* YONKERS
RACE 1
3 QUICK AND DEADLY* 5-2 LS SP
4 STONEY CREEK N 4-1
7 FOX VALLEY DEVIOUS 4-1
6 REVERSE THE CURSE 8-1
QUICK AND DEADLY former class horse, now 11 years old,
hasn't won in the past two years but is on an improving
pattern, moves inside from post 8 and may be set in 4th
start off the layoff...STONEY CREEK N has speed...FOX VALLEY
DEVIOUS ships in from New England and gets a key driver
change...REVERSE THE CURSE finished fast to upset similar.
RACE 2
1 CELTIC WARRIOR** 8-5 SP
4 R U WATCHING 5-2
2 FIVE CARAT DIAMOND 9-2
6 LITTLE MOON LAKE 8-1
CELTIC WARRIOR drops and gets a key driver change...R U
WATCHING won sharply the last time she raced at this track
and level...FIVE CARAT DIAMOND took advantage of a breaker
to set a slow pace winning last...LITTLE MOON LAKE broke in
last two starts but fits here on best.
RACE 3
8 GOT NO BRAKES*** 15-1 BAL
6 MARYMARY FRA 5-2
3 AVARICITY 3-1
5 ART IN PARADISE 4-1
GOT NO BRAKES left and was parked to the lead in :26.3 in
last at Pocono, yielded, was shuffled, slipped out and
lacked a rally in a race she may have needed in first start
for new barn; has missed a few weeks but oddly enough in
today's game a lot of big longshots that win come off some
sort of layoff, or 2nd off layoff, and in this case, her
lone win this year was off a long layoff. She gets a key
driver change, but has a terrible post. Could trail at the
back of the pack and show nothing or could pop at a
price...MARYMARY FRA has been facing tougher, improving
filly...AVARICITY raced okay in first start over the
track...ART IN PARADISE just missed in last at the Meadowlands.
RACE 9
3 WESTERN EDGE* 5-2 LS SP
2 LIVE TO REIGN N 4-1
6 GRAB YOUR KEYS 4-1
5 ROYAL MAN 4-1
WESTERN EDGE had dull cover in first local start and no
realistic shot trying to rally wide in a fast last half;
Bartlett had his choice of three here and he took this one,
should show early speed this time...LIVE TO REIGN N moves up
in class and switches to Brennan off a game effort...GRAB
YOUR KEYS was first over in a fast last half and held
gamely...ROYAL MAN classy 7yo was not Bartlett's choice but
gets a better spot and has a shot.
RACE 10
4 CAVIART CODY* 7-2 LS
2 WESTERN PRINCE 4-1
6 DRAFTY HANOVER 4-1
7 IN ETHAN'S HONOR 4-1
CAVIART CODY finished willingly in first start off the claim
by high-percentage barn; gets better post and a key driver
change to Brennan; upset call in another competitive field.
