A friendly reminder from Yonkers Raceway that Thursday evening’s (Jan. 10th) Pick 5 wager starts with a carryover of $4,889.26 and a $15,000 guaranteed pool. The guarantee is in conjunction with the U.S. Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
The Pick 5 is a 50-cent base wager comprising races 7 through 11 Thursday night. It has no consolation payoff, meaning if no one selects all five winners (as was the case Tuesday night), the entire pool (minus takeout) moves to the next racing program.
Northfield Track Announcer Ayers Ratliff’s free handicapping tips are provided for our IdaBet.com players.
Remember, due to their draw schedule, picks are made in advance and do not account for scratches or late driver changes.
From the WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9
Race 1: 1- Victoria Swan – Draws the rail upon coming to Cleveland and could get the job done. 2- Miss Rigs – Made the
ticket in both of her most recent races and could be right there again tonight. 6- Alana’s Ways – Could make the ticket if she is
completely over the sickness she had the last time she was scheduled to compete. 8- Kanawha – Could grab a piece of the action
despite starting from the far outside.
Race 2: 5- Mcport In A Storm – Gets the top-call to start tonight’s Pick 5. 6- Orion’s Belt – Could do well in here with the right
trip. 2- A Bettor World – Draws well and looks to be tough in here.
Race 3: 1- Rhoneycrisp – Could get the job from the rail. 6- Yolo Lucky – Another that looks to have a big shot in here.
4- Guido Hanover – Looks to be in the thick of the action. 5- Turn Two – Should not be overlooked as a solid contender in here.
Race 4: 6- Keystone Charles – Draws into a race where several could win; this one gets the slight call over several others to
get the job done in here. 1- Luckeye Rei – Looks to be a solid contender from the rail. 8- Saint Peter – Could make the ticket
despite starting from the far outside. 4- Allegiance – Has as good of a shot as any in here to complete the Superfecta.
Race 5: 6- U-Bomb Hanover – Could get the job done if she minds her manners. 1- Herbie’s Glider – Could do well from the
rail. 9- Jailhouse Hooch – Could make the ticket from the second tier. 4- Queen Of Racing – Could add value to the exotics.
Race 6: 5- Quatra Folium – Looks to have drawn into a weak field; this one could be tops in...
Hump Day “Lock” is at Northfield Park on race 15 with the #1-Native’s Best Bet-Beaten Fav will make amends from the rail for driver Ronnie Wrenn.
Last “Lock” won again! Howard now has 5 in a row! His “LOCK PICKS” record now stands at: 333 of 536 wins with 98 seconds and 29 thirds.

Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
1ST RACE – (5) NORTHERN ASSASSIN A has not disgraced after handful of selections last season. Done no favor with tepid pole leave in ’18 finale, though.
4TH RACE – (5) BETTOREVER has seen better days as in 1-for-27 a season ago. Was used up in quickie Jersey fractions in last, returns here as bottom feeder.
6TH RACE – (1) SWELLENDAM may not be much in the value department, having won handily last time with these. Gets a rare good draw, gets himself a nod.
8TH RACE – (4) BB’S HARLEY left here as a ’25,’ now priced to move for 20-large. That number seemed a good Philly fit, so taken to repeat in seasonal bow.
10TH RACE – (3) IDEAL TYSON A did end last season with solid, off-pace try before a no-chance trip. Surmise dip down ladder, suspect comp. work for him.
12TH RACE – (8) DOCTOR BUTCH continues godawful draws, but this one comes with some needed rival respite. Despite impost, surmising finale aggression.
Thank you for a great season and choosing IdaBet as the spot to place your wagers!
