I know, I know, that's not the title of the song. But, with Friday being Christams Day, Northfield is closed, so the fillies and mares race on Wednesday instead. At ypical Friday card, but there could be some value-- how will some of them race with two days less rest. Watching warmups and post parades (if our drivers can actually just once parade as they are supposed to) will be critical to success. Good Luck! I will post Saturday and Monday picks on Thursday afternoon, and then picks will go on hiatus for about a week as I take my use it or lose it vacation days.
Best wished for a joyous holiday and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
-Giss-
Race 1: 5 Zim And Torre- Has raced better for Page and is overdue; 4 Sadie Falcon- Usually does work, but must sustain it; 8 Bigaffairintown- Closed a bit in last but draws worse here.
Race 2: 3 Oceana Hanover- Drops to level where she can compete- especially against all gals; 4 Tori’s Angel- Has leveled lately, but is pretty solid; 6 Chili Chonga- 0 ‘fer gets Stahl in the bike.
Race 3: 1 Blueridge Empress- Best post draw in ages may be enough here; 2 Simply Don’t- Simply might from the two hole; 5 Tucson Lace- Rarely wins but has been contending lately.
Race 4: 7 Up Front Lady Gray- Class relief and a first time tag, consider; 3 Triple Fronts- Versatile and racing well right now; 5 Ferris Wheel- Another sharp one at this level; 1 Blueridge Flirting- A bit disappointing last time, but a definite contender from the rail with Page.
Race 5: 5 French Worker- Has been on the verge of breaking through forever; 2 Knight Toy- Very green and could be anything stepping up; 3 Radar Love- Tough trips lately, another chance.
Race 6: 1 Spirit Within- Always hanging around, perhaps a win here; 3 Camphor Hanover- Mild bid off a long layoff, will be overbet; 9 Halvah Heaven- Should get a good trip in this one.
Race 7: 3 Swift Samantha- Won’t stall with Stahl tonight; 1 Doowrah Silver- Always better when she draws well; 9 Iamgonnabeachyou- Better with nose on gate so she can leave; 2 Goldies Girl- No chance in last from the snowman, maybe here.
Race 8: 4 Colossal Sahbra- Keeps rolling along when she draws well; 7 Shelbys Muneymaker- Gets class drop despite decent form; 1 Cosmetician- Heating up and could be involved from rail.
Race 9: 7 Icu Roller- If she can avoid 3-deep at the half, she should roll; 3 Electric Highlight- Form is leveling, but always a factor for $4k; 5 Odessa Angus- Loves this racetrack, a factor.
Race 10: 1 Miss Big Time- 56.4 in NW$200PS, holy cow! So what if she moves up? 2 Polo Aub- Beat these last time and is improving; 9 Hot Lips Rn- Shows decently at this level; 7 Parking Place- Moves up off a dominating win, but post is an issue.
Race 11: 6 I AM Samsational- Has been pretty good and I don’t see anything else that’s sharp; 1 My Sweet Lorelei- Has been very consistent and may trip out; 2 Jl’s Nite Music- Races well when she draws well. She does and she should.
Race 12: 1 Weekie Wachie- A different mare on the engine, handles move up; 3 Miss Marfa- Faced better in last & contended; 5 Alhambra Bokay- Always tries, trips have been tough.
Race 13: 1 Fantastic Fran- In superior form and draws the rail; 2 Eternal N- Does work now and then, especially when drawing inside; 6 Game Portia- Won with Russ last time, a chance.
Race 14: 9 I Be Strollin- 5-time winner’s recent form is suspect, but who else? 1 Quenelle Hanover- Should be better from the rail; 5 Silvercreekcantina- Needed her last and drops; 3 Katie’s Valentine- This is her level and she should be on the ticket.
