Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Both Olympic Dreams and Film Star will grab most of the attention and I can't argue that. But Olympic faces open company for the first time and Star likes to finish 2nd. To me, the race setups perfect for (3) THE PRINCE'S SPUR. He shipped in last time and the track came up sloppy. He wasn't moving well and the track may have helped the front runners. I'm drawing a line through that one give this gy another shot. He's not unfamiliar to the Spa dirt as he broke his maiden here last year running away with it. Bauer is having a great meet with limited runners and the 59 breeze jumps off the page against these.
I’ll use (4) Olympic Drwams and (5) Film Star for the 2nd spot.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (3) The Prince's Spur in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(5) Rally Squirrel to wire them or (7) Magnolia Midnight on the class relief in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 3 w/ 5, 7 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
(2) MISCREAT wants grass and distance and she gets just that today. She has a nice rally two back against winners for the first time at a mile, then tried Into Happiness on the dirt. She moves back to the proper surface and has maintained steady works for this. Castellano will be coming late with (6) EXCEPT TEMPTATION. She's a plodder so she'll need a clean run without any trouble. Javier is the right guy for that. (7) MISS KRISTY moving back to turf will help this Good Samaritan filly out. She is the late danger to run by them all. (10) DONTMESSWITHTESS gets the re-ride from Irad. He must have felt something good with this runner to give her another shot. They have to deal with the outside post though.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 2, 7 w/ 2, 6, , 10 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
(8) WAYS AND MEANS took Saratoga by storm with her maiden score. Visual impressive as can be. She has the connections to follow that up and is a must use to move on. (9) BRIGHTWORK has done nothing wrong rattling off three straight. Her Adirondack was also impressive after a tardy start. A big bullet last week for this proves she's still on her toes and is the main danger. Pletcher is being left off the radar with all the hype centered on the top two. This Street Sense filly, (1) MIZ SENSE is the only one cutting back. Manny can sit right behind the speeds and come with their run. I can't let Pletcher get away with 15:1ML
$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 8, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
Brown needs to hold off Rice so they will afforrd to loose (8) ADDRESSABLE MARKET for a W. Or, is she damaged goods that the barn is giving up on. Remains to be seen. I will navigate to Johnny V sticking around for the last and land on (1) JET CITY WOMEN. She just missed at this level two back and then faced much better next out. The get a cozy post and will start her charge around the turn. Hopefully the 4:1 ML holds up.(3) WHISKY LULLABY takes the class drop and has speed. She looks to be the horse to catch and beat. A must use for me. (7) ROSY TOMORROWS is the savor in here. She has some speed and also drops. She will get first run on the closers.
