10/10/20 Remington Park Primetime Pick Four - Preview

"We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

With the Triple Crown for 2020 now officially ended, and with the Breeders' Cup four weeks away, we return to Saturday Night racing in Oklahoma City.  And as I have nothing else to add to this introduction let's just get to it, as I take another run at The Primetime Pick Four at Remington Park.

RACE 6 - (F) Clm $15k - Eight Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 4 Gioblast (Morning Line 8-1)

B’s

# 8 Blushing Kitten (ML 6-1)

# 10 North of Eden (ML 6-1)

C's

# 1 Herbs Love (ML 3-1)

# 2 Dixie Mo (ML 4-1)

# 3 M and M Girl (ML 5-1)

# 5 Sexy Dance (ML 15-1)

# 6 Lila's Lucky Lady (ML 20-1)

# 7 Frozen Hannah (ML 8-1)

# 9 Yankee Pride (ML 20-1)

For the record, the claiming price for any Oklahoma bred runners in this field would be $17.5k, if any existed.

Gioblast could move up with the drop in class.  North of Eden and Blushing Kitten filled out the Exacta at this class level last time out.  The backup "C" Selections are everyone else.

RACE 7 - Clm $25k N3L - Five and a Half Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 8 Sermon by the Sea (ML 10-1)

B’s

# 3 Something Super (ML 8-1)

# 4 D Two (ML 6-1)

C's

# 2 Runaway Wind (ML 5-1)

# 5 Pure Speculation (ML 4-1)

# 6 Speaker Van (ML 15-1)
# 7 Texas Warrior (ML 12-1)
# 9 Young Phillip (ML 3-1)

# 10 Royal Bertrando (ML 8-1)

Scratch # 1 Mr Misleading (ML 20-1)

Oklahoma breds will cost you an extra five grand to claim in this contest; and, with the scratch of Mr Misleading, Speaker Van will enter the gate as the sole Oklahoma bred in the field.

Sermon by the Sea should benefit from the class relief as well as the surface switch.  Something Super ran well enough last time out that he should be able to handle to class rise.

D Two has shown that he can contend at this class level.  The backup "C" Selections are the rest of the field.

RACE 8 - (F) ALW N1X - Eight Furlongs Dirt

A's

# 7 Amazing Ride (ML 2-1)

B's

# 2 Break At Dawn (ML 10-1)

# 8 Goodnightloving (ML 6-1)

C's

# 1 Fancified (ML 5-1)
# 3 My City Girl (ML 8-1)

# 4 Texas Rain (ML 4-1)
# 5 Southern Cents (ML 15-1)

# 6 Okie Footnote (ML 10-1)

Amazing Ride graduated by as many as he wanted last time out, and Trainer Steve Asmussen tends to do well when placing his last out maiden winners.  Break At Dawn and Goodnightloving have both run well at today's distance.  The backup "C" Selections are the rest of the field.

RACE 9 - Clm $5k - Seven Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 12 Senor Blair (ML 8-1)

B’s

# 3 Pop Life (ML 4-1)

# 9 Shooters Alley (ML 12-1)

# 13 Strong Side (ML 15-1)

# 14 Swiss Minister (ML 5-1)

C's

# 1 Nym (Mex) (ML 7-2)

# 2 T C's Image (ML 10-1)

# 4 Towering Oak (ML 30-1)
# 5 Molleck (ML 8-1)
# 6 Plumbago (ML 15-1)
# 7 Hesabully (ML 20-1)

# 8 Annie's Candy (ML 30-1)

# 10 Kats Second Silver (ML 20-1)

# 11 Rolls Royce Deal (ML 30-1)

The claiming price for Oklahoma breds in this contest is $6.25k; which is just a historic footnote, as all these runners were bred somewhere other than Oklahoma.

Senor Blair fits well here on class, and should be able to handle the distance.  Pop Life took the Show at this class level last time out, and Pop Life could benefit from the cutback in distance.  Shooters Alley has shown improvement in each of his last three races, all at today's distance.

Strong Side should benefit from the return to the main track.  Swiss Minister goes first off the claim for Trainer Steve Asmussen, who tends to do well with such.  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: 4 with 8 with 7 with 12 $1.00

All A Entries with All B Entries

$0.50 P4: 4,8,10 with 3,4,8 with 2,7,8 with 3,9,12,13,14 $67.50

A's with One C

$0.50 P4: 1,2,3,5,6,7,9 with 8 with 7 with 12 $3.50

$0.50 P4: 4 with 2,5,6,7,9,10 with 7 with 12 $3.00

$0.50 P4: 4 with 8 with 1,3,4,5,6 with 12 $2.50

$0.50 P4: 4 with 8 with 7 with 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,10,11 $4.50

Total: $82.00

Post Time for Race 6 is 10:27 EDT / 7:27 PDT.  Good luck to all.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
