Yonkers Raceway has a 12-race card scheduled and the 0.50 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool starts in Race 5. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 rolls in Race 9, and the sequence will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9

3-Division Bell (5/2)-Drops after facing $50K claimers and raced from the back. Now gets post relief after having the 7-hole in the last 2 starts and faces easier. Kakaley should have in striking range and could land in a close-up seat off the gate.
4-Islandspecialmajor (7/2)-Comes off improved efforts in the last 2 races and showed good gate speed both times. Drops in for a tag and it could be wake-up time. Gingras should have in play when the wings fold and will look for an aggressive steer.

Race 10

1-Deep Infatuation N (5/2)-Had a winning Yonkers debut on 6-24, wired the field in the 1st start on Lasix. Faces similar and looks like a major player.
4-C-Bet Hanover (7/2)-Doesn't offer any value if bet down but willing to take a swing as Gingras could leave and land in the pocket. This is a possible trip out candidate and hopefully won't be over bet.
6-Family Recipe (5-1)-Recent form has been dull but now drops to a level of past success. This was Holland's pick over #5 who is 7/2 in the morning line. Needs the right set-up but should be a square price if connects.

Race 11

2-Jay Bracken A (4-1)-Ships in from Philly, lands in a spot to compete and Bartlett grabs the lines. Has good gate speed and can take control early on and look to make every call a winning one.
6-Odds On Capitalism (7/2)-There isn't much form to chew on in this race. The 4-year-old has hit the board in 3 straight and had some excuses. Left from the 8-hole and then was 2nd to a winner who went in 152.2. Bumps up but there isn't much depth in this field and at least this Morgan trainee competes. Still looking for the 1st win this year (0-7) but did take 10 pictures in 24 starts in 2022.

Race 12

3-Bluebird Recon (6-1)-Almost came to a stop on 6-16 and then looked okay finishing 2nd in 153.3 on 6-23 in a qualifier. The Laterza barn has been cold and there are question marks but could top this crew with an efficient trip if dialed on high.
5-Vernier Hanover (4-1)-This is another who has struggled this year (0-6). It was a different story in 2022, beating the $75k claimers back in November. Shouldn't blush at the company and Stratton between the pipes won't hurt chances.

$1.00 Late Pick 4
