Yonkers Raceway has a 12-race program to begin the week. The 0.50 Pick 5 starts in Race 5, the sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 goes in Race 9, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9

1-Walkinshaw N (7/2)-This 11-year-old can dial it up from time to time and this is a spot to be dialed on high. Can leave with enough gusto to land in the pocket behind the one below and trip out.
3-Speed Man N (4-1)-Won at this level on 4-10 then faced Open company and took another picture. Has been close but hasn't connected since, and now drops. Joe B should be leaving versus this kind, could get the top and not look back.

Race 10

1-Arden Messi N (2-1)-Comes off a big try from the 8-hole on an off track to finish a close 2nd. Not liking the short price but this post draw could make a winning difference. Is somewhat camera shy but may have met a beatable field. Bartlett could get on the point and steal a quarter to post a win.
5-Traceur Hanover (4-1)-Ships in from Philly and the Burke trainee shouldn't blush at the competition. The 11-year-old still has big speed and if needed, could grind it out. Kakaley can put this veteran in position to rally down the lane at a fair price.

Race 11

2-Save Me A Dance (7/5)-Faded versus better at Philly, and lands at the level of his last win that came here on 1-24. This will be the 3rd start off the bench and 3rd start for Per Engblom. Could be in charge from start to finish and does well on this oval
(39-10-6-5).

Race 12

2-Hecandancencruise (4-1)-Drops and rolled the back half in .55 but was pace compromised on a sloppy track. Draws inside for the 1st time in quite a while and could be sitting on a big try if minds manners. The last race was better than the line looked considering the off-track record before that start was (5-0-0-1).
4-Sonny Weaver N (2-1)-Steps up after wiring the field at PcD and has beaten better here in the spring. Won't offer much value but is a main player and likes to win at Yonkers (13-7-0-2).

$1.00 Late Pick 4

1,3/1,5/2/2,4
Total Bet=$8
