Good Luck Teach

race1 I like the looks of the :5: and is a big price. Zito has been a little inconsistent, but I think he will be ready 1st out. Just a hunch. Looks like the type he brings over to Parx, but this one has the NY Bred status$$.

:3::7: both look solid as well.
I liked the 1 in the paddock, but not so much on track.

Nice Call in race 1 with your top pick.

r2 I'm going against the 6 here. Good effort last but not so much that he lost the duel in good company, but that he shortened stride late after the duel.

:4: ought to be in the money.
:1: should be tough and may get a great trip behind the speed with Castellano...
6or7 could complete. :7: Dominguez gets 2nd chance pressing from outside today...


Race Two:

:6: Little Nick: 14/17(82%) in-money at distance up-and-coming W. Garcia

:1: Evacuation Route: Threat here; closing in stretch; Javier Castellano

:3: Departures: Might surprise; two-straight; tote, last four. Rajiv Maragh

#7 Ziptronic: Ramon Dominguez; should benefit from outside post; factor.

:2: The Roofer: Main threat; second start off layoff; should take to grass

:7: Bold And Ready: Has turf pedigree; Eddie Castro for George Weaver

#1 Counting Days: Might surprise; sold morning worktab; Merrill Scherer

agree with :3::2:

:4::8: both look good on the track but quit badly. This could be a paid work for either 4or8 if neither gets a lucky break.

great work keep it up ty
