Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card to begin the weekend. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 starts 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-Chiapanecas (2-1)-Finally connected for a win in a quick mile after coming close in recent starts. Went gate to wire last week and now moves in a few spots. Faces 4 foes from the last field and is a strong double up possibility.
6-Easy To Please (6-1)-Won 2 back, then bumped up to face this kind and was stuck with post 7. Did pace the back half in 55.4 and should be closer to the leader turning for the wire this time. Best to respect at this price, Jordan Stratton has gate speed to use.

Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)

1-Kasha V (4-1)-Lost by a head in last in the first start without using Lasix. Doesn't have big gate speed but Jim Marohn should be able to work a smooth trip. Drops, and looks like a main player versus this kind.
5-PC Free Wheeling (3-1)-Beaten odds-on chalk was hung the mile in last and now gets needed class relief. Stratton may look to land on the point and make every call a winning one.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

5-Front Page Story (8-1)-Price shot raced against the Invites in the last 2 starts. Came 2nd from this post 2 back and lost to the program chalk 8-Walkin On Sunshine last time. Tonight, Pat Lachance has a post edge and was pace compromised in last.
6-Promiseland A (6-1)-Tried to go gate to wire and that trip fell short. Did work to get the top which isn't usually the plan for this mare. Jason Bartlett sticks, will look for a stalking trip and the price is right to use.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

1-Immigrant Am S (3-1)-Has only 1 win in 7 races this year but has shown some improvement in the last 2 starts. Bartlett does the steering for Engblom and should get a cozy trip. Will respect chances of taking the 1st picture on the Hilltop.
6-Cactustotheclouds (6-1)-Likes to get on the engine and play catch me if you can. That script worked 2 back and Brent Holland will be out and rolling again. Could get the top when the wings fold but should be no worse than in the pocket. Will take a swing there will be enough gas left for the stretch drive.
