Yonkers Raceway has 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 it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6 (8:25 PM EDT)

3-Mach N Cheese (10-1)-Looking for a price with a suspect bunch and will fade the rail horse at 7/5. The Mike Forte entry could stay close to the leaders with this post draw and roll by down the lane. That script was followed back in April and is overdue for another win.
5-Peace Out Posse (6-1)-Drops again and may finally wake up. The team Stratton trainee was pace compromised in last and did go the back half in 54.3 but a 58.3 first half hurt chances. Looking for a square price and this affair should have an honest pace.
7-Churchviewfrankl IR (5-1)-Made the first start for the Lachance barn and couldn’t catch the leader. Did take some money and might be used aggressively off the car this time. If the start of the race goes well the finish should too, best to not overlook.

Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)

1-Why Tomorrow Ray (8/5)-Program chalk was flat down the lane in last but missed a start between races. Will offer a short price but Bartlett is in a better spot to control the mile. Has consistently been in the hunt and this time might be ready to seal the deal.
5-Ameritric (7/2)-Came off a win 2 back then was bet down to 8/5 in last and came 2nd in the same race as the chalk (1). Got involved in a contentious opening quarter leaving from the rail. Never really got a break and was overtaken by the pocket horse. This race could set up differently, the price will be better and Jim Marohn has options leaving from post 5.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

4-American Dealer N (2-1)-Linda Toscano 8-yr-old is only 2 for 13 this year and those wins came way back in April. Has been trying but most important gets needed class relief now. Plus, Jason Bartlett steers for the first time since the veteran arrived at Yonkers.
5-Manferno (3-1)-Comes off a sharp win from post 8 against $60k claimers. This will be a test, but the Stratton entry doesn’t look out of place and the post draw should help. Has big gate speed and Tyler Buter could land on the point when the wings fold. In 14 races driving for this barn, Buter has posted 6 wins and should offer a fair price tonight.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

1-Rock The Belles (6-1)-Went a 52.3 mile 2-back leaving from post 5 to lose by a neck. Tried to go gate to wire that night and the same last week. Was used hard from post 6 to get on the point and the trip took its toll. My take is Dan Dube gets a pocket ride here and is worth a swing at close to the morning line price.
2-Vici (3-1)-Dropped to face this kind in last but was stuck with post 7. Will toss the no-move mile and now George Brennan gets the assignment. This is a different horse when leaving from the inside and should be in the hunt from start to finish.
