9th @Mountaineer: 6f Clm5000N2X ~ purse $6,200 ~ 7/21
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3YO+Up, non-winners of two races lifetime.
(WV-Bred races not considered in eligibility)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One isn't the loneliest number in closer! One Dropdown,
One Cutback, ONE JBM,& potentially ONE Lone Speed!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Indymoodforlovin (10/1 ML)- 3YO Closer broke maiden at mile.
Best used under as Tri/Super filler.
2) Ultimate Gaucho (8/1)- 6YO returned from 22-month vacation
running. Looks LONE SPEED, but jock Ortiz doesn't stick around to ride.
3) Wigginton (5/1)- JBM looked good dusting weak bunch on private
purchase. Could be threat with move forward, but IMO underlay @ML odds.
4) Hurricane Bob (20/1)- One OK effort in seven local 2015 tries.
BCS as Super/Super-Hi-5 filler.
5) Favorite Pastime (5/1)- 4YO cuts back 440 yards after a dull
local debut. Solid 2nd behind 2/5 fave two back. Could improve.
6) Seattle Brook (12/1)- Private Purchase by Low% connections
seldom winning angle. Can't endorse 4YO, but may be 'target speed'.
7) Clever Missile (20/1)- 5YO goes 2nd off Layoff/Private Purchase.
Broke maiden 20 starts ago, shown little since.
8) Big Bubba (9/2)- Prominent in all six local starts, but 5YO has
failed to seal the deal late. Must-use in Verticals, shaky on Win end.
9) Dolce Lusso (6/1)- WV-Bred took #TheNesteaPlunge off long
layoff, failed to respond. 2-time winner eligible due to loophole, but
both wins were on turf, many moons ago.
10) Mark of Fang (3/1 ML Fave)- Fang bit backers with dull try
as 4/5 fave behind Bubba. 5YO got frequent flier miles in last year,
going from Suffolk to Timonium to DelMar to GoldenGate to Mountain.
Best Beyers by Bunch, but Fang's scary to trust as fave.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EARLY LOOK: When i see a horse that has a pace advantage
drawing a cozy post and listed as 8/1ML, i'm SOLD AMERICAN!
#2-Ultimate Gaucho has PPs that hardly impress, but faces weak bunch
including ML Fave with no early lick & a spotty worktab.
Second choice ML, #8 fits, but has pulled defeat form the jaws of victory
too often for my liking.
Co-third choices in ML @5/1, #'s 3+5, look like only other win candidates,
& i'm OK letting them try to beat me.
#'s 1-4-9 could provide value in Tri/Super/Super-Hi-5 wagers.
GOOD LUCK to ALL, & See You at #NightSchool!

8th @Mountaineer: 1Mile (8F) Clm5000N4X ~ purse $6,500 ~ 7/21
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3YO+Up, non-winners of 4 races lifetime.
(WV-Bred races not considered in eligibility)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two Entries. Two runners step up off N3L wins. Two stretchout 550 yards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Heroic Act (2/1ML,POE)- Got N3L win via DQ, IMO looked like
the 4YO was never going by. Best Beyers back at Oakawn/Remington.
2) Rock the Red (6/5 ML Fave,POE)- 7YO crushed two back, but
beaten by Bud Matic (now 4/50) in last (bounce?). Speed half of entry.
2B) Seldom Seen Slim (6/5,POE)- Returns from Presque Isle, 4YO
has three strong local efforts, & looks the goods.
3) Golden Shiner (5/2)- 4YO closer has four good races here, steps
up while losing jock Lagunes. Gets right pace set-up.
4) Meehan (15/1)- Rank outsider is other sprint-2-route runner.
Dam's two foals have only been successful sprinting thus far. Pass.
5) Slap Shot (8/1)- Proven Mudlark yet to win on fast track. Draws
post allowing rider to judge early tempo. Has N4L seasoning edge,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EARLY LOOK: Entries likely anchor +70% of Pick4/5 tickets.
IMO, only #4 looks like an EZ-Toss, yet to run fast enough to win.
I'm slightly against the #1 entry & #4 on class raise/stretchout.
I will go Two Deep in Horizontals,
using the #2 entry & #5, or Buy the Leg if i can afford it.
Also, i'll Start a $3 Late DD, (5)(5-8-10)=$6.
Good Luck to ALL, & See You at #NightSchool!
