Race 1 - NAADA Winter Series Leg #6 Trot
(1) SD ELIMINATOR finished a solid second to a well-meant favorite last week in his division of this series and starts from the pole position tonight. (3) KAMERAN HANOVER was third in the same race my top selection exits and both of them have hit the board in five of their last seven appearances. (2) MUSCLE DAN has struggled to find the winner's circle but gets post relief this time and is capable of showing good speed off the gate.

Race 2 - F&M 20000CLM Pace
(1) IRIS SEELSTER gained spots and ground in a runner-up effort last Thursday and starts from the pole position tonight after she's had four straight outside posts. (5) SEA STORM comes in with consecutive victories in this class and was leading driver Jason Bartlett's choice. (3) YOU BEDA ROCK shows a pair of wins against $20,000 claiming company and has hit the board in five of her last seven efforts overall.
Race 3 - NAADA Winter Series Leg #6 Trot
(2) SWISS HOUSE ONFIRE was third after he cut the mile two weeks ago and then had a poor trip last week from the eight-hole. He moves way inside on the gate here in his third start back off the bench, and I'll give him top billing. (3) FASHION FOREVER posted a third-place result in leg #3 of this series, and tonight he has his first inside post since his victory at the Meadowlands on the 18th of December. (1) YOUMEANDWHISKEY broke last week but had a third prior to that and also was third in a pair of amateur events at Pocono back in November.
Race 4 - 40000CLM Trot
(3) WARRAWEE WHISPER saw his win streak end last week, but it was still a good third-place effort from post seven, and now he moves back in on the gate to the three-hole. (2) ENERGY KING has been in the trifecta in five of his last seven outings and comes in off a victory at this level a week ago. Co-owner Yannick Gingras has the drive again tonight. (4) I'M OUT went down the road to capture an amateur contest a couple of weeks ago and gets reunited with George Brennan here.
Race 5 - F&M 20000CLM Pace
(5) UNCONTROLLED enters this event in sharp form and hopefully this better post than she had last Wednesday allows her to sit closer to the action. (1) DISARONNO HILL made an early break and lost all chance a week ago. That was very out of character compared to her dominant run prior to that, and she joins a high-percentage stable off a claim. (2) HUNTS FLOWER gets a driver change to Gingras and owns four recent third-place finishes at Yonkers.
Race 6 - 3-6YO 20000CLM Pace
(4) ROSE RUN ASTRO merits another chance tonight as he had to go three-wide before three-quarters last Thursday and couldn't rally into contention. Hopefully he'll have a cleaner trip tonight. (5) LOUS THE ATTITUDE moves in on the gate a couple of slots this time and gets Bartlett in the bike for the first time since they won together on 1-22. (3) WELL THAT'S MARKY comes in with five wins and a second against open $15,000 claimers between Yonkers and Monticello and debuts for new connections off a claim.
Race 7 - NW20000L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW10 PM Races LT / 60000CLM Trot
(1) WHEELZABLAZIN cut the mile and wound up fourth in his debut for these connections last week. He has another inside post to work with tonight and uses Lasix for the second time. (8) THE BRODSTER was scratched sick out of a start at Pocono on 2-14 and starts from the outside but was in raging form at Yonkers and Harrah's Philadelphia prior to the scratch and has the leading driver/trainer combination in his corner. (5) HOT FLASH KIMMY closed well in a second-place finish at this level last Thursday and races out of a stable that's been sending out plenty of live horses recently.
Race 8 - Invitational Trot
(3) DRIBBLING BI came in second over at Pocono on Saturday in his first outing of 2026 and drew inside of the other logical-looking ones in this race. (6) TAKE ALL COMERS prevailed in the Invitational back on February 5 and showed the capability to overcome the outside post in that tilt. (5) CECIL HANOVER won that race at Pocono that my top pick also exits, won the Invitational on 1-29 and gets reunited with co-owner Gingras.

Race 9 - 40000CLM Trot
(4) P L OSCAR put in a strong effort in a multi-move third-place finish last Thursday and makes his third start back off the bench from an improved post here. (3) MAHONE SEELSTER took a couple of chances against tougher optional $60,000 claimers and now drops back to the class where he won on both 1-22 and 1-29. (2) SHAKE N BAKE has taken some wagering attention the last couple times but has had to settle for fourth on each occasion, though he did gain ground a week ago. He gets another chance with Joe Bongiorno in the bike tonight.
Race 10 - 15000CLM Pace
(3) DEETZY advanced from seventh to fourth in the back-half of his mile on 2-4 and makes his third start of the year from an improved post tonight. He also gets a driver switch to Dan Dube, who isn't afraid to fire one out of there. (2) TAKE A CLOSER LOOK hasn't been outside the trifecta in his last six appearances and debuts for new connections after being claimed last week. (4) ON DAYBOO switches over to this level out of the age-restricted $20,000 claimers and makes his second start for his current stable.
