To start the weekend, Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race program in place. The $1.00 Early Pick 4 kicks off the card, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 1

4-Lettuceriprita A (2-1)-Won easily on 4-28 getting on the point and drawing off by 3 lengths. Bartlett should have the pedal down and will play catch me if you can.
5-Statement Made A (7/2)-Won versus this kind last week by coming out of the pocket and snagging the leader near the wire. Could win right back with the same game plan.

Race 2

3-C-Bet Hanover (5/2)-The 4-year-old ships in from Philly and shouldn't blush at the company. This is Bartlett's pick over #2 the program chalk who is dropping again in search of a picture. My lean will be with the pilot and this Ford pupil has hit the board in 5 of 8 at Yonkers and has posted 2 wins.
4-Gardys Legacy A (5/2)-This will be the 1st start for the Forte barn and will use looking for a better price than the morning line. Could be ready to improve as Stratton steers in the 3rd start since a sick scratch on 3-24.

Race 3

2-Rockn Philly (7/2)-Won versus Open company in Philly, ships back and lands in a good spot to double up. From this post Lachance has options and this veteran mare does good work at Yonkers (44-10-7-7).
3-Man Dontforget Me (7/2)-Program comment says "tough trip" about the last start but there wasn't anything tough about it. Getting on the engine and trying to wire the field might not have been the right plan, but on the drop here things should be different. Could catch a cozy trip and not need to get on the engine.

Race 4

2-Viva Las Vegas N (9/2)-Comes off an even effort in an extended distance race and had missed a start. Back in at a soft level and team Lachance should be forwardly placed tonight. Could be overlooked at the windows.
3-Rockathon (9/2)-Needed the last start at M1 after missing almost a month. Was used hard into a 26.2 opening quarter and it took a toll. Boyd could get the point and not have to go that fast off the gate. Won at this class back on 1-31 and then beat the NW10000L5 on 2-14. Should be a player, and like the one above may offer some value.
