S-A-TUR-DAY, Hey, S-A-TUR-DAY, Hey,

A break-- the regular season ended for my Lady Lions Tuesday with a great win (10-3-3 final record, ranked #1 in D2 for Greater Cleveland and 15th in the state) and we have pretty easy 1st and 2nd round state tournament matches. That means I can really put some time into the cards the next few days. I see a lot of playable races here and will be on the air. Aaron Merriman remains a wild card. How sharp wil he (can he) be? He is a competitor, you know he will give effort. But...
Anyhow, good luck and we will see you in the winners circle:

Race 1: Samsawinner- An absolute eye-opener in last effort; 1 This Sands Hot- Solid, classy performer and so is the horse; 6 Master Wheels- Shows one bad line in his last thousand or so.

Race 2: 7 Painted Speed- Risky from out here, but Stahl chose over #1 & #4; 2 Moreland Flash- Very game effort last week; 6 Delivered Rules- Will also be hampered by post, but solid.

Race 3: 1 Buckeye Jessie-Always hangs around, may break through here; 3 Gr Dreams Rachel- Showing improvement; 6 Pray To Me- Another chance, but he was unwilling last time.

Race 4: 4 Pan Au Chocolat- Hung on after a very tough trip, repeats; 3 Winbak Len- Bets line in a while for this disappointer; 2 Standin On A Beach- Gets Aaron, who may or may not be sharp. Lex horses often need a local start; 5 The Big Wazzoo- Gets Charlino, that makes him a player.

Race 5: 6 Over Spurred- Racing exceptionally well and hard not to pick; 1 R Cowboy- Will Aaron be a bit sore on 2nd night back? 4 Presto Pegasus- Should be better after a 1st local start.

Race 6: 4 Whispers Art- Did moderate work against moderately better; 9 Pacificam- Not the best draw, but I like the rive change; 5 Take The Long Way- Faces better after a dominant win.

Race 7: 4 Buttercup Bob- Was a bit overmatched in this class previously, but gets Dan C; 2 Mr Kite- Moves up in good form and will get an aggressive trip here; 3 Chocolate Crush- Versatile and may handle the jump up; 8 Northmedo Cruiser- May be the best, but the snowman hinders.

Race 8: 2 Sam’s Delight- May have found his best level; 1 Magnificent Gift- Tactical speed, but Dan chose off; 3 Saltea’s Sanjay- Better post than in his barn debut, Dan also chose off.

Race 9: 5 Dunkster- Vulnerable, but even in current form he looks 5 lengths the best with his best; 4 Rose Run Ichabod- Can follow the red horse’s cover; 9 Fly Emily Fly- Better than she looks on paper. Don’t dismiss.

Race 10: 9 Sharp Shuttle- Just keeps rolling and is proven from off the pace; 3 Left’em Standing- Impressive at fairs, but facing tougher here; 4 Cruise On Osborne- Will be overbet and #3 has beaten him a few times; 5 He’s All Art- Just don’t picture him winning.

Race 11: 3 Polo Joe- Raced well with a miserable draw in last; 8 Rapid Pursuit- Good, but not good enough to overcome the snowman; 5 Auto Pilot- Raced well off the claim, consider.

Race 12: 1 Doowrah’s Deal- Starts a new win streak tonight; 3 Supreme Ruler- Would like him better with Charlino, but he fits; 2 Sailors Sky- Newcomer is off a sick scratch, could ne anything.

Race 13: 2 Shackleton Hanover- How long will the Ungashick era last? 1 Elegance N Luck- Showed elegance, got no luck in last; 6 Ideal Ticket- Won 2 straight in class, this group’s tough.

Race 14: 4 Stand Tall Mcgraw- Overdue; 2 Gramma’s Guy- Should fit pretty well with these; 9 Red Heads Star- Moves up off an impressive win; 1 I’ve Got Life- Classy old horse, but Ryan choosing off changed my ticket, not that Deaton’s a slouch.
