4/2/16 Golden Gate Fields Golden Pick 6 - Preview

It's the first Saturday in April; just one more month until the big day in Kentucky.  But that's the future; for the present we're going to change things up just a bit and move our action upstate to Golden Gate Fields, and take a run at The Golden Pick Six.

RACE 4 - (F) OC 62k/N2X - Eight Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 4 She's Flush (Morning Line 9-5)

B’s

None

C's

# 2 Mon Petite (ML 3-1)

She's Flush took the Place at this class level last time out.  Mon Petite, trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, took the Show at this class level on the grass two starts back and the Place at this class level on the synthetic three starts back.  Mon Petite should improve going second off the layoff, but the career oh-for-seven on the fake stuff is a concern.

RACE 5 - Clm $10k - Eight Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 4 Intermix (Ire) (ML 7-2)
# 8 Misdeed (ML 3-1)

B’s

None

C's

# 5 Six Votes (ML 20-1)
# 6 Pocket Prince (ML 5-1)

Scratch # 1 Quackin (ML 12-1)

Intermix (Ire) missed by less than a length against more expensive two starts back.  Intermix has finished in the Exacta in seven of his eight career starts over this main track.

Misdeed was in over his head last time out against Allowance company, and should do well at this class level.  Six Votes could steal it on the front end.  Pocket Prince won at this class level last time out.

RACE 6 - ALW NC - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A's

# 1 Mah Gellin (ML 5-2)
# 2 Streamside (ML 3-1)
# 3 Hypnatique (ML 12-1)
# 4 Quick and Silver (ML 7-2)
# 6 Moonshine Bay (ML 8-1)
# 7 Marino's Wild Cat (ML 6-1)

B's

None

C's

None

Scratch # 5 Sahara Sky (ML 9-2)

God bless you if you have a handle on this race; because I sure don't.  So this is me hitting the "ALL" button and moving on.

RACE 7 - (F) MSW - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 3 Dancing Lindsay (ML 8-5)
# 4 Unusually Talented (ML 9-2)

B's

None

C's

None

Scratch # 2 Vaazzee (ML 20-1) and # 5 Majestic Fantasy (ML 6-1)

Dancing Lindsay took the Place in her debut last time out for Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.  Unusually Talented showed good early speed in her debut last time out.

RACE 8 - (F) ALW N1X - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A's

# 1 Glamsquad (ML 3-1)
# 2 Implicated (ML 7-2)
# 6 Taparri (ML 6-1)

B's

None

C's

None

Glamsquad took the Place at this class level two starts back; Taparri took the Show in that contest.  Implicated led most of the way at this class level last time out before settling for the Show.

RACE 9 - (F) Alw 40000s N2X - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 1 Meet Miss Kitty (ML 5-2)

B’s

None

C's

# 8 Heat Me (ML 6-1)

Scratch # 2 Elle Woods Too (ML 7-2)

Note for future reference that this one is for horses that have never won two races (N2X), as that information won't be found in the running lines of future DRF Past Performances (at least not until they finally fix that flaw).  The only exception is # 8 Heat Me, who gets a pass because both of her career victories were for under $16k.

Meet Miss Kitty won her debut by daylight last time out, and she projects to be the quickest in this field.  Heat Me missed by just a length at this class level last time out, after taking the Show at this class level three starts back.

OK, that's the analysis.  Since this is a jackpot wager we would normally just throw everything on one ticket in the hopes that today was the luckiest day of our lives.  However, sometimes you have to respect budgetary constraints.  So with that, playing our tickets in Crist fashion, we get:

All A Entries

$0.20 P6: 4 with 4,8 with ALL with 3,4 with 1,2,6 with 1 $14.40

A's with One C

$0.20 P6: 2 with 4,8 with ALL with 3,4 with 1,2,6 with 1 $14.40
$0.20 P6: 4 with 5,6 with ALL with 3,4 with 1,2,6 with 1 $14.40
$0.20 P6: 4 with 4,8 with ALL with 3,4 with 1,2,6 with 8 $14.40

Total: $57.60

Post Time for Race 4 is 5:15 EDT / 2:15 PDT.  Good luck to all.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
