Picking Contenders & Pacelines

[For The Lead]

Here is a claiming race for $15,000 with a NW3L condition. ACTUALLY...it is a "C" condition. Here is the condition: Purse $23,000. For Fillies Three Years Old Or Fillies And Mares Four Years Old And Upward Which Have Never Won Three Races.
So what does this mean? It means three year olds may have won MORE THAN 3 races and still be eligible. Only the older horses are restricted to just 2 wins.
In this race, #'s 3 and 5 have already won 4 and 3 races respectively. All the rest have just 2 lifetime wins.
There are only 6 horses in the field.

#1 - last line. same class level and condition as today's race
#2 - last line. the horse is shipping in from PRX where it has been runnning in starter allowance race with a NW3L condition
#3 - last line. This is the early horse in this race. I have labeled it an "F" which means it is an early fighter. I encourage everyone reading this to look at this horse's PP's and see how this horse WILL fight for the lead from beginning to end. Although this horse is moving up in claiming price, it is also moving down in condition, from an "open" race to a NW3L or "C". This horse has already won 4 lifetime races.
#4 - no line. this horse's most recent two lines are in route races.
#5 - last line. this is another horse moving up in claiming price, but moving down in condition, from an "open" race to a NW3L or "C". This horse has won 3 lifetime races.
#6 - last line. same class level and same condition.

The winner, #3, paid $22.00.
Not bad in a 6 horse field.
