Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. The 0.50 Pick 5, has a double carryover of $22,198.09, it starts in Race 5 and has a $75,000 guaranteed pool. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 rolls in Race 7, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)

1-Finvarra A (7/2)-Has been flat the last couple of starts against the Invites. But drops, draws the rail and that could be the winning difference. George Brennan may get on the engine, but if not should be no worse than in the pocket against this kind.
7-Heza Charttopper A (7/5)-Steps up, draws outside and both may not matter. Has strung together wins versus the Invites so wont blush at the competition, and has won 9 of 16 on the Hilltop. Jason Bartlett will be blasting out, and could double up with a top of the stack trip.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

2-Desperate Man (2-1)-Raced big in the Battle of Lake Erie but got beat by the pocket horse who tripped out from the 2-hole. This warrior did all the heavy lifting last time into hot fractions and tonight should get control early on and not look back.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

1-All Alone (9/5)-Ships back from Philly after a pair of dull efforts which came after a lame scratch at YR. So there are question marks but if healthy this is a soft spot, beat similar here on 3-10. Could have his way with this crew if dialed on high.
3-Whats Stanley Got A (7/2)-Ships back from PcD, after an ever effort on a good track. Stanley isn’t what he was last year but has been in the mix against better. Beat this kind at the end of March at Yonkers from the 8-hole on a sloppy track and beat better here in April from post 7. So, best to respect chances tonight.

Race 10 (9:45 PM EDT)

1-Manferno (6/5)-Made his YR debut a winning one and went off at 5-1 against this kind. Now comes right back, draws the rail, and will probably be an odds-on chalk. Will offer no value but faces 5 from last week's crew.
7-Frequent Image (6-1)-Blasted off the gate at 45-1 and faded to finish a badly beaten 8th. That was the 1st start for the Engblom barn and tonight could be much different. Dops to the level of its last win which came only 2 back. Bartlett gets the call and will look for a strong attempt to get back to winning ways.
