Sorry. No opinion. I avoid that track like the plague --unless there is a ship in of a horse I have been following.

Driver choice is far from a magic bullet, so fret not about that angle.

He's a solid class 85 winner but this is tougher, 90. Hard to be 'bullish' on 62 yo Keith Torro

I like your Exbox might go 3 box with the 6 (4-5-6)

Two long shot 3 (13-1) & 1 (40-1) got it and paid $319.80
We can only settle for 3rd and 4th.. LOL

Box 3 should get 1 of them on the board???....guess not.

I was going to go with this one, picked 3rd by the Morning Line,
but after looking at the program he'll be 1/9...

I'll give this 6yo pacing mare a Mulligan in last race (bled?). Crowd noticed her class drop on May 15 and bet her down to 4/1. Gets 1x Lasix today. It will be sloppy and she's just so-so on the off-track, (42% OTB) Tetrick drives the best mudder,#7 (73% OTB) and a definite contending long shot at 12/1

At first blush, the BigM on Friday looks like chalk heaven. But under closer scrutiny I see some sub-even money favorites who might have longshot competition.

Race 1 -- Another Dave Brower qualifier miss might produce a longshot here. (4) ROSESAREEXPLOSIVE 10-1 has a charted break in the qualifier. Brower adds to the mistake by acknowledging the break in his program analysis. The fact is, the filly broke because the horse in front of her broke. It was clearly an interference break. Of course, this does not guarantee that this 3yo filly trotter making her first start of the year will stay flat, but based on her 2yo form, and Tetrick staying with her over two other choices, the value is there over the obvious favorites, 1 and 6.

Race 2 -- May be looking at 1-9 on 3yog (6) EVERY WAY OUT. It sure looked like Tetrick was looking over at Miller and laughing as he went by easily -- and this is exactly the same field. If all odds were equal, you would bet the 6 with both hands. But (5) PRAIRIE MCDREAMY (5) sure had a lot of pace from way back and the price is right. And can Miller's horse (2) DEO GALILEO improve enough in his third start to turn the tables?

If the 1-6 double comes in, it will pay less than $4.


Race 5 -- Another big fave (8) GLITZY GAL who won for fun. However, Svansdedt actually pulled the pocket early with (1) ICE ATTRACTION as if he thought he could beat ARIANA G last week. She broke. Two other longshots are not ridiculous in the race (5) DREAM BABY DREAM (10-1) loaded with trot getting out late last week and (6) EVELYN (12-1) who was a personal fave of mine last year and was short in her first start. Again, a big fave to try to beat.

Race 6 -- Another potential 1-9 shot looms. It is (2) WHAT THE HILL. (1) KING OF THE HILL was backing up against him BEFORE he broke last week. Does that make him a value throwout for the $4 exacta. Maybe. But this week he adds lasix, and more importantly, adds Brian Sears. Let's see where the value lies.

Don't like either of your Big M horses. But the horse I like in the 9th are the two faves (1) and (3) so you get some value. And I think your "longshot" in the 10th will be overbet. Looking at 2, 4 or 5.

You ARE Mr. Best Bet. Yes, I did play the 2 in the last race as he finished off a $56 double and a $41 pick-3. I missed the late pick-4.

Hopefully some of you heeded my early numbers as the $800 pick-5 did not take many combos to hit. As mentioned, ICE ATTRACTION was well meant in her last race against ARIANA G, and with that great filly not in this race, IA won for fun. The 7-1 win price was the longest price winner in the pick-5.

Meanwhile IA was the third leg of the $87 pick-4. and the second leg of an amazingly priced $224 pick-3 despite a 1-9 winner in the last leg. You simply never know what payoffs will be with horizontal bets.

And now its time to look at tonight's card.

Most of the data I collect is on horses that I have picked/bet to win.
I don't have info such as what happened to Stratton in a race where I didn't pick him,
that would require complete charts which I refuse to buy.
