Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card, and the $1.00 Pick 5 starts in Race 5 and has a $15,000 GTP. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 rolls in Race 6 and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (8:25 PM EDT)

1-Bullville Frank (5-1)-The Engblom trainee was bet down to 9/5 last time and went off stride in the first turn. It was an ugly weather night, Frank and my other choice broke stride early on. Went off as 3/2 chalk 2 back and tried to wire the field that night but came up a nose short. Yannick Gingras is back and looks like a main player with a smooth trip.
4-Final Cheeserecipe (8-1)-Makes the first start for the Burke barn and has been claimed 6 times since Jan 30. Broke last week approaching the gate. This will be the first time going for Burke since all the claiming action and gets a new pilot in Scott Zeron. Will look for improvement at a big number and wouldn’t be shocked if lands in the pocket.

Race 7 (8:45 EDT)

2-Scribblers (7/2)-Has raced well but was in against a well-meant winner in the last 2, who is not in the field. This will be the 3rd straight try at this level and has finished 3rd and 2nd last week. Gingras should land on top when the wings fold and could be tough to tackle.
3-Trendy Teen (9/5)-Has raced well in the last 5 starts this year and steps up after a win. Has come within a nose of taking 3 straight pictures. Next stop on the comeback trail is the $50k claimers and Jason Bartlett can work an efficient trip and seal the deal.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

4-Dunkin (3-1)-Finally got off the schnide after bagging the first win in 10 races this year. Went gate to wire in a 1.25-mile race and there was never a doubt from start to finish. George Brennan is back and could try the same script here.
5-Nandolo N (5-1)-Jason Bartlett is between the pipes tonight and this race might set up for a closer. Should get a good trip with this post draw and could finish best of all at a solid price if the fractions are spicy.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

1-Covered Bridge (7/2)-Lately, has raced the best when getting the top off the gate. Will look for that game plan and gets a new set of hands in Scott Zeron. Beaten chalk was somewhat paced compromised last time as the 1st half went in 58.1. Could control the mile and that might be the winning difference.
7-Diego N (4-1)-Peter Tritton veteran has looked really good in its US races and has won the last 2 going gate to wire. Not sure getting on the engine works here but could rally off cover like it did 3 back and still keep its win streak intact.

$2 Late Pick 4

1,4/2,3/4,5/1,7
Total Bet=$32
