Preview: Wings (9-10) at Dream (9-9)

Date: July 08, 2016 7:30 PM EDT

The Atlanta Dream are looking to return to the form that had them atop the Eastern Conference for much of the early part of the season, when the Dallas Wings visit Philips Arena on Friday.

The Dream used a fourth-quarter surge to beat the Seattle Storm on Tuesday and snap a season-long six-game losing streak that sent Atlanta tumbling down the standings.

Atlanta outscored the Storm 25-10 in the fourth to close out the Storm. Forward Sancho Lyttle had 22 points and 11 rebounds in the Dream's first win since June 17.

"It's about us establishing our game all over again," Atlanta coach Michael Cooper said after Tuesday's win. "We kind of went back to the drawing board a bit. These ladies are professionals. They have a love for playing for the Atlanta Dream, they love this city, they love our owners. I just challenged them and tested them on that and said 'you're here to play for something'. And I think we did a good job coming out and playing for the city."

The Wings (9-10) are coming off a 77-74 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday. Dallas is the second highest-scoring teams in the league and plays an up-tempo brand of basketball. But the Wings have struggled on the defensive end of the floor, surrendering 86.8 points per game.

Guard Odyssey Sims leads five Dallas players averaging double figures at 15.3 points per game. Forward Glory Johnson had 23 points and 22 rebounds in the win over Phoenix and will need to have another big game inside to combat Atlanta's frontcourt of Elizabeth Williams and Lyttle.

Williams and Lyttle combined for 23 points and 15 rebounds in Atlanta's 102-93 road win over Dallas on May 27. Dream leading scorer Angel McCoutry had 26 points in the win over the Wings. Atlanta shot 52.5 percent from the floor.

The Dream won four of the last five meetings between the two franchises.

The Wings are in their first season in Texas. The franchise relocated to Dallas from Tulsa this season.

Preview: Liberty (13-6) at Sky (7-10)

Date: July 08, 2016 8:30 PM EDT

The two most prolific scorers in the WNBA collide Friday night, when reigning MVP Elena Delle Donne and the Chicago Sky host Tina Charles and the first-place New York Liberty at Allstate Arena.

Charles leads the league in scoring at 22.8 points and is second in rebounding at 9.6 per game. She was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for June. It's the second straight month Charles has won the honor, and third time in last four months.

Delle Donne is second in the WNBA in scoring, behind Charles, averaging 21.4 points per game. Delle Donne is coming off a season-high 38-point performance in a loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday. She scored 25 points in the first half and hit 10 consecutive shots during one stretch of the game.

The Sky lost six of eight overall, including an 80-79 loss to the Liberty on June 24. Delle Donne had 31 points in the loss. Charles had 21 points for New York in the win.

Neither team's star is receiving a lot of help from their supporting cast. Veteran guard Cappie Pondexter (12.5 points per game) is the only other Sky player averaging double figures in points, alongside Delle Donne. New York's Sugar Rodgers is the only other Liberty player averaging double figures (16.1 points per game), alongside Charles.

The Liberty (13-6) have won three of four and are coming off a 78-74 win over the Seattle Storm on Wednesday. They have won nine of 11 overall to climb into first-place in the Eastern Conference, 3.5 games ahead of second place Atlanta.

The win over the Seattle was New York coach Bill Laimbeer's 199th career win. He's looking to become the sixth WNBA coach to reach 200 wins for his career.

New York boasts the third best record in the WNBA, behind only the Los Angeles Sparks and defending-champion Minnesota. The top eight teams regardless of conference will make the playoffs this season.

The Liberty have won four of the past five meetings with the Sky.

Preview: Storm (6-12) at Stars (5-13)

Date: July 08, 2016 9:00 PM EDT

The San Antonio Stars are focused on accentuating the positive despite languishing at the bottom of the WNBA pack for most of the season.

That positivity was put to the test on Wednesday when the Stars beat the Washington Mystics 77-70 in San Antonio's first game without star guard Kayla McBride, who was lost for the rest of the campaign to a fractured right foot.

Now the Stars will turn their attention toward building a winning streak. San Antonio hosts the Seattle Storm, a team that they've already defeated this year, on Friday.

The Stars (5-13) have not won consecutive games this season but have captured three of their past five outings.

Instead of wallowing in the loss of McBride, San Antonio used season-high scoring performances from Monique Currie (20 points) and Dearica Hamby (18 points) to surprise the Mystics (9-10).

"Everybody just stepped in up tonight and contributed," Currie said. "We are all capable players and it showed. Losing Kayla gives other people an opportunity. This is a huge confidence booster for us. We might not have won a game like this earlier in the season, but we've grown as a team."

Seattle (6-12) heads to San Antonio for the final game of a three-road trip and after a 78-74 loss at New York on Wednesday. The Storm has dropped their past three contests and is just a game ahead of San Antonio in the Western Conference standings.

Rookie forward Breanna Stewart led Seattle against New York with 24 points and 16 rebounds, recording her second-straight double-double and the seventh in her career. It is the eighth game she has recorded double-digit rebounds in her career.

Seattle shot just 5-of-19 and scored only 11 points in the first quarter, the team's lowest scoring output in the opening period this season.

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

Preview: Fever (7-11) at Mercury (8-11)

Date: July 08, 2016 10:00 PM EDT

The Phoenix Mercury haven't had a boring July.

Star players Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner were ejected for arguing with the officials in the third quarter during a loss to New York on July 1.

Griner then posted the sixth triple-double in WNBA history two nights later in a win at Atlanta, going for 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks.

And, in Tuesday's loss to Dallas, the Mercury allowed Wings forward Glory Johnson to put up the league's only 20-20 game this season -- 23 points, 22 rebounds.

What's going to happen next?

On Friday night, Phoenix (8-11) plays host to Indiana (7-11), which is coming off an interesting game of its own.

The Fever, down 20 points with 6:22 to go at league-leading Los Angeles, rallied within a point with 12.2 seconds left before losing 94-88.

Indiana won the first meeting of the season against the Mercury, 97-93 at home on May 18. Emblematic of Phoenix's slow start and defensive woes, the Fever placed seven players in double-figure scoring.

The Mercury have rebounded somewhat to more resemble the powerhouse team it was expected to be, going 6-5 after a 2-6 start. Some roster reconstruction has included the addition of backup center Kelsey Bone via trade and the signing of backup point guard Lindsey Harding, who is averaging 2.8 assists and 5.2 points in 20.5 minutes per game.

"I thought she would be a great fit for us," said Phoenix coach Sandy Brondello. "She creates the speed that we need. We needed to get a bit more athletic."

Taurasi leads Phoenix with an average of 19.2 points per game while forward DeWanna Bonner is averaging 14.9 points. Griner averages 14.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. Guard Penny Taylor (13.3 ppg) has missed the past four games because of a hip contusion.

Phoenix leads the WNBA in scoring at 87.7 points per game but allows a league-high 88.0.

Indiana has a trio of double-digit scorers -- forward Tamika Catchings (13.7), guard Tiffany Mitchell (11.7) and guard Briann January (10.1).

Phoenix is 7-2 against Eastern Conference opponents.

CFL Betting Recap - Week 2
By Joe Williams

League Betting Notes

-- Favorites/underdogs went 2-2 SU in Week 2
-- Favorites/underdogs went 2-2 ATS in Week 2
-- Road teams posted a 3-1 SU record in Week 2
-- Road teams posted a 3-1 ATS record in Week 2
-- The 'Under' went 3-1 in Week 2

Team Betting Notes

-- Ottawa (2-0) have opened with two impressive road victories. Last week they won a Grey Cup rematch on the road, this week it was a 28-13 dismantling of Montreal (1-1). The RedBlacks are 2-0 SU/ATS, cashing as a one-point favorite in Montreal. Ottawa has won four straight in this series, and they have covered five in a row against the Alouettes dating back to Sept. 26, 2014.

-- The Alouettes are 0-4 SU/ATS in their past four home games dating back to a win and cover against the Blue Bombers Sept. 20, 2015. They'll try to rectify that when Hamilton (1-1) pays a visit Friday.

-- The Tiger-Cats were humbled at home by a 28-3 count, as the BC Lions (2-0) have fired out of the chute. Hamilton is 1-4 SU/ATS over their past five regular season home outings.

-- The Lions are averaging 24.0 points per game on ofense, and allowing just 10.5 points per game allowed on defense. The 'under' has hit in each of their two games, and they have won straight up and covered despite being underdogs in both.

-- Canada Day was very enjoyable if you are a fan of Calgary (1-1) or a side bettors for the Stamps. They rebounded after their road loss in Week 1 to pound Winnipeg (0-2) by a 36-22 count. The game was actually a bit closer than the final score might indicate, too, as the Bombers outscored the Stamps 15-0 in the final quarter.

-- Saskatchewan (0-1) was tripped up at home by Toronto (1-1), as the Roughriders fell 30-17. Saskatchwan is 0-3 SU/1-2 ATS against the Argos dating back to July 26, 2014. Keep that in mind for later in the season when the sides meet again in Toronto Oct. 15.

CFL Betting Notes - Week 3
By David Schwab

The Ottawa RedBlacks kicked off Week 2 in the CFL with another impressive victory by hammering Montreal 28-13 in a game that closed as a PICK. In Thursday’s other action, Toronto evened its record at 1-1 with a solid 30-17 thrashing of Saskatchewan as a 3 ½-point road underdog.

On Friday night, British Columbia moved to 2-0 with an impressive 28-3 victory against Hamilton as a 5 ½-point road underdog. Later that night Calgary evened its mark on the year to 1-1 by beating Winnipeg 36-22 to cover as a heavy 11-point favorite at home. Here is a look at Week 3 in the CFL:

Thursday, July 7

Winnipeg Blue Bombers (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS) vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Hamilton -10
Total: 52

Game Overview

Unfortunately for Blue Bombers’ fans their team is picking things up where they left off last season after losing six of their last seven games in 2015 straight-up. It did not help that slotback Weston Dressler was out of the lineup for last week’s game against Calgary and he remains questionable for Thursday with a head injury. Drew Willy added some garbage numbers in the fourth quarter when things were out of reach to end the game with 358 yards passing and a pair of touchdowns while going 32-for-43.

After rolling over Toronto on the road in their season opener as five-point underdogs, the Tiger-Cats came out flat in last week’s home opener. Jeramiah Masoli made everyone forget about the injured Zach Collaros on opening day, but he was ineffective against BC. He managed to throw for 248 yards while completing 66.6 percent of his 39 attempts, but he could not get his team in the end zone and he was picked-off twice. Hamilton could get nothing going on the ground with a total of 49 yards rushing.

Betting Trends

Hamilton has won eight of the last nine meetings straight-up and it is 6-1 against the spread in the last seven games between the two. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of the last 10 meetings.


Toronto Argonauts (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) vs. British Columbia Lions (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS)
Point-spread: BC -4 ½
Total: 49

Game Overview

Toronto bounced back in a big way in Week 2 after losing its first regular season game at its new digs at BMO Field. The Argonauts will stay on the road this week and it heads into BC with a 2-6 record against the spread in its last eight games against a team with a SU winning record. Ricky Ray got hot right out of the gate last week against Saskatchewan with two scoring drives in Toronto’s first two possessions that included a pair of touchdown throws to Andre Durie and Vidal Hazelton.

The Lions evened their mark on the year behind a stifling defense and solid play by Jonathan Jennings at the quarterback position. He threw for 228 yards and one touchdown while completing 16-of-27 attempts. Emmanuel Arceneaux was his top target with six catches for 46 yards and a score. Jeramiah Johnson anchored BC’s running game with 76 yards rushing on 12 carries. The Lions come into this week’s interdivision matchup with a 6-2-1 record ATS in their last nine games in Week 3.

Betting Trends

The road team in this matchup has won the last four games both SU and ATS. The total has gone OVER in three of the last five meetings.


Friday, July 8

Calgary Stampeders (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) vs. Ottawa RedBlacks (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS)
Point-spread: PICK
Total: 53

Game Overview

Calgary was stunned by BC as a slight road favorite in Week 1, but it quickly got things turned around against Winnipeg in Week 2. Bo Levi returned to form at quarterback with 309 yards passing and two touchdown throws while connecting on 24 of his 37 attempts. Jerome Messam tore things up on the ground with 137 yards rushing on 16 carries. The Stampeders scored 30 unanswered points in that game after trailing 7-3 midway in the second quarter.

No Henry Burris; no problem for the RedBlacks with Trevor Harris at the helm. Making his first start in place of Ottawa’s injured signal caller, Harris had a field day against Montreal with 395 yards passing and three touchdown throws. He connected on 20-of-26 attempts to average a solid 19.8 yards per completion. He currently leads the CFL in passing with 687 yards and six touchdown throws despite only playing a little over a quarter in the RedBlacks’ opener.

Betting Trends

Calgary is 3-1 both SU and ATS in its previous four games against Ottawa as the RedBlacks. The total went OVER in three of the four meetings.


Saskatchewan Roughriders (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) vs. Edmonton Eskimos (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -11 ½
Total: 49

Game Overview

Saskatchewan had to wait an extra week to get things started, but the extra time off did not help its cause. Darian Durant returned to the lineup after missing just about all of last season with a torn Achilles heel. He ended the game against Toronto with 310 passing yards and one touchdown throw, but his team was just about doubled-up on the scoreboard. Another bright spot in the passing offense was Naaman Roosevelt with nine catches for 113 yards.

The Eskimos had last week off to reflect on what went wrong in a wild overtime loss to Ottawa at home in their season opener. Quarterback Mike Reilly completed 28-of-40 attempts for 383 yards and a score in that loss with Adarius Bowman on the receiving end of nine of those completions for 106 yards. Derel Walker was also a force in the passing game in Week 1 with seven catches for 149 yards to average 21.3 yards a reception.

Betting Trends

The Roughriders have lost their last three road games against Edmonton both SU and ATS and they are just 1-8 ATS in the last nine meetings overall. The total has stayed UNDER in 17 of the last 23 meetings in Edmonton.

Friday's CFL doubleheader betting preview and odds

Calgary Stampeders at Ottawa Redblacks (-1, 52.5)

The Ottawa Redblacks look to continue their winning ways when they welcome the Calgary Stampeders to the nation's capital in their home opener Friday. Ottawa has shot out of the starting gates, beating the Edmonton Eskimos 45-37 in an overtime thriller in Week 1 before downing the Montreal Alouettes 28-13, and has won six straight regular-season games dating back to last season.

The Redblacks' offence hasn't skipped a beat with star quarterback Henry Burris sidelined with a pinky injury as free agent acquisition Trevor Harris has thrown for 687 yards and six touchdowns in Burris' absence. Calgary picked up its first win of the Dave Dickenson era following a 36-22 triumph over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Stampeders were held to under 300 yards in the loss to the BC Lions in Week 1, but sprang to life against Winnipeg as they racked up over 500 total yards and they look to create some more offensive fireworks to keep pace with the CFL's highest-scoring team. "To me it's being able to go out there and make a statement," Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell told reporters. "My favourite things to is go beat people on the road in their own house so that's what we'll be looking to do."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TSN

LINE HISTORY: The spread for this one has been all over the place this week. The game opened as a pick before Calgary was pegged as a one-point favorite Wednesday morning. By lunch time the game was back to a pick and Thursday afternoon the line was moved to -1 in favor of the home team from Ottawa. The total opened at 53 and came down 1/2 point to 52.5.

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (1-1, 1-1 ATS, 1-1 O/U): Mitchell threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns and Marquay McDaniel was the main beneficiary as he caught seven passes for a game-high 116 yards and a score in the win over the Blue Bombers. Calgary's already-thin offensive line suffered a setback when Quinn Smith injured his left arm against Winnipeg and he could miss Friday's game while Pierre Lavertu is nearing a return after missing the past month with a neck problem. Jerome Messam had his best game since joining the team in trade late last season as he rushed for 135 yards on 14 carries to earn one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week honours.

ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (2-0, 2-0 ATS, 1-1 O/U): Travon Van rushed for 86 yards before sitting out the second half with a leg injury in the win over Montreal and his status is unknown for Friday while Olivier Goulet-Veilleux will likely miss the rest of the season after fracturing his leg on a kick return in the third quarter. "There's only a certain number of guys we've got around town but that's football," Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell told reporters. "You've got to have someone step up and get it done." Chris Williams was named one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week after catching seven passes for 187 yards and a touchdown to bring his season total to 363 receiving yards and three scores.

TRENDS:

* Stampeders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in July.
* RedBlacks are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
* Under is 5-1 in Stampeders last 6 vs. a team with a winning record.
* Over is 4-1 in RedBlacks last 5 home games.

CONSENSUS: The home favorite Redblacks are picking up 54 percent of the spread picks while Over is grabbing 58 percent of the totals wagers.


Saskatchewan Roughriders at Edmonton Eskimos (-10, 52)

The Edmonton Eskimos are set to welcome back a familiar face to Commonwealth Stadium when they host the Saskatchewan Roughriders Friday. Chris Jones, who led the Eskimos to their first Grey Cup victory in 10 years in 2015, will return to Edmonton for the first time in the regular season since bolting in the winter to take a dual head coach/general manager role with the Roughriders.

The Eskimos dropped a 45-37 overtime decision to the Ottawa Redblacks in their season opener before having a bye week and hope to hand new head coach Jason Maas his first win by beating Saskatchewan for the third straight time at Commonwealth Stadium. Jones failed to secure a win in his Roughriders' debut as they fell 30-17 to the Toronto Argonauts. Saskatchewan has dropped 21 of its last 26 regular-season games, including a 1-12 road record during that span - and the Riders hope to turn their fortunes around and notch their first victory in Edmonton since a 30-27 triumph on Aug. 24, 2013. "We definitely have to be better because we didn't do enough," Saskatchewan quarterback Darian Durant told reporters. "As a whole and as a unit we have to be better."

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN2

LINE HISTORY: The Eskimos opened as lofty 10.5-point favorites and the spread came down to -10 on Tuesday morning. The total opened at 48.5 and consistantly went up 1/2 at a time all week to settle (at the time of publication of this preview) at 52.

ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS (0-1, 0-1 ATS, 0-1 O/U): A.C. Leonard, who Jones converted to a defensive end after spending last season at wide receiver with the BC Lions, recorded two sacks and was in the backfield all evening long in his first start at his new position. Offensive lineman Josiah St. John - the first overall pick in the 2016 CFL Draft - ended his month-long holdout and completed his first practice Monday. Durant looked steady in his first game since suffering a season-ending Achilles injury on opening day in 2015 as he completed 31-of-48 passes for 310 yards and a touchdown against the Argonauts.

ABOUT THE ESKIMOS (0-1, 0-1 ATS, 1-0 O/U): Mike Reilly was sharp in his first game of 2016 as he threw for 383 yards and a touchdown while John White, who missed the entire 2015 season with an Achilles injury, caught a touchdown pass and ran for another in the loss to Ottawa. Edmonton acquired Alex Hoffman-Ellis from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in return for a conditional eighth-round pick in an attempt to add depth to the linebacker corps. "We're an injury away from where a young man straight out of college is playing and that's not where we want to be," Edmonton defensive coordinator Mike Benevides told reporters. "He has played in the league and can play both outside positions."

TRENDS:

* Roughriders are 2-11-1 ATS in their last 14 road games.
* Eskimos are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games following a bye week.
* Over is 7-1 in Roughriders last 8 games following a ATS loss.
* Roughriders are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

CONSENSUS: At the time of publication of this preview, the Eskimos are picking up 56 percent of the wagers and Over is grabbing 53 percent of the action.

At the Gate - Friday
By Mike Dempsey

We have a late post on Friday, the first race at Belmont Park this afternoon at 3:05 ET. The meet is winding down and we are just a couple of weeks away from Saratoga, but boy do we have quite the day coming up on Saturday.

The Stars & Stripes Festival at Belmont Park is an 11-race card featuring six graded stakes including a couple of $1 million races.

The highlights of the day are the $1.25 million Belmont Derby Invitational (G1) and the $1 million Belmont Oaks Innovational (G1), both drawing international fields.

Sandwiched in between is the $500,000 Suburban (G2) and the three races will be televised live on the NBC, the 90-minute telecast getting underway at 4:30 ET.

The Belmont Oaks is a Breeders’ Cup Challenge “Win and You’re In” race for the Breeders’ Cup Filly & mare Turf (G1). The race drew a field of 13 including a trio of overseas invaders.

The 2-1 morning line favorite is Catch a Glimpse, winner of seven of her eight career starts for trainer Mark Casse. She wo last fall’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) and in her most recent outing beat the boys in the Penn Mile (G3).

Aidan O’Brien ships in Coolmore (12-1) and Ballydoyle (3-1), the latter the winner of the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp last fall.

O’Brien will be represented by Long Island Sound (7-2) and Deauville (4-1) in the Belmont Derby, a 1 ¼ mile test on turf that drew a field of 13.

Other stakes on the card are the $150,000 Victory Ride (G3), $500,000 Dwyer (G3) and the $400,000 Belmont Sprint Championship (G3).

The Belmont Sprint features Private Zone, last year’s runner up in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1), who won the race last year.


Here is today’s opener from Belmont Park to get the day off to a good start:

BEL Race 1 Alw $90,000N$Y (3:05 ET)
#1 Golden Sabre 5-2
#4 Twilight Eclipse 8-5
#2 Smooth Daddy 3-1
#5 Legendary 5-1

Analysis: Golden Sabre exits a fourth place finish in the Red Bank (G3) last out at Monmouth Park, beaten 1 1/2 lengths for the top spot. The third place finisher Rose Brier came back to win the Md bred Edward P. Evans in his next outing on June 25. Motion finds a good spot for his here and he has enough pedigree to handle the added ground.

Twilight Eclipse tracked the early pace and finished evenly in a third place finish last out in the Belmont Gold Cup going two miles. This guy has lost eight in a row since taking last year's Man 'o War (G1) here at this distance. He gets some class relief here for the Albertrani barn and Castellano sticks.

Wagering
WIN: #1 to win at 2-1 or better.
EX: 1,4 / 1,2,4
TRI: no play

Today’s Featured Race of the Day from Belmont Park:

BEL Race 8 OClm $62,500N2X (6:49 ET)
#2 Desiree Clary 2-1
#3 Carnevale 7-2
#6 Queen's Parade 5-2
#7 Bold Contender 6-1

Analysis: Desiree Clary makes her U.S. debut and first start since last summer for the Clement barn that is 25% winners (with a +ROI) with runners coming back off a +180-day layoff. This gal landed in the exacta in her first four starts including a Group 3 in Germany and last June ran fourth beaten two lengths in the Prix de Diane Longines (G1) at Chantilly. She is working sharply in the mornings and adds lasix to the mix here. She can handle the distance.

Carnevale is also sent out by Clement. The mare has made three starts since landing in the U.S., her best in her debut at Keeneland where she was beaten just a neck going 1 1/2 miles over good ground. She returns here off a 2 1/2 month break. She completes a strong one-two punch for the barn.

Wagering
WIN: #2 to win at 9-5 or better.

This mare getting the top prize wouldn't be impossible, a chance. Take a look at this interesting entrant's avg speed number of 88 and compare to today's class rating. Looks like a great wager. MACK'S GOLD BAND - Terrific win clip combined with recent great performances. We think he can handle this group. Take a look at this nice horse's average speed rating of 82 and compare to today's class rating. Looks like a good wager. BUCK I D - This solid standardbred may have some hidden form, a victory would be a pleasant surprise.

The Walker Group Picks

# 6 JESSIE WHO 3/1


# 5 JIMS BABY GIRL 7/2


# 1 LADY LA JOYA 5/2


My selection in here is JESSIE WHO. Must be carefully examined - I like the numbers from the last competition. The average Equibase class figure of 48 makes this entrant hard to beat. As of late Arroyo has been on fire which may give the edge to this filly. JIMS BABY GIRL - Shows evidence of the look of a lucrative play, averaging a solid 52 Equibase speed fig which is one of the strongest in this group. She has a good opportunity here as trainer, Dominguez, has strong win rate with horses going this distance. LADY LA JOYA - With a very strong 59 Equibase Speed Figure last time out, will definitely be a factor in this competition. Overall the Speed Figures of this racer look very good in this contest.

# 2 GOLD'NCITIZEN 7/2


# 6 REGAL SUNSET 8/1


# 5 BELISAMA 5/2


GOLD'NCITIZEN is my choice. Have to bet on this filly with the sound earnings per start in dirt sprint contests. Posted a respectable Equibase Speed Figure last time out. REGAL SUNSET - Could best this group of horses based on the Equibase Speed Figure - 53 - of her last outing. BELISAMA - Appears to have a decent class edge based on the recent company kept. Might best this group of horses here, showing strong numbers of late.

Gulfstream Park - Race #5 - Post: 3:21pm - Claiming - 5.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $16,000 Class Rating: 75

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#5 TIME OUT OF MIND (ML=9/2)
#3 RADAMEL (ML=7/2)
#6 ELSENORDELOSCIELOS (ML=10/1)


TIME OUT OF MIND - The rider and trainer combination have a lucrative return on investment when they combine forces. I think this gelding is ready to run a good one. He's had enough races around the track since the vacation and should be fit. RADAMEL - Have to give this horse a good chance. Ran a nice outing last time out within the last thirty days. I like this thoroughbred. Finished in front of today's morning-line favorite last out at Gulfstream Park, and I think he will do well versus this field today. The improved Equibase speed figs over the last 3 races is solid. Barboza drops him in this clash fit and ready to go. ELSENORDELOSCIELOS - Always beware of the longer priced horse when a trainer has an 'uncoupled' entry in a race.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 SWAGBAG (ML=3/1), #8 MONKEY MONEY (ML=5/1), #2 CHEVRON LIGHT (ML=8/1),

SWAGBAG - Just don't figure that he is offering enough value at the likely odds. MONKEY MONEY - Usually I need a sprinter to have some success lately in short distance events in order to wager on him. Hard to bet on at 5/1 odds after the last two showings. CHEVRON LIGHT - This steed has had no success at Gulfstream Park. Should have at least hit the board in the last couple months in a short distance affair to be worth a shot at minimal odds in a sprint. There's early speed, speed, and more speed in this race. Doesn't look too good for this animal.

Thistledown - Race #2 - Post: 1:25pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $9,300 Class Rating: 74

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#1 DREAMY (ML=7/2)
#6 CASTLE'S GIRL (ML=9/2)
#3 CAN'T CATCH KAZ (ML=6/1)


DREAMY - This mare is in exceptional condition right now. Ended up third last out and comes back soon. This rider and handler's horses have been generating a positive ROI. This race sets up for this mare. I call this the 'Lone Stalker' scenario. When the real running starts, she'll be in perfect striking position. This animal is not the M/L choice, yet she finished ahead of today's chalk in their last race together. CASTLE'S GIRL - This mare should be in tip-top shape, this far into her form cycle. When a pony drops at least five pounds (like this one is), you must take notice. It may not seem like much, but its possible this could make the difference. You have to like that most recent race speed figure, 74, which is the highest most recent race speed rating of this group. CAN'T CATCH KAZ - Finished out of the money last out at Thistledown, but was within 5 lengths of the winner. Opening at 6/1 makes me think she's got a chance. The jockey and trainer combination have a beneficial ROI when they unite. I usually like playing sprint horses who are 3-4 races into a return to racing.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 CATAFIRE (ML=5/2), #5 IDE SAY I'M CLASSY (ML=3/1), #2 WISH TONITE (ML=8/1),

CATAFIRE - I checked out this horse's past performances and she doesn't do well as the public's top choice and is likely to be favored today. Doesn't seem inspiring to me after the lack of any type of closing ability on Jun 22nd. Garnered a mediocre speed rating last time out in a $4,000 Claiming race on June 22nd. Not likely to see an improved performance off of that fig. IDE SAY I'M CLASSY - This low class level horse may have a tough time rebounding off of two grueling stretch drives. Tough to like the downward flow (46/41/35) of speed ratings. Registered a run-of-the-mill speed rating last time out in a $6,250 Claiming race on June 17th. Not probable to see an improved performance off of that rating. WISH TONITE - Tough to invest in any horse to turn things around if there is no wager value to taking the risk. The speed rating last out doesn't fit very well in this clash when I look at the class figure of today's race. Mark this horse as a possibly overvalued equine.

SPOT PLAYS: 11 - 52 / $56.40

Best Bet: MISS COCO LUCK (1st)

Spot Play: PUTNAMS NEW YEAR (2nd)


Race 1

(3) MISS COCO LUCK takes a big class plunge here and McNair will likely look to control things with her. (4) MYSTERY WRITER raced okay against slightly better but has missed some time. She can share here if she is forwardly placed early. (2) CALL ME MAYBE also figures for a slice if she is back to normal after being distanced and then requalifying. (7) CASE DISMISSED set some solid splits but was nailed late by a mare that tripped out. She figures here and could better this prediction.

Race 2

(5) PUTNAMS NEW YEAR lost some placings when he locked wheels with a rival late in the mile last time. He goes for one of the hottest barns on the grounds and gets top billing here off the claim. (2) GIVE EM HECK blasted through what looked like an impossible spot in the lane last time to win going away. He is likely the on to beat here. (1) NEVER BEEN TOLD hasn't missed the board racing out of town and is dangerous here going for the Montini barn off the claim. (4) HIGHLAND BOGART should stick around for a piece of this.

Race 3

(1) MYSTICAL MOON is a 1/2-sister to decent local performer Moonwriter who won early at two. She looks as good as any here and the inner post should help. (8) P L KALEIDOSCOPE had a decent debut at Vernon from which he should go forward from here. (3) SPORTSCRAZY - and $8K Forest City sale buy - is a 1/2-sister to several winners and likely has more speed to offer than what she shows in her past performance lines. (5) TREASURES PEARL didn't show much in her opener but she appears to face much easier here and she could wake up at a price.

Race 4

(3) RUBIS PRESCOTT plunges several class levels here and is sure to get put into play much earlier than she has been recently; top call. (7) LYONS RIVER PRIDE impressively drew off after a long first-over trip to beat easier and is in with a shot here off that sharp win. (6) BAROCKEY drops again and is an obvious danger from close range. (9) RIDE AWAY SHARK will be coming late, as usual, but may not be close enough at the 3/4 to pass them all.

Race 5

(4) STELLENBOSCH is a full-sister to Mindsweeper who won her first start, earned $268K and took her life's mark of 1:50 4/5 at Mohawk. The filly that won the June 25th qualifier, jogged here on Tuesday night and looks like she could be special; top call. (8) BID WRITER is from a dam that produced 8 winners from 8 that have raced and she qualified sharply on July 1st. She looks like the one to beat. (2) TALBOT CHANEL - a $60K Harrisburg buy - looks ready to contend right away. (9) SPORTY GUSSIE motored home in her qualifier and can't be discounted.

Race 6

(7) ABBIJADE HANOVER moves in three posts and faces a group that are as win-shy as she is. She could do here at a price in the widest-open race of the card. (3) WILDCAT BEAUTY fits this class well but just can't seem to notch that initial 2016 win; maybe vs. these? (5) SHELLYSSILVERMOON stands an upset chance if she leaves in the top flight, which is a good possibility here. (1) NAUGHTY LADY B gapped cover late last time but could get a following inside trip here then pounce late.

Race 7

(8) YARIS BAYAMA closed well in her debut vs. a repeat winner and this Sportswriter filly didn't miss 2nd by that much. Expect a more aggressive drive this time. (6) P L KARIS is a 1/2-sister to three winners from three that have raced from the dam and her qualifiers have been outstanding; using. (9) TWIN B CHEEKS finished on even terms with the choice and could crash the exotics at a price here. (2) THREE SECRETS finished well on a track rated one second slow on July 1st and she could complete the tri or super off a following trip here.

Race 8

(8) WRANGLER MAGIC destroyed an easier group but now that she is back on track she could take another here. (10) SANDBETWEENURTOES is the obvious mare to beat here, but, how low of a price would you take from post 10 with her having missed three weeks? (1) OUR HOT MAJORETTE faces easier and should be right there if put into play early enough. (6) BEDROOMCONFESSIONS is another classy mare that got back on track vs. easier. She isn't out of this.

Race 9

(8) SPORTS BEAUTY is a full-sister to Sports Bettor (8 wins, $198K, 1:53 H.) that gets a good spot for her debut; top call. (3) MACH ON had a solid opener against a repeat winner and should do well here vs. easier. (7) PL KATNISSEVERDEEN is a 1/2-sister to The Prophet Mary (31 wins, $168K) and The Platinum Guy (24 wins, $233k) and she goes for a high % trainer here; using. (4) LOVES ANGEL had a decent debut at Clinton and can share here with that experience in tow.

Race 10

(7) LEGAL PROCESS drops back to the level she won at two back and should be right there vs. these; slight nod. (4) SOUTHWIND GEISHA should get a more aggressive steer here and get a good piece of this. (10) MAPLELEA was more like her old self last time and could pop here at a price. (1) P L HURRICANE rarely missed by much and should get a good trip leaving from the inside here; consider. (3) MOREMUNKYBUSINESS had a rough trip off the claim last time and she should contend in this field.

Best Bet: EVERY WAY OUT (2nd)

Spot Play: CHECKMATE TIME (3rd)


Race 1

(5) FLY ON chased a somewhat slow pace and sprinted home nicely in her pari-mutuel debut. He can build on that effort. The well bred (9) KING ON THE HILL made a late miscue in his debut and now adds Yannick Gingras to the equation. He clearly merits consideration but seems likely to be overbet. (2) SOUTHWIND COBRA put in a credible mile last week and seems worth using.

Race 2

(1) EVERY WAY OUT took care of business easily with the trainer in the bike last week and should have at least similar results against the same field with Tetrick driving. (3) DEO GALILEO was no match for the top one last week but nearly 10 lengths better than the rest; ice cold $4 exacta in store. (2) ICANWITHMAGIC looks as good as any of the rest.

Race 3

(9) CHECKMATE TIME was driven with extreme patience in her debut and she promptly uncorked a 26 1/5 final quarter to sprint by the field. This Muscle Hill-Miss Checkmate filly seems to have some ability. (6) FEED YOUR HEAD wasn’t awful in her first pari-mutuel race and can improve. (2) ROMANCING RACHEL could have a chance if she can mind her manners.

Race 4

(6) KENNAN bested a similar group in the amateur ranks two starts back and seems to be slightly better than these. (5) CAPTAIN PRIMEAU has done well in these amateur races and should bring another honest effort. (8) NOWUCIT NOWUDONT is good enough to win, but this horse is not the best fit for an amateur driver.

Race 5

(3) SHE’S WATCHING, a half-sister to world champion He’s Watching, put forth a strong qualifying mile last time and her lone morning defeat came at the hands of World Apart, a 6-1/2 length first out winner in 1:55 2/5. (1) SOMETHINGINAWATER finished up her most recent qualifier with something left. Both of Wenditions first two foals set their lifetime marks as 2-year-olds—1:52 4/5 and 1:51 4/5. (4) ALL ABOUT THE PACE & (2) MISS JONES both come in off wins in the morning and deserve some consideration in a field with talent.

Race 6

You would think that I’ve had enough of (4) JACK VERNON by now. I just keep getting sucked in by his pure speed. Driver David Miller has sat behind him twice and was able to keep him trotting. Maybe he is the answer. (2) DOG GONE LUCKY would be my pick if this race was going for $100k, but I would imagine he’ll get a conservative steer once again this week. (5) WAITLIFTER K raced okay to start his 2016 campaign and should be helped by the addition of Tetrick. (8) MARION MARAUDER seems like to be closing from last as he gets a start over the track prior to stakes action.

Race 7

(1) INITTOWINAFORTUNE has been getting better each week and finished just a neck behind (7) MEDUSA last time. Let’s give her the narrow call to turn the tables on Medusa and snap the 5-year-old’s four-race winning streak. (2) KATIE SAID was a killer about a month ago but hasn’t been quite as sharp lately. That said, I respect her chances.

Race 8

(7) CRAZY WOW finally kept his act together for an entire race in his last start and now might be able to work on winning. He certainly has the class to overpower these. (5) DANISH DURANGO seeks his fifth straight win. (8) WIND OF THE NORTH hasn’t done much; class relief should help. (4) ITS HUW YOU KNOW has the speed to get the jump on them early.

Race 9

(7) CLEMENTINE DREAM came up short in the stretch versus a much better group than she faces tonight. The form is there and I’ll stick with her. (5) SOUTHWIND POSEIDON ships in from Tioga off a nice win and picks up Gingras. Note that he trotted in 1:52 3/5 here last year. (4) BLUE MUSE is a fairly consistent sort who should get a decent piece.

Race 10

(5) PURITY remains in decent form and gets a meaningful class drop to NW5000 tonight. (4) FOUR HOUR NAP gets a nice driver change to David Miller and has the early speed to make his presence felt. (7) KIA KAHA N makes her U.S. debut off a solid qualifier. (3) LET HER ROCK also gets a new pilot at the helm.

Race 11

(6) LIVINGINTHEDREAM overcame post 10 to score at first asking and faces a similar field this week. (5) WONDERFUL WORLD was a solid second behind the top choice last week; main danger. (7) STRONGRTHANASTORM broke at 2-1 in his debut and probably deserves a second chance.

Race 12

(9) WORLD CUP comes off a win versus cheaper, but this field isn’t exactly world-class. I’ll take a shot with Gingras jumping in the bike. (3) CELEBRITY STIMULUS has won two straight and the trifecta is not out of the question. (1) KELSEY’S KEEPSAKE has some ability if she can put it all together.

Race 13

(4) IRISH KATH N was better in her qualifier than it appears on paper. She faced some traffic and finished up willingly. (1) JANIE BAY improved as expected on the class drop and now drops in for a tag; very dangerous. (7) MILLWOOD FAITH N raced well in her U.S. debut and adds Tetrick now. (6) M A JACKIE has been a steady check-getter.

Yonkers: Friday 7/8 Analysis
By Brewster Smith

DRF HARNESS

MEET STATS: 162 - 678 / $1,037.90

BEST BETS: 17 - 67 / $75.50

Best Bet: RAMPAGE JACKSON (4th)

Spot Play: ALHAMBRA (11th)


Race 1

(2) AUTOMATIC SLIMS tired in the stretch run last out. 10-year-old should get a much better trip from the 2-hole and good to see Brennan signs on. (4) MONTREAL PHIL took the pocket route last out for all the glory. (1) MUSTANG MACH N broke at the start as the chalk recently but a turnaround is not out of the question.

Race 2

(1) CLEM Quite sharp in his last three tries and the good news is he draws the pole position; ready for action. (2) UNCLE GOODFELLOW showed good pace was no match for a pumped up Rampage Jackson last out. (3) NABBER AGAIN came down the center of the track to grab the victory in his latest.

Race 3

(7) KILLER MARTINI showed life in his last start and this gelding is seeking his first score of the year; worth a shot. (2) LEGION OF BOOM should fare well from the 2-hole and Brennan has the assignment. (8) JULERICA has three good Pennsylvania starts; post hurts tonight but is very capable.

Race 4

You have to love (2) RAMPAGE JACKSON's solid form. Gelding has gotten the job done 7 of 9 starts this year; should keep his winning ways intact against this group. (6) BLADE SEELSTER is knocking at the door based on his last two trips to the post. (7) SEA STAR could land a share of the purse.

Race 5

(1) HOPE FOR BADLANDS comes by way of Philly and gets a cozy post hoping to get the job done. (3) MASTERSON leaves door number seven and this gelding will try to return to his winning ways. (5) J JS DELIVERY flashed good speed last time around at Philly.

Race 6

(2) HIDDEN LAND led most of the way but did not have enough gas in the tank and settled for show money in her most recent outing. At her best she can make tonight a winning one. (7) MACH IT A PAR has scored in her last two tries and figures to make some noise again. (8) KRISPY APPLE wheeled off two straight victories; watch out.

Race 7

(7) TIPITINA Pacing mare has hit the board 11 of 20 starts this year and this could be a great setup for this 6-year-old to mow these down for the upset. (4) JONSIE JONES was sent down the road in her last trip for all the glory. (1) SHEEZA SHARK N gets post relief and that should help her cause.

Race 8

(8) CINAMONY Sharp in her last four starts. Pacing mare gets a tough post to seek all the marbles but based on her good form she could be a major threat against these. (6) TATALLY RUSTY Meadowlands invader moves down the ladder and should make some noise. (4) HIPNUMBERONE closed fast to miss the victory by only 3/4's of a length recently at Pocono.

Race 9

(1) PLAYAWAY N stays in the same company but moves to the rail. Mare could take this with a well rated drive. (5) MY TALLIA IDEAL closed down the center of the track to grab the victory last time out. (2) SAGE N raced evenly for show money in her latest.

Race 10

(7) LETTUCEROCKU A has tactical speed and should receive good position from the 7-hole; with some luck he could mow these down for win honors. (1) GALLANT SEELSTER Easy victory last out for this pacing gelding and the rail should put him right in the hunt for the double. (4) COWBOY TERRIER might have been used up in the early stages recently and good to see Brennan keep the faith.

Race 11

(5) ALHAMBRA Mare is knocking at the door based on her last three trips to the post. 6-year-old figures to get a good trip and take these to task. (2) GROUNDED has hit the board 14 of 20 starts this year and Brennan stays. (3) NARCIAN JEWEL was sharp from the pocket and lost glory by 1/2 length.

Race 12

(1) ANISTON SEELSTER was caught at the wire last out but she held on for the show spot. Now this mare moves down a notch in class and retains the rail slot; threat at her best. (4) DILLY DALI was second best in her last trip and seems to be heading in the right direction. (2) JADED DREAM was sent down the road in her latest for all the glory at Philly; watch out.
