Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
With two possible speeds coming out of this race via scratches, (2) JERUSALEM GATES may have the front all to himself. Rice has a couple of bullets leading up to his return and I’m guessing Lezcano guns him right from the start. The cut back from two turns to one jumps off the page.
I’ll look for both (4) Trash Talker and (6) Twelth Man to come late underneath
$ 10.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 30.00
$ 7.00 Ex 2 w/ 4, 6 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 7:
I am not a fan of the favorite after her last race at the Spa. We’ll try to beat her even though she lands in a hot barn. I do like the four inside runners. (1) MY ROXY GIRL may not have cared for the spring water up North and now finds herself in with an easier bunch. She beat a couple of runners in here already. (2) NO DEAL is very interesting as she posted a big number in the slop which was first time out after being claimed in January. She has some back class and a sharp gate work for this. I’m all in. (3) SARATOGA BEAUTY is very popular in the claiming game and shows up every time. The switch back to Cancel will help her price and she is a contender. (4) SWEET MIA likes it here on Big Sandy posting two strong 2nd place finishes this summer.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 2, 3 w/ 1, 2, 3, 4 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
We’ll stay with the inside draw again as (1) BYHUBBYHELLOMONEY ran big in the Fleet Indian at 9F and got up at 5.5F earlier in the Spa meet. Should have speed up front for her to run down late. (2) HONEY MONEY has been on a roll this summer/fall. Her losses were against slightly better than she meets today and looks strong again.
(3) THE IMPORTANT ONE has been on the lawn for most of her races but dominated an off the turf event last time. She will be picking up the leaders late.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 1, 2 w/ 1, 2, 3 Cost $ 12.00
Race 9:
The drop for (13) HIT THE NAIL is a little fishy to me. I’ll use defensively as she draws in and has run faster than these fillies in her last two. (10) TALES OF MAKENNA woke up for Weaver when they found a softer group at the Spa. It also was her first attempt on the lawn so she may like it better than the dirt. I will lean on the filly (4) INOUAINTTALKINTOME stretching out. She didn’t have the cleanest trip in her debut and I think she shows speed today. The Tiger Ridge influence should help go longer on the turf. The more aggressive Carmouche will try to steal it. (9) HIYA HARRY is a long shot I’ll include as the connection won’t scare anybody. She tried open company when returning to the turf and didn’t get away too cleanly. She ran ok in her debut at this level and would be no surprise to me.
