Not so good Wednesday-- two winners- $7.20. Going with some value tonight. And looking forward to honoring a classy old horse, Uphill Battle, who faced mandatory retirement January 1, in the winners circle after the Open Pace. He will also lead the post parade for that race. Good luck!
Race 1: 5 Paint Wheel- Drivers chose off the other top ML picks, go with Aaron’s choice; 2 Karrydale Charm- Sugg chose the #9 instead, but she should contend; 7 Fire Me- Charlino chose this one over Blueridge Empress, my initial pick?!? Okay, Dan, I’ll ride with you on this one.
Race 2: 2 Looks Like Danny- Current form is awful but has fast wins here in the past; 9 Canaco Orville- Needs to work out a trip, consider; 7 Musical Dream- Big effort 1st time with these in last.
Race 3: 2 The Long Goodbye- Finally breaks through tonight; 4 Equalize- Class animal got my initial call, but Aaron chose off; 1 Depravedhedonist- Racing for 4th week in a row & gets the rail.
Race 4: 9 Townline Powerful- In good form and last race was best in awhile; 1 Heez Ruthless N- Beast these last time from the 2nd tier; 2 Road Storm- Post hurt in last, should contend; 4 Toronado Mindale- Very consistent and should be Koching tonight.
Race 5: 9 Awsome Andrea- Gonna ride the Awsome wave again; 6 Dummy Jones- Very sharp, but unproven at this level; 1 Striking Lavec- Stung in the opening panel last time, maybe again.
Race 6: 3 Self Righteous- Class dropper moves into a hot barn and should roll; 1 Freedom Hall- Moves up off a good win and draws well; 9 Baba S- Will find a way to get into this one.
Race 7: 4 Expresso Forte- Best draw in ages & may reward backers with a double-digit return; 3 Chang Dynasty- Has had excuses & Aaron chose over 1 & 2, who figured; 5 Mattonthechooch- Draws better, gets Charlino, consider; 2 Artistic Dreamer- Good draw, but no value.
Race 8: 3 Tessallation- Gets the call in a well-matched field; 5 Fox Valley Flyby- Extra time off- a freshening or an issue? 9 Winbak Hotshot- Can beat these even from 2nd tier, but trip will stink.
Race 9: 1 Yankee Coburn- 12/12 race tells you all you need to know; 9 Giulio- Not wild about the likely face from the 2nd tier; 6 Iknowwhatboyslike- Gets Stahl back with a bit better draw.
Race 10: 1 Dontgetintheway- Remarkable qualifier says this one is ready at first asking; 2 Heres Hooter- Has been racing and racing well; Scootin Higher- His Q is better than it looks at first, his post isn’t; 7 Uncle Josh- Usually does pretty good work, but needs a trip from out here.
Race 11: 7 Extreme Makeover- Not sure we have seen this mare’s best yet, not unbeatable, but the best; 6 Master Wheels- Monster trip last time says he is sharp; 4 Son Of A Spur- Another Bell-ringer that is racing exceptionally well.
Race 12: 1 Humble Adoration- Has done good work & should trip out tonight; 7 Painted Speed- Has done effective work from outside before; 2 Pronger- The class, but coming off a long layoff.
Race 13: 5 Omar Pheeny- Woke up in last and wins with similar effort; 1 Andy’s Z Tam- Class relief, but has had issues with this track; 3 Rocco’s Revenge- Should be much better, but…
Race 14: 7 Vince The Man- Big Q, may be ready at first asking, but won’t be 8-1; 3 Calculated Risk- Not gonna drop him off one bad start; 5 Lakeside AL N- Drops to the level of his last win & has some back class; 1 Nukes Fortunateson- Gets the rail & has shown he can compete here.
