Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
1M distance for these 20k claimers and I have to try and beat the Brown favorite as this is not where his horse show up when they are in good form. They want Aggregation out of their barn. I landed on (6) SHIPSATIONAL in here. A nice run last time to get 2nd and stretches out to a preferred distance.
I’ll use (2) Quiet Wisdom and (7) Lotsa Trouble to complete the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (6) Shipsational in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(6) Doomed and (7) Caddiemaster in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 6, 7 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 5:
(5) BOLD STRENGH comes in for Cox with a 2nd place finish sporting a high speed figure. He looks too good to try and beat so we'll lean on him to win it and hope a price can come underneath.
I’ll use (1) Duration and (2) Radauti to close out the exacta.
$ 10.00 Ex 5 w/ 1, 2 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
(2) LANDED is the only mount for Johnny V so this filly should be ready for a decent effort. They tried turf last time but that might have been a public workout. A must use for me. (5) BERNIETAKESCHARGE will do just that. She'll be up front and the only question will be if she'll take pressure all the way around, If not, she's a wire to wire candidite. I want to take a shot with (4) SOLOSHOT. She's tried stakes company last time and was a closing 2nd going 7F. Now this Solomini stretches out even more and that's what she wants. Jaime has been timing them well lately and they'll be a dcent price.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
(8) METATRON looks the part as he moves back in against fellow state breds. They stretch him out to two turns first itme on the dirt today. We'll stay with the outside runners as they all have speed to position themselves going into the first turn. (7) HEY TOBY, (9) BERNING BEAUTY or (10) CONCORDE SPIRIT can take control early and never look back, while the other two can stalk and pick the leader up late.
$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 8, 9 w/ 7, 8, 9, 10 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
(4) ITWILLBEFUN is the speed and will try to control it all the way. If they let her get away easy, she's gone. Prat probably gets (9) TAKE ME TO LONDYN into the race early to avoid getting wired. She has the highest speed figures of this group and 5:2 might be a gift if it holds up. I'll throw in a wise guy and use 1 for 24 closer (6) THAT'STHEFACTJACK. She'll come from way out of it and needs the speeds to go at it. The 7F may help strength her closing kick so we'll try this 8:1 and hope she hits the board.
