Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Many of these claimers are heading in the wrong direction with not a lot of wins this year. I’ll play the weight game in this one and lean on (5) HEAVY ROLLER to step up once again. This savvy vet has 4 wins this year and continues to score high numbers in defeat. He may have found the right field as the claiming price is a little higher than he used to but no one jumps off the page
I’ll use with (4) Crypto Cash and (7) Baby I’m Perfect to close in late.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 5 w/ 4, 7 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 4:
It feels like something was off with (8) NO TIME ALONE as she did no running as the favorite last time. Ward then sent her to KEE for some minor adjustments and now she’s back. This Flintshire now gets a little more ground and is introduced to Saez. I think the 4:1 ML will hold as the money should pour in on the Brown firster.
I’ll use with (9) Masabeeh and(10) No Nannette No to rally for 2nd.
$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 8, 9, 10 Cost $ 18.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
I’ll lean on a stalker and a closer to start this late pick3. (2) KAWHI ME A RIVER has shown improvement in each race on the turf. He was too far back and couldn’t get there in his last. With speed signed on, he’ll stalk and be the threat through the lane. Atras will help with the speed by sending a rabbit to help set up his closer (8) RING OF FIRE. He has done nothing wrong when switched to the grass and also continues to improve. He’ll be better odds so we’ll lean more on this guy. (7) SCUTTLEBUZZ and (11) GINS AND TINS need the speeds to back up but both can win it with a perfect trip.
$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 2, 8 w/ 2, 7, 8, 11 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
Brown and Irad will take some action with (4) SERVE THE KING as he is the class but we’ll take a shot with (3) SOLDIER RISING. Rosario fell asleep on him last time and asked him to do too much late. Jose may have him a little closer and make it interesting late. (9) NO WORD is consistent and gets a new rider today. The 11F seems right for him (7) CHANNEL CAT is always a danger on the front end and there doesn’t appear to be many other speeds in here. That’s when him becomes very dangerous.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 3, 9 w/ 3, 4, 7, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
I’m not a fan of the favorite (1) CATCHING CUPID but his last number towers over the rest. I’m not sure I believe it so I’ll try to catch him late with (10) THRILL OF IT. Davis climbs aboard and he moves back in against fellow NY Breds. The slight cut back to 6F should help his stamina as he’ll stalk and wait for the speeds to back up. I’ll only use one more as I also like (5) RAW COURAGE cutting back as well. His debut in May would dominate this group but we haven’t seen that guy yet. If he shows up, they won’t catch him.
