Yonkers Raceway begins the week with an 11-race card. The 0.50 Pick 5 starts in Race 5, and it has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 rolls in Race 8, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 8 (9:20 PM EST)

3-Desperate Man 2-1-Took a picture at this level and is looking for its 4th straight win. Draws inside of main foes and has been too good to ignore.
4-Covered Bridge 4-1-Recent form has been fine and didn't connect in the last 2 races with outside draws. Tonight, gets a better post to start another win streak.
5-Peace Out Posse 7/2-Drew off in last by more than 5 lengths, has dangerous gate speed and shouldn't be overlooked. Could land on top again despite facing better and with a quick start the Joe-Jenn entry is in play.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

1-Seth Hanover 5-1-Seth has shown some heart in 2 of the last 3 all coming at this class. Should have the lead when the wings fold and has a shot to win at a square price if Siegelman can rate the mile.
3-Tuggin On My Heart 5/2-This is another Bongiorno entry with good gate speed. Fits and could be on top or in the pocket around the 1st turn and is threat for top honors.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

1-Shakespeare (3-1)-This is the 1st start for the Daguet barn. That conditioner and Brennan teamed up for a win on 11-20 versus this kind from the rail. Best to respect chances for the same outcome here.
4-My Miki Beach (5/2)-Has made it look easy winning 3 in a row at this class and faces a couple of tough customers. Jimmy Pants steers and may not be bet down off the morning line. But form is too good to leave off the ticket.

Race 11 (10:20 PM ET)

1-Ima Happy Fella GB (9/5)-This is the 3rd start since taking 3.5 months off and drops to a soft spot. Comes off a no-move mile from post 7 against better. Stratton can get on the point early on and should have no issue taking a picture if dialed on high.
