Back in town- Here's your Wednesday

Years ago, when I did standup, I did a lot of amusement park material. One joke went something like this- I love amusement parks, but I don't like to be spun around or turned upside down. If you are gonna put me on a ride like that, I am gonna have three or four beers and eat a couple of those really greasy sausage sandwiches first. 'Cause if I'm not gonna have a good time on that ride, neither is anybody else.
So, at Kings Island with the soccer team Saturday, I see they have a Skyline Chili Stand right next to The Scrambler. What's the protocol there?

Pick 4 Guarantee of $10K on races 8-11, with just 14% takeout. No time for analysis, but my play is 123/1569/67/13=$48

Here is the whole card. Good luck!

Race 1: 2 Super Charmer- Gets a catch driver and a pretty hot one at that; 7 Jh Action- Everybody wants a piece of the action, sweet; 1 Little Lee- Has been better with Lasix and now he gets the rail.

Race 2: 5 Mr Sam- NW1L8 & Swartz picked over #1; 2 Lindy Five Hundred- Good qualifier & tons of back class, but he must have a hole somewhere, no value; 4 Red Radar Gun- Just go for the NW1L8 trifecta.

Race 3: 4 Upfront Jesse- Gets class relief below the level of his last win 2 back; 3 Cummingsandgoings- Was super sharp here before departing for WV; 8 Irwin- Really like this horse, really hate his post.

Race 4: 2 Stormy Nabor- Line from post eight in last is better than it looks, I think; 3 Wolf Creek Dasher- Good effort in her last start; 4 Thessaly- Fried by the trip last time, another chance; 1 Two Step Kash- Form is not impressive, but the rail may help her.

Race 5: 7 Lost Photo- Shocked these last time, gets McKirgan again and draws better; 2 Athlete In Action- Qualified well and gets huge class dip; 1 Pray To Me- A bit inconsistent, but I like her from the rail.

Race 6: 1 Champagne Bliss- 3rd back & the rail make him a contender; 3 Lenny Bromac N- They opened up the class for him; 2 Crown Heights- Fair lines are nice, but the Raceway win is the reason I’ll use him.

Race 7: 9 Action Full Hall- Tough trip last time, I’m giving him a solid chance with these; 2 Tkr’s Metro Specs- Was also facing better at Mea5/8; 4 Cause To Smile- Ever driven at Jefferson? Ignore the break; 7 Desired Entry- Third straight seven-hole, but just keeps rolling along.

Race 8: 3 Auto Pilot- Way overdue and current form says he’s is ready; 2 Spidermonkey- Best draw in ages, dismiss at your own risk; 1 Liftoff Bayama- Has drawn even worse than the monkey and gets the rail.

Race 9: 9 Australian Stock- Took pressure last time, may be dragged along here; 1 S F Spiderman- Another chance after a flat effort from outside; 5 Legacy Chip- The qualifier was an eye opener, will he trot?

Race 10: 7 Epes- Professional racehorse has faced better and can overcome the bad post; 6 Museum Piece- Always does work, not always at the right time; 3 Zakman- Showed a bit last time and draws better; 5 Heez Ruthless N- Always hangs around, but don’t see him much higher on this ticket.

Race 11: 3 Lucca’s Revenge- Raced well off the claim & will be on the point; 1 One Day Wonder- Always competes and should get a dream trip; 7 Altesse- In exceptional form if he can overcome the bad draw.

Race 12: 5 Robin Dontget- Just seems faster than these on paper; 4 Sparkle Tina- Best of the maidens, imo, and gets Stahl; 9 Roman Knows Best- Another NW$150, he should get covered up here.

Race 13: 1 Christmas Photo K- Rail gets him home for Swartz and Choppy; 5 Shackleton Hanover- Showed signs of waking up for Beau in last; 3 Gina Marie P- Has been highly disappointing lately; 2 Mr Kite- Major player from the inside.
