Yonkers Raceway has a 9-race card. The 0.50 Pick 5 rolls in Race 5, and the sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. 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 (8:40 PM EST)
2-Fulsome (3-1)-Showed good gate speed at M1 in last but didn’t finish with enough gusto to win. Joe B will probably work the same plan and he could land on top. Should respect chances, hasn’t been in this soft at Yonkers in a long time.
5-Karloo Bradley N (7/2)-Drops to spot to shine, Jason Bartlett could leave and get a pocket ride. That type of journey could mean a trip to the winner’s circle.
Race 7 (9:00 PM EST)
2-Funatthebeach N (7/2)-Classy veteran rolled by down the lane against this condition in typical fashion. Faces the same kind and the pace could be more lively tonight. That won’t hurt chances if Jordan Stratton rolls off cover.
4-Rockin Jukebox (3-1)-This 10-year-old might be able to muscle his way to get on the engine or at least land in a close-up seat. Best to not overlook, fits and has won 22% of its Yonkers starts.
Race 8 (9:20 PM EST)
2-Major Desire (4-1)-Draws inside which makes the 7-year-old a player at this class and gets a positive driver change in Jason Bartlett. This is a logical use.
5-Ozone Blue Chip (3-1)-Makes its 3rd start at this level since being claimed by conditioner Ricky Bucci for himself. Raced better in last but got a bumpy trip, best to respect chances of cashing the top check tonight.
Race 9 (9:40 PM EST)
3-Arden Messi N (3-1)-Comes off setting a new lifetime mark of 149.4. That’s a performance worth noting even though it happened at Philly. Takes a double bump up, so should be a fair price, and will use versus this bunch.
5-All Alone (9/5)-Morning line chalk drops to a spot to shine and should have his way with this crew. Many will probably single but can’t completely trust the 4-year-old. Will respect, this is the Engblom-Bartlett combo is at the controls.
$1.00 Late Pick 4
