Yonkers Raceway begins the week with a 9-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 rolls in Race 5, and it has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. The $2.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 6, and the sequence will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (8:25 PM EDT)

1-Tobins Chester (8-1)-This is a difficult race to read, have landed on the rail horse who gets needed class relief. Dan Dube should be no worse than in the pocket off the gate.
2-Why Not Now (5/2)-The Alexander trainee cashes checks but has forgotten how to win the past 2 years. Has won only 2 times in the last 28 races, but this is a beatable field. Like the one above can be on the lead or in the pocket after the wings fold.

Race7 (8:45 PM EDT)

2-Mullinax (5/2)-The Engblom trainee has scorched the last 2 fields but getting 3 straight could be a challenge. Considering recent form plus starting inside should help chances of taking another picture despite bumping up a couple of levels.
4-Heza Charttopper A (3-1)-Drops to a comfortable spot and won the last time versus this kind 2 back. This is a main player, and George Brennan could go gate to wire at a short price.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

4-Huntinthelastdolar (9/5)-The 5-year-old blasted off the gate 2, 3 and 4 back to win and some efforts came with outside draws. Can’t follow that plan successfully every time, and Bartlett didn’t have the pedal through the floorboard leaving from the 7-hole in last. Could start a new win streak tonight as landing on the engine shouldn’t be a difficult task.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

2-Copperfield (8/5)-Shipped back from KY for the last start and finished 2nd in the first try on Lasix. Bartlett knows how to beat this kind with the 4-year-old, and it should be all systems go leaving from the inside.
7-Soho Dow Jones A (5-1)-Took control early on, didn’t look back and now bumps up. Went off at 1/5 last time and could be somewhat overlooked with this post draw. Needs a trip but has beaten better here in the past. Best to respect as the Dilloian barn is clicking at a 28% win rate over the last 30 days.

$2 Late Pick 4
