Yonkers Raceway has an 11-race card. The 0.50 Pick 5 with a $15,000 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)

3-American Dealer N (3-1)-This post draw could lead to a win with a sharp steer by Jason Bartlett. Came the back half last time in 54.1 but could only finish 4th vs this kind. Looking for Bartlett to blast out and be on top or close to it by the half pole.
5-Act Fast (5/2)-The Burke 4-year-old has big speed and makes its 1st start at YR. This will be a test, wouldn’t want a short price but will respect chances to take a picture versus an older group of Invites.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

4-Mind Hunter (7/2)-All but 2 in this field of 8 are moving up in class. This 5-year-old steps up but comes back in sequence and has easily won the last 2 races. Will look for Austin Siegelman to get on the point again, and not look back.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

1-Splash Brothers (7/2)-This is the 3rd start off the bench and the 3rd straight drop in class. Mark MacDonald has the gate speed to be on the point or in the pocket around the opening turn. May have met a beatable field and hasn't been in this cheap in a while.
2-Roll With The Flow (3-1)-Mohawk invader has hit the board in all 3 starts at YR and has taken 2 pictures. Started from post 8 in the last two starts at Wbsb and this will be the 3rd time for Lasix. Jordan Stratton is at the controls and should fit well with this crew.

Race 11 (10:20 PM EST)

3-Fulsome (5-1)-Will look for a square price, and cashed a 3rd place check against $50k claimers 2 starts back. Should enjoy the company and this looks like a good spot for a picture.
4-Blank Stare (3-1)-Comes off a win at Tioga but hasn't taken the top prize at Yonkers lately and now lands in a soft spot. Tyler Buter should be aggressive, and this isn't a salty field.

$2.00 Late Pick 4

3,5/4/1,2/3,4
Total Bet=$16
