Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card scheduled. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 6, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 6 (8:40 PM EST)
1-Resolve To Win (5/2)-This will be the Yonkers debut for the Cullipher trainee who comes off a win at Philly. Should fit and does have enough gate speed to protect position. Looks like a threat to double up if the turns are not an issue.
3-P L Oscar (10-1)-Comes off an even effort after a sick scratch and is another with enough gate speed to be forwardly placed. Willing to use at this price as there aren't any automatics in this field.
6-Warrior One (2-1)-Winner of 3 straight bumps up again and likes to win taking 7 pictures in 21 starts. This is another who should be racing at the top of the stack. Won't offer much value but this post draw shouldn't hurt and Brennan sticks.
Race 7 (9:00 PM EST)
2-Mikala (9/5)-This mare doesn't make many starts, only 24 races in the past 2 years but can still bring big speed when ready to go. Brennan can have the 5-year-old on the point off the gate and should be difficult to catch.
Race 8 (9:20 PM EST)
4-B Medithree (7/2)-Has been racing well enough to finish 2nd in the last 2 starts. Will need a stronger effort to take a picture but this is a beatable field. Won against better in its last win here, that came back in August. Brennan should be out and rolling to race close to the leaders. Can win if brings its "A" game and the plan could include getting on the engine.
5-Hunting AS (5-1)-Put in a decent effort after breaking stride in the race before. Now drops to the level of its last win which came on 9-4 at PcD. Stratton takes the line and will look for a big try at a solid price.
Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)
6-Tallchief Hanover (9/5)-Has hit the board in 3 of 5 races at YR and has posted 2 wins. Drops to a spot to take another picture. Should be out and rolling for a close-up seat against this kind. Appears to be a clean trip away from cashing the top check.
