Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:

(3) IRON MAN IRA is stretching back out to 1M and has speed to get there. There's not a lot of closing kick in this group so if they can open up early, they will be tough to catch.

I’ll use (2) Goldfire and (9) Sunday Gilt underneath for the exacta.

$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 3, 9 Cost $ 18.00

We’ll also use (3) Iron Man Ira in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.

(5) Gone And Forgotten or (9) My First Love in the 4th.
