Yonkers Raceway has a 12-race card. The $1.00 Late 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)

1-Parisian Blue Chip (3-1)-This veteran comes in with good form winning 2 of the last 3 races. Got its 1st win at Yonkers in 9 starts 3 back and now bumps up a level. Wired the last group easily, does fit with this kind and should be 1st or 2nd off the gate.
2-Hunting Lindy (6-1)-There could be quick fractions and the Adamczyk trainee drops. Should be a player and might be overlooked at the windows. Will need the right trip, but with a sharp steer could stalk and catch the leader down the lane.
5-McMarkle Sparkle (5/2)-Drew off by over 9-lengths and now bumps up. Got on the engine from post 7 and the same game plan could be used again. Logical choice and might be over bet.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

2-Blood Moon A (6/5)-Gets a new pilot in Corey Callahan and that could make a difference. The Cullipher trainee has only raced at YR 3 times but has a win and a 2nd place finish. Should relish the company and this driver-trainer combo posts 26% winners when they team up.
5-Miss Dottie Mae (5/2)-Ships in from M1 and lands in a comfortable spot. Tries Lasix for the 2nd time and gets a ++ driver change in Brent Holland. Could be a drop and pop candidate and has cashed checks against better at Yonkers. But Dottie has been camera shy and hopefully won't be over bet.

Race 11 (10:20 PM EST)

1-Creative Venture (6/5)-Drew off against easier and led gate to wire. Fits here and should be the a main player at a small price.
5-Brave By Design (3-1)-Comes off an even effort versus better but was off 20-days between starts. Will look for an aggressive steer by Joe Bongiorno and there isn't anyone to fear in this group.

Race 12 (10:40 PM EST)

1-Uptown Hanover (5/2)-Comes back to town after wiring easier from the 8-hole. Steps-up but has beat better here this summer and is a double up possibility. Does good work at Yonkers hitting the board in 44 of 70 races with 13 pictures.
5-Ultimate Speed (9/2)-Beaten chalk is usually in the hunt at the wire. Its 2024 record indicates the same, hitting the board in 21 of 28 starts with 8 wins. Does well at YR, Brent Holland is hot and should have the mare forwardly placed throughout.
