Yonkers Raceway has a 12-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 9, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

3-Wattsup Sunshine A (6-1)-This is a grinder who should be a solid price. Did take a picture leaving from this post the last time in versus similar. Gets a positive driver change in Jordan Stratton, who could provide a nice stalking trip and catch the chalk if it doesn’t bring a top try.
5-Brue Hanover (3/2)-Comes off a 7th place finish but was in tall cotton facing W/O at M1. The Burke trainee lands at a much better level tonight and will be a small price. Jason Bartlett gets the nod, he should look to take control and make every call a winning one.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

3-Pound For Pound (5-1)-Won at this level 4-back and then moved up and raced evenly, cashing a small check only once. Should like the company and could land on top or in the 2-hole. Gets a post edge and should offer a square price.
6-Night Hawk (2-1)-Won versus this kind and then took a big step-up to finish 6th against Open company. Comes back down to the level of recent success and should be forwardly placed off the gate. George Brennan could work a stalking trip and finish best of all.

Race 11 (10:20 PM EST)

1-Wichita Lineman (5/2)-Benefitted from a nice drive, and a lively pace to score at 12-1. Won't be close to that price but has won 2 of the last 3 starts and deserves respect. Joe B will be racing at the top of the stack and is a double up possibility.
4-Ozone Blue Chip (7/2)-This is the 1st start for the Adamczyk barn, Austin Siegelman takes a seat, and he has had success steering the veteran. Usually likes to race on the point, not sure if that happens but should land near the top of the stack and that trip could work out.

Race 12 (10:20 PM EST)

1-Kootenay Santanna (7/2)-Makes the 1st start for the Laterza barn and did win at this level 3 back from the rail. Since then has raced evenly and was hampered by post 7 last time. Brent Holland takes the lines and could look to get on the engine and not look back.
4-Target Acquired (9/5)-Not liking the short price on this 3-year-old but is often in the hunt. Using because Matt Kakaley should be blasting out. If so, a pocket ride could be coming leading to a trip out win.

$1.00 Late Pick 4

3,5/3,6/1,4/1,4
