So we reach the final weekend of the Summer, and with it the final weekend of the Golden Gate mini-meet. With the mandatory payout for the Jackpot pool Sunday, it made sense for me to get one in over the track prior to that, so Saturday's play will be a dive into The Pick Six pool. So with that let's get to it, as I take another run at The Golden Pick Six at The Bay's Best Bet.
RACE 4 - Alw 4000s - Five Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 2 Synnin (Morning Line 1-1)
B’s
None
C's
# 4 Ted Oliver (ML 3-1)
# 7 Nevadan (ML 12-1)
# 8 Good Stuff (ML 5-1)
Scratch # 1 Jury (ML 15-1)
Note for future reference that this event has no lifetime Win restrictions for entry. So any runner that has started for a claiming price of $4k or less, either this year or last, is eligible to run here.
Synnin has won at this class level in each of his last two starts, and neither contest was particularly close. Ted Oliver took the Place behind Synnin last time out. Nevadan and Good Stuff look to be the early speed here; perhaps one of them can hit the wire before Synnin gets into top gear.
RACE 5 - Alw 8000s - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 3 Cackle the Cuda (ML 5-2)
B’s
# 2 Aventador (Fr) (ML 8-5)
# 6 My Friend George (ML 5-1)
C's
# 1 Monsajem Accrete (ML 9-2)
Note for future reference that this event, like Race 4 above, has no lifetime Win restrictions for entry. So any runner that has started for a claiming price of $8k or less, either this year or last, is eligible to run here.
Cackle the Cuda defeated classier company over the main dirt track at Santa Rosa two starts back. Aventador (Fr), shipping in from Turf Paradise, has had prior success over this main track. My Friend George took the Show against more expensive stock last time out at Santa Rosa. Monsajem Accrete enters Saturday's event with a three race winning streak, albeit against lesser company.
RACE 6 - Clm $12.5k N2L - Eight Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 5 Crystal Dome (GB) (ML 7-2)
# 8 Smoked too Many (ML 5-1)
B’s
# 2 Not Chopped Liver (ML 8-1)
# 6 Wildcat Blues (ML 9-2)
C's
# 1 Candy's Martini (ML 3-1)
Crystal Dome (GB) gets some class relief for this, his second North American start. Crystal Dome will also be donning the blinkers for the first time Saturday; runners for Trainer Dan Blacker tend to improve when he makes this move.
Smoked too Many took the Place at this class level last time out, and could be the quickest in this field. Not Chopped Liver and Wildcat Blues are a pair trying the turf for the first time, whose respective trainers (Steve Sherman and John Martin) tend to do well when moving their runners to the lawn. Candy's Martini could move up with the class drop; though Candy's Martini may be better suited to shorter distances.
RACE 7 - (F) Alw 40000s N2L - Five and a Half Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 3 No Spin Zone (ML 5-2)
# 8 Quick Song (ML 4-1)
B’s
None
C's
# 1 Lovley Spy (ML 10-1)
# 6 Tiz Deliteful (ML 9-2)
# 9 C J's Dream (ML 6-1)
Note for future reference that this one is for horses which have not won two races in their career; but with one exemption, as runners get a pass by having one (and just one) win not considered, if one of their two career wins was for $16k or less. For the record, # 3 No Spin Zone (ML 5-2), # 6 Tiz Deliteful (ML 9-2), and # 8 Quick Song (ML 4-1) are the three runners in this field to have visited the winner's circle multiple times.
No Spin Zone has finished in the Exacta at this class level in each of her last three starts. Quick Song was less than a length away from No Spin Zone at the wire last time out. Lovley Spy took the Show at this class level over the Santa Rosa main track last time out.
Tiz Deliteful lost all chance at the start last time out. C J's Dream closed well to graduate last time out; perhaps C J's Dream has finally figured it out.
RACE 8 - (F) ALW N1X - Five Furlongs Turf
A's
# 5 Papaclem'smidnight (ML 3-1)
B's
# 11 Bellanza (ML 6-1)
C's
# 6 Rebarules Again (ML 9-2)
# 9 Matter of Luck (ML 5-2)
# 10 Propeppy (ML 6-1)
Scratch # 1 Classy Lady (ML 20-1); bring in # 11 Bellanza (ML 6-1) off the Also Eligible List to replace her; but not # 12 Secret Thorn (ML 3-1), who gets the afternoon off.
Papaclem'smidnight won by daylight at this class level last time out. Bellanza could be the speed of the speed in this field. Rebarules Again took the Place behind Papaclem'smidnight last time out.
Matter of Luck took the Place in front of Papaclem'smidnight back in May. Propeppy has taken the Show at this class level in each of her last two starts.
RACE 9 - MSW - Six Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 2 Rule Number Eight (ML 4-1)
B's
# 4 Awhitesportscoat (ML 6-1)
# 7 Call the Boss (ML 9-2)
# 11 Uncle Hal (ML 15-1)
C's
# 8 Into Kings (ML 6-1)
# 9 Yerevan Song (ML 10-1)
Scratch # 13 Awesome Heights (ML 6-1) and # 14 Lil Awecim (ML 10-1), neither of whom draw in off the Also Eligible List.
Rule Number Eight missed graduation at this class level by just a head the last time that he competed over this main track. Awhitesportscoat could move up with the turn back in distance. Call the Boss took the Place at this class level two starts back.
Uncle Hal may have needed that last one, coming as it did after an eight month layoff. Into Kings may be quick enough to retain his form with the class jump. Yerevan Song could be the one running best late.
OK, that's the analysis. While this is a jackpot wager, I won't be putting all my selections on one ticket. While I still hold out hope that this could be the luckiest day of my life, budgetary constraints must be respected. I think it's also safe to presume that my "A" Selections won't form the basis of a unique ticket, so I should be safe in pressing those up. So with all that, playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P6: 2 with 3 with 5,8 with 3,8 with 5 with 2 $4.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.20 P6: 2 with 2,3,6 with 2,5,6,8 with 3,8 with 5,11 with 2,4,7,11 $38.40
A's with One C
$0.20 P6: 4,7,8 with 3 with 5,8 with 3,8 with 5 with 2 $2.40
$0.20 P6: 2 with 1 with 5,8 with 3,8 with 5 with 2 $0.80
$0.20 P6: 2 with 3 with 1 with 3,8 with 5 with 2 $0.40
$0.20 P6: 2 with 3 with 5,8 with 1,6,9 with 5 with 2 $1.20
$0.20 P6: 2 with 3 with 5,8 with 3,8 with 6,9,10 with 2 $2.40
$0.20 P6: 2 with 3 with 5,8 with 3,8 with 5 with 8,9 $1.60
Total: $51.20
Post Time for Race 4 is 6:15 EDT / 3:15 PDT. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
