Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. The 0.50 Pick 5 with a $15,000 guaranteed pool rolls in Race 5. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 6, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (8:40 PM EST)

1-Leonidas A (9/2)-Has won 2 of the last 3 in what has been a camera-shy year. Will give the benefit of the doubt that taking another picture is in the cards leaving from the rail.
6-Lou’s Sweetrevenge (10-1)-Price shot steps up but so do most of these. Bartlett takes a seat, which should help, and will look for an aggressive drive in a race without a standout.

Race 7 (9:00 PM EST)

3-Purple Poet (4-1)-This is another who dropped and popped going gate to wire. Steps up but this isn’t a salty group. Will string a long and will be a better a price than 1-2 tonight.
5-Big Gulp (5/2)-Recent form has been dull, takes a significant drop and if 100% should have his way with these. But, can’t fully trust that will be the case.

Race 8 (9:20 PM EST)

2-Himself N (4-1)-Raced well against this kind for quite a while and has been stuck with post 8 the last 2. Should be out and rolling with this post draw and could be tough to tackle.
4-Pleaseletmeknow (7/2)-Classy Alexander trainee didn’t make the cut at M1 in its BC Elim. Returns to its home field and should be in the hunt facing this group.
5-Coaches Corner (9/2)-Has been off since 9-7 but won a qualifier at the Big M in 150.3 on 10-19. Engblom entry likes to win here taking 9 pictures in 19 starts. Bartlett gets the nod, and looks ready to add to its win total.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

2-Aussie Hanover (8-1)-Will swing for a price and Matt Kakaley steers for the 2nd straight time. Comes back on schedule and has been far back early in recent starts. But has a chance to get a close up seat here and did close in 55.1 last week.
3-Maximus Red A (7/2)-Won from post 8 and then faded down the lane at 3/5 last time but missed a start. Comes back versus the same kind in sequence and Jim Marohn gets the catch drive. Should get the top and can win with a well rated mile.

$1.00 Late Pick 4

1,6/3,5/2,4,5/2,3
Total Bet=$24
