For those who may have not yet heard, I have the sad news to report that multiple cases of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) have been diagnosed among the horse population at Remington Park; one of whom unfortunately succumbing to the disease. Because of that, the track is effectively on lock down, with no runners being shipped in or out. This is especially heartbreaking news for those who were scheduled to compete in the Land of Enchantment card this coming Wednesday at Zia Park.
Also affected by the outbreak is Saturday's card in Oklahoma City; for example, three entrants in the nightcap who are stabled outside of the track will not be running tonight, and have been scratched. Because of the depleted fields, honesty compels me to confess that there may not be much to see here; but this is horse racing, and there's no telling what may happen until the "OFFICIAL" sign lights up. So with that let's get to it, as I take another run at The Primetime Pick Four at Remington Park.
RACE 6 - Clm $7.5k N3L - Eight Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Bazooka (Morning Line 2-1)
B’s
# 2 Bernardian (ML 5-1)
C's
# 1 Nations Hope (ML 9-2)
# 3 Sensational Sam (ML 3-1)
# 4 John Allen (ML 15-1)
# 5 Spring for Gold (ML 10-1)
# 7 Air Force Cadet (ML 6-1)
If you want to claim an Oklahoma bred from this contest, it'll cost you an extra $2.5k; or, rather, it would if there were any Oklahoma breds running.
Bazooka moves up to non-Winners of Three Lifetime company after obtaining his second career victory last time out by coming from off the pace. Bernardian took the Show at this class level last time out, and could be quickest here. The backup "C" Selections are the rest of the field.
RACE 7 - Clm $20k - Five and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Eurobond (ML 7-5)
B’s
None
C's
# 1 Googleado (Arg) (ML 15-1)
# 3 Mallory's Bandit (ML 20-1)
# 5 Texas Long Bow (ML 10-1)
# 7 Louden's Gray (ML 10-1)
Scratch # 2 Drc All Inclusive (ML 9-5) and # 4 Euramaster (ML 6-1)
As per usual, Oklahoma breds cost more; so if you want to claim Eurobond, it'll cost you an extra $5k.
With the scratch of Drc All Inclusive, Eurobond, winner of his last three, looks much the best here. For those who prefer not to single in this leg, or who just want to go in a different direction, Louden's Gray could move up with the cutback in distance; though ultimately I decided to go just one deep here, thereby slotting Louden's Gray as a backup "C" Selection, along with the rest of the field.
RACE 8 - (F) [S] Clm $25k N2L - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 2 Bright Bling (ML 1-1)
B's
None
C's
# 3 Natalie's Toccet (ML 15-1)
# 5 Sherry Babe (ML 20-1)
# 6 Sooner Surprise (ML 20-1)
# 7 Baudette (ML 6-1)
Scratch # 1 Mighty Heidi (ML 2-1) and # 4 Flashy Bisonette (ML 10-1)
Bright Bling took the Place against open (non-state bred restricted) $25k N2L company last time out. A concern with Bright Bling is that she may settle for too many minor awards; but Bright Bling just looks too much the best here to justify doubling the cost of the ticket by adding another runner. So Bright Bling will be a big ticket single in my play, with all others being used as backup "C" Selections.
RACE 9 - (F) ALW N1X - Six Furlongs Dirt
A's
# 2 I'mabarnkat (ML 6-5)
B's
# 1 Hana Highway (ML 8-1)
# 3 Lunera (ML 20-1)
# 4 C P Quality (ML 5-2)
# 7 Valokie (ML 4-1)
C's
None
Scratch # 5 Another Rocket (ML 20-1); # 6 Fabulous Girl (ML 12-1); and # 8 Gorgeouswitha G (ML 20-1)
I'mabarnkat, C P Quality, and Valokie filled out the bottom three rungs of the Superfecta at this class level last time out. Hana Highway could be speed on the rail; and Hana Highway should appreciate the class relief. Lundera showed signs of waking up last time out, and could improve going third off the layoff. And that's everyone, so it looks like I'm going "ALL" in this leg.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in modified Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 6 with 6 with 2 with 2 $1.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 2,6 with 6 with 2 with ALL $5.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 1,3,4,5,7 with 6 with 2 with 2 $2.50
$0.50 P4: 6 with 1,3,5,7 with 2 with 2 $2.00
$0.50 P4: 6 with 6 with 3,5,6,7 with 2 $2.00
Total: $12.50
Post Time for Race 6 is 10:27 EST / 7:27 PST. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
