"If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day Weekend." - Doug Larson
And so we make it to the holiday. Hopefully this weekend has been everything that you had hoped that it would be, and that all of your plans for today come to fruition. For me, those plans involving cashing on today's action at Golden Gate; so let's get to it, as I take another run at The Late Pick Four at The Bay's Best Bet.
RACE 6 - (F) Alw 4000s - Five Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 5 Bellanza (Morning Line 1-1)
B’s
# 2 Candy Pink (ML 5-1)
C's
# 4 Shez a Griller (ML 3-1)
# 6 Panshir (ML 9-2)
Note for future reference that this event has no lifetime Win restrictions for entry. So any filly or mare that has started for a claiming price of $4k or less, either this year or last, is eligible to run here.
Bellanza took the Show against classier stock last time out. Candy Pink tries some California grass for the first time Monday; and while Candy Pink's turf pedigree isn't especially strong, that's less important in sprints such as this, where speed is the determinant factor.
Shez a Griller took the Place at this class level last time out. Panshir could be the one running best late.
RACE 7 - Clm $8k - Eight Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 4 Eddie and the King (ML 2-1)
B’s
# 6 Sizzlin' Joe (ML 9-5)
C's
# 5 Giant Mark (ML 7-2)
Eddie and the King has finished in the Trifecta against more expensive stock in each of his last two races, albeit on real dirt. Sizzlin' Joe goes first off the claim for Trainer John Martin, who tends to do well with such. Giant Mark could improve with the surface switch.
RACE 8 - ALW N1X - Eight Furlongs Turf
A's
# 3 Junior G Man (ML 3-1)
# 6 Lucky Bode (ML 2-1)
B's
# 1 Cackle the Cuda (ML 4-1)
# 2 Dixie Pistol (ML 7-2)
C's
None
Scratch # 7 Southern Loyalty (ML 8-1)
Junior G Man took the Show at this class level last time out, albeit on the dirt at Sacramento. Lucky Bode took the Show in the $50k Robert Dupret Derby last time out. Cackle the Cuda has finished in the Trifecta eight of the nine times that he has competed over this turf course. Dixie Pistol could be the one running best late.
RACE 9 - Clm $16k - Six Furlongs Synthetic
A’s
# 4 He's a Tiger (ML 7-2)
B’s
# 1 Grand Palais (ML 8-5)
# 2 Van Lingle Mungo (ML 3-1)
C's
None
He's a Tiger missed victory by just a head last time out at this class level, albeit on real dirt. Grant Palais took the Place against more expensive stock up at Emerald Downs two and three starts back. Van Lingle Mungo could move up with the surface switch.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 5 with 4 with 3,6 with 4 $2.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 2,5 with 4,6 with 1,2,3,6 with 1,2,4 $24.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 4,6 with 4 with 3,6 with 4 $2.00
$0.50 P4: 5 with 5 with 3,6 with 4 $1.00
Total: $29.00
Post Time for Race 6 is 7:22 EDT / 4:22 PDT. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
