Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:

Emirates Road will be tough as Manny and Cox team up but they are looking to part ways with this gelding. I'll use but I want to try and steal it on the front end with (5) BOURBON CHASE. He was claimed last time and goes out for a hot barn. he has the speed to clear off and let the track carry him far. The others lack speed so Jamie can try to save some energy for late.

I’ll use (4) Waitlist and (6) Emirates Road underneath for the exacta.

$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex 5 w/ 4, 6 Cost $ 14.00

We’ll also use (5) Bourbin Chase in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.

(1) Graceful Rose and (4) Top Of The Table in the 4th.

$ 7.00 Daily Double 5 w/ 1, 4 Cost $ 14.00

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:

Race 7:

Only four left in here and three want and need the lead. (1) IGNITE THE LIGHT and (7) LIGHT THE WAY will duke it out up front with the PARX invader. Both will try to shake loose, so if one can do that, they have the advantage. I see it as a perfect set up for (6) BRAMITO to bide his time early and roll on by late. He did just that last time out and won easy.

$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00

Race 8:

(1) LAND D'ORO is not a two turn runner so the cut back to one makes sense here. Jamie will save some ground with the rail draw and find a seam turning for home. The speed will back up with several going at it. I'll look for two other closers to join the party late. (5) REYNOLDS CHANNEL was against the track in Feb. A faor footing today and this gelding should bounce back with a good effort. (7) BRAZENLY is not your winning type ( 4 for 41) but he seems to be coming around at the age of 8. He's yet to miss the board at this level in three starts. and Jose takes another crack at it with him. He looks live to me. I have to try and beat the short priced Brown runner trying winners for the first time.

$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 5, 7 Cost $ 18.00

Race 9:

(2) GOLDEN SYMPHONY has the speed to be dangerous. He drops several levels and you have to wonder why. A must use to close out this pick 3 but is he damaged goods. We'll try to beat because of that thought. Both (4) LOTSA TROUBLE and (8) SHIPSATIONAL were way against the track in that Feb 11th race. No one was gaining on the front runners in most of February. These two figure to bounce back with their usual late runs in a very suspect field. They both switch trainers off the claims and pick up different jockeys. I'll side with Manny who continues to keep winning this winter.
