Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:

(1) MO FOR THE KING was dominant in his last posting, a speed figure that towers over this bunch. I'm not sure where it came from, but he took a ton of money and jogged. That was a muddy track, but still, it was a big run. He figures to get a similar setup with Billy and Social going at it early. Mo can sit chilly for a while and come again when the other two start backing up.

I’ll use (2) Kid Billy and (5) Social Hour underneath for the exacta.

$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex 1 w/ 2, 5 Cost $ 14.00

We’ll also use (1) Mo For The King in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.

(1) Party Animal and (3) Up For An Oscar in the 4th.

$ 7.00 Daily Double 1 w/ 1, 3 Cost $ 14.00

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:

Race 6:

(3) GAMEBRED has a couple of races this year that make him a player. It wasn't his last, though. Draw a line through that one. They switch to Jose, and there's a big bullet in the AM on the 11th. (1) EZ ROLL woke up last time with a big effort when facing his fellow NY Breds after a year with open company. The two turns shouldn't matter. The same can be said about the 9F to (8) PROBABILITY. He wants all of two turns. If Jamie can clear off before the first turn, they could be a problem for the rest. A probable wire-to-wire candidate.

$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 3, 8 Cost $ 18.00

Race 7:

(1) OVERSUBSCRIBED, (4) AL JAFARA, and (5) ACCENT all come from the Brown barn and all three have a shot. It probably comes down to who gets the trip. Their styles are similar: stalk and sprint home. I have to use all three. The Casse filly, (7) AND ONE MORE TIME, is the danger. She has been keeping G2 company recently and holding her own. She may get the first jump on the Brown runners.

$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex 4, 5 w/ 1, 4, 5, 7 Cost $ 18.00

Race 8:

I only want three in this finale to get me home. (4) TWIRLING LAD adds L1 and has speed. Santana will go right from the first jump and try to win it going into the turn. Jose will sit right behind with (6) ARISTIDE MAILLOL and try to reel Twirling in. They move to the turf and cut back to 6F. Clement won with a first-time starter yesterday in a turf sprint. He'll try to do it again with (8) KIRKWOOD.
