After posting three successful cards in a row, I'll try for one more.
Race 1: #4 Upfront Hannahsboy- Made a winning move in last but was reeled in late by the ultra-sharp Valentowner. I do not see the quality in this field to make him work hard enough for the latter to catch him today.
Race 2: #7 Stately's Hoss- Red hot, having won 4 in a row. Don't see what prevents him from getting his 5th here.
Race 7: Exacta Box 1 and 3. #1 Pedro Island is a very nice racehorse making second start off a layoff. Should be very tough in second start. #3 Red Hot Scandal went 1st over against the very good Jojo N Goliath in last and lived to tell about it.
Race 9: Too complicated to give a full reasoning, but I like a trifecta play here, which is: 2,4,7,8/2,4,7,8/1,2,4,7,8. This is $72 for a $2 punch.
Race 10: #1 Barrymore- Last raced on the April 9th track which was unusual in that it turned much slower as the races went along. Had this race gone earlier in the card, it may well have been sub- 1:58. Goldberg very good off claim and the Goldberg/Ledford combination has resulted in 6 wins from 8 drives this year.
Race 13: Absolutely a two-horse affair with #3 Totally Empresive shipping in from a Woodbine series for Burke and #5 Go Get Em second over the track for McDermott, who is subbing here for Erv Miller. The question is how to play the race. Palone no doubt had his choice of drives and I think he made the right choice. Let's play a cold exacta 5 - 3.
