The feature at Yonkers Raceway rolls in Race 8, an Open Handicap Pace with a $36,000 purse. 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

5-Captivate Hanover (4-1)-Winner of 2 straight has been tough as nails. Beat this kind last week and was 7 lengths back into a dull .57 half mile. Rolled the 2nd half in .54 to get up in time over the one below. Will respect chances of extending the winning streak.
6-Leonidas A (4-1)-This race should have an interesting start and not sure if the 5 & 6 will both leave. This veteran landed on the point last time but might have to grind his way to the top here. Should be a player regardless of the route.

Race 9

1-Certifiable (8/5)-Hasn't been racing poorly and has been close, should have a big shot to take a picture with this post draw. Bartlett can land on the point and be in a position to control the fractions.
2-Family Recipe (6-1)-Will toss last versus better, will look for an alert start and to be forwardly placed. Price shot could surprise with the right trip.
5-On Accident (7-1)-Like #2, was in too tough last time. Gingras should land in a good seat and race near the top of the stack. Has won 6 of 24 at YR and can be in the hunt at a price.

Race 10

1-Great Somewhere (5/2)-Drops, gets post relief and likes the track (23-10-2-1). Should be on top or close to the leaders throughout. Looks like a main player at a small price.
2-Burnham Boy N (4-1)-Winner of 2 straight at Philly is sharp as a tack and should fit well with this bunch.
5-Hecandancencruise (4-1)-Raced from the back last week in the 1st start on Lasix. Closed in 55.1 and Joe B might be rolling from the word "go" this time. Will look for improvement in a race without a standout.

Race 11

1-Coalition Hanover (9/5)-The last 5 starts go as follows 1-2-1-2-1, so if that pattern holds true here's your 2nd place finisher. Not so fast, because the case could be made the entire field except for #8 is moving up in class. This is a beatable group and best to not overlook from the rail.
4-Theflyingrock (3-1)-The last 4 starts have been dull but did post a win 5 back versus this kind which not many in this field have recently done. The one above is going to take all the money and if he doesn't have his fast ball there could be some value here.
