Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Kantarmaci has a pair in here and I'll side with the possible lone speed (4) AMUNDSON. The instructions will be to go and try to bottom this field out. The slight drop will make this 9yr old a player.
I’ll use (6) Brew Pub and (8) Thrill Of It underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 4, 6, 8 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (4) Amundson in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(3) Sassy One and (9) Cravings in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 4 w/ 3, 9 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 7:
(4) DREAMLIKE looms large as he goes out for the second time for Rice after a strong run last time. (2) HOUSE UNITED draws inside and will likely go from there. He was part of the blanket finish with several of these. (5) RANGER BATTALION is the other Rice with several races that top this group. I'm expecting another big run today.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Exacta Box 2, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(5) MOMENTUM FILES is dropping to his lowest level and tries turf. This Uncle Mo can handle it as the cut back looms large. (4) SNARE has similar pp's and he too cuts back. He gets a perfect set up today. (8) REPURPOSE h has the connections that makes this guy a must use. He'll lay low early and come hard late.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 4, 5, 8 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
(3) SHARING WISDOM ran well first time out as Elliot takes over for a hot barn. (6) PERM is a first timer out of Frankel. The connections like to win early so he's a must use. (2) GETTING SERIOUS means just that. She'll enjoy the extra distance and make a run late. (1) CURLY Q GIRL will save the ground early and gather some momentum turning in. j
