Big Pete's "Play of the Day":


Race 3:


A tough bunch to tackle as these four are in search of their 2nd win. Fever Night drops in for a tag and will get heavly bet with these connections. l don't trust him as he has no speed and will have to pass them all. l landed on (4) SENEGAL as Jaime takes over off the claim. I'm guessing he'll be closer than normal and will get the jump on the favorite. The 9F should be right up his alley for this Solomini.


I’ll use (6) Egyptian to hang on underneath for the exacta.


$ 10.00 WP 4 Cost $ 20.00

$ 7.00 Ex 4 w/ 6 Cost $ 10.00


We’ll also use (4) Senegal in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.


(1) Great Richie M and (2) Master Of Arms in the 4th.


$ 7.00 Daily Double 4 w/ 1, 2 Cost $ 14.00



Big Pete's Late Pick 3:



Race 6:


(2) THAT'S FUNNY is jumping off a cliff as she hits the 12k basement. This is not a good sign and we have to try and beat her and only use defensively. Manny stays on (4) SPIRIT OF ESTHER and they managed 2nd last time against slightly better. They will make Funny earn it and that's why I went with (1) BLENHEIM BABY. She needs the speeds to come back to her and several in here like the front end early. Look for them to tire and Prat will pick them up late.


$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 2, 4 Cost $ 18.00


 

Race 7:


(5) ONE NINE HUNDRED and (2) VETTRIANO have similar styles where both will try to get away up front. If one can shake loose from the other, they have the advantage. I'll look for them to hook up and tire each other out. That should set up a late run for (1) BIG HAT WILLIE. He goes out for a new barn off a nice stalking win last time. He sports a big bullet leading up to this so I'm expecting some improvement off that. (6) MR SKYLIGHT also becomes a dnager to close in with Prat taking the mount.



$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 6 w/ 1, 2, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00



Race 8:


(3) MO SPICE looms large as Cox finds an easy spot for him and cuts him back to sprinting. They add L1 and seems live for these. (5) TINSELTOWN should be the main danger. He didn't get away clean last time so the break will be important once again.


$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex Box 3, 5 Cost $ 14.00
