Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. 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 below are based on a fast track.

Race 7 (9:00 PM EST)

2-None Bettor A (5/2)-Drops and Matt Kakaley should be out and rolling. Could get a close-up seat, and this is a beatable field, but the price will be small.
4-Funatthebeach N (5-1)-Fits at this class as long as Jordon Stratton doesn’t have to come from way back off the pace. Should land a good seat here and may leave to get the top. Either way is worth a swing at the morning line price.

Race 8 (9:20 PM EST)

2-Covered Bridge (8-1)-It’s risky but my play will be to fade #8 Energetic Hanover who is seeking its 4th straight win. Stratton could get the jump, land on the point and be tough to tackle.
5-Hellabalou (4-1)-This is competitive affair, will look for Joe B to leave and could land in the pocket. The Burke trainee knows how to win here, has taken 9 pictures in 30 races at the Hill Top.
7-Boiling Oar (10-1)-This rounds out the 3 horses who will be a good price and have enough gate speed to get a decent seat early on. Kakaley will have to provide a sharp steer. Does like the top but should be put in play if that isn’t in the cards as the pace could be hot.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

1-Jahan Hanover (5-1)-Draws the rail, drops and Bartlett will be steering tonight. Should offer a square price and looks like a player.
4-Nuatical Hanover (9/2)-Dan Dube provided a nice steer and came off cover to win the last start with a 55.4 back half. Faces better, but could double up following a similar plan and should be a solid price tonight.
5-Sonny Weaver N (7/2)-Has been in good form and just missed last week versus a well-meant winner. Stratton has the gate speed to get on the engine and make every call a winning one.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

3-Hunting Zone (5/2)-The Lorentzon pupil could be on top or sitting in the pocket behind the morning line chalk #4. Either trip could lead to a picture.
4-Racing Rampage (2-1)-Faced some tough competition as a 3-year-old and only posted 2 wins but banked over $104K. Lands in the Alexander barn, Kakaley steers and will be making its Yonkers debut. Hasn't had a race on the oval and will still probably be bet down. Should be a main threat but not sure the 4-year-old can win if not leading when they turn for the wire.
