At least three of my initial top picks had drivers choose off, which tells you how valid my 'capping of this card was. Good luck. See you in the winners circle- not because I earn it, bu tbecause that's where the camereman will be.
Race 1: 1 Khasseem- When Clair calls on a catch-driver with the young ones, its money in the bank; When it’s Matt K, doubly so; 3 Looks Like Speed- Does work. But doesn’t sustain it; could improve; 7 Ms P M- Wollam calls on Stahl as PM faces softer but post an issue.
Race 2: 4 Speedy Jesse- Pretty good qually with Lasix, why not? 7 Son Of A Spur- Improved with the drop last time, a player; 3 Mario’s Zing- Gets Kakaley off the two-year layoff.
Race 3: 7 Sharp Action- Ultra-consistent and getting better; 9 Musical Dream- Improved with Lasix in last and could step up from 2nd tier; 1 Rompaway Zelda- Rail and a decent Q for Frank.
Race 4: 5 All That Glitters- Should shine tonight with Kurt in the bike; 1 Truarc Deal- No Deal from the snowman last two, could be a surpriser; 4 Wildawyn- Grinds out the checks every week; 9 Ms Cruzin On Top- Shows flashes of ability now and again.
Race 5: 7 Coming To The Call- Gets Matt off the barn change, post an issue; 1 Price Valley Davan- Impressed last week off the scratch; 3 Trained To Trot- Fractions won’t be as easy here.
Race 6: 2 Allamerican Magic- Gets Stahl and best draw in over a month; 5 Red Heads Star- Woke up in last, worth a try; 9 Dinn’s Ghost- Old gray guy does good work, but doesn’t always sustain. Same for the horse.
Race 7: 5 Sleepen N Memphis- Kakaley’s choice over 4/7/8 says it all; 4 Northern Shine- My original pick moves up with trainer in the bike; 2 C And M Flash- Has faced better, but finishing poorly, a chance; 3 Park’em Out Wendy- Stopped badly off fast fractions in last start.
Race 8: 5 Ilooklikerudy- Closed well first time with a tag in last out; 2 Victoryatlass- Well connected, but qualifier was bit soft; 1 Scorin’ Lavec- Shows speed in Q, but not when it counts.
Race 9: 9 Sunset Ball- Matt K chose over the #1, my original pick. Enough for me; 1 Beach Bunny- Improving and still a major player; 5 Doowrah’s Deal- Solid at 2, ‘09 debut tonight.
Race 10: 6 Covered Connection- Lukewarm call in balanced group; Trainer Flash has been hot; 9 Mcgwire- My choice until Matt K chose off him (and the 1/2/8); 2 The Swami- Consistent and well-traveled; 5 Eye Of The Dog- Stahl/Sherman always worthy of consideration.
Race 11: 6 Seaworthy- Tons of back class in a suspect group, plus Matt K; 4 Gimme Gimme Gimme- Inconsistent, but fits off his best; 1 Rose Run Idelle- McKirgan’s Rose Run choice.
Race 12: 2 Fantastic Fran- Drops below level of last win and four below level from two back, jogs; 1 Hillcrest Crystal- Stalking sort gets rail; 8 Jenna’s On Jodi- Good form, bad post.
Race 13: 4 Kyle Doodles- Was collared in last, may last this time; 5 Eel- Could slide through off a good qualifier; Anastasia Willie- Can he overcome the post, may look more like ‘Baron at half.
Race 14: 1 Ohio Star- Wyatt chooses off my first pick, so I go with him; 4 Panti-apartheid- Has faced much better, but may need a local start; 3 Swing Plane- Gets Kakaley for Josh; 7 Bad Boy Bunny-As consistent as the Cleveland Indians, could be anywhere with these.
