Saturday Picks

Supposed to be 40-50 and rainy--track could be a quagmire, and I am posting these picks early-- on Friday afternoon- so if the the track is sloppy, soupy, muddy or goupy, I cannot be responsible for their accuracy.

Race 1: 4 Jate's Boy- easy spot and better post; 1 Ryans Hall- much better in last and draws well again; 5 Panda Cafe-class relief, but has been awful since the claim.

Race 2: 5 Dublin Dollars- Gonna need an exacta to be doblin your dollars. 2-5 is an overlay here; 2 Tommy G- last race was better than the line looks; 9 Lukenbak-fast closing secodn to my choice in last.

Race 3: 5 Fortune Ho- positive barn change off a win; 6 Allamerican Viper- drops off two tough efforts; 4 Sam's Delight- was decent in debut at this level .

Race 4: 6 Sunday Attack- Improving with each start; 5 Bad Boy Bunny- always right there; 9 Eagle Tack- has been facing better; 4 Rock N Roll Pan- inconsistent, but solid connections.

Race 5: 1 Happy Riggs- trip from heck last time; fits here; 5 Buzz Hershey- keeps moving forward; 4 Eagle Creek Patrol- Mapes barn is hot.

Race 6: 5 Hooray For Mom- Huge effort in last; similar and she rolls; 2 Speed Talker- draws well and faces softer; 3 Chust Chudy- showed signs of life; tons of back class.

Race 7: 9 Rapid Dialing- Mom was a monster and this one is pretty good-especially for $5K; 3 Go Again- took pressure in last, can contend; 7 Glitter For Prez- Matt K to Robin leaves questions, as does PP7; 4 Knob Hill Splash- class dropper hasn't been bad.

Race 8: 4 Bologna Lips- Aaron;s choice over the Coalburner; 3 Smok'n Coalburner- has always been streaky; 2 Yankee Sherwood- Cliff would say he lives in this class and I agree.

Race 9: 7 Oh Gee Whiz- needs to overcoem the post; 5 State of the Union- Has won here at this level; 6- Lite Me Up- Sick scratch is a question mark.

Race 10: 9 J T Stena- Has been brilliant, but no Kakaley tonight; 2 Artistic Dreamer- barn change could help; 1 Tj's First- competed at this spot two back, don't dismiss; 4 Utica Hanover- could get a small piece of this

Race 11: 2 Lucca's Revenge- finally looked recovered from illness last week; 5 Master Wheels- always a good effort for the Dirty One; 8-American Tribute- post the only knock on the mare.

Race 12: Category Six- best post draw in a year and sitting on a big effort; 4 Whatanartist- tons of back class but off a three plus year layoff?; 9 Lady Mcjate- can compete from second tier.

race 13: 3 Armadas Rocket-drops to level of last win in an evenly matched group; 5 Knockout Sahbra-rarely wins, but always does work at this level; 2 Take Down Hall- inconsistent but fits well off anything resembling his best; 1 Sporty Moran-draws better than Matisse; could finish super with me in the bike.
