Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card, and the $1.00 Pick 5 begins in Race 5. The sequence 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 EST)

1-Racing Rampage (5/2)-Rallied in a big way to finish 2nd against better and that effort came from post 8. Now, moves into the 1-hole and drops. Logical play and Matt Kakaley should work an efficient trip.
4-Mulinax (9/5)-Beat easier in Philly, steps up but should fit with this field and Bartlett gets the call. Not loving the short price but should bring speed off the car.

Race 8 (9:05 PM EST)

4-Jumpingjackmac N (2-1)-Dilloian trainee was 0-12 before the last 2 starts and now is riding a 2-race win streak. Recent form has been too good to ignore and should get another on the point or in the pocket trip with Yannick Gingras at the controls. Steps up and could keep winning.
5-Lou Hill (5/2)-If the Per Engblom pupil is all systems "go" he could be posing. But is only 1-22 and 0-2 at Yonkers and hasn’t race since 11-24. Bartlett does stick and Lou should be on the engine or in the 2-hole following the program choice Jumping Jac Mac. Need to use in what appears to be a chalking leg.

Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)

1-Manferno (9/2)-Won and then moved up to face similar and came 3rd. Draws the 1 hole, same as in the 152.4 win that came 2 back. Should be racing at the top of the stack and will fade #3 Sugar Man the 8/5 choice. Has been the favorite in the last 2 efforts and can offer more value here.
6-Blue Lou (7/2)-Lou was the runner-up 2 back against this kind and then won last time against easier. This is the 3rd start since shipping in from Stga and Kakaley has good gate speed to use. It appears its best chance to win is to leave hard, land on top or in the pocket and that can happen even from post 6.

Race 10 (9:45 PM EST)

4-Yorokobi N (8-1)-Will take a swing for a price. This is the 3rd start off the bench and has closed nicely to hit the board in both races. Has beat better than this at Yonkers in the summer. Has trouble winning (1-27) this year, but with an inside post draw should be in the hunt at a large price.
5-Santana Hanover -Drops and has been close versus better, that's the good news. Bartlett will have the 5-year-old in a position to win and is a must use but can't completely trust.

$2 Late Pick 4

1,4/4,5/1,6/4,5
Total Bet=$32
