WO R4:

, Italo: appears to be easily best here but tough to bet as 1) Contreras is up -- and there's no telling what he'll do; 2) will be very difficult to close on that turf course

, Jolson: not much horse but he has speed and will be very dangerous.

, Buongiorno Johnny: another speed type; never turfed before.

8 won it @ 3:1. Did the smart thing and stayed out of this one.

WO R5:

route that appears to be loaded with speed. also has quite a few that don't like to win. I can't see this one not falling apart. Though, the three that are stretching out for the 1st time and figured to show speed all have BLINKERS OFF.

, Bluegrass Bear: didn't have a 'good' race until his last one. This is the kind of horse that has shown he needs a huge pace collapse to win. But, he ran on his own last out and the proliferation of pace types actually makes him a very strong play today. Conditional win bet @ 4:1

, Infinity Obo: very nice against the grain effort last out. Now he tries a route for the 1st time. Hard to see this one not being with the pace, even with blinkers off, and thus being compromised. And Callaghan is always in a hurry. Plus, he's getting bet. Would bet to win if he gets over 10:1

, Jinx Buster: another one that doesn't like to win but, at least, he has excuses in some of his races.

4, Master Noble: longshot special

exotics as well

6 wires the field; 4 and 7 decide to rate. Gotta love Reade Baker (and the equally inept McAleney). At least you know he didn't like this horse as it went off 9:1. Reade does like to tout.

WO R6:

, September Square: some decent races last year; nada so far this year. Get blinkers on and should be running late. Not touching him unless at least 10:1.

, Artie Hot: best of the rest

4, Buy With Gold: speed; stretching back out; but Chircop is struggling so far this year.

VDG · 05-30-2012, 10:19 PM

ran 7-4-5-1

VDG · 05-30-2012, 10:32 PM

it's almost over.

Another terrible WED night card @ WO

R7:

, On the Nose: slammed hard and forced out at the break, finished well late in race that didn't come back. Only knock on this one is that it's stretching from 5F to 6F; and is getting quite a bit of play.

, Thatboathassailed: Black's other runner. 1st time out this year; some nice races last year -- most of them routes. Supposed to handle this bunch of rats.

R8:

, Here Comes Love: a bunch of decent efforts routing last year. Wish Fraser wasn't on but she's as good as any in here.

3, Forest Maid; 7, Niigon's Princess, are the other ones.

Terrible ride by Bahen on the 5. But it was one that could be anticipated. Horses stretching from 5F to 6F, that run late at the shorter distance, are prone to hanging; especially if they're driven to the lead on the turn. A jock is supposed to know this; or his agent is supposed to clue him in. The horse wins with a better timed ride. His barn mate won it with a patient ride by Stein.

Yet another sprinter routes for the 1st time and wires the field. 2 ran very well but couldn't get up for my double. Nothing sucks worse than BIASED tracks.

VDG · 06-02-2012, 01:29 PM

6/2

************************

WO R1

, Coral Sands: cutting back to a sprint after making a bid to get to 2nd then backing up going 8.5F last out. Should have a better closing kick today.

, Wild Strike: absolutely loathe Ramsammy but this one is working bullets for 1st race since the fall and is dropping significantly; figures to be the clear speed (unless Husbands goes with the 4, which gets blinkers on today) and should be tough to run down

, Narrate and

, Rio Bay, are both dropping in class and are the others ones.
