Yonkers Raceway wraps up the week with a 12-race card. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 9, and the sequence will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

3-Sky Box (6-1)-Won going gate to wire on 7-18 at YR, and fits with this group. Gets a positive driver change in Jordan Stratton, could offer a square price, and looking for an aggressive steer.
4-Victor Laszlo (4-1)-Victor's form has slipped in the last few but has battled tough customers all year. Should get off the gate in good shape and this is a pot to wake up.
6-Sister Mary Maude (2-1)-Program chalk has banked over $225,000 this year, and hit the board in 3 of 4 races at YR but hasn't taken a picture. Off 20-days between starts, not sure if that helps, but it is difficult to leave the Burke entry off the ticket.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

5-Funatthebeach N (2-1)-Bumps up off after an odds-on gate to wire score. A similar trip looks possible, knows how to beat this kind, and can stay good for another picture.
7-Gung Ho (7/2)-Ships back from PcD and has beaten better here before. Should enjoy the company, gets a positive driver change in George Brennan and could land in a good seat off the gate.

Race 11 (10:20 PM EST)

1-Fight Not Flight (7/5)-Not feeling the short price but does figure to be a player. Draws the rail here which hasn't happened before. Should be there at the wire and needs to be used versus this bunch. Should be in the hunt but does have an issue sealing the deal this year (9-0-3-1).
2-Straight And Sassy (3-1)-Hoosier shippers haven't been automatic but at least this 3-year-old showed good speed on the 5/8's at Oak Grove. Brennan should have the pedal down and could be tough to tackle in its Yonkers debut.

Race 12 (10:40 Pm EST)

3-Major Makeover (8-1)-Got the pocket behind Italian Delight and finished that way. Someday the Delight will lose, and Dan Dube could get the same pocket ride tonight.
7-Italian Delight N (4/5)-Winner of 10 straight versus $15k claimers, without a claim entered, and will be a tiny price as usual. Should win again unless shows up ouchy, not counting on it but can't rule out.

$1.00 Late Pick 4

3,4,6/5,7/1,2/3,7
