Race 6 - # 3 Eurobadguy (Final Odds 1.10*) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - # 7 Alternate Time (9.70) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - # 4 Acosta (6.30) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - # 5 Brenda's Fever (6.70) - "B" Selection
Perhaps the blinkers made the difference, as there was no getting near Eurobadguy in the opening leg, as he won by nearly five lengths. Brenda's Fever winning the nightcap made for a nice way to end the card, and serves as a reminder that class droppers rule. Acosta is just one of things that happen when races come off the turf and the logical Favorite scratches; while first time starter Alternate Time ran like a well kept secret, getting under the wire in the second leg a head in front of Post Time Favorite (and "A" Selection) # 4 Tap Attack (0.80*).
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Primetime Pick Four sequence of 3 / 7 / 4 / 5 were rewarded with a payout of $522.10 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo

10/26/19 Remington Park Primetime Pick Four - Preview
Can you believe it? Day One of the Breeders' Cup is less than a week away! So this will be my last shot at increasing my bankroll prior to that event. Also, a programming note of sorts: Good Lord willing, this space will be focused on the Breeders' Cup next Friday and Saturday. However, those of you who plan on also (or only) playing Remington Park those two days, please be aware that, while Friday's card (featuring the $100k Clever Trevor Stakes for two year olds) will begin at its usual time of 8:00 EDT / 5 PDT, Post Time Saturday, November 2, has been moved up to 2:30 EDT / 11:30 PDT. So with all that let's get to it, as I take another run at The Primetime Pick Four at Remington Park.
RACE 6 - [S] MSW - Six and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 1 D C Hero (Morning Line 6-1)
B's
# 3 Eurobadguy (ML 4-5)
# 8 What Thinking (ML 8-1)
C's
# 2 Play a Trump (ML 20-1)
# 4 Back Episode (ML 6-1)
# 5 Friendly Freddy (ML 30-1)
# 6 Delta Surprise (ML 15-1)
# 7 Elijah Anet (ML 4-1)
Eurobadguy failed to make it into the Trifecta last time out at this class level while leaving the gate as the 9-10 Post Time Favorite. That marks the second time in his six race career that Eurobadguy failed to finish in the money as the Post Time Favorite. Perhaps adding the hood today will make a difference; but I'm not convinced. So even though Eurobadguy looks best here, and is in my opinion too good to leave completely off the main ticket, I decided to go elsewhere for the top spot.
D C Hero is a debut runner who shows a nice, steady work tab since August. The rail has been playing well at Remington Park this meet, which should offset any fears about a first time starter having to compete from the innermost post.
So D C Hero will be the "A" Selection in my play, over Eurobadguy. Add What Thinking, who took the Place at this class level last time out, to the main ticket; while all others will be used as backup "C" Selections.
RACE 7 - MSW - Six and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 4 Tap Attack (ML 9-5)
B's
# 2 Medal Maker (ML 15-1)
# 3 Muni Muni Slew (ML 9-2)
# 5 Algebra (ML 5-1)
C's
# 6 Derby Dog (ML 30-1)
# 7 Alternate Time (ML 6-1)
# 8 Aces Prince (ML 10-1)
# 9 Bandy's Map (ML 12-1)
# 10 Peekers Popeye (ML 30-1)
# 11 Rock City Rocket (ML 30-1)
# 12 Cintarosa (ML 30-1)
Scratch # 1 Liam (ML 8-1)
Tap Attack has finished in the Trifecta at this class level in each of his two career starts for Trainer Steve Asmussen. Medal Maker took the Place at this class level the last time he only had to go around one turn.
Algebra and Mun Muni Slew filled out the bottom two slots of the Trifecta at this class level last time out. The backup "C" Selections are the rest of the field.
RACE 8 - ALW N2X - Eight Furlongs Turf
EDIT - This Race Has Been Taken Off The Turf
A's
# 5 Valentine Street (ML 9-2)
B's
# 3 Bo Tee (ML 8-1)
C's
# 1 Most Mischief (ML 15-1)
# 2 Majestic Sign (ML 12-1)
# 4 Acosta (ML 15-1)
# 7 Fine Mate (ML 15-1)
# 9 Yeowzer (ML 20-1)
# 10 Easter Snap (ML 5-1)
Scratch # 8 Spiritual Warfare (ML 6-1); # 11 Theoryintopractice (ML 2-1); and # 12 He's No Saint (ML 15-1); # 6 Attentive (ML 20-1)
On the turf, Theoryintopractice looks much the best here. Off the turf, Theoryintopractice, with six wins on dirt, still looks best; maybe not much the best, but best enough. So either way, Theoryintopractice is my big ticket single; with all others being used as backup "C" Selections.
EDIT - Well, this race has been taken off the turf, and Theoryintopractice has been scratched. So back to work.
Valentine Street could be quickest here. Bo Tee has finished in the Exacta in half his dirt track starts. Attentive ran well in his last dirt race two starts back. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
EDIT 2 - And now Attentive has been scratched. The play and cost have been updated below.
RACE 9 - (F) Clm $5k B - Five and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 3 Willtheresaway (ML 7-2)
B's
# 4 Gorgeouswitha G (ML 3-1)
# 5 Brenda's Fever (ML 5-2)
# 11 Lil Miss de Buy (ML 12-1)
C's
# 1 Maryblueeyes (ML 20-1)
# 2 Sizzle Factor (ML 30-1)
# 6 Blum Blim (ML 50-1)
# 7 Frigidish (ML 8-1)
# 8 Hey Roxy (ML 30-1)
# 9 Spell Winder (ML 30-1)
# 10 Assembled Lady (ML 10-1)
# 12 Cat's Eternalflame (ML 8-1)
This contest is restricted to fillies and mares which have either:
1) Not won a race since July 26, 2019; OR
2) Which have never won four races.
So as long as a filly or mare has fewer than four career Wins, then she's eligible to run in this race. If a distaff runner has four career Wins or more, then none of those Wins could have come in the last three months (note that races where the runner was entered for $4k or less don't count). For the record Willtheresaway, Georgeouswitha G, Hey Roxy, and Lil Miss de Buy are the four runners in this field with fewer than four career Wins. And, as per usual at Remington Park, Oklahoma breds cost more; or, at least, they would if there were any running in this contest.
Willtheresaway seemed to wake up last time out with the drop in class. Georgeouswitha G has been in the Exacta in each of her last three dirt tack starts. Brenda's Fever is getting some much needed class relief here.
Lil Miss de Buy took the Place at this class level last time out. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in modified Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 1 with 4 with 5 with 3 $1.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 1,3,8 with 2,3,4,5 with 3,5 with 3,4,5,11 $48.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 2,4,5,6,7 with 4 with 5 with 3 $2.50
$0.50 P4: 1 with 6,7,8,9,10,11,12 with 5 with 3 $3.50
$0.50 P4: 1 with 4 with 1,2,4,7,9,10 with 3 $3.00
$0.50 P4: 1 with 4 with 5 with 1,2,6,7,8,9,10,12 $4.00
Total: $62.00
Post Time for Race 6 is 10:27 EDT / 7:27 PDT. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo

10/19/19 Remington Park Primetime Pick Four - Results
Race 6 - # 12 Heat Flash (Final Odds 4.20) - "C" Selection
Race 7 - # 2 Radiant Kitten (7.00) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - # 10 Lord Stratton (12.40) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 10 Miss Mercken (7.70) - "C" Selection
Not much good to say about a play where seventy-five percent of the winners weren't on the main ticket. Still, there is some satisfaction in seeing a $26.80 "B" Selection find his way into the Winner's Circle; so the night wasn't a total washout. But the bottom line is the bottom line; and it's probably best to just look at results like tonight's and say,
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Primetime Pick Four sequence of 12 / 2 / 10 / 10 were rewarded with a payout of $3,068.50 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,

10/19/19 Remington Park Primetime Pick Four - Preview
Friday night was Oklahoma Classics Night at Remington Park, and hopeful all of you got to watch and enjoy 2015 Oklahoma Derby winner Shotgun Kowboy win the Oklahoma Classics Cup for the fourth year in a row. Congrats to Shotgun Kowboy and Owner, Breeder, and Trainer C.R. Trout on an outstanding accomplishment. And with that news from Friday we move on to Saturday, as I take another run at The Primetime Pick Four at Remington Park.
RACE 6 - Clm $15k - Seven and a Half Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 3 Right Lane Lukasz (ML 9-2)
B’s
# 6 Molleck (ML 5-2)
C's
# 1 Lawless West (ML 20-1)
# 2 Smart Pioneer (ML 10-1)

# 7 Shweet Persuasion (ML 15-1)
# 8 Tenspeed (ML 4-1)
# 9 October Sky (ML 30-1)
# 10 Indy Pirate (ML 30-1)
# 11 Blue Twisted Steel (ML 30-1)
# 12 Heat Flash (ML 7-2)
As is typical for Claiming Races at Remington Park, the price for Oklahoma breds is higher than it is for the rest of the field. So if you're looking to purchase Smart Pioneer, City All Star, Mr. Nickels, and/or Tenspeed, you'll need to pony up an additional $2.5k above the $15k that the other runners are selling for.
Right Lane Lukasz and Molleck look best here, as both were recent winners against classier competition. I'm giving the edge to Right Lane Lukasz because I think Right Lane Lukasz' late running style fits well in this field filled with front runners. All other contestants will be used in my play as backup "C" Selections.
RACE 7 - MSW - Eight Furlongs Dirt

# 9 Gaspergou (ML 30-1)
Scratch # 1 Real of It (ML 4-1)
These are juveniles, but none are making their debut here. Code Runner, trained by Steve Asmussen, ships in after two starts in Kentucky. Code Runner showed good early foot in his debut; perhaps he'll flash that speed again tonight.
Slew Tang Clan took the Place at this class level last time out. Interesting to note that Slew Tang Clan and Code Runner were both sired by Honor Code. Mists of Time took the Show at this class level two starts back; and Mists of Time should improve with the return to the main track. The backup "C" Selections are the rest of the field.

# 8 Nations Hope (ML 9-2)
# 9 Street Ruler (ML 20-1)
Sensational Sam took the Show at this class level last time out while disappointing as the Post Time Favorite. Sensational Sam will be going first off the claim for Trainer Steve Asmussen, who tends to do well with such.
C H Jay took the Place at this class level last time out. Major Brown could move up with the drop in class and the return to the main track. Lord Stratton and Bernardian are two that could benefit from the cutback in distance. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.

10/12/19 Remington Park Primetime Pick Four - Preview
A nice mixture in Saturday's final four contests on the Oklahoma City card; and, that's about all I have by way of introduction. So with that let's just get to it, as I take another run at The Primetime Pick Four at Remington Park.
RACE 6 - ALW NC - Eight and a Half Furlongs Turf
A's
# 5 Keep Quiet (Fr) (Morning Line 1-1)
B's
# 1 Chris and Dave (ML 9-2)
C's
# 2 Pinson (ML 12-1)
# 3 Net Gain (ML 15-1)
# 4 Tiz Plus (ML 4-1)
# 6 One Son of a Chief (ML 30-1)
# 7 Blue Harbor (ML 6-1)
This is an Allowance Race with no conditions; so if you've got a horse and want to run it, you're free to do so here.
Keep Quiet (Fr) couldn't close the deal last time out in the $100k Remington Green on Oklahoma Derby Day a couple of weekends ago; but Keep Quiet looks must too good here to not use in the top slot. Still, that last outing does argue against making Keep Quiet a big ticket single; so for that reason I'll also be using Chris and Dave, who took the Show at this class level (albeit on the main track) last time out. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
RACE 7 - Clm $7.5k N2L - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 9 Euroeast (ML 9-2)
B’s
# 7 Calculating King (ML 9-2)
# 8 Malibu Mo (ML 5-2)
# 13 Hot Harvey (ML 20-1)
C's
# 1 Officer Sid (ML 5-1)
# 2 Callme Mr Mister (ML 30-1)
# 3 Crafty's Last (ML 20-1)
# 4 Coconut Ice (ML 12-1)
# 5 Ladie Go (ML 50-1)
# 6 Runforusrun (ML 12-1)
# 10 Curandero (ML 20-1)
# 11 Song and a G (ML 20-1)
# 12 Three Time Charmer (ML 10-1)
# 14 Chargin Texan (ML 15-1)
As is typical for Claiming Races at Remington Park, the price for Oklahoma breds is higher than it is for the rest of the field. So if you're looking to purchase Ladie Go or Euroeast, it'll cost you $10k, rather than $7.5k. However, Calculating King and Three Times Charmer are also Oklahoma breds; but their claiming price in the Past Performances (at least, in the PPs that I am using) is given as $7.5k. So I'm not sure what that's all about; my most likely guess being that there was just an error in the PPs. If anyone reading this should know the full story, please let us all know in the comments below.
Euroeast took the Place at this class level last time out. Calculating King and Malibu Mo both graduated (in separate contests) last time out, and both seem capable of making it two Wins in a row. Hot Harvey took the Show at this class level last time out, and Hot Harvey could improve off the freshening. The backup "C" Selections are the rest of the field.
RACE 8 - Clm $15k - Five Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 6 Channel Won (ML 9-5)
B’s
# 1 No Holds Barred (ML 7-2)
# 3 Hotfoot (ML 5-1)
C's
# 2 Tre Lee Divine (ML 15-1)
# 4 St. Louie Guy (ML 10-1)
# 5 Pop Culture (ML 6-1)
# 7 He's a Ranger (ML 20-1)
# 8 Major Munnings (ML 12-1)
# 9 Alpha and Omega (ML 12-1)
# 10 White Walls (ML 20-1)
As per usual, Oklahoma breds cost more; so if you want to claim Alpha and Omega, it'll cost you an extra $2.5k.
Channel Won should benefit from the class relief. No Holds Barred and Hotfoot filled out the bottom two slots of the Trifecta at this class level last time out. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
RACE 9 - (F) [S] Md $7.5k - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 2 She Stops Traffic (ML 6-1)
B's
# 6 Special Sky (ML 20-1)
# 8 Fine Cut Diamond (ML 15-1)
# 14 Adverse Possession (ML 8-1)
C's
# 1 Smokin Sheets (ML 6-1)
# 3 Clever Melody (ML 30-1)
# 5 Affirmatif Star (ML 12-1)
# 7 Mark Her Precious (ML 15-1)
# 9 Ambara (ML 20-1)
# 10 Without Compromise (ML 50-1)
# 11 Gospel Patricia (ML 50-1)
# 12 Stellar Bess (ML 20-1)
# 13 She's Earthbound (ML 3-1)
Scratch # 4 Fast Down the Lane (ML 8-5)
Needless to say, the scratch of the Morning Line Favorite in this contest has made this a wide open affair. It'll be interesting to see which way the wagering public chooses to go.
She Stops Traffic drops in for a tag for the first time in her career. Special Sky could move up with the drop in class. Fine Cut Diamond showed good earlier speed last time out in her first start of 2019.
Adverse Possession goes first off the claim for Trainer Stetson Mitchell, who tends to do well with such. Affirmatif Star and She's Earthbound are two that fit well here and should contend; but I feel that they've had more than enough chances to graduate at this class level; so I'll be using those two, as well as the rest of the field, as backup "C" Selections.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in modified Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 5 with 9 with 6 with 2 $1.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 1,5 with 7,8,9,13 with 1,3,6 with 2,6,8,14 $48.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 2,3,4,6,7 with 9 with 6 with 2 $2.50
$0.50 P4: 5 with 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12,14 with 6 with 2 $5.00
$0.50 P4: 5 with 9 with 2,4,5,7,8,9,10 with 2 $3.50
$0.50 P4: 5 with 9 with 6 with 1,3,5,7,9,10,11,12,13 $4.50
Total: $64.50
Post Time for Race 6 is 10:27 EDT / 7:27 PDT. Good luck to all.

10/5/19 Remington Park Primetime Pick Four - Preview
Fillies and Mares take center stage Saturday evening in Oklahoma City, as seventy-five percent of the final four contests on the program have been carded for distaff runners. So with that let's get to it, as I take another run at The Primetime Pick Four at Remington Park.
RACE 6 - (F) OC 10k/Alw 7500s - Eight and a Third Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 1 Heavens Whisper (Morning Line 4-5)
B’s
# 5 Don't Tell Lydia (ML 4-1)
C's
# 2 Teaspoon (ML 20-1)
# 4 Betty Jean (ML 15-1)
# 6 Desert Madam (ML 9-2)
# 7 Icy Dawn (ML 20-1)
# 8 Magic in Motion Gp (ML 8-1)
Scratch # 3 Racey Reecey (ML 20-1)
This is a hybrid Starter Allowance / Optional Claimer. The conditions allow any distaff runner that has started for a claiming price of $7.5k or less over the past twelve months to run without fear of being claimed. Any other distaff runner that enters will compete with the $10k price tag on her head. For the record, note that there are three here entered for the $10k claiming price: Teaspoon; Desert Madam; and Icy Dawn.
Heavens Whisper, who disappointed last time out as the Post Time Favorite, should benefit greatly from the drop in class. Don't Tell Lydia began her career by losing twelve straight starts. Don't Tell Lydia has since won five in a row; albeit for different connections than the ones sending her to the post today. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
RACE 7 - Clm $5k - Six and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 4 Long Station (ML 8-5)
B’s
# 1 Count N Gold (ML 15-1)
# 7 Class Won (ML 9-2)
C's
# 2 Snoose Sasa (ML 10-1)
# 3 R H Smoakem (ML 20-1)
# 5 Get the Bling (ML 30-1)
# 6 Renvyle (ML 20-1)
# 10 Judge Dixon (ML 10-1)
Scratch # 8 Jimbo's Biz (ML 12-1) and # 9 Lunar Light (ML 5-2)
Note that the claiming price is $6.25k for Oklahoma breds; or, at least, it would be if any Oklahoma breds had entered.
Long Station should benefit from the class relief that he is getting here. Count N Gold took the Show at this class level last time out while disappointing as the Post Time Favorite. Note that Count N Gold is also going first off the claim for Trainer Stetson Mitchell, who tends to do well with such.
Class Won drops down on the class ladder after disappointing last time out as the Post Time Favorite. The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.
RACE 8 - (F) [S] MSW - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 10 Polly Tiz (ML 4-5)
B's
# 4 Okie Logic (ML 12-1)
C's
# 1 Seeing Double (ML 30-1)
# 3 Heighten (ML 20-1)
# 5 Maria Elena Y. G (ML 5-1)
# 6 Special Treasure (ML 12-1)
# 7 Spirited Lady (ML 30-1)
# 8 Vantabulous (ML 20-1)
# 9 Zapit (ML 30-1)
# 12 Charming Diva (ML 8-1)
Scratch # 2 Do you Bileve (ML 8-1) and # 11 Check My Shades (ML 30-1)
Polly Tiz has taken the Place at the this class level in each of her last two starts. Okie Logic is a first time starter for Trainer Mike Biehler, who really doesn't win much with debut runners. But Okie Logic had a nice five furlong work over this track last Saturday, and Okie Logic is sired by 2013 Preakness winner Oxbow, and her mare won multiple times; so, maybe. The backup "C" Selections are the rest of the field.
RACE 9 - (F) Clm $15k N3L - Eight Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 10 Fancy Fox (ML 8-5)
B’s
# 1 Gone Awry (ML 12-1)
# 2 Beryl's Flight (ML 5-2)
# 4 Northern Dynasty (ML 8-1)
# 5 Sarala (ML 4-1)
C's
# 3 My Coyn (ML 20-1)
# 6 Goldie Again (ML 20-1)
# 7 Smashbox (ML 30-1)
Scratch # 8 Turn a Deaf Ear (ML 15-1) and # 9 Whiz City (ML 30-1)
Note that the claiming price for Oklahoma bred runners in this race is $20k. The Oklahoma bred entrants that you would have to pay an extra $5k to own are: My Coyn; Northern Dynasty; Sarala; and Smashbox.
Fancy Fox ships in for Trainer Bret Calhoun, and she's getting some serious class relief here. But Fancy Fox is routing for the first time here, as well as putting the blinkers on for the first time; so there is some room for caution here.
Gone Awry didn't show much in either of her two prior turf starts; but perhaps the added distance will make a difference. Beryl's Flight took the Place at this class level two starts back. Northern Dynasty seems to have the breeding to handle the move to the turf.
Sarala looked much improved last time out with the blinkers going back on. The backup "C" Selections are the rest of the field.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in modified Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 1 with 4 with 10 with 10 $1.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 1,5 with 1,4,7 with 4,10 with 1,2,4,5,10 $30.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 2,4,6,7,8 with 4 with 10 with 10 $2.50
$0.50 P4: 1 with 2,3,5,6,10 with 10 with 10 $2.50
$0.50 P4: 1 with 4 with 1,3,5,6,7,8,9,12 with 10 $4.00
$0.50 P4: 1 with 4 with 10 with 3,6,7 $1.50
Total: $41.50
Post Time for Race 6 is 10:27 EDT / 7:27 PDT. Good luck to all.
