Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(7) SCREAMING UNCLE was claimed back in December and put on the shelf for two months. They were aggresive and jumped him up in class which didn't work. It may have been a public workout though, as he showed speed and then faded. His last was a good sign that he may be coming around for a big effort. He was behind Graywing but looks to turn the table on that one today as more speed is signed on to soften his rival up..
I’ll use (5) He's Got This and (6) Emerald Forest underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 7 w/ 5, 6 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use (7) Screaming Uncle in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(6) Time For You and (7) Cataenjo in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 7 w/ 6, 7 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
(1) MISS LAO just missed last time at big odds. I had her that day, and I have to give her a chance again to at least hit the board. She moves up a little but is in good form. (2) SHORT SHIFT is the speed and cuts back here. She may stick around a little longer at 6F. (4) A MAIZE ZING DOTIE is dropping and appears to be dressed up for a claim. Manny takes over after a strong bullet work last Friday. Seems like now or never with this aging mare.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 2, 4 Cost $ 18.00
Race 7:
(11) SACRED GODDESS exits four straight stakes races and adds L1 today. She likes to stalk and come with a run and the race sets up that way with several speeds entered. Donk has one of those speeds as his rabbit to help Johnny V close with (13) FEDUPWITHTHEFED. She tries turf for the first time so if she likes it, she'll be a threat late. Disco Partner is well represented in here with (5) DANCINGWITHDESTINY handling the front pace and (2) DISCO STAR making her run from off the pace. She too has some stakes experience and adds L1 today. If she finds her race that she ran last May here, she wins going away today.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 2, 11 w/ 2, 5, 11, 13 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(9) SOARING SPIRIT has the breeding to score quickly on the grass. Manny thinks so too, as he gives this first-timer a try. (8) AMAZING GRACER is one of the vets with three races under her belt. She's collecting checks, and Jose takes over. The one to beat with Prat scratching out. (2) TICKET TO RIDE ran her best race last time out. Maybe the switch went off, or the medication kicked in on the grass. I like her today. DeVaux has the well-bred (4) PELICAN PRIDE making her debut. They ship her in against fellow NY fillies with some nice works at Churchill. She appears live with Johnny V waiting around for the last race.
