Handicappers CornerÂ
Shooting for our 4th straight winning recommended pick 3 part wheel of the day with prior returns of 5 to 1, 3 to 1, and 8-5 on our investments
Â
6th race pick 3 part-wheel  2, 4, 5 ,7 with 1, 4 with 1, 2, 3, 5, 6  40 bets
race 1Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
2 Dee Dee's flight  strong rider switch to M Garcia......solid fig in last at today's distance.......decent chance to be loose with a jock who has had a good year riding on or near the lead in route races in 2010Â
3 Champagneandlilies  2 solid sprint races under her belt and now we switch to the meet's leading rider for her 1st route race....decent shot to be chasing the lead in good position
5 Skylights  Sadler closer will be a big factor late especially if the 3 horse pressures the 2 horse more than I believe she will
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
1 Closing Steps  monster pace in a route grass race in her last was quite the wake up....works are better than ever since....1 for 1 at today's distance and it was in her only SA race on the AW
6 Slew Of Candy one step at a time up the improvement ladder......no reason to believe this girl can't continue the trend
3 Classy Attraction  faced quite a bit better in last so beaten by 7 is OK......hard trying horse has fired at least somewhat in all 8 lifetime endeavors on the AW
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
4 Ministers Power  solid improvement on the AW in his last two races at GG and now back to the turf where he is the only proven grass winner in the field...also working great...sharp
9 Good Brother  claimed in impressive debut run at Crc in early Jan.....has trained well since for his new barn....bred well enough to handle the lawn
6 Good Turn  very steady performer firing in all 5 lifetime starts.....so so grass breeding
1 Unusual Encounter  post hurts but he is proven on the sod and can put in a close in a field that may produce a decent early pace
    Â
race 4   average clarity
1 Kaylie's Joy  improved in latest.....caught wide with pace....previous was rathorsolid as well....same effort with a clean trip would make her difficult to beat
3 Vision Of Danymac  owns some bad trip efforts at Tup in MSW affairs over the last few years.....training at GG and the barn elects to ship on down strongly suggests the horse is ready for her 1st start outside of Bluegrass Country
4 Suances Rio  debut run 11 months ago fits fine for today's bottom level of maiden claiming.....works seem to suggest this gal is ready fresh off of the bench
Â
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
6 Bullfighter  laid up for 2 months but training like Baff means business with very sharp drills for this level of racing...especially like seeing a bullet drill just 3 days go
4 Bullybullybully  best set of drills for a layoff runner from the Mulhall barn in some time...sure seems ready to roll
1 Uncle Don  on the right end of the learning curve...exits a key race where 2nd and 3rd place came back to win their next out and this gelding beat them by 6 1/2 furlongs
3 Proud Hillbilly  rider/trainer team have hit the board the 7 times they have teamed up together....closer gets plenty of pace to fire into
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
5 Dani Strikes  green on the run-up and then ran wide in her MSW debut last....Carava is much better 2nd time out of the box so I expect this filly to settle down and run a more professional race todayÂ
4 Chase The Fever  5 year old mare (versus a bunch of babies) has trained super over the years but has had to go on the shelf a couple of times...training sharply well once again and finally gets to race
2 MuberryLane  impressive tightly spaced training finishing off with a bullet gate work says go go go in MSW debut...barn has been firing lately
7 Tiz A Bud Girl  works seem good enough to consider somewhat dangerous in her MSW debut run....Salder has had a great past year with 1sters
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
1 Good Measure   impressive in all three lifetime races and looks like the front end is his once again...rated kindly in wire to wire win last....basically with a hand ride across the finish wire
 4 Never  only lifetime race at today's 1 mile distance was an impressive 3 1/2 length win...runs best off pace and I believe that is why Baffert is taking the blinkers off
5 Self Made Man  consistent sort is 7 out of 9 "place" on the AW...works say he's probably ready for his return to the race wars
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
3 Money Lover  best set of drills for a Kruljac 1ster in a long time....very reliable trainer when he shows good works
1 Sibersky  found lots of trouble in debut including sitting too far back in a paceless race.....can be a ton late here if settles done with that learning experience under his belt
5 Ms Treasure Hunt  training as if well prepared to be ready to roll in her MSW debut
2 Miss Peanut  training like a much improved animal after 2 dull starts and a long layoff......did flash some speed last Summer...expecting this one to be up close early...big price
6 Santina  also training well enough to be considered dangerous in her debut into the racing world
