Yonkers Raceway has a 10-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 7, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)

2-Panettone Hanover (2-1)-Bumps up after posting a win with a .55 back half to roll by and draw off by almost 5 lengths. Regular driver Jordan Stratton steers for his brother and he should have in play down the lane.
3-Deetzy (4-1)-Recent form has been dull, now drops and hasn’t been in this soft in quite a while. This movie has played here before. Brent Holland leaves, lands on the point and makes every call a winning at a square price.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)

4-Soho Firestone A (4-1)-Made a rare break in stride in the Aria on 9-13 and requalified on 9-19 in a snappy 151.4. The Dilloian trainee hit the board in 11 out of 14 with 4 wins on the Hilltop. After that qualifier the veteran appears ready to take a picture.
7-Jamaican Rock A (5/2)-Started from the 8-hole in the Aria and didn’t have pace to close into and finished a beaten 3rd. Matt Kakaley gets the call and he has won with the Aussie bred before. Will look for an aggressive drive, could blast out and be difficult to tackle if gets the lead off the car.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

1-Vicious (2-1)-Shipped in from M1 five back. Has won every other start since then and has finished 2nd in the other races. If the pattern holds, he finishes 2nd here but from the rail another win is well within reach.
2-Hemsworth N (7/2)-Beat this kind 2 back and then faced the Invites in last. Didn’t take any money leaving from post 3, went off at 39-1 and never got involved. A picture is more likely on the drop and could be on the back of Vicious all the way around and trip out for the win.

Race 10 (9:45 PM EDT)

4-Night Hawk (5/2)-Needs a close-up seat to win and did so from this same post on 7-29. That picture came against this kind with George Brennan between the pipes working a sharp steer. Tonight, the same pilot needs to be in reach of the leader turning for the wire.
5-Wattsup Sunshine A (7/2)-Went off at 8/5 and tried to go gate to wire. That plan failed, faded down the lane, and now drops. Recent form has been dull but that was against better. Did beat this kind and tougher in July. Tyler Buter could be headed for the top and that can lead to an overdue win.

$2 Late Pick 4
