Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:



Printrack looks solid up front but most of the field has some speed and will make him earn it. I’ll trust Pletcher in here to have (4) BADGERVILLE geared up again as he was for his debut. They can let the others duel for the lead and Carmouche can bide his time until the stretch drive.


$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00


We’ll use him with (3) Printrack and (5) Juggler underneath


$ 7.00 Exacta 4 w/ 3, 5 Cost $ 14.00



We’ll also use Badgerville in a DAILY DOUBLE play.


Both (2) Street Culture and (8) How You Feeling look solid in the 4th


$ 7.00 Double 4 w/ 2, 8 Cost $ 14.00


Big Pete's Late Pick 3:


Race 7:


(7) KHALI MAGIC has been in good form this winter as she moved through levels quickly. She got to the lead late last time but couldn’t hang on. A similar effort today would make her tough to beat. I want to beat her with (5) WASP. She started her career with high hopes but has had trouble finding that form and getting to the race track. I like that Pletcher stretches her back out and she didn’t miss time between starts for this. A glimpse of her old self would be plenty for this group. (3) EPONA’S DREAM can Wake up every now and then. She faced two decent ones in her last two and didn’t disappoint that much. She’ll have speed in front of her to set her up.


$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 3, 5 w/ 3, 5, 7 Cost $ 12.00



Race 8:


(6) SAINT SELBY will take some money and looks the part of a favorite. There is a lack of speed that he will no doubt take advantage of. The slight cut back only helps. I will try to catch him with two runners starting with the Maker colt (7) LOOKIN FOR TROUBLE. The 1 for 14 is a little scary but he faced better early in his career. He looks to be back in form and Davis comes back to ride. (4) BIG BROWN SHOES made a move late for the lead but couldn’t finish it. He needs his brothers horse to soften up Saint Selby and if he gets his wish, Big Brown can come late to get it all.


$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 4, 7 w/ 4, 6, 7 Cost $ 12.00



Race 9:



Both favorites are worthy but one of them, (6) VINCENT, is coming in with just his debut race and had was able to dictate the fractions even though there was slight pressure. The other one, (3) BOOM BOOM KABOOM is now 0 for 22. He’s been running well recently and now drops back to where he belongs. We’ll include both but I want to take a shot with the Rudy runner, (8) OUT OF THE BREECH. His race two back was his best yet and made a move around the turn last time and either flatten out or something wasn’t right. The jock didn’t offer much for most of the stretch and basically eased under the wire. The switch to the bug is what stands out to me and Rudy is winning. Worth the 10:1 ML to close out the day.

$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 6, 8 w/ 3, 5, 6, 8 Cost $ 18.00
