Terrible Twos (day)

I take no pride in this one, gang. At least we have some Charlino angles and the return of Elliot Deaton. Good luck.

Race 1: 4 Lady Of The Future- Trainforthefuture pacer has speed and should graduate tonight; 3 Mcarty- Should get yet another good trip; Hobies Ascooten- Show streak was broken with tough trip last time.

Race 2: 1 Fox Avenue Cy- Needs to mind his manners, but fits well here; 2 Advowson- Ground out a good closing effort in last; 7 Ps Paulie’s Orphan- Inconsistent, but very green & improving.

Race 3: 9 Airt Louie- 1st time Charlino and one of two horses with a decent last line; 5 Freedom Hall- Fresh horse angle and some class relief, may need a start; 3 Udontwantnunofthis- 8-0-0-1, $577 in 2010 means he seems pretty aptly named.

Race 4: 5 Scoot To The Top- Dominated these last time to get the ETE call; 4 Swift Samantha- Always does good work, needs to trip out to beat the top pick; 2 Clarksville Jazz- No chance on the drop with that draw; 1 Back Home Again- Best draw in awhile and usually closes a bit.

Race 5: 3 Done It All- Drops to the level of her last win, the call even with Robin choosing off; 2 Come Along Fred- Needs to so more work; 1 Red Radar Gun- Has a chance from the rail.

Race 6: 5 Nf Wind Chimes- Dominated these last time to get the ETE call, sound familiar? 2 Sassy Tempest- Good effort to graduate, draws better here as another ETE; 1 Kate’s Rocket- Gets Deaton in local debut and may be anything despite not making a nickel last five.

Race 7: 4 Heez Ruthless N- Classy old horse gets the hottest driver in the country; 3 Fancy Schmansy- Woke up a bit in last and has some class; 9 Sky Strikes- Very consistent right now, must use; 2 Exceptional Toy- Has been anything but exceptional lately, but can wrap the super.

Race 8: 5 Krissy K- John, read my lips: Get the front and improve your position from there; 1 Rose Run Freddie- Will be better with his nose on the gate; 6 Littlebitofhoney- K. Edwards/JD combo has had some success.

Race 9: 4 Seaworthy- Should be Sugg-cessful off recent efforts; 9 Diehl’s Deal- Gets Deaton, who has had success with him- nearly put him on top; 1 Fortune King- Shows from the rail.

Race 10: 5 Big Guy- Slight call in a very nice group of young ‘uns; 1 Native Flower- Will get the aggressive trip she needs; 9 Pure Strength- Just has 2 good fair miles in a 1½ months -- a concern; 6 Sj’s Blissful Guy- Charlino showing loyalty when choosing off the #1 or more to it?

Race 11: 9 Cranberry’s Keeper- Racing well on Route 23 and now gets Charlino here; 4 Fiesty Kindof Luv- Positive form cycle, consider; 6 Trytopass Sam- Form may be leveling a bit.

Race 12: 2 Race Track Cruiser- Class dropper gets the call since I have to pick someone; 5 Western Hoss- Was facing better and got a rough trip last time; 4 Yana Returns- Awful form, but 1st time Charlino is worth a flyer.

Race 13: 5 Good Goalie- Drops to the level of his last win and get 1st time Charlino; 8 Goin Home Ray- Always does good work, but the snowman hampers; 1 Samcin- Was a winner here earlier this year in 55! 2 Tough Bow Min- Inconsistent, but can close, even if the form says no.
