Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:



I can’t explain why Vazquez is winning but I feel as though I need to ride it out. (7) BABA is fresh off the claim for Juan and figures to get the perfect set up. There are at least 3, maybe 4, that will likely go at it up front and Franco just has to find a hole to shoot threw. They will need to hold off the other hot trainer, Falcone.


$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 5, 7 Cost $ 18.00

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:


Race 7:


I’ve never been a fan of (1) LEGIT and his 3 for 19 records is mostly the reason for that but he finds himself the right field. Fresh off the claim, he drops to the bottom of the barrel in search of a win. The drop is scary but he should save some ground and come late. (3) FLOWERS FOR LISA may have the advantage up front today. Most of these are lacking speed so if he can control the pace, he’ll be tough to reel in. (8) PLAYRIGHT showed some life last time. The last three winners he faced would be odds on in here today. Maybe he’s got one more in him. I’ll also include the other speed incase Lisa takes the afternoon off. (7) INVEST has a race or two that is worth taking a shot at this 15:1 ML. Maybe the track or the wind can help carry him farther today

$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 8 w/ 1, 3, 7, 8 Cost $ 18.00


Race 8:


There’s two that stand out to me but we’ll use three. (5) MISS LESLIE ships in on a nice win streak. She has posted big numbers that make her a major player. The lack of speed is the only concern. (6) ITS COLD IN DEHERE is fresh off the Rice claim and bred to relish this 9F distance. They finally stretched her out and it’s paid off. Stable rider is up and is a must use for me. I will try for the fences here with (1) EXOTIC WEST. She has adapted well to dirt and the farther the better for this Hard Spun. Se doesn’t appear as fast as the above two but figures to save ground and wait for them to back up.


$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00



Race 9:


Both (1) EDDIE THE GREAT and (5) MIRACLE NICKY dropped to this level and put in go efforts. They were sprinting then and now will try to stretch out. We’ll use but try to beat both. (3) SILVERMILL made middle moves in both his turf races going long. He now moves to dirt, drops and gets L1. Nevin is doing everything right so I’m all in with this 6:1ML colt. (2) KONG LOVES A FIGHT usually comes late for a piece. I’ll use him underneath to juice up the exacta.


$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 3 w/ 1, 2, 3, 5 Cost $ 18.00
