The Southern California thoroughbred circuit moves on to Los Alamitos for the Los Angeles County Fair Meet; the dates that in years gone bye that belonged to Fairplex. And while I very much enjoy playing the thoroughbreds at Los Alamitos, they have unfortunately once again, as they did during their Summer Meet, priced me out of the game by doubling the usual minimum wager for a Pick Four play from fifty cents to a dollars. So, since I can't magically double my bankroll, for the time being I'll be shifting my action upstate, where I will be taking a run at The Late Pick Four at The Bay's Best Bet.
RACE 6 - (F) Clm $20k N2L - Eight and a Half Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 3 Christiana's Song (Morning Line 6-5)
B’s
# 2 Splashing (ML 12-1)
# 4 Fast Bid (Ire) (ML 3-1)
C's
# 1 Red Glitter (ML 15-1)
# 5 Dadlani (ML 20-1)
# 6 International Diva (Ire) (ML 4-1)
# 7 Miss Shirley C (ML 9-2)
Christiana's Song, trained by John Martin, is taking a big class drop here and should be well rested. Splashing, trained by Duane Offield, has run well in her previous five tries on the turf. Fast Bid (Ire), trained by Isidro Tamayo, fits well at this level and could improve with the return to grass. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
RACE 7 - (F) MSW - Six Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 2 Silk Ransom (ML 5-2)
B's
# 3 Candycane Kate (ML 5-1)
# 4 Blushing Bay (ML 9-5)
C's
# 1 Respect My Candor (ML 3-1)
# 5 Kee Forest (ML 8-1)
# 6 Bounty of Gold (ML 10-1)
Silk Ransom and Candycane Kate are a pair of first time starters for Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who tends to do well with such. Blushing Bay ran well in her debut last time out, once she realized that there was a race going on and she was in it. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
RACE 8 - Clm $20k - Eight Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 7 Drouillard (ML 5-2)
B’s
# 6 Home Run Kitten (ML 3-1)
C's
# 1 Lil' Chieftain (ML 10-1)
# 2 Southern Loyalty (ML 15-1)
# 3 Street Lad (ML 9-2)
# 4 Kitten's Royal (ML 4-1)
# 5 Kenzou's Rhythm (ML 6-1)
# 8 Royal Banker (GB) (ML 15-1)
Note that none of the entrants in the contest finished in the money last time out, which makes it a little tricky to determine who is and isn't in good form. Drouillard and Home Run Kitten, both trained by Jonathan Wong, both look well meant every time that they get on the lawn; so those are the two get go on the big ticket. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
RACE 9 - (F) Md $8k - Six Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 6 Two Timing Lucy (ML 2-1)
B's
# 1 A Brides Song (ML 6-1)
# 2 Amabella (ML 10-1)
# 3 Filina (ML 10-1)
# 4 Quadrillionaire (ML 5-1)
# 5 Mariana's Girl (ML 9-2)
C's
None
Scratch # 7 Tengas Angel (ML 3-1)
This is another contest where none of the runners managed to finish in the money last time out; and, you know, I'm just not going to mess with it. The Jonathan Wong trained Two Timing Lucy looks to be the classiest of the bunch, so she goes on top; but otherwise it's everyone into the pool, as I'm punching the "ALL" button for this leg.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in modified Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 3 with 2 with 7 with 6 $1.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 2,3,4 with 2,3,4 with 6,7 with ALL $54.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 1,5,6,7 with 2 with 7 with 6 $2.00
$0.50 P4: 3 with 1,5,6 with 7 with 6 $1.50
$0.50 P4: 3 with 2 with 1,2,3,4,5,8 with 6 $3.00
Total: $61.50
Post Time for Race 6 is 6:45 EDT / 3:45 PDT. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
