The first to selections that you posted were Best Bets from paper's handicapper. Tonight's example looks like a ramdom pick that happens to have decent odds.
People see BEST BET in the paper and think it's a lock and they hammer the horse down. Last night's horse was 4-1 ML and was sent off at 4/5.

Do you follow/bet Yonkers and have an opinion of the race? Or are you just trying to hit something on the blind with comments from the newspaper?
