Monday Madness

No Aaron Merriman makes this a tough card. There will be some longshots, but I'll be darned if I can figure out which ones. Most of these horses got last week off for Memorial Day, when were dark. Will that hurt or help? Angles galore-- pick the right ones and lots of money to be made. Watch for last minute changes-- I will be. GOOD LUCK!

Race 1: 7 So Fly- Costly break in last, but Henry has highest UDRS of these drivers, a chance; 3 Stimulus Package- Good qualifier at ScD and a good draw; 6 J And S Hoover- Good work in last and from a good trotting barn.

Race 2: 3 Ms Cruzin On Top- Had 2 good Q’s against a bit better, decent from the 2nd tier in last; 1 Cracker Chris- Ships in, draws in and drops down; 7 Northern Shine- No chance last time.

Race 3: 1 Llc- Trip too tough in 1st start for Ben and Kurt; 4 Son Of A Spur- Big class dropper has shown signs of waking up; 9 Lumberjack Lavec- Also gets class relief and could surprise.

Race 4: 1 Western Eddie- These are the kind of races Karcher horses seem to win a lot; 6 Ohio Star- Stuck here for awhile, but doing work; 3 Swift Blade- Draws better, had late pace in last; 5 My Buddy Two- Class dropping newcomer could be anything, the for sale sign is likely out.

Race 5: 3 Scoremania- Is due and the fave has the 2nd tier; 9 Rose Run Freddie- Back class, but draw stinks (again); 1 Moneyman- claimer in a cheap condition. Where have I heard that?

Race 6: 7 Valid Moment- Has been knocking on the door, may be overbet; 5 Helenmotion- Couldn’t bring myself to pick Henry on top twice in one night; 1 Jet Packed Kitten- Aggressive trip in first back off the layoff is a positive sign.

Race 7: 4 Special Bay- In at a level where she can win, first time tag; 1 Trained To Trot- Another first time claimer gets the rail for Bullet Bob; 3 Cinderella’s Pete- A step slow on paper, but consider with Matt K.; 5 Come Along Fred- Can he be fourth six in a row at this level?

Race 8: 3 I’m Patrick- Finally a draw AND a driver; 2 Chisum- Inconsistent, but gets a soft field; 1 Nf Gallivant- The rail at this level is huge.

Race 9: 9 Sturdy Falcon- Stepped up big time for Schrack/Kakaley; 3 Charming Comer- Positive form cycle; 2 Mr Mime- Second decent draw in last seven, he won the last time.

Race 10: 4 Race Track Cruiser- Lukewarm call, he gets class relief but has shown little; 6 Yankee Squire- Monster effort for Aaron in last, gets the trainer here, though; 1 Mor Of That- Tactical speed in his second start back; 8 Nl Nuclearmedicine- On top pick with a better draw.

Race 11: 5 Shelly Ross- Getting better with every start; 7 Eyes Of Texas- Supposed to be a good one, raced like it last time; 2 Kyle Doodles- Consider off the Q, but Robin is no Palone.

Race 12: 5 Constantinoble- Was huge in his last and may be a value; 7 Dreamie Affair- Won from here against lesser, consider; 9 Fox Valley Galaxy- Looks like he needs the front and I don’t see him getting it here.

Race 13: 6 Fancy Schmansy- Back class and woke up with the drop last time; 9 Eagle Cluff Attack- Decent first back for a barn that does well here; 2 Laag Ness Monster- Gets Kakaley off a couple flat Toledo efforts; 5 Real Sexy- Needs to mind his manners.
