Saturday picks

I reserve the right to change all of these depending on how hard it rains, lol. If it's dry, I am in the winners circle. Say hello if you get a chance. Also, check out a really cool non-racing blog if you get time. It's called They're not listening


Race 1: 4 Lucca’s Revenge- Best post in quite a while and the main threat gets assigned; 1 He’s Spurtacular- Stalking sort gets the trip he needs here; 3 Americvan Tribute- In better position to contend than Master Wheels, who is ineffective when outside.

Race 2: 2 Spellbinder- Credible effort dropping off the sick scratch, fits well; 4 Depravedhedonist- Aaron’s choice over the #3 – a it inconsistent for me; 3 Golden Nutmeg- Another huge effort last week wasn’t enough to get to victory lane.

Race 3: 1 Rose Run Equal- 2nd back after a year off (did you notice that?) a dangerous choice, but faces weak ones; 6 Vrahos Again- Consistent of late; 3 Touch Of Nay- Improvement in last.

Race 4: 4 Noble Cruiser- Impressive debut, how fast can he go? 3 Saucy Brown- What can Brown do for you? Fits well; 1 Meritage Hanover- Must stay flat; 5 Irish Raider- Must use at the bottom of this super.

Race 5: 1 Painted Speed- Stahl’s choice, so I flipped my top two; 3 Fortune Ho- lack of Matt the only concern; 5 Armbro Deck- No chance in last, Mooney has slumped to .744 UTRS. Horrid.

Race 6: 4 Lakeside AL N- Aaron off an inside Schillaci horse; 1 Fox Valley Jammin- Awful trip in last, another chance; 2 Go Bogart- Showed he fits with these two back- Sam will help price.

Race 7- 4 Liftoff Bayama- May have got brave at 200ps; 2 G Rod- On the chooch, needs to finish better; 5 Snows Bangert Boy- Races well for Aaron; 6 The Big Wazoo- Has been third twice in a row at this level.

Race 8: 5 Anastasia Broadway- I can excuse one break; Hello Carlo- Dislikes the rail, must be careful leaving the switch; 8 First Tier- May not be close enough early, but will fly late.

Race 9: 1 Sparks Of Gold- Moves up off a deceptively good mile, should get a perfect trip; Bj’s Tune- Can he overcome the snowman? 5 J T Stena- Still racing well at this tag, don’t dismiss.

Race 10: 9 Downtown Dude- Likes this track and could win for the Decker dude; 1Jate’s Boy- A factor from the rail; 2 E C K – Draws well here, otherwise not sure why; 7 Linns Dream- Needs to overcome the draw, but usually does work.

Race 11: 4 Category Six- It may have been live cover, but still a solid mile, concerned with Stahl’s choice off; 1 Dontgetintheway- Stahl chooses this one but I am not convinced yet; 7 Royal\ton Star- Has 3 of his last 4 without a good draw, but now draws even worse.

Race 12: 5 Spires Trick- Josh chose to the 2, a horse he used to train, no biggie, imo; attached; 7 Osborne’s Bullet- Has to be a key somewhere; 2 Armadas Rocket- Former Kash-trainee must to leave better, but still fits with this bunch.

Race 13: 9 Fancy Schmansy- Big-time wakeup call last week; 2 Eagle Creek Patrol- Will have no idea what to do this far inside; 3 Currently Flying- Races well when he draws well, he does, he should; 1 Knockout Sahbra- 2 for ’08-09 a problem, but can hang from the rail.
