane. I'll hope for a smoother journey here against a pretty wide-open group and driver Colin Kelly has been doing well on these Saturday night programs since he started coming to Yonkers. (5) DANCE ON THE BEACH held sway on the front-end in a $15,000 claiming event on 6-21 and moves in a couple of notches on the gate this time. He was also Dan Dube's choice of two. (6) HEAVE AWAY has hit the board in four of his five appearances since he started racing against $15,000 claimers and picks up George Brennan in the bike.

Race 2 - 15000CLM Pace
(3) TWIN B SPEED DIAL has closed out both of his miles well since he returned to action, and I'll hope he's ready for a more aggressive approach here against a field that's struggled to find the winner's circle. (2) REAL PEACE owns five on-the-board results in his last five outings and takes a third crack at $15,000 claimers after he cut the fractions and wound up in the show spot last Saturday. (1) SOUTH POINT moves in from post five to the pole position and comes off an effort a week ago where he had traffic trouble. He gets reunited with Brennan and was a closing second with him on the 21st of June.

Race 3 - Winners of 5 but not more than 8 PM Races or 90000LT Trot
(6) MA ISABELLE won the last time she was in a similar class to this one back on 5-24 and has been facing tougher since then. (4) THE THING IS closed well in a second-place finish at this level last Saturday and switches drivers to Brent Holland this time. (5) KELLY'S GREATEST has been in the top three in five or her last six outings and partners with Colin Kelly after she was third in the same event that THE THING IS exits.
Race 4 - 15000CLM Pace
(3) GOTHIC ROCK closed out his mile with some interest last Saturday in this class and gets to move in on the gate from the six-hole to post three this time. (2) WAIMAC ATTACK N shows a pair of victories at this level, including on 6-14, and he's hit the board in two subsequent appearances since then. (4) VIVA LAS VEGAS N has struggled to find the winner's circle over the last two years but was facing tougher $20,000 claiming company at Yonkers before he went to Harrah's Philadelphia for one effort on June 15 where he was fourth in a fast mile.
Race 5 - F&M Winners of 2 but not more than 4 PM Races or 60000LT Pace
(4) ACCESS GRANTED gets significant post relief here after she had the eight-hole last Saturday and shows a handy win against NW3 company at Harrah's Philadelphia on 4-13. (2) PONDA SUPERB raced well in two appearances at Yonkers on May 31 and June 7 and returns off a facile victory at Plainridge most recently. (8) PUSSYCAT DOLL GB starts from the eight-hole but has hit the board in six consecutive races and owns a trio of recent triumphs at this level at Yonkers.
Race 6 - 3-6YO 20000CLM Pace
(6) MOSES flashed some pace in the stretch finally last Saturday and hopefully can build on that tonight in his third outing on Lasix. (3) CLEVELAND B MIKI drew well in this tilt after several outside posts and gets a driver switch to Brennan. (4) DONTTELLMENOW comes in with back-to-back on-the-board finishes, and it doesn't look like he faces any foes here as tough as the one he was second to a week ago.
Race 7 - Winners of 2 but not more than 4 PM Races or 60000LT / NW30000LT Draw Inside Trot
(8) SHOW ME drew post eight but drops out of the Kentucky Sire Stakes and beat overnight company twice back in April. I have to think he'll be put in play. (5) TOP FLOOR TACTICS was too far back to threaten in one try at Yonkers on 6-14 but has been very sharp at Pocono and gets Kelly to steer him again. (4) GILLYS DE VIE had to settle for sixth last Saturday but had hit the board in four straight appearances prior to that and owns a pair of victories in this class.

Race 8 - 15000CLM Pace
(1) OUR CORELLI N didn't have much of a chance from post eight last Saturday but did close out his mile in 28 and change and owns two recent wins at the Meadowlands. (2) RECORD YEAR comes in with back-to-back victories against $15,000 claimers and debuts for new connections off a claim. Kelly has gotten along well with him and has the call again in the bike. (4) HOOSIER CELEBRITY has just a single victory in 22 efforts thus far in 2025 but has hit the board in four straight outings and is a first-timer for these connections after being claimed again.
Race 9 - 20000CLM Pace
(4) ON DAYBOO moves out of the age-restricted $20,000 claimers but won pretty handily last week, debuts for new connections off a claim and got the nod from Brent Holland. (3) MEMPHISTENNESSEE N is on a lengthy run of top three finishes and has won three straight, though that was against $15,000 claiming company. He is a first-timer for these connections after being claimed again and gets reunited with Jim Marohn Jr., who has gotten along well with him before. (1) JUST BET IT ALL hasn't been seen in a pari-mutuel race since last July. He won his second qualifier at Magical Acres, starts from the pole for leading trainer Per Engblom and was Kelly's pick.
