Non-Winners of One are featured on Sunday's card on the California Fairgrounds circuit, as half of the final half-dozen contests were carded for maidens. I'll be looking at those races below, as I take another run at The Gold Rush Pick Six at The Big Fresno Fair.
RACE 3 - Md $16k - Five and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 2 Easy Game (Morning Line 2-1)
# 3 Sunday Nap (ML 9-5)
B's
# 1 Hedoesitinstyle (ML 3-1)
# 5 Inforcing Order (ML 8-1)
# 6 Particle of Energy (ML 8-1)
C's
None
Scratch # 4 Joshuas Glory (ML 12-1)
While carded for open company, note for future reference that all runners in this field are, in fact, California bred. Also note that none of these runners finished in the Trifecta in their respective most recent race; which, as I mentioned yesterday, serves as a pretty good sign that this could be a chaos race. Finally, it's worth pointing out that all four experienced runners are shipping in from downstate.
Easy Game is running with a price tag on his head for the first time in his career. Sunday Nap has thrice taken the Show against more expensive stock. The "B" Selections are everyone else in the field, including the two first time starters, Inforcing Orders and Particle of Energy.
RACE 4 - Clm $5k N2X - Five and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Bullseye (ML 3-1)
B’s
# 3 Whatahandsomecat (ML 7-2)
# 5 On Fire (ML 2-1)
C's
# 4 Cuatro Cinco (ML 6-1)
Bullseye took the Place in front of a next out winner at Ferndale last time out. Whatahandsomecat took the Place against open (no conditions) claimers last time out, albeit on the synthetic track at Golden Gate. On Fire fits well here on class, though On Fire may be settling for too many minor awards. Cuatro Cinco drops in class, turns back in distance, and switches surfaces; perhaps one (or more) of those changes will allow Cuatro Cinco to get his picture taken today.
RACE 5 - (F) Md $8k - Eight Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 3 Gift Giver Linda (ML 2-1)
B's
None
C's
# 1 Riverka (ML 6-1)
# 2 Frankie (ML 7-2)
# 4 Kolocha (ML 9-2)
# 5 Tiz Seeking a Win (ML 3-1)
# 6 Mexicat (ML 8-1)
Gift Giver Linda ships in from downstate and runs for the cheapest tag of her career. Riverka ships in from downstate, and could move up with the class drop. Frankie is on the ticket because everyone else is.
Kolocha took the Show at this class level two starts back, albeit on the synthetic. Tiz Seeking a Win took the Show at this class level last time out while disappointing as the Post Time Favorite. Mexicat took the Place at this class time out.
RACE 6 - Md $8k - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Melvinized (ML 3-1)
B's
# 1 El Nino Fable (ML 5-2)
# 7 Cheap O Charlie (ML 7-2)
C's
# 2 Let's Havanuther (ML 6-1)
# 3 Ron Again (ML 5-1)
Note that, like Race 3 above, this contest was carded for open company, but drew only California bred runners. Melvinized goes for the first time for Trainer Rene Amescua, who tends to do well with such. El Nino Fable ships in from downstate, and could move up with the class drop and cutback in real estate.
Cheap O Charlie took the Show behind Melvinized against more expensive last time out, albeit on the grass. Let's Havanuther and Ron Again could be the quickest here, in a field without much early speed.
RACE 7 - OC $62.5k/N2X - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 5 Distinctive B (ML 9-5)
B’s
None
C's
# 6 Bronze Star (ML 9-2)
Distinctive B ships in from downstate for Trainer Peter Miller after taking the Place at this class level in each of his last three starts. Bronze Star was a listed stakes winner the last time he competed over a Fast dirt track.
RACE 8 - (F) Clm $5k N2X - Five and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 3 Peppered Gold (ML 7-2)
B’s
# 2 Hot Gem (ML 4-1)
# 8 Who Said Lucky (ML 9-2)
C's
# 1 Panshir (ML 3-1)
# 7 Unwanted (ML 5-1)
Peppered Gold was victorious at this comparable class level last time out, and took the Show at this class level two starts back. Hot Gem goes first off the claim for Trainer John Martin, who tends to do well with such. Who Said Lucky could move up with the drop in class.
Panshir could be the one running best late, though traffic could be a problem with the rail draw. Unwanted took the Place at this class level last time out, while disappointing as the Post Time Favorite.
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 also think it's 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: 2,3 with 6 with 3 with 6 with 5 with 3 $2.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.20 P6: ALL with 3,5,6 with 3 with 1,6,7 with 5 with 2,3,8 $27.00
A's with One C
$0.20 P6: 2,3 with 4 with 3 with 6 with 5 with 3 $0.40
$0.20 P6: 2,3 with 6 with 1,2,4,5,6 with 6 with 5 with 3 $2.00
$0.20 P6: 2,3 with 6 with 3 with 2,3 with 5 with 3 $0.80
$0.20 P6: 2,3 with 6 with 3 with 6 with 6 with 3 $0.40
$0.20 P6: 2,3 with 6 with 3 with 6 with 5 with 1,7 $0.80
Total: $33.40
Post Time for Race 3 is 4:51 EDT / 1:51 PDT. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
