Spot Plays for MVRC 1-25-16:

Race 2: #1A Tico Thunder: Interesting bunch of 3 year old Ohio Bred MSW's. Tico has the most experience and might be ready to get his picture taken. He finished strongly last race to finish 2nd and has a nice work since.
#3 Sun Hill.1st time starter for a barn that has done well with a small stable. He has two 6 furlong works at Turfway in the last month. Today's race is only 5 1/2 so he should be ready to go.
#8 Skip Royale. Ran 4th in a Stakes at Belterra last Summer. Has 2 3rds against MSW's.
#2 Buckeye Brown. A horse to watch for in the future. A son of Big Brown a rare thing to see in Ohio. Dam has 8 winners from 9 foals.

Race 8: #6 Prince Harlan. The 8th race is usually a tough call at MVR. Prince ran down NW2L in style last out. No reason he can't beat NW3L for hot combo of Leon/Iniro.
#8 Lord of the Light. Giglio having a great meet winning at a 41% clip so far. Have to worry about the 6 furlongs today however. Speed has held well so he might forget to stop.
#12 Peach Schnapps. Failed as chalk 4 times in a row here. Will get bet again by the locals who love the name. 6 furlongs also a problem.

Good Luck

Very challenging but fun card at Mahoning Valley today. I'm glad that Ron straightened out race 8. I am still scratching my head but anxious to see how it plays out.

Ramblings aren't always wagers.

ALERT: Rising temperatures could create a quirky, thawing race track if the sun breaks out this afternoon in Austitown, Ohio.

Race 1 - #2 GDANSK overpowered several of these 06Jan to be clearly much "the best of the rest" when run down late; cutback helps; Team Pappada has been sending out runners. Rodney Faulkner's pair adds some back class to the mix; #1A (PP8) GULPORT WEEKEND rallied along the rail last time. #6 GENEVA LAKE gets a major jock switch -

Race 2 - #1A (POE, PP8) TICO THUNDER was all business when set down late last time to nip LUKEYONTHELOOSE who returned to dust several of theses 11Jan. #8 (PP9) SKIP ROYALE should improve second off a layoff for Robert Gorham -

Race 3 - Forgive #6 (PP7) LA NINA BRONCA for a tough loss to solid open milers last time; meets Ohio company today. Slick going this afternoon would give #3 LAVA ROCKS a chance to skip home on the lead. #1 (POE, PP1) RIVER CITY GIRL took down tough CHAIN YANKER in December -

Race 4 - #8 PETER'S CREEK wove through traffic on a tough day to make up ground behind #7 DON'T WASTE MY TIME gets in here on a technicality having been DQ'd in October; abundance of speed will be a challenge. Another old timer #5 TACKY ANGEL switches to Dean Sarvis -

Race 5 - #1 (POE, PP8) LITTLE MISS MORGAN needed last; well posted; entrymate doubles chances in WIDE OPEN race. #2 (PP1) HILL'S OF GOLD returns to realistic level; must go early from tough post position. #4 (PP3) OUR EYE CANDY off show effort behind good company; lasting is an issue for this lady -

Race 6 - Repeating is tough but #10 LIME DROP KID appears the purest router in this line-up; an under achiever for his breeding MVR could be his sweet spot. Suspiciously lightly raced and laid up since joining Elliot Sullivan's barn #8 PARKTOWN is lots of horse when right; shows numerous evenly spaced local work outs. Back from a freshening #2 EL CHIVO VIEJO fits with these; on the rise Joe Poole is clicking at 31% in 2016 -

Race 7 - Head to head match-ups favor #6 SEATTLE PRINCE off a lackluster effort in a bulky field on a freaky surface 05Jan; Samuel Bermudez takes the reigns. It must be comeback day in the Sullivan barn #4 ALTERNATIVE returns after an abbreviated 2015 campaign; best distance -

Race 8 - The finale at MVR is typically an adventure. Past performance logic isn't always the solution to nailing the winner; today several top barns face off with interesting sprinters: #6 PRINCE HARLAN might eat up the added distance; Inerio/Leon 50% winners. #8 LORD OF LIGHT gets fits jump; sharp since discovering this surface; Dominic Giglio Jr. has won with 4 of his last 9 runners. #11 PEACH SCHNAPPS was still running late 29Dec; can get more ground. #9 IM MR RIGHT running style fits this distance. Paddock decision -

I'll pat Gib and The Postman on the back for 1-25 picks. If you keyed top pick in Race 2 spot play you hit the exacta, tri and super. Gib had 3 of 4 in the pick 4 with his top picks. The Postman added an obvious contender #4 Our Eye Candy to his ticket and cashed the pick 4.
