Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Rice has horses entered in half the card and she look strong in all of them. (3) EXPLORATION responded well first time out for his new barn last time. He closed to get 2nd on a track that hasn't been kind to closers. Hopeful the track evens out and gives this gelding a fair chance today. His stablemate will provide some pressure up front to help set up his late kick.
I’ll use (1) Awesome Empire and (2) Golden Plate underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 2, 3 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (3) Exploration in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(2) Power Seeker and (3) Unlimitedpotential in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 3 w/ 2, 3 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
(4) GOOD MONEY ships in for his new trainer and cuts back to 6F This is the lowest level that he's tried to date so he likely wins or finishes last if his damaged goods. I'll use defensively and take the other logical one (5) KID BILLY. If Jose can clear off and settle, he becomes very danger to wire them. Both have higher speed figures than the rest of them so we'll try to get by with only these two.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 4, 5 w/ 2, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00
Race 7:
(6) BOURBON SERENGETI and (9) MITOLE'S GIRL have the highest speed figures and should dominate the betting. Their barns keep winning and the two jocks keep winning races here. Both are a must use but, I want to try and beat them both with the rail runner. (1) BOURBON N LACE has the rail and should sit right behind the above two. She can wait for Elliot's que and try to gather them late. She has some speed figures that match up to these so she doesn't need to improve that much.
$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 6, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(2) KYLE'S MOM figures to take some action as they drop her down to where she belongs. She dominated NW2L two back and cuts back to this one turn mile. The other logical is (7) TOXIC GIRL off the Rice claim. Keep an eye on Mitole's Girl in the previous race as that one beat her but toxic wasn't that far behind. I like the other Rice, (5) MOON GATE just a little more. She goes out first time for her new barn and they stretch this Authentic to this 1M distance.
