Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(3) JUDGE BOUSHAY was helped with the Mott runner coming out. Brown drops this guy for sale. Needs a better break to stay closer and then gather momentum turning for home. The stretch out is just what he may need.
I’ll use (6) Crowbar Artist and (4) What's Your Zaddy underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 3 w/ 4, 6 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use (3) Judge Boushay in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(1) Asset Light and (6) Directive in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 2 w/ 1, 6 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
The favorite, Spirit Of Esther, is tough to like but that can be said about all of them. These NW2L runners just don't like to win. I'll try to beat this short price and hope for the best. (6) MIA NIPOTINA was gaining on Esther when they met and lost a lot of ground around the turn. A better trip makes this girl tough. (3) THAT'SAFACTJACK was also just behind them and Jamie gets a another crack at it with this Mare. They both prefer 2nd and 3rd so I'll try the lightly race filly, (2) ROSE LISA, to wake up for her new barn. She's been facing better maidens and I'm guessing she didn't care for the mud last time. She may come out running from this inside post and take them all the way. If she duals early, this will help the above two make up ground late.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 3, 6 Cost $ 18.00
Race 7:
(3) MOMENT'S NOTICE, (4) PLAYA DEL MAR and (5) EGYPTIAN all switch barns to outfits that win often after the claim. You can trust all three will show up but I'll lean more on Manny. He's riding the best in New York right now and he's teamed up with Dutrow on several of his wins.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
This one looks between three IMO. (6) TEXAS RED HOT and (7) BREW PUB both hit the wire together last time and figure to make similar moves today. I'll use both but I'm looking to wire this field with (3) ALEAH ALEAH. He has several speed figures that stack up well against this group and gets in light with the bug on his back. They can grab the rail early and spurt away turning for home.
