[private]
FAIRPLEX DATES AVAILABLE
Opening day at Fairplex Friday, September 9th and Derby day at Fairplex, Saturday September 24th will be available. There will be another card covered which I'll announce at a later date.
After a very nice day yesterday we have to deal with not the easiest of cards today. I will be taking it easy at the windows or should I say the keyboard.
race 1 average clarity
7 Distinctive Dude pressed a decent pace caught 3 wide in MSW debut last and rightfully tired drops to Mdn40K......should be formidable from start to finish
3 Thunder Canyon needed mc debut race as witnessed by 17 to 1 odds in a 7 horse field....useful 4 furlong work since.....likely to move forward today
6 Over Africa good work tab at SA for this 1st timer......Armstrong is quite reliable when she shows good works with a 1st timer or a laid up animal
2 Sentry Duty improving sort steps up a notch and changes riders.........T C Baze is the new jock and he has been in a mini-slump late.....one of my favorite guys in the jocks room is due to snap out of the doldrums any day now....he did win Weds. 8th
race 2 average clarity
3 Magoo laid up shipper from Ward is working very sharply at Aqu and takes the long journey cross country for this race....trainer is stout in abbreviated turf sprints
1 Bolinas has done little wrong in 5 lifetime turf races......can sit off of what should be the kind of pace up front that should peel back most of those up close early
4 Lordgivemealift chance to be speed of the speed but at what cost?....new trainer....sharp recent near bullet drill and P Val should help
7 Shred The Secrets sharp work tab says ready fresh off of the bench.......can sit far enough off what may be a torrid early pace to put in a good late run with the hot riding (I'd like to win the racing title) Talamo up
race 3 slightly below average clarity
7 Frisky Moment owns good early speed and improved nicely in 2nd lifetime start.....jock is waking up.....same and of course better and he should be tough
5 Finegain Again last looks like the 36 to 1 tune-up in a non claiming MSW debut to tightened up and be well meant in 2nd lifetime run
2 Arethereanycookies one baby step at a time....Rosario sticks with this baby who appears to have run himself into shape
9 Jack O Lyn 1ster from a small time barn is too hard to ignore with the good work tab that is showing
race 4 average clarity
2 Tripped The Light very good history running 2 turns on synthetic surfaces
4 Akeela on the improve and it sure seems like a good sign Chew steps this filly up again....exits a fast heat in last with a solid 2nd place finish
7 Dave's Revenge inconsistent bit of a rogue mare is solid when she brings her "A" game it is just hard to tell when she brings it
1 Jana Gail big effort/fig 2 races back at today's 1 mile distance on the AW....has developed a tendency to hang over the past year or would have selected higher
race 5 average clarity
4 Lovely Sophia both one mile races on the Dmr AW are her 2 best ever......tremendous meet for the combination of Eurton/Bejarano...last shot (most likely) to run on the Dmr syn. till next year....should be very well meant
11 Somenchanted Evenin solid awakening 1st time at a route of ground in latest.....same or better fits well in this spot
10 Highly Composed barn is ice cold....needs a win......lone race/effort/fig on the AW run 4 back would handle these....big drop but why not to break the ice
8 Lunar Lovegal another who really vaulted forward in last.....1st at a route but bred fine to handle 1 mile
race 6 average clarity
6 Hiatus has been running on the AW and the grass like an extra 1/16th of a mile will be right up his alley and an excellent off pace grass rider in Gomez is aboard
3 Fire Break fits the race condition extremely well as if it was written for him.....exits a solid heat and he ran 2nd to a next out grass winner
8 Kim's Leading Lady hit the board in his last 6 grass races......1 1/8 mile distance fits this 4 year old well
1 Big Sky Posse keeps getting better and better and better and ships and.......
race 7 average clarity
4 Capital Plan hellooooooo AW....big awakening 1st ever on the synthetic in latest and the works since are stellar....rather sure we see best ever today and the last was quite good
1 Hikuchi both races so far in the U S of A are good and now we get a positive rider change and a decent post for a mile on the main track
5 Ambitoness solid run in last the 1st ever for Mitchell......3 more works since....should see even more today
2 Hopeful Union consistent sort especially on the synthetic.....jock and trainer could use a win....I sure hate seeing good guys like Ellis and T C Baze (did win the last yesterday) in a slump....they will be back...they are too good to keep down too long
race 8 slightly below average clarity
14 Warren's Lady nice solid move forward in last getting caught 3 wide near a decent pace and only getting beat by 1/2 for 2nd....trainer is quietly having a decent meet including a big price winner yesterday in the 1st leg of the pick 6 who we picked as our 3rd selection
12 Pick Your Battles nice work tab for this 1ster and the trainer has a good history with filly maiden claiming 1st timers
1 Stealthy owns dangerous early speed and is trained and ridden by jock/trainer that do well with speed types
7 Royaly Forbidden may have needed debut last...if so lookout today
4 Kissin In The Dark
10 Miss Becca
