Fast and firm once again for this Sunday from the Spa. I will be condensing my plays down to just the number and attacking the early double (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 5-7). Big Pete will attack two "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 8-10); GOOD LUCK.
Little Pete's $ 5.00 Early Double:
R1: 1, 4
R2: 1, 7 Cost: $ 20.00
Little Pete's $ 1.00 Spot Pick 3:
R5: 3, 4, 5, 6
R6: 4, 5, 6
R7: 1, 3, 8 Cost: $ 36.00
Big Pete's $ 1.00 Late Pick 3:
R8: 4, 6, 8
R9: 1, 8, 9
R10: 1, 6, 7, 9 Cost: $ 36.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Pletcher is sending some live runners out lately and the latest is (6) IRISH GENT as Irad takes over and they give him L1 after a solid 2nd against better. He's bred to handle this turf and sprinting will be his game.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost: $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 4, 6, 9 Cost: $ 18.00
We'll use (6) Irish Gent in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(3) Heeere's Johnny or (4) Epic Desire in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 3, 4 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
(8) CONMAN is probably the one to beat but this one looks wide open and a tough start to this late Pk3. I'll use but try to beat him with two others. (4) OCALA DREAM moves back to the grass after two nice attempts in off the turf efforts. I'm landing on (6) RUSSIAN REALM finally getting back on the turf. It was here last year when he tried it and ran ok. Rosario takes control and he looks live to me.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost: $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 4, 6, 8 Cost: $ 18.00
Race 9:
(9) GOVERNOR SAM will be odds on to do it again. His Quick Call was enough to beat these if he comes right back with that effort. I want to try and beat him with (8) GABALDON. He's shown speed in all his start and picks up Jose for this. He'll let him go and try to catch him. The sleeper is from Asmussen. (1) INNOVATOR is shipping in sharp and gets Santana who is riding well.
$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost: $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 8, 9 Cost: $ 18.00
Race 10:
(1) TUSCAN GOLD has been away for a little bit and came back in June with an ok run. They convince Prat to take the mount so I'm guessing he made live. (6) PANDAGATE tries open company with solid NY Bred figures. (7) CHILENO has been picking up checks lately and should get one today. (9) MIKEALICIOUS is the wise guy pick to juice up the exotics
