Mountaineer-Tues. Pick-5

[BombsAway Bob]

My #QuickLook analysis is "TOO LARGE for TWITTER!"
Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort
MOUNTAINEER~ 1st post 7PMet
Sadly, only 8 cards remain in Mountaineer 2016 meet, but tonight's Pick-5 sequence has QUALITY for handicappers to study.
Most Mountain cards are chock-full of time-condition Nickle claimers & bottom-level maiden races, but not tonight's Pick-5!...
5th:Sequence starts with an N4x Allowance, Mile & 70y.
Four of Six in the field go T-2-D. Most tickets will key 3/5ML #6-Skyluck, for Reed/Jamgotchian,
but I'm also interested in Reed's other steed, 10/1ml #3-CountrySunshine, whose Laurel dirt efforts in late 2015 fit well here.
6th: Mountain's Two Furlong "Oddball Claiming" races have been changed to "Starter Allowances" in 2016,
but either way, Kevin's Patterson entry will go off lower than 1/2ml if both meet the starter.
I'm married to #2-It'sapossibility, who loves rail @2F, so I'll use both #1/2 in my P-5
7th: Wide-open F&M Allowance @6F has a pair of entries,but the 4/5ml duo trained by Eliot Sullivan look tough.
IMO #3-LakePonchatrain is a Must-use, and also #6-Cleo'sKrewe w/Deshawn Parker.
8th: ANOTHER No-condition Allowance @6F,but this one's for the boys,(Scr.#4).
There's a 7/5ML entry,& only #5-Nopalito looks in deep of the four-pack. Like the song, "it's as EZ as 1-2-3".
9th: Pick-5 sequence ends with a field of nine (Scr.#7) going 6F in search their of 4th lifetime win.
2/1ml #9-BritishAgent (1st-time locally for Helms/Clouston/Parker) is a likely single in +50% Pick-5 tickets,& a must-use,
looks to be catching a soft pace scenario. #2-ElDiscreto steps up off a nifty N3L win, & #3-LuckyLJ is a shipper to fear.
Before late changes (& checking for any track bias in first 4 races)
My expensive 'Caveman' ticket looks like this:
"THE MOTO SPECIAL"~
$.50 Pick-5: (3,6)w(1,2)w(2,3,6)w(1,2,3)w(2,3,9)=$54

Hey now....I was embarrassed after last weeks Northfield Nightmare. Have not pocked up a N'field program since. Do much better in WV....but after they close mtneer and before Sam Houston opens...not sure what I'll do. May have to follow Peter Berry to Louisiana.

to bad Parker has a conflict of interest in Ohio (his father is a steward) he would be in Youngstown in the afternoon.

Race 5...Agree with Bob above,,,,Reed holds the cards ( and my P4)

#3 Country Sunshine.....Ridiculous ML and may as good if not better than her 3-5 entrymate
#6 SkyLuck....back on the main,,,if one of these two Reed horses don't win there ought to be an investigation

P5 36/1a/2/23/9

in the 6th race ROMAN OFFICER should get the job done his second time going 440. he is a classy horse that has run against some very tough ones. 1/2-3/5 not bad for him.

And in NY you have 2 brothers riding together with a cousin. Amazing.

Nice selection by Nancy race 5. She is having a very good night.

Eric Reed continues to burn significant amounts of dollars with big favorites

Race 6
#1a...Unlie Eric Reed....Kevin Patterson does quite well with heavy favorites especially when he ship to the Moutain...Clean break gets him home.

And living together for many years....But you can be assured they don't speak race strategy. Likely too busy watching the voice and Dancing with the Stars.
