Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
1,2 / 2,9 / 3,7,9 / 2,9 = $24
Race 1
(3) CRAZY EYES won the qualifier easy and will offer a decent price in a field with few contenders. (2) ABOVE THE LAW mare has burned cash at this level in four straight; use caution. (1) SON OFA SPUR veteran trotter gets the best post in a weak and inconsistent field.
Race 2
(9) SWEET HONEY sophomore trotter is the best in the race if he minds his manners. (6) BANDS VERITY trotting mare has room to improve third start out for new connections. (1) JAMES KENNY owns a win at this level and gets the best post.
Race 3
In a tough race to gauge, (5) BOY IM GORGEOUS will look to make it two straight against similar. (1) BUSTER BROWNIE scored a good win from off the pace last week; threat. (2) ROCKIN TO THE MOON was much improved last out against this same bunch.
Race 4
(6) CRAZOLO well bred gelding needed his last start off a long layoff and should be sharper this week. (9) EMILENE'S FUTURE will look to make it three straight but faces much tougher. (3) DOC BOYCE is fast enough to hit the ticket with a good setup; command a price.
Race 5
(2) ONE GUITAR picks up a positive driver change and is one of few in the race with upside. (1) BB RADAR owns one lifetime win but gets the best post. (3) ROSE RUN SALLY lightly raced filly gets sent out first start for new connections.
Race 6
(2) ZOLENA has just been racing evenly but has been competitive against much tougher on the year. (1) MUSCLE ON BROADWAY gets the best post dropping in class. (3) TEAM ZORDIN has hit the board in two straight.
Race 7
(5) ABERARDER MAX gets sent out for an inconsistent barn but is capable with a good effort. (1) MCARTIC OCEAN is just now back in racing shape and takes a huge drop down in class. (8) STAND TALL picks up the top driver off a decent race.
Race 8
(2) GRANDKIDS ATTACK might be able to handle the class hike with another good effort. (1) WIT AND WISDOM has just been racing evenly at this level but should benefit from the rail. (9) PASS THE DEUCE is probably the fastest horse in the field but is getting sent out for a three percent driver; use underneath.
Race 9
(2) RUDE BOY faces weaker and will be much closer turning for home. (9) TWIN B HOLLISTER was sharp off the layoff last start and has plenty of room to improve. (4) UNADORNED HANOVER could hit the ticket at a price but is best used underneath with the provisional pilot.
Race 10
(7) HOLYHOLYGUACAMOLIE has a ton of ability and can win if he stays trotting. (3) MARATHON MAN dominated a weaker bunch last out; fires early. (9) ROSE RUN QUASAR trotting mare gets sent out first start for new connections and made the most money in the field last year.
Race 11
(2) DEFTONES was an easy winner when last seen at this level. (9) ART'S DELIGHT gets sent out for top connections against a suspect bunch. (1) IWILLDOWHATIDO hasn't threatened against weaker in his last few; use underneath.
Race 12
(3) STRIKE IT BIG made a miscue last start at this level. The 6-year-old is just now back in racing shape after more than a few years off. (1) AWESOMELY AWESOME has no excuses burning cash in his last two; use caution. (7) LION IMAGE might be ready to pop at a price with a good setup.
Race 13
(4) SUGARSAM gets sent out first start for a new barn against much weaker. (6) JUDE HALL doesn't win often but is capable of a good brush when timed right. (3) PACE SEELSTER has just been racing evenly; command a price.
Race 14
(9) OH PLEASE has burned cash in two straight but finds a really soft bunch. (5) MR BLITZ has been close against similar. (2) MR FIX IT ELWOOD was a game winner at this level two back.
Race 15
(6) LOGAN COUNTY RALPH is very inconsistent from week to week but can win with a trouble-free trip. (9) JJ'S KEN has just been racing evenly but should be in a decent position to save some ground before shaking loose late. (2) DOWN N DIRTY had very little to offer last start; use caution.
Race 16
(2) CLEM just missed putting in a huge effort last start against better. (1) BETTOR'S DESTINY should be in a much better position turning for home this week. (3) CLOWN'S SMILE thirteen-year-old was much improved first start out for new connections.
