Yonkers Raceway has an 11-race card. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 8, and the sequence will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

3-Take Your Pick (8/5)-Yonkers record is 1-3, and beat similar, then was in against Invites which were too tough. Ships in from Philly looking for a win and this is a good spot. Does well work getting on the engine and not looking back. Has an edge on others with this post draw and could have the best gate speed of the group. Jason Bartlett gets the assignment. He has connected a couple of times for wins in the spring at M1 with the Cullipher trainee. When this driver-trainer tandem teams up they post 40% winners.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

6-Aardie B Miki N (3/2)-Came off the bench on fire winning the 4 legs it raced in and then captured the Borgata Final. Since then, form has been so-so in the last 3 starts but raced against some very tough foes at Philly, Wbsb and M1. Now returns to Yonkers where it has made about 70% of its lifetime earnings. Shouldn't be denied unless the trip is very bumpy. But Bartlett is between the pipes and faces only 5 challengers.

Race 10 (9:45 PM EDT)

2-Themaskedcrusadr N (3-1)-Willing to take a swing with a horse making only its 5th lifetime start all coming this year. Drew the 9-hole 3 times in 4 races at Mohawk and put in a decent qualifier after a sick scratch up North on 5-26. Did trot the back half in 56.2 in the 7-4 tune up at Yonkers and will look for a big try against a suspect group.

Race 11 (10:05 PM EDT)

5-Tachyon (8-1)-Looking to get a big reward in this leg, not liking the chalks (3-4) at small prices. Dan Dube should have this recent winner at this class forwardly placed. If lands in a close-up seat, a pocket ride isn't out of reach, and good things could follow at a big price.
7-Unevergonnagethis (6-1)-Shipped to Philly and picked up a win against easier and now faces a beatable field. Actually, faces easier than the last time on this surface. The race can shape up for a stalker to roll by as the fractions could be spicy. Jordan Stratton steers for the Cullipher barn and this combo posts 23% winners when working together.
