Some interesting driver choices bythe nation's leading driver, Aaron Merriman. I think he has driven as many winner as I have picked, so I will roll with a lot of his choices. In that big t-bred race in Louisville...the, uh what;s it called? Oh yea, Kentucky Derby, I like Fresian Fire at a decent price, but not if he is the fave. He has been a bit lost in the hubbub over some of the others, but is solid. Of course, the favorite may be 7-2 or 4-1 , so there should be value everywhere. Good luck!!
Race 1: 1 The Long Goodbye- Aaron jumps on after being listed on 2 & 4, a huge angle; 4 Go Again- Moves up but has been dominant for $5K; 6 Whos Yur Daddy Now- Sharp but not usually effective from outside.
Race 2: 6 Lisa’s Mom- Well connected filly should go forward in 2nd local start; 5 Special Bay- Raced well in ‘09 debut and can improve; 1 He’s Fulla Chip- Guagliardo for McKirgan, hmmmm?
Race 3: 1 Sic Em Tiger- Drops below the level of his last win and gets the rail; 3 Jates Rookie- Another class dropper, his lone ’09 win was here; 9 Chief Connection- Improving for J.D.
Race 4: 5 Harmony Oaks Tom- Aaron’s choice has done everything but win in last three; 3 David Erol- ML choice gets Charlino with A-rod choosing off; 1 Travel Bug N- Usually hangs around when drawing well; 8 Mr Kite- The best here, but he gets the snowman.
Race 5: 6 Colossal Sahbra- Good effort dropping to this level in her last; 9 Voo Doo U Too- Big win in last, can she overcome 2nd tier? 3 Rhiannon O Rhye- Best draw in a couple months.
Race 6: 2 Forever Friendly- No chance in last, better post here; 5 Nuclear Cam- Solid qua. 4/23 and now gets Aaron; 1 Inquisitve Me- His dad won the Breeders Crown here, consider from rail.
Race 7: 2 Up Front Hnaover- Huge mile off the reclaim, loves the front; 4 Irish Raider- Third back and in a little softer; 9 Hard Time Gone- Charlino could help this one; 1 Noble Star King- Wildly inconsistent, but gets the rail here.
Race 8: 1 Glasslite- Class was opened up for him off a big mile in last; 5 Wyatt- Consistent, but winless this year; 6 Trytopass Sam- Consistent against lesser, went forward off the claim.
Race 9: 6 Itza Goozi Girl- Always does work, now gets Merriman; 9 Sweetie Peetie- Not quite sure what to do with her from the nine hole; 1 Don’t Dally Witch- Showed improvement in last.
Race 10: 2 Soul Redeemer- A “wow” mile in last against softer; 4 Michael C Hanover- Back at a more realistic level; 9 Elm Grove Gerson- Wyatt’s choice over Spastic is a bit of a surprise; 6 Expensive Western- Looking for some value with this consistent performer.
Race 11: 7 Chippendale Dancer- Always does work, will win eventually; 4 Elektrafreak- Moves up in sharp form, but won’t win; 1 Yankee Coburn- No chance in last, will be forward here.
Race 12: 1 Category Six- Aaron’s choice over 2 & 8 should go forward; 9 B T Attack- Gets a perfect trip for Page; 5 Lite Me Up- 2008 HOTY has been off a month- freshened or an issue?
Race 13: 7 Laughing Is An Art- Aaron jumps off 3 & 9 to drive this one, slight improvement over Kash Sr; 3 Keystone Swinger- Has shown little and those Mea classes are deceptive; 6 Buzz Hershey- Caught in some fast miles, could contend.
Race 14: 1 M G Frederique- Aaron chooses over 2/3/8/9. ‘nuff said; 6 Free For Life- Keeps making money, but not winning; 9 Art’s Baker- Tough trip off the claim; 4 Zakman- Gets class drop but has show little.
