Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 with a $10,000 guaranteed pool rolls in Race 5. The $1.00 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 (8:45 PM EDT)

1-All Alone (5/2)-Drops to a level where a win could happen. Has had the 8-8-7 posts in the last 3 races. Will benefit from this post draw and the new pilot Joe B, will have in play when the wings fold.
6-The Ideal Dancer A (6-1)-This race could set up for a stalker and Pat Lachance could go that route. The price is right to use because the veteran has back class and has enough gate speed to be in play early on. Could pay off at a price with the right trip.

Race 7 (9:05 PM EDT)

3-Vicious (5-1)-Comes off a 3rd place finish at PPc and was flying late. Raced from the backfield, was 10 lengths from the leader at the first call. Missed 3 weeks before the last race, and now regular pilot Tyer Buter is back. Will look for an aggressive drive and could be over looked.
4-Copperfield (5/2)-Was used hard off the car at PcD on a sloppy track and faded to come 5th. Jason Bartlett is not in the house tonight so Colin Kelly steers for Engblom and will look for a big try.
5-It’s a Me Mario (5-1)-Not sure what to think here. Started the Borgata Series with a 2nd place finish and a win. Then was put away and requalified on 4-24 and won. Now comes back to face a beatable field if 100%. Using at a 5-1 ML and will hope the Tritton trainee is dialed on high.

Race 8 (9:25 PM EDT)

1-Quote Me Not N (3-1)-Came 2nd against the $30k claimers and hasn’t connected versus this kind. Same can be said for the entire field. The Engblom trainee lost by 1/2 length in the last 2 starts and will look for better leaving from the 1-hole.
5-Alta Classic A (9/2)-Has been close against the $30k claimers but hasn’t won a race since January. Brent Holland had the pedal down and left from post 6 into a .27 opening quarter. Worked to get on the point and then faded. This time could get a pocket ride or land on the point and may have an easier time off the gate. Does come back in sequence and had missed a start before the last race.

Race 9 (9:45 PM EDT)

4-Always A Thrill (9/5)-The Alexander trainee lands in a soft spot. The same could be said for Mattai Phil but he draws the 8-hole. Matt Kakaley should be able to work the right trip for a win. Could leave, get on the engine, and not look back.
