Eight races for this wet Sunday. I will be condensing my plays down to just the numbers and attacking the early double starting in R2 (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 3-5). Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 6-8). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.
Little Pete's $ 5.00 Early Double:
R1: 3, 4
R2: 1, 2 Cost: $ 20.00
Little Pete's $ 1.00 Spot Pick 3:
R3: 1, 3, 6

R5: 2, 3, 6 Cost: $ 27.00

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(3) CARARRA is fresh off the Cox claim and her speed figures before the move to this barn were good enough today. We're expecting improvement and Prat only helps matters. She'll be short in odds but we'll try to sneak a price underneath.
I’ll use (1) In Awe Of Juju and (6) Shadyside underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 3 w/ 1, 6 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use (3) Cararra in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(1) Problematica and (6) Echo In Eternity in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 3 w/ 1, 6 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
(6) REMI'S MOON and (7) LOOMS BOLDLY will dominate the front end. If Looms can shake free early on, he could wire them. Remi's has to stay close and get first jump on the closers. I'll take one of those closers, (3) LOTSA TROUBLE to run them both down. We'll have to key an eye on the track and see if it is helping the front runners. If it's fair, then they are in a World Of Trouble with this gelding.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00
Race 7:
(2) EPITAPH ships back to NY after a couple of nice races where he recorded decent speed figures. He shouldn't mind the off today and picks up a hot rider. (3) LAST MAN STANDING has Prat and Rice teaming up. They are two for two when Prat shows up on him. (7) ENDURING SPIRIT is fresh off the claim with solid speed figures too. He could be tough with this nice outside draw and run them down.
$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 2, 7 w / 2, 3, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(2) SASSY SATS drops to 20k and adds L1. That just might be enough for this group. The rest of the runners that have run look as if they have no chance. I'll include the two first time starters because I can't back anyone else. (9) FLEE and (10) SARATOGA SUNSET are from outfits that are winning.
