Friday racing in NY on a crisp October day and we have you covered. I will be condensing my plays to just including the horses each race that I will be including. I will be playing the early double (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 5-7). Big Pete will have his full breakdown on his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 8-10). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

R2: 1, 9, 10, 12 Cost: $24.00
Little Pete's $ 1.00 Spot Pick 3:

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
We won't try to beat (2) SINGLE SOUL in here as she has been keeping good company this year and holding her own. She only faces 5 other fillies today and she jumps off the page as the one to beat. I am interested in the War Front 4yr old, (5) L'Indiscret to fight her through the stretch and hang on for 2nd.
$ 10.00 Ex 2 w/ 4, 5 Cost $ 20.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 4:
Manny chooses (1) FLAT OUT BEAUTIFUL after he managed only a 4th place finish last month. I like the stretch out for him to this 1M distance as we know what her dad did at that distance. He'll likely stalk the leaders and come late for the dough.
$ 10.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 30.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
We'll spread out to kick off this late Pick 3 but I'll lean more so on (9) SUSSEX GARDEN. She ran well to get 3rd against a sharp Time Limit at the Spa. She returned a month later and she regressed. I'm expecting her to bounce back from this outside post and mow them down late. (4) STOLEN HOLIDAY will supply the pace and (5) LILLY SIMONE has a closing kick that can be useful if the pace heats up. (2) ABUSE OF POWER is the unknown as this lighlty raced filly keeps improving every time out and switches to Davis after being away for a year.
$ 7.00 WPS 9 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 4, 9 w/ 2, 4, 5, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
I'm all in with (5) EASY TIME in this spot. He's been holding his own against G2 runners and this should be an easier group for him today. Casse summons Saez and the 7F looks perfect. I'll also use the "other" Not This Time colt (6) ARZAK as he didn't have the best start last time as (3) SMOKIN' JAY got first jump on him and it was too much to overcome. Clean break today should turn the table. The interesting one is the first time turf runner (1) CROWDED TRADE. This More Than Ready could be better than dirt and gets Rosario for the ride.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 5, 6 w/ 1, 3, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
If (8) HOT ROD RUMBLE Re-Pete's his last effort, the rest are all running for 2nd. He couldn't last close to home but was well clear of the 3rd place finisher. Irad likely stays outside for clear sailing and runs away late. The only other in here that I am using is the Central Banker firster (11) CALL MY BANKER. The fact that he's listed at 9:2 ML says a lot about this field and Kendrick has come back with a purpose.
