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

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

2-Adam Twelve (8/5)-Per Engblom pupil has won 6 of 10 at YR. That record includes finishing 2nd in the last 2 starts versus age restricted Open company and Invitation horses. Comes back in sequence and this is a meaningful drop in class. Yannick Gingras should land on the point or possibly could come away in 2nd behind the rail horse Fearful Intent, who has missed a start. Either way the 4-year-old should have his way with this field.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

3-RJ Sports Image (6/5)-Left hard from the 8-hole last time, had a difficult opening quarter and that led to a poor 2nd half. Has raced well against some tough foes. Should relish the company and the post relief. Jason Bartlett could have the pedal down, land on the point and make every call a winning one.

Race 11 (10:20 PM EST)

3-San Domino A (5/2)-The program shows road trouble in last, in general it wasn't a smooth trip. Had to work to drop into a hole, and that's not really road trouble but was blocked down the lane. May have won with a different trip but that's more opinion than fact. Lands in a spot to win tonight and Gingras should be able to work a smoother trip.
4-Just Enough Stuff (2-1)-Got on the engine in the first start since 1-29 but couldn't last and lost to the pocket horse. Comes right back and does face some veterans but looks like a main player at a short price.

Race 12 (10:40 PM EST)

1-Mach N Cheese (5-1)-Drew off in the 1st race for the Forte barn as Gingras provided an efficient trip. There have been issues as this will only be the 15th start in the past 2-years. Willing to use against better as this veteran has some back class. Should offer a solid price in what could be a chalky sequence. Could have more to offer and is in line for another cozy trip.
2-All Alone (9/5)-Some will single but at this level that isn't my choice. Will be a small price, and the best chance to win will probably be if Bartlett can get on the engine and wire the field. Will respect that outcome but not completely sold and will look at a couple of others with more value.
6-Splash Brothers (12-1)-Put in an even mile leaving from the same post versus a similar field last week in a needed start. The Schnittker-MacDonald combo has been cold and is due. Should offer a big price in the 2nd race since 11-28 and can be a threat with an aggressive steer.
