Sunday's promotion is a $100k Horseshoe Pitch, which is scheduled to be held after Race 7; so good luck to all those onsite who will be hoping to get the opportunity to toss a ringer. Hopefully we'll still be in the game ourselves at that point, as we take another run at The Golden Pick Six at the place where the Bay comes to play.
RACE 4 - Clm $6.25k - Six Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 1 Blazingulch (Morning Line 2-1)
B’s
# 4 Whatahandsomecat (ML 9-5)
C's
# 2 Blowmeaway (ML 3-1)
Note that none of the entrants in this contest finished in the money last time out; that's something you sure don't see often. Blazingulch looks to be just a bit quicker than Whatahandsomecat. I'm not concerned about the ten pound apprentice on Blazingulch, as the rider's strategy for this one should be simple enough: get out in front and ride the rail. Blowmeaway could be the one running best late if the two front runners should falter.
RACE 5 - Clm $16k - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 4 Indygo Bo (ML 2-1)
B’s
# 1 Royal Banker (GB) (ML 3-1)
# 2 Sizzlin' Joe (ML 5-2)
C's
None
Indygo Bo and Royal Banker (GB) have been hitting the board of late against more expensive stock, and both look to be well meant here. Sizzlin' Joe has visited the Winner's Circle five of the six times that he has competed over this main track, and looks to be the one that will pick up the pieces should Indygo Bo and Royal Banker duel each other into exhaustion.
RACE 6 - (F) Md $16k - Five and a Half Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 4 Ron's Answer (ML 2-1)
B's
None
C's
# 1 La Canpamocha (ML 5-1)
# 7 Play Nice (ML 10-1)
Scratch # 5 Kykee (ML 9-2)
Ron's Answer took the Place against more expensive two starts back, and looks to be the quickest in this field. La Canpamocha will try to defeat Ron's Answer on the front end by riding the rail, while Play Nice deserves another look based upon the way that she's been working since her debut last time out.
RACE 7 - (F) ALW N1X - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A's
# 1 Roianna (ML 10-1)
# 4 Doris Johnson (ML 5-2)
B's
# 3 Anythingcanhappen (ML 9-2)
# 6 Rose Among Thorns (ML 3-1)
C's
# 7 Tiz a Tommy Town (ML 5-1)
Roianna won by daylight last time out; and while she is moving up in class off that contest, Roianna did take the Place at this approximate class level three starts back. Doris Johnson looks to be quickest here, and could lead this field all the way around the track.
Anythingcanhappen advanced well in her first start among winners last time out. Rose Among Thorns misses by two heads of being in the midst of a four race winning streak. Tiz a Tommy Town took the Show at this class level two starts back.
RACE 8 - Clm $4k B - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 2 Gurnick (ML 4-1)
B's
# 3 Super Indian (Fr) (ML 9-2)
C's
# 1 North Pacific (ML 12-1)
# 6 Rob's Pal (ML 5-2)
# 8 Lucky Shoes to Win (ML 12-1)
Scratch # 7 Athens (ML 2-1)
This contest is restricted to runners which have either:
1) Not won a race in 2017; OR
2) Which have never won four races.
So as long as a horse has fewer than four career Wins, he's eligible to run in this race. If a horse has four career Wins or more, than none of those Wins could have been this year in order for the horse to be entered here (note that Claiming and Starter Races for $3.5k or less don't count when computing the Win totals). For the record, Super Indian (Fr) and Rob's Pal are the only two runners in this field with fewer than four career Wins.
Gurnick took the Show at this class level last time out, and looks to be the best of this bunch. The only concern for Gurnick is if there'll be enough pace for him to close into. Super Indian (Fr) should be well placed early, and could get a nice rail trip, as there's no one quicker to his inside.
North Pacific won by as many as he pleased last time out against cheaper. Rob's Pal has been showing steady improvement over his last few races. Lucky Shoes to Win could get a nice stalking trip from the outermost post.
RACE 9 - (F) Md $12.5k - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 7 Deanns Mojave (ML 3-1)
# 9 Hellacious Hadlee (ML 9-2)
B's
# 1 Golden Bubbles (ML 10-1)
# 4 Kodianne (ML 6-1)
# 8 Her Big Moment (ML 7-2)
C's
None
Scratch # 2 Silver Minx (ML 10-1)
Deanns Mojave took the Show against more expensive in each of her two prior career starts. Hellacious Hadlee missed graduation by just a head at this class level last time out, and should be the one leading the field early.
Golden Bubbles was right behind Hellacious Hadless at the wire last time out. Kodianne missed graduation by just a head at this class level last time out, albeit while racing around just one turn. Her Big Moment ships in from downstate, and could move up with the class drop.
OK, that's the analysis. While this is a jackpot wager, we won't be putting all our selections on one ticket. While we still hold out hope that this could be the luckiest day of our lives, budgetary constraints must be respected. I think it's also safe to presume that our "A" Selections won't form the basis of a unique ticket, so we should be safe in pressing those up. So with all that, playing our tickets in Crist fashion, we get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P6: 1 with 4 with 4 with 1,4 with 2 with 7,9 $4.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.20 P6: 1,4 with 1,2,4 with 4 with 1,3,4,6 with 2,3 with 1,4,7,8,9 $48.00
A's with One C
$0.20 P6: 2 with 4 with 4 with 1,4 with 2 with 7,9 $0.80
$0.20 P6: 1 with 4 with 1,7 with 1,4 with 2 with 7,9 $1.60
$0.20 P6: 1 with 4 with 4 with 7 with 2 with 7,9 $0.40
$0.20 P6: 1 with 4 with 4 with 1,4 with 1,6,8 with 7,9 $2.40
Total: $57.20
Post Time for Race 4 is 5:19 EDT / 2:19 PDT. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
