Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card, and the 0.50 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool rolls in Race 5. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 7, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections are based on a fast track.

Race 7 (9:00 PM EST)

1-Shuffle Up Hanover (2-1)-Has hit the board in 6 of 7 here with 3 pictures. Dropped to this level in last and worked to get on the point, almost lasted but finished 2nd by a neck at even money. Shouldn’t have much of an issue taking control off the gate. Looks like a good spot to cash the top check with a smooth trip.

Race 8 (9:20 PM EST)

2-American Dealer N (9/5)-Finished a close 2nd in the last 2 starts, which were at this level, and the winners are not in this race. Logical choice will be a tiny price and could be posing.
6-Lou's Sweetrevenge (6-1)-Beat this kind on 9-25 and drops to face the same type tonight. Gets a new set of hands in Brennan, will look for a more aggressive drive and should be a nice price.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

3-Luckbewithalex (2-1)-Gets some class relief but does face older. This looks like a good level for success, beat the NW30KL5 in August by getting on the engine and not looking back. This could be a time to try the same plan.
6-Jahan Hanover (6-1)-Beaten 2/5 chalk drops after fading to come 3rd. Bartlett could get the top using less gas here or could land in the pocket behind the ML choice. Either way the Engblom trainee looks like a main threat.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

2-One Crazy Guy (4-1)-Shipped in from Stga and was handled conservatively in the 1st start for the DeVita barn. The 3-year-old comes back in sequence, Bartlett gets the call, drops in for a tag and will be looking for a big try.
5-Whammer Jammer (9/2)-Appears to have enough gate speed to get the top. This is a tough race to read and could be a player if makes the turns.
8-Barrywhite Hanover (20-1)-Team Stratton entry was claimed for $15K and this will be the 3rd time in for $30K. Comes off 2 even efforts, and maybe the connections really like him. This is a hodge podge field, the pedal could be down when the wings fold. Thinking 20-1 isn't in the cards but should be a nice price.
