Race One:
I’m looking at today’s Freehold card from a superfecta standpoint. I’m going to feature five (5) horses in each race.
I’m going to work my way inside-out here: #1 Absolutely Michael fits here in this company; yet I must admit that a driver with a UDR below “The Mendoza Line” (baseball talk: .200) doesn’t exactly excite or inspire me. However, there is a degree of back-class and an improved starting post. In a race that is nuthin to write home about this Artsplace-bred gelding can hit the tote. #2 Youth Uprising also draws an improved starting post and the services of one of the better Freehold reinsmen, Steve Smith. Another gelding who might grace the tote. The lightly-raced #3 Sharp Escape with Jim Marshall III is a horse who might add value to a super if he can finish up a gimmick. #4 Harry’s Turn has admittedly done nothing in his seven starts this year; yet this race offers a possible wake-up call. If he pops, it would add value to your ticket. I’d take notice as to how the gelding is bet. Is he taking action? Finally, #7 Artacus. Will he or won’t he leave, only his driver and trainer know. If he leaves, he can become “a player; if he doesn’t, I don’t put as much stock in his chances.
