It's President's Day in the USA and Family Day in Canada; so for those of you celebrating a holiday today, I hope you are enjoying your day of leisure. As for me, I'll be spending my time today yet again chasing The Great White Whale that is the Golden Pick Six at Golden Gate.
RACE 4 - (F) MSW - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 3 Seattle Music (Morning Line 9-2)
# 4 Cochinero (ML 5-2)
# 5 Ascent (ML 6-5)
# 6 Envahir (ML 4-1)
C's
None
Seattle Music, Ascent, and Envahir have all been earning gradually increasing Beyer Speed Figures, and each of the three finished in the money at this class level in their respective last out races. Ascent makes her second career start for Trainer Greg James, who wins with approximately 24% of such.
RACE 5 - (F) Clm $20k - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 1 Augustina de Aragon (ML 9-5)
# 2 McBoomer (ML 2-1)
C’s
None
# 3 No Slippahs (ML 20-1) has been scratched.
Augustina de Aragon drops back down in class to a level where she has proven herself to be competitive.
# 6 Wink and Wish (ML 5-2) crossed the wire first against McBoomer last time out; so why is McBoomer on our tickets but not Wink and Wish? One reason is because that last race was on turf, while today's contest is on the synthetic main track. Wink and Wish is better on the turf than she is on the synthetics, while McBoomer has proven herself to be equally proficient on both turf and plastic. Another reason is because I think Wink and Wish gave a peak performance in that last contest, and will probably regress; while McBoomer has shown the ability to maintain this form over several races.
RACE 6 - (F) Md $8k - Five and a Half Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 5 Dance Affair (ML 5-2)
# 6 Hub Cap (ML 2-1)
C’s
None
Dance Affair took the Show at this class level last time out. Hub Cap has taken the Place at this class level and against more expensive in two of her last three contests.
RACE 7 - The Lost In The Fog $50k - Six Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 1 Marino's Wild Cat (ML 7-2)
# 4 Exit Stage Left (ML 5-2)
# 6 Mah Gellin (ML 8-1)
C’s
None
The last time Marino's Wild Cat sprinted on the synthetic (three starts back) he earned a Beyer Speed Figure that would be a career best Beyer for any of the other runners in this field; though it was not a career best for Marino's Wild Cat. Exit Stage Left, making his first start in almost thirteen months, is a career three-for-three, all in Listed Stakes. Mah Gellin missed winning the running of this contest last year by less than a length.
RACE 8 - (F) Clm $12.5k N2X - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 1 Up the Alley (ML 4-1)
# 3 Beautranda (ML 3-1)
C’s
None
# 5 Clever Expansion (ML 9-2) has been scratched.
Up the Alley took the Place at this class level last time out, finishing behind Awesome Lookn, who defeated more expensive her next time out. Beautranda has a late running style that could suit her well in this contest's projected pace scenario.
RACE 9 - (F) Md $8k - Five and a Half Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 2 Hugsforhennyhall (ML 2-1)
# 3 Eddies Little Lady (ML 9-2)
# 8 Vegas Luck (ML 9-5)
C’s
None
# 6 Golden Babe (ML 10-1) has been scratched.
Hugsforhennyhall took the Show against more expensive last time out. Eddies Little Lady takes the big drop from the non-claiming maiden ranks, as well as turning back in distance. Vegas Luck drops down the class ladder while shipping in from the southern part of the state.
OK, that's the analysis. Everything's an "A" Selection and goes on a single ticket, because what better way to find out whether or not this is the luckiest day of our lives. So with that we get:
All A Entries
$0.20 P6: 3,4,5,6 with 1,2 with 5,6 with 1,4,6 with 1,3 with 2,3,8 $57.60
Total: $57.60
Post Time for Race 4 is 5:12 EST / 2:12 PST. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
