Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 7, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7 (9:00 PM EST)

1-Vibrance (7/2)-Couldn't protect the rail in last versus better but now drops to a level for success. Could get the top and not look back this time.
2-Easy To Please( 5/2)-Looking for 2 straight after winning off a cozy trip. Does step-up but this field is beatable for the Stratton brothers and could get a similar trip.
5-Lucky Artist A (4-1)-This 11-year-old comes off a win against better and this won't be a layup but should fit well here. Steve Smith has done good work with the Bucci trainee and could offer a square price.

Race 8 (9:20 PM EST)

3-Lit De Rose (9/2)-Could be in-line for a close-up seat off the gate. Can charge home, the pace should be honest and might tackle the leader at a solid price.
4-Silk Cloud A (5-1)-George Brennan left in a hurry in last, got on the engine and faded badly down the lane. Stratton takes the lines here and he has done well with this mare. Looking for a price and could get an efficient trip.
6-Coachellabound N (3-1)-The Bucci trainee has been in the hunt every week except last time. Started slowly, was 10-lengths back at the 1st call and finished 4th. Will look for a bounce back effort as Jason Bartlett will be doing the steering.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

2-Fancy Nancy Lopez (9/2)-Last time, Nancy tried to take control and make every call a winning one. That's not a typical strategy so maybe that race was more of a a tightener. This will be the 3rd start after requalifying because of breaking issues. Not much form to chew on with this field and the price should be right to take a swing.
3-Oh Boy (2-1)-Travis Alexander pupil banked over $120k as a 4-year-old and hasn't had nearly the same success this year. Not loving the short price but has 11 wins over the past 2 years. The others in this field have a total of only 12 pictures for all of 2024, should be a major player but can't fully trust.

Race 10 10:00 PM EST

1-Miss Dottie Mae (6/5)-Gets post relief and has cashed checks all year against better. Not loving the short price but should be a main player from the rail against this crew.
5-Paladio (8-1)-This will be the 4th straight start at Yonkers, gets class relief, and could be used off the gate to land in a close-up seat. This will be a test for the 3-year-old but has won 2 of 6 here and should be a price.
