Tuesday Empire Report

RACE 1 – (3) COALFORDSNSHINE GB was just “ok” in her first couple of local starts this year but she soon

found her best game, and comes into tonight with wins in 3 of her last 4 starts – she won her last pair for two

different top barns, and goes for yet another new one tonight...she was Bartlett’s choice, and remains the one to

knock off. (1) DISTANT LOVER has won 3 of her 4 starts at this level (including last week), and should be the

main threat tonight...even if Bartlett opts to drive #3. (2) DESIGNS ON YOU drew 8 holes in both local starts and

trailed throughout both times – eligible to come up with a much better try tonight with the move inside. (5) SUNBU

RNT was no threat returning from NJ last week but she also wasn’t bad – not a bad bomb for the bottom of exotics.

(6) HARPER SEELSTER got a big wake up call from the pole last week and just missed taking ‘em wire to wire –

may have a tougher time replicating that effort from Post 6, though. (7) JUST ROSAS LUCK should be tighter after

getting parked the mile from Post 7 last week (off the layoff) but may need a better draw to strut her best stuff. (8)

YOU BEDA ROCK may start to improve after last week’s claim...but perhaps not from all the way out here. (4) CA

NNERY ROW beat cheaper at Monti last week but is beyond camera shy here at Yonkers.

RACE 2 – Short field, but a good race: (2) JMS FINAL TREASURE raced super in his first 2 starts at this level but

was left with no chance after drawing Post 8 in his last pair – moves back inside, and is eligible to perk up with a big

effort. (4) STELLAR YANKEE was recently on a solid form spree that left him stuck facing some top horses – he’s

starting to work his way back down the ladder, and may be in a spot where he can do some damage again. (1) DEET

ZY is having an incredible season at age 13 but he does seem at least a bit off his best game right now – always a

threat, but may be a bit vulnerable tonight, at a short price. (5) BOILING OAR is in the hunt most weeks but wins

have become tougher to pick up – would want a “decent” price to use on top here. (6) QUALITY BUD had been

struggling but did charge home full of pace in his last– his barn is hot, and he has appeal with that 20-1 ML price (3)

BONDI SHAKE A may need to be in a little easier to be a serious threat.

RACE 3 – (2) GINGER TREE LIZ has been plagued by inconsistency for a long time, as a quick look at her last 2

lines will clearly illustrate – she was claimed away from her long-time barn last week and the guess is that her new

crew will do pretty well with her...but she also figures to be hammered at the windows tonight. (1) RACIN FOR RO

YALTY has actually been VERY consistent lately, and draws the pole after winning from that same spot last week –

she may offer some decent value tonight if #2 gets overbet! (4) FORTUNADA was sharp off the claim (2nd and a

win) but then went on the shelf for a while after being scratched injured on 4/29 – qualified solidly for a hot barn,

and could be worth a look. (3) IRON MISTRESS hasn’t been all that sharp lately, but could grab a piece here with

an easy trip. (8) SALE EL SOL gets a meaningful drop to 20s but also gets stuck all the way outside – not a bad

bomb for 3rd/4th. (6) BIG BETTOR HANOVER picked up some minor spoils in her last pair and could be looking at

more of the same tonight. (5) MC ANGEL was ok in her first start off the layoff but quickly regressed. (7) BROOK

DALE JESSIE will need major trip luck for even a minor share from this tough spot.

RACE 4 – Another good race! (1) HAZARDOS has certainly taken a liking to Yonkers, now 4 for 4 and an easy

winner each time – he faces some very real competition tonight, but we’ll give him the narrow edge. (4) CAPTAIN

MOORE A was sent off at 1/10 for his U.S./Yonkers debut but never looked right that night and backed through the

field – whatever was wrong was quickly corrected, however, as he came back to win his last 3 starts – can’t blame

anybody looking to use HIM on top. (2) FEDERER hasn’t won in a while but he’s remained very sharp, and chased

#1 very nicely last start– if the top two falter at all, he’ll be right there to pick up the pieces (5) BRIGHT BET trailed

all the way from Post 8 last week but was very sharp in a bunch of starts prior to that – not sure he’s as good as the

top two, but he’s worth at least a look at that 15-1 ML price (3) WAR NO MORE was no factor vs. older

conditioned horses last week but he did have pace finishing – ok bomb for 3rd/4th. Both (6) CUPID SHUFFLE and

(7) BEANZY FRESH figure to have a hard time getting close to the action after drawing outside.

RACE 5 – (2) AMMO improved upon joining this barn last winter, and even had a couple of decent efforts in the

Borgata Series – he’s been facing some tough competition out of town, and should appreciate this (much) softer spot

(1) DONTLIKEITLEAVE was well backed last week, called the shots and was able to hang on vs. a bit easier – can

still be a big threat tonight, but won’t offer much value with that 6/5 ML. (3) YOROKOBI N rallied nicely for 2nd off

a very live trip last week, racing off a bad date – he’s still winless on the year, and seems better used underneath,

rather than on top. (5) EUPHORIA N steps up a bit off a pair of 3rds, but can grab a small piece if things go his way.

(4) CHANTEE (still winless on the year) has been better lately, but figures to be slowed by tonight’s double jump.

(7) SPIRIT OF STLOUIS N showed better life than expected 2 back, but reverted to his disappointing form last

week – now Post 7. (8) AROUND MIDNIGHT has been a tough one to read from week to week, but faces an uphill

battle from Post 8. (6) GAMBLINGTERROR drops a notch, but still seems to be in a bit too tough.

RACE 6 – (4) JENDEN STRIKE A is trying to make the jump from 30s to 50s but she’s razor sharp, and has shown

that she can win with different kinds of trips, if necessary – we’ll give her the narrow vote in a very competitive

affair! (5) YS SENSATIONALCITY came up 2nd best in her last pair and has been solid for most of 2025 – her price

should creep up a bit tonight, and the right trip could make her a big threat. (3) CRUISE ALERT was in a no chance

spot dropping in for the tag last week but was full of pace finishing – another that could come out on top if things go

her way. (2) IDEALINFUN beat these 3 back and picked up smaller pieces in her last pair – leaning more to a

couple of others, but she’s playable too...at the right price. (7) RACEY RACH N was hurt by tough trips in a lot of

her starts but knew just what to do with the rail in her last pair – the task gets much harder from out here, though! (1)

MALUKA MISS N finally gets post relief and that makes her eligible to grab a piece, if she can land on a good trip.

(6) BEANTOWN BABE feels like she’s starting to head in the wrong direction – Post 6 won’t help.

RACE 7 – (6) P A PIPER put in a good bid in his local debut before weakening – he added Lasix for his next start

and rallied nicely for 4th from a hopeless spot – had plenty of pace for 2nd in his next (though DQd for interference)

then was 2nd best to standout CAPTAIN MOORE A last week – deserves top billing, even with the bad draw. (4) ST

ARE ME DOWN won as the favorite in his local debut (vs. easier), then was caught in bad spots the last 2 weeks –

could find a much better effort tonight with the better draw. (3) ALL OUT HANOVER arrives off a career best

effort in Delaware, and lands in a very sharp barn – may be able to outperform that 8-1 ML price in his YR debut.

(8) SOUTHWIND JUDGE also won as the favorite in his Hilltop debut, but threw a dud (from a bad spot) last week

– he fits well with these, but hard to say if he’ll be able to overcome the draw. (5) LUXURY VIRGIN figures to

improve as he’s joining our leading barn but he’s just 1 for 20 and has missed almost 4 weeks – we may not see him

fire his best shot tonight. (2) JMS BEST BET is still hard to gauge– maybe a small slice with the inside draw? (1)

HURRIKANE MIKI is 0 for 18 locally...sticking with others. (7) WASHEDUPONABEACH feels overmatched (and Post 7).

RACE 8 – (3) SAMHARA N appreciated the class drop and live trip last week and delivered a powerful victory –

he faces a couple of other sharp rivals tonight, but we’ll give him the edge...especially since he’ll probably be a fair

price. (4) OUTLAW MAN N dropped back to the basement last week for the first time since he won at that level on

5/8...and was able to get the job done once again (and in impressive fashion) – the class jump won’t slow him down

if shows up as sharp tonight. (5) MYULTIMATEBAXTER N served notice 2 back that he was turning things around

(when 3rd at 49-1) and ALMOST collared the favorite from the pocket last week – legitimate threat in his sharp form

(6) SURFSIDE BEACH gets a major drop but he’s been struggling and draws poorly – inclined to stick with others

on top, but willing to use underneath. (7) EVER HOPING has some better recent efforts but he’s just 13-0-3-0 this

years and lands Post 7 – maybe a small slice? (2) BE DAZZLED LOU A was sent off at 1/2 last week and handled

aggressively, but wasn’t able to get the job done – maybe 3rd/4th? (8) THEMASKEDCRUSADR N was well backed

for his local debut last week and able to handle a softer bunch – he’ll need to be a lot sharper if he hopes to repeat

against these, from Post 8. (1) CASINO ACTION N is one of the few in the barn that have NOT perked up recently.

RACE 9 – (6) ROCKMYSTER N was off a bad date to his last but put in a nice rally into the lane before flattening

a bit near the end – drops right back in the box, catches a modest field, and may be able to handle this assignment.

(4) SINBAD N took a while to get rolling this year but recently sharpened at Pocono and looms a major threat in his

Hilltop return. (8) OPTICAL ILLUSION N lands the worst of the draw but drops, and had life finishing last time –

he’ll be a nice price if you think Holland can get him in play from out here. (3) GINGRAS BEACH hasn’t been that

sharp lately but he’s listed at 20-1 ML and may be able to at least grab a small piece. (5) TWIN B RISENSHINE is

an infrequent local winner but grabs his fair share of pieces– willing to include underneath. (1) CAPTAIN BATBOY

had a terrible 2024 season but has done a bit better in 2025 – prefer others for the top slots, but a small piece is

within reach from this spot. (2) SPORTY M THREE hasn’t been “sharp” for some time but is always eligible for a

small slice with an easy trip. (7) ROLLING WITH SAM rarely wins, and has struggled to even grab pieces lately.
