Eight races on this Friday of racing at the Big A. I will be condensing my plays down to just the numbers and attacking the early double starting in R2 (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 3-5). Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 6-8). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Little Pete's $ 3.00 Early Double:


R1: 2, 3

R2: 1, 2, 4 Cost: $ 18.00


Little Pete's $ 1.00 Spot Pick 3:


R3: 1, 5, 6

R4: 1, 5

R5: 1, 3, 8 Cost: $ 18.00



Big Pete's $ 1.00 Late Pick 3:


R6: 3, 6, 8

R7: 4, 6, 8, 9

R8: 4, 7 Cost: $ 24.00


Big Pete's "Play of the Day":


Race 3:


(6) HE'S GOT THIS is now or never today. All of these have trouble winning and most can't make it this far. He will likely stalk and mount a late charge and the others should fade away.


I’ll use (1) Unbridled Bomber and (5) Laughing Boy underneath for the exacta.


$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex 6 w/ 1, 5 Cost $ 14.00


We’ll also use (6) He's Got This in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.


(1) Copious and (5) Shadow Banking in the 4th.


$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 1, 5 Cost $ 14.00



Big Pete's Late Pick 3:



Race 6:


(6) TIZMARKUS will enjoy the class relief and gets a little help with the scratch of one of the players. His speed figure three back would be way too much for this group if he can come close to that. (8) BREW PUD drops also and usually runs his race. he doesn't win much lately but he did find some friends to help in that department. (3) STEWIE moves to another barn and has decent numbers that make him a player in here.


$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 6, 8 Cost $ 18.00


 

Race 7:


(6) LUCILLE BALL and (8) WAVELESS broke their maiden with style. They don't need to be superstars against this group to go back to back. All the others have had several races but don't jump off the page. I'll use both (4) ROMANTIC DANCER and (9) HUE to offer a late bid. Both have a race that, when given a decent set up, can come late to make it interesting.



$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 6, 8 w/ 4, 6, 8, 9 Cost $ 18.00



Race 8:


(7) ELEGANT looms large with Rice and Prat teaming up here. They drop just enough and cut back a little to be a major player against these. A single possibility if you want to keep your play small. I'll include (4) SCARLET'S DREAM as she is fresh off the claim for a new barn and likes to hit the board. If she can improve a little, that might be enough.


$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex Box 2, 7 Cost $ 14.00
