Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Bottom claimers go 1M on Big Sandy. There is speed entered so I'll lean on the outside runner, (7) UNION LIGHTS to sit chilly and stalk outside the whole way. The others will eventually start to tire like they always do, and Union will just maintain his pace and motor on by late.
$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost: $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 7 w/ 1, 4 Cost: $ 14.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 4:
The connections got very aggressive with (6) RADIO RED and put him in the Gotham. Both the competition and the 1M were way too much for this guy and they do the right thing by cutting back and spotting him where he belongs. His on dry track race was his best breaking his maiden against fellow NY Breds.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost: $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex Box 5, 6, 7 Cost: $ 18.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 9:
The Euro's start to ship in this time of year to test the waters. That's the case with (3) OTTOMAN FLEET as Applyby also brings his rider with him. They must mean business and looking for an easy 200k check to cover expenses. Found an easy spot to make his US debut. (6) CITY MAN could be the only danger. He exits a solid G1 where he ended up the favorite and didn't run that bad dispite the 12th position.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost: $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 3 w/ 2, 6 Cost: $ 14.00
Race 10:
(5) KATHLEEN O just doesn't want two turns. This 1M, one turn fits her style and she should strut herself today. Look for her to get back on track against this G3 competition in the G2 Ruffian today. (1) PASS THE CHAMPAGNE has worked herself back in shape. Lynch returns and they will try to improve on her 2nd place finish last time.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost: $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 5 w/ 1, 3 Cost: $ 14.00
Race 11:
The first two legs look chalky so we will spread out a little in the finale. Maye we can catch a price to add some value. (8 VINCE THE PRINCE and (5) STOW ON THE WOLD have speed and if one of them can establish a controlled pace, they may be able to go the distance. I like the colt who will likely sit right behind those two, (4) ITSALLCOMINGTOGETHA. He gets to stretch his legs more today going two turns. With Powerscourt underneath, this guy can easily get this 1M. Look for him to accelarate past turning for home. The favorite, (11) ONE HEADLIGHT did nothing wrong first out. He'll have to work ou a trip way out there and try to close in. (12) THETHRILLOFVICTORY is a price that get L1 and move back to his prefered surface. His race two back matches up well with this group.
