Scarlet and Gray and a lot of playable races

The local driving colony has improved with Tony Hall joining the fray, and tonight it is as good as it has been all year. Palone, Wilder, Page, a pair of Nobles, Paver, and a Dickie Stillings sightingt!! Watch the board-- some of the three-year-olds are getting a bit tired, at least appear to be, and may be overbet favorites. Ayers is doing picks, I am doing some interviews and media stuff, so I WILL be around. Good luck.

Race 1: 5 My D Sammy- No Sing Jesse Sing here and he will be a value play; 3 Jesse Fect- Solid with T Hall in the bike; 2 Buckeye Man- Has been solid all year & Chip chose over ML fave.

Race 2: 4 Wolf Creek Ted- Has leveled a bit of late, but gets the call here; 3 Oh No It’s Steveo- Our entire TV dept. will have a deuce on him and he figures with Palone and a flat mile; 2 Bookem- Always does work, needs to do a bit more.

Race 3: 5 Tom’s Ok Lady- Should easily defend the title; 1 That Fly’n Angel- Has ability & a 1st time Charlino angle from rail; 2 B V’s Sister- On paper she is 2nd best, but they race for a reason.

Race 4: 3 Timewell- Moves up off an eye-popping effort in local debut; 1 Yoo Hoo Bunny- Steck batting .400 and Grismore driving; 5 Sparks A Cracking- Moves up off a solid win with Hall; 2 Winter Cruise- Good closing effort last time, consider.

Race 5: 2 Christina Victory- Good tightener in last, appears easily best; Udontwantnunofthis- Moves up but is improving every start; 7 Yankee Coburn- Will be flying late for show money.

Race 6: 3 Master Begonia- Great form and should roll for Palone; 1 Dunkster- Freshened in a pattern that has worked before, looks for #4; 7 Rembrandt Spur- Wish he had drawn better.

Race 7: 3 Valentowner- No value here, but seems best; 6 Jaguar Jet- At the right price, I could easily switch my play; 5 Private Room- Has had success here before, but is 0-16 in 2010; 9 Stringtowner- Defending champ’s form is suspect, but he loves this racetrack.

Race 8: 5 Osborne’s Gypsy- Fresh & races off an awesome Q; 2 Don’t Blame Her- Racing well & should like 1/2-mile track; 8 Shell I Attack- Professional mare is hampered by the snowman.

Race 9: 3 Doc’s Yankee- Super consistent and may be a playable price; 4 Standing Tough- Two big miles since getting Lasix; 2 Sand Summerfield- Page chose over the #9, who I liked.

Race 10: 3 Jenna’s Dream- Moves up off a monster win; 5 Polo Joe- Done in by the trip last time, must use; 7 The Long Goodbye- If he can overcome a bad draw; 9 Laughing Is An Art- Not a lot of speed inside, by I have a hunch he is sitting on a big mile.

Race 11: 6 Sing Jesse Sing- What’s not to like? 7 Jailhouse Scorpion- Has settled down under Cox’s tutelage, post a ? 3 Rees’s Racer- Among the best all season, last break worries me.

Race 12: 3 Abs Speedy Hall- Sits at $449.50 per start, how lucky; 1 R Cowboy- Sugg chooses off, so Titus is stuck with Triple G; 5 This Sands Hot- Quality animal faces lesser than usual.

Race 13: 2 Western Outfitter- Looked like he’s finally healthy Monday, impressive; 4 Lis Deo- My favorite bloodline in the sport, scratch concerns; 9 Bad Man Hall- Solid contender w/Gris.

Race 14: 4 Whiteascanbe- First time Charlino angle gets him home in the nightcap; 9 Three New Dawns- Nice sophomore gets an easier spot; 2 Gordiesianartist- Arguably facing lesser here; 5 Little Gary Perry- Should be better with Noble in the bike.
