Yonkers Raceway has an 11-race card. The 0.50 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool begins in Race 5. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts 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)

4-Hemsworth N (5/2)- Looking for an aggressive steer with Scott Zeron in the bike and drawing inside of the toughest customers should help chances. Looks like a main player with a smooth trip and knows how to beat this kind.
6-Energetic Hanover (3-1)-The 3-race win streak was snapped in last. But left from post 8 and was coming off a sick scratch. Will use in a short field, thinking a top effort is coming and hopefully won’t be over bet.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

4-Big Gulp (5/2)-Raced evenly last time when dropped to this level but was off for 3 weeks. Beat similar for its last win on May 20th and should be a major player if dialed on high.
5-Century Heinekin (8-1)-Comes off a no-move mile from post 7 at this condition. Gets post relief, does better racing near the top of the stack and Tyler Buter should get there without much trouble. Using at a price in what could be a chalky sequence, and this is a field with question marks.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

2-Just Enuff Stuff (5/2)-Didn't race poorly at all in the 1st start for the DeVita barn but wasn't beating the one below. Could get revenge if takes advantage of an inside draw and improves some in the 2nd race for the new connections.
6-Verdun (2-1)-Winner of 4 in a row was in command from start to finish last week. Will probably be an odds-on choice again but hasn't drawn this far outside since the win streak began.

Race 11 (10:20 PM EST)

4-Two Faced (8/5)-Will look to single, recent form has been so-so but now drops to the level of past success. George Brennan could have the pedal down and go gate to wire. Has been popular at the claim box for $30,000 so expecting on the drop will be dialed on high in the 3rd start for the Di Domenico barn.

$2.00 Late Pick 4

4,6/4,5/2,6/4
Total Bet=$16
