Presque Isle Tuesday (open thread)

[The Spaniard]

R1: the favorite risks a bounce after his best Beyer ever last time (71 > 85). Tapeta monster (50% in the exacta) :3: TAKIDDM could profit.

1 win / 2 show

1st ($8.00)

[The Spaniard]

R2: :9: BEYOND MIDNIGHT fired big first time sprinting over tapeta. Maybe the speedy influence of Midnight Lute prevails over the staying condition of the mother (3rd in a 10f Stakes on dirt) and she's a closing sprinter.

3rd

[The Spaniard]

R3: the favorite (5)AIR ALASKA low figure last time (54) is scary. :3: VILLANELLA shows good workouts over synthetic and can wake up. :7: GURKHA form is going up and she's got much back class

win :3: and win :7:

NP & 3rd

[The Spaniard]

R4: speed is working fine this evening and lightly raced and speedy :4: ONE BUCK ROMA can make use of it to beat his main foe (3)GUY ON THE GO. Tapeta debutante (5)D'WOP D'WOP can surprise.

1st ($3.40)
2$ exacta 4-5: $23.00

Nice pix. I'm playing win bet on Tribal Strike in the 6th and Beautiful Rainbows in the 7th. Also playing a 50¢ P4 in the 5th 2 w 3,4 w 5,8 w ALL $10. If I miss the 5th I'll play the P3 in the 6th same numbers good luck.

[The Spaniard]

R5: favorite :4: TOTO COR is the quickest over a speed conductive track, shows the best last race Beyer by far (3 point above par time for this class) and superior workouts over the track (46.4 > 59.2): rock solid. Improver :2: for the exacta.

2nd & 1st
$2 exacta $15.20)

[Maximillion]

race 7

:7: Sweet Argument--visually impressive 2nd in last......overall record poor but think this one moves up significantly on the tapeta.Should be a fair price.

[The Spaniard]

R6: :1: NIKKI'S NUT likes synthetics (5 runs, two of his best figures are over tapeta:65 -62), he's in good form, he'll be the speed on the lead, and his trainer is very effective after short layoffs like this (24% win). Both with tactical speed an closers, :4: and :8: should fight for the exacta.

NP

you were right Maxi, I didn't like it mostly because he was a router without a win over 6f. The price went down in the end.

There seems to be more of this large price dropping(in the late stages of a race) in the last few weeks than I can recall in a long time....but I could very well be wrong.

[The Spaniard]

R7: Tough call. :4: OSCEOLA GAL seems to me the best speed in this race (many 60 Beyer) and she can rate behind the speed.

NP

she took a day off this Osceola Gal...

[Maximillion]

race 7

:2: Going North---Didnt break very well from the rail in last.Its possible she may have bounced 2nd off layoff as well.Should be able to show more speed here and would seem to be a threat at a price.

:5: Beautiful Rainbows--Old mare keeps on ticking....last a step back in the right direction and think she can move forward again.

:2: :5: win/win

NP both

R8: Another tough call between :1: and :2: (2)LET'S GO DONNA is running her third race in a month, while win machine :1: ROYAL REWARD arrives undefeated in the year and after a nice short layoff, but training every week. I bet for her freshness.

2nd

I fell like a wrong decision machine lately
