Well I have been off for some time and am hoping to pull a few decent winners tonight. I took a swing at last nights card on 4 races and hit one good Tri for $380 and a matching ex at $50. A couple winners rounded it out but overall I found the field to be a little off. Closers were having a hell of a time on a track that usually lends itself to closers. If there is somethng that I am missing please fill me in!
Anyway, let's post a few and maybe get some input before I lay bets tonight - I am doing it online this evening
Heavier Tri bets will depend on how things go early. If I am waaaay off then I may relax and lengthen my pockets.
Race1: TurnPike Token.
Should be the class here but need to watch the tote and see if it's worth the bet.
I think that Fatal Embrace#2 could take the win here and Lesterstrikesagain will also contend.
Fatal Embrace WPS (best odds?)
Turnpike (chalk?)
2-4-7 ex box
2,4/2,4/all tri.
Race3: This should be a Caesar #5 & Eldorado Max#6 race - maybe chalky on both
I am going to buck the trend a bit with Kirkman WPS (assuming some higher odds)
Caesar WP.
4,5,6 ex box
5/4,6/all tri.
Race5: 10 horse field and well contested. Rye&Water should take chalk out of the 10 hole and rightfully so. Nevertheless I think he can be beat and therefore give me some better value here.
#4 Red Star Tex is one of my favourites who happens to be climbing the class ladder and doing well. "I've Got Life" should also give a good run if the #1 hole isn't a problem .
#4 WPS Red Star Tex
Ex box 4,1,10
Tri : 4,1/4,1/all (or 2,3,7,9,10 if you want to cut costs)
Trying to beat Rye here UNLESS he surprises and comes in with odds better then 8-5
Race 6: #5 O Bob WPS
Should see #7 Son of Grace right there with #8 True Story
**I am looking very closely at #3 Crown Land as well.
#5 WPS
5-7-3 ex box
5,3/5,3/1,2,4,7,8 (or all if you want to cover the other few)
Race7:
Very tough field here and I expect some chalk that cannot be left out of the mix
#2 Tycoon Hanover - Should handle this step up and I am guessing early that the public will be hitting him hard.
Somewhere in my head I am being told to play the dropper - #1 Westcoast Man" A very poor finish in the Willowdale Series could be blamed on having to run against Pronger at a very fast pace. This group shouldn't press him and I expect a healthy price.
I expect CC and #7 "Living Well to be there as well
#2 Tycoon Hanover ??? Odds? WP?
#1 WPS Westcoast Man
Ex box 1,2,7
Tri: 2/1,7/all
5/7,3/all
Race8: Urban Turban #4
Love this horse - he can open and he can close.....just have to see what he brings tonight
#4 WPS Turban
4-6-5 ex box
4,6/4,6/1,3,5,8,9
Race 10: Black Tie Hanover
Coming back down, Hanover should be able to keep pace even from the 9 hole and have plenty to show for the big close
#8 Not Demott looks strong as well.
I am torn between E Merg Ng #5 and a horse that I cannot underestimate #2 KnotinmyKnickers (could have speed that may fool me)
Copeland Dan is very capable and I suspect will take wagering. I don't think he has been quite right in a while though.
Good Luck to all and hopefully we can tag a couple this evening!
cheers

#9 WPS
9-8-2 ex box
9,8/9,8/all
