Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 with a $2,116 carryover 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)1-Verdun (7/5) -This is the best horse but drawing the rail doesn’t help the cause as much as it would others. That said Pat Lachance knows well and if in striking range down the lane it could be picture time.4-Humble A (3-1)-My take is George Brennan has the lead around the first turn, if not should be no worse than 2nd. Comes off a big win in an extra distance race and could stay good for another W.Race 7 (8:45 PM EDT)1-Chase H Hanover (9/5)-ANap will have the pedal down and there won’t be any mystery. The Stratton trainee is in sharp form and will be looking to play catch me if you can. The short money line, in a tough race is an issue but can post a win if catches a breather on the front end.3-Hemsworth N (7/2)-The Bako trainee has tactical speed, can blast out or look to come off cover. My guess is Scott Zeron gets a good early seat and hopes for some hot fractions. That might happen and could catch the leader with a well timed move.5-Dunkin (4-1)-Winner of 2 straight is at the top of its game and might offer some value. The DiDomenico trainee has made it look easy but not sure he can go gate to wire here. Can win coming off cover, and it’s been a while but knows how to string pictures together.Race 8 (9:05 PM EDT)2-The Ideal Dancer A (3-1)-Jason Bartlett takes the lines tonight and he can get maximum effort out of this veteran. Skipped a start here, and before the previous race. Is a threat if dialed on high and will assume so. Should be in the mix at the wire with an inside post draw.4-Steet Hawk N (5/2)-Steps up after making it look easy winning from post 8. Rolled by with a .55 back half and Yannick Gingras should provide a smooth trip again. Not sure how good the NZ invader can be at Yonkers but won’t let him beat me in only its 3rd US start.Race 9 (9:25 PM EDT)1-Curbside Pickup (5/2)-Made its Burke barn debut a success by easily beating the $40k claimers leaving from post 5. Faces the $50k claimers here and it could be a more difficult challenge. But knows how to dance with this kind and drawing the rail should not hurt chances of winning right back.4-Peace Out Posse (3-1)-Gingras is on the one above, he should get the top and Jordan Stratton will be looking to stay in contact with the leader. If they don’t walk to the half the team Stratton entry should be in striking range to tackle the leader down the lane.$2 Late Pick 41,4/1,3,5/2,4/1,4Total Bet=$48Check me out on Twitter!

Northfield Park has a big 16-race card with the $1.00 Late Pick 4 starting in Race 11. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 11 (9:40 PM EDT)1-Survivin Fire (4-1)-Ships back from ScD after being stuck with post 10 and that helped snap a 2-race win streak. Has a perfect 2 for 2 record at Nfld, could bounce back and take another picture here.5-Anna Loves Bananas (2-1)-Leaving from post 7, got on the engine and went to the 3/4's in 1.23 at MVR and faded to lose by less than a length. Looking for an aggressive steer and to not burn much gas getting on the engine.Race 12 (10:02 PM EDT)1-Irresistible Son (7-1)-Will toss last, lost all chance after being knocked out with an xi. Won the previous race versus this kind leaving from post 2 and taking charge early on. Should look to follow the same game plan.2-Truly Unbelievable (2-1)-Went the back half in 57.3 last time to post a win in the same race as the one above. Loses Ronnie Wrenn but picks up Brett Miller. Odds on winner will be a small price, and the race will likely go through this mare.Race 13 (10:24 PM EDT)4-Euphoria Rising (3-1)-Saw action on 4-14 at MVR and then qualified at ScD with a nice tune-up on 5-12. Those last efforts make this the 2nd chalk in race without much form. Using at what should be a square price and will look for Miller to being headed for the point off the gate.6-Dancin Suzy (12-1)-Suzy steps-up to face tougher coming off a nice gate to wire score. Will take a swing at a price as Justin Irvine has gate speed to use to get a close-up seat. Needs the right trip but best to not dismiss.Race 14 (10:46 PM EDT)4-Spaaaanzano (8/5)-Won at 1/5 in last and now faces Open Handicap company for the 1st time. Has hit the board in all 4 Nfld races and has taken 2 pictures. Aaron Merriman sticks and has good tactical speed. Gets a post edge on the 4 horses to the outside that are proven contenders at this level, and that could be the winning difference.6-Cornstar (25-1)-Comes back from the Meadows, wasn't bet and lost all chance after breaking stride. Fits at this level and will use at a price with Brett Miller between the pipes. Has won 7 of 23 at Nfld and if the fractions are hot this mare could be the best down the lane.$1.00 Late Pick 41,5/1,2/4,6/4,6Total Bet=$16Check me out on Twitter!

Close out Preakness Day in style with some action from Sha Tin in Hong Kong! Hopefully you’re riding high with a flush bankroll after a long day at Old Hilltop and are ready to parlay your winnings into even more cold, hard cash. First post at Sha Tin is 12:45 am ET.Hong Kong Power Ratings ROI to date: +64%Highlights: 25/1 Exacta and 18/1 Quinella played at Happy Valley on WednesdayHelpful ResourcesSha Tin – May 18 (First Post: 12:45AM ET)Past PerformancesSpeed Pro Pace ProjectionsUnique Bet TypesSWINGER – Select at least two runners to finish in the top three in a race in any order, get paid for each correct combinationQUINELLA – Select the top two runners in a race in any order, get paid for each correct combinationTRIO – Select the top three runners in a race in any order, get paid for each correct combinationDOUBLE TRIO – Select the top three runners in TWO races in any orderMethodologyPower ratings are calculated by a mix of runner performance versus historical average, quality of the field in each race, weight-based handicaps, and lengths beaten or won. This is how I value past performance of each horse, and it helps me isolate horses worth handicapping further. Then I turn to classic pen-and-paper handicapping to see if there are any plays worth making.Race 4 | 1800M | Class 4Quinella Box – 2,3,4 – 0.5 unitsNotes: These three runners rate a clear step above the field in the Power Ratings, and we’ve got two good morning line prices along with the chalk. While none stand out from each other, these three should be played together and we’regoing to hope the two prices sneak in.Race 5 | 1000M | Class 4Exacta – 1 w/ 3 – 1 unitNotes: My Power Ratings have this race ending in a clean one-two punch with the field all well below these top runners. The prices aren’t anything to write home about, but we’ll play a full unit and try to make the most of a strong opinion.Race 7 | 1200M | Class 3Win – 2Exacta Box – 1,2 – 0.5 unitsNotes: The numbers came up with the chalk and a 26/1 morning line in 2 – BUNDLE OF CHARM who’s in the best barn in Hong Kong and gets a very respectable mount in Hugh Bowman. At those odds, we gotta play to win and make sure he’s in our exacta along with the market’s preference.Race 10 | 1600M | Class 3Quinella Box – 2,4,8 – 0.5 unitsNotes: My numbers have a five-way even split that includes the two shortest prices on the morning line. The other three, 2 – HUGE WAVE (17/2), 4 – NOBLE PURSUIT (26/1), and 8 – WINNING GOLD (11/1) are all in the same class with prices much more worthy of chasing. I’ll play all three in the Quinella and hope for a splash!
