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

Race 7 <b.(9:00 pm="" est)<="" b="">

1-Cantkeepmiasecret (9/2)- Drops into a soft spot and could offer a square price. Probably needs to lead from start to finish to cash the top check. Best to respect, there isn't a lot of gate speed in this field.
6-Crazyland (2-1)-Hasn't taken a picture since 7-5 and makes it 2nd straight start at this level. Raced evenly in last from post 8. My take is Jason Bartlett has the pedal down and attempts to go gate to wire. That plan could work but the price should be small.

Race 8 (9:20 PM EST)

5-Ultimate Speed (7/2)-Fits and has been in the hunt with this kind. Likes to race near the top of the stack and ANap should be there shortly after the wings fold. Has 9 wins in 33 starts this year and does good work at YR as well, capturing 8 wins in 32 appearances. The price should be fair, and could be difficult to tackle.

Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)

2-Front Page Story (2-1)-Emptied the tank leaving from post 8 to get on the point into a .55 opening half. That trip took its toll but tonight should be different. The plan will be the same but this field doesn't appear very salty and George Brennan should work a less taxing journey this time.

Race 10 (10:00 PM EST)

5-That'smytype (8-1)-This mare does better when it gets off the gate and has a chance to take charge early on tonight. Willing to fade the 6/5 choice, #2 Baditude who will be a tiny price. Jim Marohn could land in the pocket behind the chalk and roll by down the lane.
6-Rocknroll Annie (10-1)-Gets some class relief and comes off 2 aggressive tries. Hasn't won in a long time but is another who could get a close-up seat. Should be a big price and will use in a race that feels like the chalk may get beat.
