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.$2 Late Pick 41,6/3,4,5/1,5/4Total Bet=$24Check me out on X!

Northfield Park has a 16-race card and the $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool with a 14% takeout, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 11 (9:40 PM EDT)1-Ima Beach Girl (5/2)-This will be the 4th start off the bench, has finished 3rd twice and has not won in 6 races at Nfld. Not loving the short price but needs to be included from the rail at this level. Tossed some hints last time from post 9 and will look a for an aggressive steer from Chris Lems.5-Baxter Tough (2-1)-MVR shipper has raced at Nfld twice and hit the board both times. Won 2 back at MVR, then didn't get the best of trips and came 3rd all with tonight's pilot Tyler Smith at the controls. Beaten chalk should have a clear path to get on the point and not look back.Race 12 (10:02 PM EDT)1-Dublin Breanna (2-1)-Faced the NW3 in last and drew of by 7 lengths in the slop. Should be a player tonight in the 1st BSS race this year and could double up.4-Lynn Range (7/2)-Ships in from MVR and came a good 2nd after leaving from the 7-hole. Looking for an aggressive steer and likes to win (14-9-2-0). The 3-year-old should be on top or no worse than in the pocket around the opening turn, and that trip could lead to a picture.Race 13 (10:24 PM EDT)7-Helium N (9/5)-Beaten chalk got a rough trip leaving from post 8 last week. Gave up the lead late in the mile and had missed a start. Last time was doubled bubbled into a 26.1 opening quarter and could be dangerous with a kinder trip this week.8-Miki Shan N (7/2)-Aaron Merriman left on 4-19, got the lead early on and didn't look back. Raced big from start to finish, if dialed on high after missing a start could double up. Doesn't need to lead every step of the way to win but should be racing near the top of the stack.Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)1-Nacho Rodeo (5/2)-Drops after leaving hard from post 8 and that trip didn't end well. The race before, left from post 9 and finished 2nd as was the case the start before. Now gets post relief, fits with this crew and is in a spot to post the 1st win of the year.3-Logo (5-1)-Knows how to beat this kind and benefits from some post relief here. Lems could look to get on the engine, does its best work on the point and should there with this post draw.9-Mass Market (6-1)-Raced evenly from the 3-hole, came 2nd by a neck versus this kind and was off a month between starts. Merriman steers, he is the regular pilot and when combining with the Kreiser barn they post 32% winners. Will look for a close-up seat off the car, and to be the best down the lane.$1 Late Pick 41,5/1,4/7,8/1,3,9Total Bet=$24Check me out on X!

Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. 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 (8:25 PM EDT)4-Strutsville (3-1)-Has been in the deep end of the pool in the last 4 starts and now drops to a comfortable level. Its last win was back on 2-20 and that was a step up from this condition. Hasn't shown any gate speed in the last 2 races but George Brennan should provide an aggressive steer against this kind.6-Staywiththewind (2-1)-Exits the UM Series and in those races didn't do better than a 4th place finish. Jason Bartlett drives for Doug Dilloian and those 2 combine for 39% winners. This is 1st time Bartlett as well and could be ready for the 1st win in 2026.Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)1-Tachyon (3-1)-Tried 4 times to qualify and finally put in a flat mile on 4-24. Bartlett steered in the last 2 races and now he sticks here despite breaking issues. This will be the 1st race since 2-27 and hopefully won't be over bet. Will use against this crew and when Bartlett and the Bucci barn combine they win 24% of their races.2-Energy King (7/2)-Camera shy 6-year-old drops to a spot where a win could happen. Jordon Stratton is at the controls, at this level he could look to get on the engine and not look back.5-Cactustotheclouds (5-1)-Dropped to this level in last and showed improvement. Did finish 3rd, the 2 that were ahead aren't in this field, and will use in a race without a standout.Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)4-Sunday Shoes (9/5)-Comes off an easy win as an odds-on choice and now bumps up. Mohawk shipper has won 2 of 3 at YR and took 8 pictures last year. This is a competitive 4-year-old and will string along despite facing tougher.6-Scudo Hanover (6-1)-Dropped to face this kind in last and wasn't handled aggressively when the wings folded. Fits, but will look for a more alert start and to be in play down the lane.Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)4-Over The Horizon (4-1)-Won 2 and 3 back versus this kind, then moved up and was a sick scratch on 4-2. Last raced on 4-22 at this level, faded to finish 2nd and was off a month between starts. Scott Zeron gets the call and will look for a bounce back effort.5-Full Support (6-1)-Has gotten the job done, is 0-11 this year but has showed some life in the last 3 starts. Doesn't like to take pictures but should be no worse than 2nd around the 1st turn and could be overlooked.6-Smooth Lou (5/2)-Beaten 8/5 chalk got the services of Bartlett in last and did improve to come 2nd. Will look for an even better effort and is another who should be forwardly placed.$1 Late Pick 44,6/1,2,5/4,6/4,5,6Total Bet=$36Check me out on X!
