Yonkers Raceway has an 11-race card. The 0.50 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool begins in Race 5. The $1.00 Late
Pick 4 starts in Race 8, and the sequence will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 8 (9:20 Pm EST)

1-Verdun (4-1)-Makes the 2nd start off a sick scratch and the 4-year-old likes to get the lead and not look back. That plan could work with this post draw. Does know how to rally off cover if isn’t on the lead early on. Team Lachance entry could be sitting on a big try.
2-Rocknroll Runa A (4-1)-Does fit with this kind and the driver change to Jordan Stratton could make a winning difference. Beat the Invites the last time leaving from post 2, that was back in the fall and with a sharp steer could be in line for another picture.
5-Coaches Corner (9/5)-Has been off since 11-11 that was the 2nd leg of this series, and came 2nd by a nose. Qualified nicely at M1 on 11-30. Does great work at Yonkers winning 11 races and coming second 9 times in 22 starts. This is a tough race, but Jason Bartlett knows how to take a picture with this Engblom pupil.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

2-Outlaw Man N (6-1)-Here is a chance for a price to get some juice in the Pick 4 payout. Took a month off and raced at Pocono versus NW 15K, went off at 8/5 and broke stride. Then faced NW 33000 at YR and raced evenly. Now drops, and with this post draw could be in play from start to finish.
3-Rockin Jukebox (5/2)-Missed by less than a length versus this kind on 12-2. Yannick Gingras takes the lines tonight and should have the Joe B trainee forwardly placed throughout.

Race 10 (10:00 PM ET)

2-Around Midnight (10-1)-The Laterza pupil performs better with a decent post draw, and the 2-hole qualifies. Can dance with this kind and Brent Holland should provide an aggressive steer at a juicy price.
3-The Bird Dance N (7/2)-Makes the 5th start for the Ruiz barn and this is the 5th appearance at Yonkers. Here is another who should benefit from an inside draw.
4-DP Realordeal (5/2)-Got a wide trip when facing $50k claimers and now drops. Gingras should get an up close seat versus this crew and is a main players with a smooth trip.

Race 11 (10:20 PM ET)

2-Maximus Red A (8/5)-This veteran still likes to win and beat the $40k claimers 2 back and now drops in for a $30k tag. Should have his way with these if 100% but can't completely trust that is the case.
6-I'm A Powerplay A (5-1)-This is the 3rd start for the Laterza barn off a claim and had post 8 in the previous 2 races. Made up a lot of ground in last but was aided by a hot pace. Looking for ANap to get off the gate here and might land on the point. Could upset at a square price if an aggressive steer works out.
