Monday maybes

I'll be here live and may be changing my mind... a lot...after warmups. Watch them with me and share a cigar if you like.

Race 1: 3 Abc Flower- Has been competitive on the PA B Fair circuit and gets Deaton; 2 Carry In The Wood- A handy breaker, but needs to stop breaking; 4 Golden Slippers- 50% on the board, can’t dismiss, but ML favoritism?

Race 2: 4 Rubberband Man- Maybe the trip to Shelbyville, IN, or a fresh set of hands will wake him up; 3 Fix Valley Lingo- Hangs around, but 0-36 life; 9 Whitewater- Always gets checks.

Race 3: 1 Oneforthemaster- Classy trotter gets a barn change and class drop; 2 Charming Comer- Consistent, but don’t see him beating the choice; 5 Honorable Guy- Can contend off his best, but consistency is the issue these days.

Race 4: 6 Swing Plane- Appears the best in here; 7 Laag Ness Monster- Not that effective from outside, but gets a soft group; 4 Hope To Finish- Third start back, sort of; 1 Coin Of The Realm- Dan needs to be forward early.

Race 5: 1 Petrified Chip- One of three they opened the class for, gets E.D. and the rail; 9 Bigmacatac- Opened it for him, but 2nd tier an issue; 4 Vrahos Again- The last of three who get in with the change, but Deaton chose off.

Race 6: 4 Jenabell- Nice one with little baggage; 2 Heza Native Winner- Tough trip in local debut, gets E.D., which helps; 9 Dragoninthekash- 3rd back and a fresh set of hands.

Race 7: 9 Ellie Deer- Inconsistent, but still learning; 1 Dashin Daniel- Tough first local start, another chance with the trainer driving this time; 6 Big Guy Sue- Moves up in superior form; does big work; 5 Splish Flash- On paper appears to be facing softer here.

Race 8: 6 Crown Time Big Liz- Consistent and a slight nod; 4 Mario’s Schatzie- Freshened for 43 months and looks sharp; 3 Lucky For Us- Has contended with better, may surprise.

Race 9: 5 Bad Boy Bunny- It just seems like I’m picking Elliott in every race; 2 City Dragon- Best post draw in ages, but gets his 6th different driver in 7 starts; 6 Stanley Special- Why not?

Race 10: 4 Oneforthepresident- Super sharp and should win; 2 Eye Of The Dog- Racing well right now; 5 Polo Joe- Looks like the For Sale sign is out. From $8S to $5S to $3S? Danger!; 7 Bubontherun- Post a concern, but racing well.

Race 11: 1 He’s Fulla Chip- First time tag and has faced far better; 7 So Fly- Usually does work; 9 SJ’s War Pony- Appears reinvigorated from his PA Fair tour.

Race 12: 5 Brynee’s Lot N- Gets class relief off a pretty good effort; 1 Night Trouble- Can hang around from the rail; 2 Currently Flying- Best post in months, consider.

Race 13: 9 Shady Sequel- A full bro to millionaire Jug champ Shady Character, could win this on that alone; 6 Tooter Lane- Improved with Live-Wyers in the bike last time; 3 That’s Textbook- Inconsistent, but will be hard driven by E.D.; 1 Royal Tattler- Must use the rail horse at this class and he gets J.D.
