Saturday Night- WLECOME ORANGE BOOSTERS!

For those who do not know, I am the Girls Soccer coach at Orange High School and the Boosters are holding their annual fundraiser at the track Saturday 4/9. Supposed to be a nice night- maybe an isolated shower. Looking forward to some time with my friends from the Boosters and some apron time with a good cigar and my friends from Northfield Park. See you Saturday.

Analysis

Race 8: 5)Bodandy Andy is super sharp and I just don't see anyone better. Chalk, yes, but the single is important later.
Race 9: 2)Scoozi and 5) J D's Turismo get big time class relief, but 1)Shackleton Hanover is on another one of his roles. Gotta use all three and I would love 9-2 on the #1.
Race 10: Who do you pitch and why? You can't...this is basically an open pace. Hit the all button and hope the board is spread out.
Race 11: I would like to go deeper than just 1)Cruise On Osborne and 5)Doctor Gates, but don't have the bankroll for it. There are other threats, but I will feel pretty good if I am live coming into this one. Good Luck.

Here are the race by race picks:
Race 1: 1 Valley Of Vice- The rail gives him the call in a very competitive group; 3 Extravagant Manner- benefits from his bets draw in months; 5 Corly’s Finale- Needs a trip, but can add value here.

Race 2: 4 R Cowboy- Third start back and looks for third win back; 2 Pathway Dot Com- I like this one inside with Grismore; 1 Master Wheels- Seems to be rolling back into form.

Race 3: 2 Samovar Hanover- Class dropper gets Charlino, which might be enough; 3 Tooter Lane- Fastest of the NW1L8 pacers; 5 Lt Commander- Raced well from snowman dropping down to this class.

Race 4: 2 Delivered Rules- Needed that last start & gets my call even though Ryan chose off; 8 Ar Ed- Always does work, but this group is tough to beat from out there, even if they did open it up for him; 5 Fueled n Waiting- Impressive win against lesser in last; 1 Gordieisanartist- Inconsistent, but rail helps.

Race 5: 4 Cruisinfullthrottle- Starting to get it all back together; 3 Rocco’s Revenge- Moves up despite the ETE, will take more pressure late here; 1 Sleek Fish- Most consistent of these gets the rail.

Race 6: 3 Tug River Claude- Has been competitive with far better; 6 Ideal Ticket- Charlino chose over #2/7, should add value; 2 Whispers Art- Always does work and is well-placed here.

Race 7: 1 Get And Gone- This is an unimpressive group for the class and he may surprise; 5 The Fonz- Starting to wake up and should contend; 2 Next Idol- was a bit flat moving up here, another chance; 3 Lincoln N- A bit inconsistent, but will get an aggressive trip.

Race 8: 5 Bodandy Andy- Draws best of the higher-tagged animals; 6 Seton Hall- faced late-closers at ‘Toga; 4 Hummer N- Faced better at Lebanon, ignore at your own risk.

Race 9: 1 Shackleton Hanover- Hotter than a pot of Texas chili right now; 2 Scoozi- Did moderate work against far better, class drop helps; 5 J D’s Turismo- Another class dropper who figures here.

Race 10: 2 Moreland Flash- Returns inside, where he does his best racing; 3 Osborne’s Yankee- racing very well and still improving; 4 Red White And Crue- Has been unbeatable for Knipper; 1 Imperious- Has been solid off some very good trips, another in store tonight.

Race 11: 1 Cruise On Osborne- Should have no trouble getting the top this time; 5 Doctor Gates- Won last and could go Gonzo on us at any time; 2 Mainline Hall- Racing well and should improve from here.

Race 12: 1 Sun Set Acres Troy- Charlino’s choice over the #5 has been facing better, usually; 5 Dd Cam Ram- Could turn the tables, but I’ll go as Dan goes; 7 Gold Fever- Exceptional form; awful post.

Race 13: 3 Wildridge Star- NW1L8 gets his best post in ages; 2 Fancy Schmansy- Had post excuse last time, but has always been inconsistent; 4 Slade Gram- Has some back class and fits with his best; 6 Jack Maverick- Eligible at time of entry and very tempted to put him higher on the ticket…and still might.
