Handicappers Corner
Â
TIME FOR A LITTLE PROMOTION.
 I REALLY LIKED FAIRPLEX LAST YEAR. RACES SURE WERE CLEAR CUT. PLENTY OF STRAIGHT $15 TO $25 EXACTA'S THAT WERE SELECTED. BULLRING RACING CAN BE VERY EXCITING. HECK, WE GET GOOD QUALITY FOR 11 MONTHS OF THE YEAR, NOTHING WRONG WITH PLAYING SOME CHEAPER ANIMALS FOR A MONTH.
Â
race 1Â Â Â above average clarity
6 Star Presence  wide trip/big fig in MSW debut...big bucks horse is bred to handle the route
2 Indian Galaxy  2 solid sprints and now attempts a route as the lone speed and Bejarano in control
5 Big Tiz  nice move forward in 2nd lifetime start and now gives route racing a try....barn is decent 1st time at a route with a horse
Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
3 Pretty Kinzie  most of career fits well in this spot...lost about 4 lengths in last and still just missed
1 Our Bellini Bikini  learned to rate in last....plenty of speed can set things up for her new found closing style
7 Shine'n Time  hot barn and hot rider/trainer combo....filly needs just a little more punch late when it counts
11 Cenizo  horse likes a couple of months off and gets it.....will need a very clever rider from the far outside post
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
6 Prayer For Relief  decent animal seemingly catches a very soft group of MSW animals
1 Runflatout  1st timer is training well enough to be considered ready to roll in her debut run
7 Alert Rocket  last looks like the gimme mdn debut to be full throttle in 2nd lifetime start
5 Twice The Appeal  compromised by a wide post and a wide trip in MSW debut...should move forward today
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
7 No Saint But Sweet  1 1/2 year laid up animal is training as if she is totally fit and ready for her drop down return...has some speed in a field that lacks it
6 Avani Force 40 to 1 in MSW debut has gimme city written all over it...drop for today....should be tough
3 Warren's Moon  consistent mdn claimer will need to overcome her tendency to hang to win this
10 Ride A Wave  2nd time K Walsh is usually a dangerous thing
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
6 Twirling Candy  most impressive in all 3 lifetime starts....should be on or close to what looks like a favorable pace for the front runners
1 Kid Edward  on the right end of the learning curve and Cassidy has been getting the job done with his Stakes turf stock
3Â Royal F JÂ Â finally this nice colt learned what it means to pass in the stretch and win....fits with these....no longer the best turf MSW in the good old U S of A
Â
race 6Â Â Â below average clarity
5 Silver Swallow  nice sprint tightener and a good work since...sets for her closing style
6 Miss Peanut   also sets for her off pace running style....3 for 3 win on the main track in routes
4 Burg Berg  speed horse learned to rate in last and that may come in handy here
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
7 Spaniard  race lacks speed and he's got some....see ya
4 Triumphant Flight  good chance to get a solid chase position and ponce in the stretch
1 Supreme Summit  training great for his layoff run.....needs a confidence post so barn puts him in a nw2 alw
6 Mobilized  needs more pace than anticipated...shot if he gets it
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
6 Switch  classy filly sits close in an affair seemingly set for those close up
1 Ellafitz  great work tab even for a guy like Baffert...fresh and ready speed...a dangerous thing
8 Washington Bridge  last was fairly good...expecting more off of short rest
7 Fortunia  strong grass run in latest...1st ever on the AW is the question at hand
Â
race 9Â Â Â average clarity
7 Knockout Artist  loves the Dmr grass course and that is hidden...last race (bad trip-a-roo) also hides ability...race lacks speed and he has some
6 Silent Soul  appreciates the 1 mile distance...just won for higher claiming and drops...why not no grass racing at Fairplex just some great betting opportunities
2 Mr. Katz  bit short on figs but can be loose on the lead and may get away with pedestrian fractions
3 Woodland Flood  shot to sit close up chasing a slow pace
Â
race 10Â Â Â average clarity
2 Royal Import  has caught 2 consecutive powerful heats for the bottom level of maidens...his time would have beat the other maiden 25K divisions easily
9 One French Kiss  nice 1st win for John in last nite's 10th (we had in our picks of course...wonder how many $10.000 tickets in the pick 6 didn't)....he might make it 2 in a row because he has a good shot to get loose and lonely on the frond end here
12 Noble Cavalier  last sprint race fits 2 back fits and we get a positive rider switch
7 Our Juke Box Hero  some ability but more importantly a positive rider switch
1 Oh Now needs race 2 back to have a shot
