Friday Fillies and Mares

The Haiti challenge continues. I am a huge fan of blogger and pro-b-baller Paul Shirley but his recent Haiti blog has gotten him in a bit of hot water. Unfairly, if you ask me. I find this piece to be well-written and thoughtful, although I disagree with some of it. Check it out at http://www.flipcollective.com/2010/01/26/if-you-rebuild-it-they-will-come-by-paul-shirley/

EDIT- $4k PLUS Pick 4 Carryover Frdiay. I am playing it.  19/269/1235/24= $48 and a small ticket 9/269/25/24- $12


Race 1: 5 Sadie Falcon- Has at least done work in her last several starts; 6 Silly N Sassy- Best draw in 2K10, which doesn’t say much; 4 Spider Girl- Sugg-cessful with a fresh set of hands?

Race 2: 3 Zim And Torre- Looking for an angle, not finding one, she gets my call; 5 Rinestone Coddie- Good 2 back, not so much last time; 8 Carrie The Idol- Nice close in last, post an issue.
Race 3: 1 Susanna Coe- Always does work & will be better 2nd back off sickness; 9 Excellent Caviar- Fits the class well; 4 Mar-bear- May need a start or two, but can contend with her best.

Race 4: 1 Belladonna Cam- 3rd back, the Sugg choice and best post in ages; 9 Simply Don’t- Needs a trip; 2 Pbk Redriver Cammi- Will get an aggressive trip from E.D., but Kurt chose off; 4 Expensive Bay- Had done decent work in three of last four, that is consistency at this level.

Race 5: 5 Miss Peabody’s Hat- Starting to look like the good race mare she once was; 3 Classy Sarah- Almost always contends, needs to do a bit more; 2 Friendly Kathy- Solid win in last.

Race 6: 1 Cimarron Strip- Moves up off a monster win, but it might not be enough; 4 Medoland Kendall- Not that sharp, but still figures here; 2 Imagine Freedom- Must finish stronger.

Race 7: 3 Fun For Eva Mo- A slight edge with the good draw; 4 Eww That Smell- The main threat faces tougher than she is used to, but all girls, at least; 7 Miss Big Time- Let’s see if Chris can help her turn the Page; 2 Dappers Flash- Racing well, but needs a good trip from Wyatt.

Race 8: 9 Colossal Sahbra- Looks to be alive for five; 1 Jimi’s Little Wing- Racing well but faces a bearcat who destroyed her 12/11; 2 Eternal N- Last race is a red flag, otherwise ok.

Race 9: 2 Lanes Chatty Girl- Hot barn, good post, always does work, a winner; 9 Sara’s Lil Sis- Consistent, but not winning of late; 6 Shelby’s Muneymaker- Moves up off the claim, but still fits.

Race 10: 5 Polo Aub- Drops to a level where she has been highly effective; 2 Winsmith Rachel- Improving since moving into John G’s barn; 3 Iamgonnabeachyou- Inconsistent these days, but fits with her best; 1 Blue Time Ice Lady- Freshened or stale date? My kingdom for a 30-day rule.

Race 11: 2 Redmeansgo- Beat from a bad post in last, draws well here; 4 Towner’s Big Sadie- Creeps back up off a very big mile, but no Dan C. tonight; 1 Honey Creek Abby- From the rail.

Race 12: 3 Passing Lane Penny- Below the level of last win & has faced some very good ones; 6 Mephisto Waltz- Not as effective from out here, but a player; 9 Drop Of Nutmeg- Up in class but was huge for Aaron last time.

Race 13: 1 Flyin’ Away- No chance from the snowman, consider her here; 5 Surf Song- Shows competitive lines in this class; 6 Alluring Bunny- Faces tougher, but may work out a trip.

Race 14: 9 Doni’s Bunny- Razor sharp of late, 2nd tier just a minor worry; 5 Smileifyoucam- Races well for Aaron and can contend; 2 Blueridge Flirting- Consistent, but needs to do a bit more; 3 Race On Wonder- Class dropper gets best post in two months and a 3rd back angle.
