Northfield: Wednesday 6/17 Analysis + Pick Four ticket
Race 8 - $10,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Ticket:
1,6,9 / 1,3 / 1,4 / 7 = $12
Best Bet: SAND ROYAL BLU (11th)
Spot Play: MYSTERY RINGER (14th)
Race 1
(3) CALLIT AS U SEEIT went a big half mile last out before fading badly. If the filly trotter can ration out her speed she has a shot. (2) LIKES TO FLIRT owns some ability and gets post relief. (6) LOFTY CHIP could be primed for a better effort second start off the bench.

Race 2
(3) WHATA PACIFIC gelding adds second time lasix off a nice victory at this level. (2) BROOKLETS BLISS had a perfect pocket ride behind the top choice last out and couldn't make up any ground; use underneath. (9) SOMEONECALLTHEPOPO is one of few in the race with a win on the year; threat.
Race 3
(6) LULA'S LIL SWEETIE mare has really turned it around this year and looks to have more in the tank. (3) EL CERRITO PLACE gets a much better starting spot. The mare is 0 for her career but has been knocking on the door in recent. (1) BUSY CORNERS ROSE needs to stay trotting for a chance to hit the ticket.
Race 4
In a tough race to gauge, (6) ROCKY MY BOY will offer a monster price and is one of few in the race who's shown a decent burst of speed. (9) EARLYMORNINARRIVAL is 0 for 20 on the year but faces a weak bunch. (3) CUSTOM MADE has just been racing evenly; command a price.
Race 5
(2) TROT ON WATER nine-year-old gelding just missed at this level last out and could be in line for another ideal trip up close. (7) STIRLING BOUDICA beat this same bunch last week from the worst starting position. (4) STURDY'S BABY usually offers low value and has been unreliable; use caution.
Race 6
(4) COUNT FULL MAC if the 4-year-old stays trotting its lights out. (3) LU'S NEELY raced well last start racing gamely. (6) SARKIN HANOVER will look to make it two straight but will need more.
Race 7
(6) THREESOCKSNGO has started to blossom winning two straight. The pacer has some upside and just needs to work out a smooth trip. (9) DOLORD lightly raced 4-year-old is one of few threats in the race and has room to improve. (2) GOOD BY ALIBUYE pacer makes his third start for a new trainer and has shown steady improvement.
Race 8
In a field full of question marks, (9) CLAYTON MORRIS looks terrible on paper but when right is capable of pacing a decent mile. (6) J F COOKIN should be another big price and has been competitive against better. (1) TIDEWATER TOMCAT pacer picks up the top driver with the best post.
Race 9
(3) DUNKS BROTHER will offer the better price of the contenders; fires early. (1) HOORAY FOR WILLIE has yet to win on the year but finds a weak and inconsistent field. (2) REGAL GLIDE has room to improve off of a decent qualifier.
Race 10
(4) FOLLOW THROUGH takes a significant drop in class and just needs a smooth trip to cash. (1) CAN REPEAT picks up a huge driver change with the best post. (5) DANNY'S MAN rarely wins but has been pacing faster than most of the field.
Race 11
(7) SAND ROYAL BLU just needs to stay trotting for a victory down in class. (1) NEELY'S BOY gets big time post relief but will need more should the top choice mind his manners. (5) LINUS B WORTHY could have some of the kinks worked out after a nice qualifier.
Race 12
(3) BLUE JACKET LUKE looks to be the horse to beat in the series coming off a dominating victory. (9) NORTHERN CONE is probably the only threat to the top choice but is up against it starting from the second tier. (1) SAMMY DE VIE three-year-old trotter has more than what he shows on paper.
Race 13
In a wide open and evenly matched race, (5) KJ'S FOXY LADY made the most money in the field last year and could be ready for an improved effort second start at this level. (2) HULA LU closed a ton of ground late last out; threat. (7) WYGANT BELLE just needs to find a way into the race for a chance to hit the ticket.
Race 14
(1) MYSTERY RINGER is just now back in racing shape and has room to improve. (2) LETS JUST DANCE drops in class second start back off a long layoff; threat. (5) SON OF A SPUR has racked up wins at this level in previous seasons.
Race 15
(8) RELLA ON ATTACK has not won in a very long time. The pacer needs to find a way into the race for a shot to hit the ticket late. (5) DRAGON SPIKE gelding gets sent out for the top trainer and should offer a better price than his last few. (4) UCAN CALL ME REI should be closer turning for home against a suspect bunch.
