Race 8 - $10,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
1,3,4 / 2,4 / 4,5,6 / 1= $18
Best Bet: STRONG PLAYIN KING (4th)
Spot Play: GREEN ACRELOLLYPOP (5th)
Race 1
(4) GLOWING EMBERS drops in class and will offer a nice price in a wide open race. (6) BOOKEM owns wins at this level; threat. (9) TYMAL BLING also drops down but has just been racing evenly.
Race 2
(7) DREAMY FELLA is too good for this bunch with a trouble-free trip. (9) SIMPLY ROCKIN has yet to break his maiden but did finish a solid second last start. (1) CHICKENWITHABANJO looks to be in line for a nice trip up close.
Race 3
(9) DR GREEN lightly raced trotter gets sent out for capable connections and has room to improve. (3) CHAMBORO AS is just now back in racing shape and comes off two nice efforts. (1) MOLLY'S IMAGE six-year-old mare could hit the ticket at a price if she minds her manners.
Race 4
(8) STRONG PLAYIN KING is starting to put it all together and will be very tough to beat with a similar effort to his last start. (1) SOUTHSIDE CHRIS has been competitive at this level but will need more to hit the top spot. (5) FRONTIER JACK showed good improvement last week but is probably best used underneath.
Race 5
(4) GREEN ACRELOLLYPOP showed a decent burst of speed last start against slightly better. (2) CALLIT AS U SEEIT mare burned cash last week and had no excuse off easy fractions; command a price. (7) SOMEDAY LU gets a tough post and probably needs some racing luck to hit the ticket.
Race 6
In the toughest race to handicap on the card, (4) MAGIC CASINO will offer a big price in a field where the entire field is camera shy. (9) RIDGE PARK has just been racing evenly but has been competitive against better. (1) SKY LAUXMONT is the horse to beat on paper but owns only one win in well over a year; use caution.
Race 7
(9) LIMA RITCH could be primed for an improved effort third start back against a suspect bunch. (5) LISLEA PAT takes a significant drop down to the bottom level; threat. (2) JF COOKIN picks up a big driver change with a good post.
Race 8
(1) UBETTERUBETTERUBET pacer has been off over a month but gets the best post down in class. (3) JM'SDUKEOFDELIGHT gets sent out for the top trainer in a field full of question marks. (4) BOUND TO SCORE owns a good brush when timed right.
Race 9
(2) SOUTHWIND NAZARETH was the driver's choice for capable connections. (4) TSUNAMI DREAM will look to make it five straight wins; fires early. (1) TEXT WINNER well bred stallion is very fast but is coming off an eight month layoff and could need a start.
Race 10
In a wide open and evenly matched race, (4) AUTO PILOT can jump up with big efforts from time to time and is down at the bottom level. (6) STRONSKI drops down in class but has just been racing evenly; threat. (5) FOLLOW THROUGH raced well last start and can threaten with a similar effort.
Race 11
(1) BEAUTIFUL RED mare should be able to control the early pace which puts her in a great spot turning for home. (4) ADDIE PIE five-year-old owns a good move when timed right but gets sent out for a low percentage pilot. (2) GOOD ROBERTA owns a win against similar and looks to be in line for a great trip up close.
Race 12
(6) BLUE JACKET LUKE will look to make it five wins in eight starts and will be tough to beat with an easy early lead. (2) VERDICT has been racing gamely and wasn't far off the top choice last out; threat. (1) CROESUS didn't win a single start last year; use underneath.
Race 13
(6) CAMART HANOVER has been competitive against much tougher and will offer a better price than most of the contenders. (1) HALL OF MEMORIES will likely take heavy tote action dropping in class with a top driver. The pacer has a history of giving it up late. (5) PERSPECTIVE could be the sleeper in the race getting sent out first start for a new trainer.
Race 14
In a really weak field, (3) SAY IT AIN'T SOHO has been pacing faster than most of the field and just needs a smooth trip for a chance at a piece. (1) LLOYD ARNOLD gets the best post against a suspect bunch. (9) MM'S SHOCKING GUY might have found a spot he can compete; threat.
Race 15
(2) GET GOIN MEL drops down to the bottom condition and when right is better than this group. (1) DANNYS MAN sports a terrible win record but has just missed in two straight; threat. (6) MATTOX'S WESTERN has been facing much tougher but has a bunch of question marks showing multiple scratches on his lines.
