Recently, I spoke with the USTA's "Amateur Handicapper," blogger, Bill Eichenberger. He turned that interview into several blog entries on tthe USTA's website. I would be interested in your comments.

And now down to business:
Race 1: 2 Special Favor- Getting better with every start & still green; 4 Rubberband Man- Doing good work, gets Aaron, must sustain it; 5 Burning Sensation- In for a tag, so class relief helps.
Race 2: 9 Hawaiian Music Man- A bit flat in last from the 2nd tier, hana hou; 2 Come Along Fred- With this draw skims the pylons & gets a nice check; 3 Mary My King- Getting a bit better.
Race 3: 4 Electric Wizard- Miserable trip on the dropdown, another chance; 3 Bodandy Andy- Gets Lasix and best post in awhile; 1 Valiant Venture- Drops to the level of his last good effort.
Race 4: 6 Rich Cowboy- Gets Aaron and a lukewarm call in a competitive group; 4 Look Both Ways- Second start off the scratch, may bounce after big work in return; 1 Eagle Creek Beauty- Will be better from the rail; 2 Champagne Bliss- Has some gate speed, consider.
Race 5: 6 Seaworthy- Class relief, but recent form is suspect; 4 Conductors Timeout- Speed kills & this one should be on the point; 1 Lukenbak- Page chose over #5, who I thought figured.
Race 6: 9 Apprentice- Aaron chose the #4, but you know what I think about 1st time Charlino; 4 Bb Badlands- The major threat; 3 Kueken- Drops and gets Stahl, should be on ticket.
Race 7: 9 Up Front Hanover- Aaron’s choice may be a slight value as 2 & 3 will take play; 2 Hot Soup- Finally broke through with last week, major player; 3 Prepare To Attack- Figures in the race & on toteboard; 6 Heez Ruthless N- Class dropper could change this race’s complexion.
Race 8: 4 West Point Judy- Going forward after going 0-31 last year; 2 Web Charger- Ultra-consistent, but just doesn’t win; 6 Tsm Queen B T – Always does work, but post may be an issue based on last start.
Race 9: 2 Tropicante- Another chance after a costly break; 5 Lotsa Help- AE moves in in a big way; 4 Bookworm Hanover- Tends to be his own worst enemy, but could win by 10 if flat.
Race 10: 4 Dalcroft Toby- Has been solid recently with Dan C in the bike; 2 Bucky Can’t Caddy- Class dropper should contend; 3 Heart Racing- Back at the level of some solid efforts; 1 Constantinoble- Really liked him, but Aaron chose off in favor of the #3.
Race 11: 3 Kinnick- Easy win in local debut, beats these with a similar effort; 4 Noble Maximus- Consistently does work and post is decent; 1 Laughing Is An Art- Could be dangerous from the rail and has tons of back class.
Race 12: 1 Genesis Royalimage- As long as he trots around twice; 2 Touch Of Nay- Keeps finding a way to compete for Ryan Allen; 6 Willie N Blaze- Barn and driver change interest me.
Race 13: 3 Cruisin Sam- Gets Aaron but I am not wild about him; 4 Johhnyisajohnny- The Professor moves his barn to Patisapat; 2 red Heads Star- Hangs around, but rarely wins.
Race 14: 4 Pirate Image- Third back and finally a decent draw, consider; 5 Blue Rock Joe Stahl’s choice over the 5-2 ML choice, so why not? 6 Blarney Stone- First time Charlino and Dan may leave hard; 9 Tooter Lane- Needs to be more forward early from the 2nd tier
