I am in a winners slump--lots of exacta and tri boxes, lots of value picks second, but we need to find the winners circle. Perhaps, as Rod Stewart said, Tonight's the night. I'm off- be back on TV Saturday. Good luck.
Race 1: 2 Miss Big Time- Miss big barn change; 1st time Ehrhardt, go cash; 4 Lady Louise- A third back angle, green and could step up; 8 Tucson Lace- Another barn changer, but she needs to overcome the snowman.
Race 2: 3 Corleone’s Dream- Beat herself in last, but usually races well with good draw; 6 Mar-bear-Decent local debut & may have more; 4 Miss Debron- Racing well for Perrin the younger.
Race 3: 1 Luv The Market- Moves back up but draws well and gets Page; 4 Eternal N- Lost to the trip & to the post in her last two, sharp; 5 Blueridge Flirting- Has been 2nd three in a row, fits
Race 4: 4 Swift Samantha- Moves up off a monster mile; 1 I’m Forever Deer- Her win was also impressive, but five lengths slower than #4’s; 6 Touch Of Ty- Maybe class drop wakes her up (or maybe she doesn’t like this surface); 5 No Ordinary Smile- 3rd back and can contend for Stahl.
Race 5: 3 Sweet Ashtin- No chance in two straight from the snowman, worth a flyer here; 1 Alhambra Bokay- disappointed in last, another try; 7 Mindy Love Brown- Break hurt (duh).
Race 6: 6 Electric Highlight – Wins 1 of 4 career, 1 of 3 last two years and is in form; 3 P C’s Exotica- Solid, but no breakthrough locally; 5 Gram Of Gold- Always hangs around, on ticket.
Race 7: 6 She’s So- Lukewarm form, but she’s in a lukewarm group and so gets a lukewarm call; 4 Camtowns Jewel- Beat similar last time; 2 Polo Aub- Which one shows up, the 10/20 versiopn or the 11/6 model? 1 Scent Of Magic- Gets Page and the rail, should wrap super (at least).
Race 8: 4 Life Uptown- 12 wins in ‘09 --- and she’s a granddaughter of Courageous Lady; 2 Jl’s Nite Music- Was sharp until last week’s flat effort; 9 Tattler’s Rose- Ultra consistent, 3rd again.
Race 9: 2 Dynastar- Racing as well as she has in years, the call; 1 Emma Rose Ben- Tough trip last time, but raced well; 3 Miss Marfa- No Mephisto Waltz tonight, could be better than 3rd.
Race 10: 5 Little Lu Lu- Fresh horse gets Page in a soft group; 3 Belladonna Cam- Last efforts have been poor, but drops; 6 Quenelle Hanover- Fits, but is too inconsistent to use any higher; 7 Spirit Within- Was used hard in qualifier, something you rarely see, look for a big brush.
Race 11: 2 Arizona Forever- Good win off the layoff, a Farrington Formula move by Maletz? 6 Ellie Deer- Has turned it around since Swartz started driving; 4 Autumn’s Katy K- Improving.
Race 12: 1 Passing Lane Penny- Should get a great trip from this post; 2 Shell I Attack- Has been facing better and loves this track; 5 Mephisto Waltz- Soph filly continues to impress me.
Race 13: 4 Winning Yankee- Down in class; 3 Red Hott Alert- Consistent with these; 1 Classy Sarah- Gets trainer change.
Race 14: 6 Blu Meadow Tara- May need start, but had success on half before; 4 Ferris Wheel- Solid against similar in local return; 2 Reba’s Finale- Must use in tri & super, super consistent; 8 Crusin For Cash- Wildly inconsistent and a horrible post, but it’s a Steve Carter horse.
