Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
1,2,6 with 3,4,9 with 1 with 3,4,5 = $27
Race 1
(6) SKYWAY JAGUAR will likely off the best price of the contenders; threat. (1) YO YO MASS four-year-old trotter gets sent out for capable connections against a very weak field. (3) FORT COMMANDER shows good efforts against slightly better.
Race 2
(5) FORABBER YOUNG gelding is 0 for his career but has been knocking on the door and now adds lasix. (2) WOOD HUNTER should be better with a start over the track. (3) DIGGITY DOG finds a weak field full of question marks.
Race 3
(5) MISS RIGS filly looks to have more ability than most of the field. (2) NOW HELEN is probably the only threat to the top choice with a smooth trip. (1) SPARKLING COMET adds first-time Lasix with the best post.
Race 4
(1) PUGILIST BLUE CHIP raced well at this level off the layoff last start. (4) ROCKING THE GOLD has burned cash in two straight but gets sent out for a capable barn. (9) DACOR PRINCESS was close last week against similar.
Race 5
(9) DETAILER takes a significant drop in class and will offer a nice big price. (2) MOONTAN just missed racing gamely at this level last week. (1) MR LUCKY LUKE probably needs a start but was solid in the qualifier.
Race 6
(9) GIUSEPPE MOLLUSCA has been competitive against better on the year. (2) SHOOBY SAID well bred 6-year-old finished with some life late last week. (3) MCCOVEY rarely wins but could pick up the pieces in the right scenario.
Race 7
(6) BOBBY ONE MILE raced decent from a tough spot last week. (2) HERE'S JOLENE should be in line for a decent trip up close. (1) TARTUFO LINDY appears to be going in the wrong direction and will offer a short price.
Race 8
In a really weak field, (6) GORGEOUS VIEW owns a recent win at this level and picks up a top driver. (1) RD DONETHAT gets the best post and has hit the board in three of four. (2) CENOVIS has yet to win on the year and looks to offer low value; use caution.
Race 9
(6) DANISH DESIGN takes a significant drop in class; first-time Lasix. (9) DARRON HALL is more than capable with a trouble-free trip. (3) UNCLE LEROY owns good speed off the gate which could put the 5-year-old close turning for home.
Race 10
(1) TWIN B STINGRAY takes a huge drop down with the best starting post. (7) LANCASTER PARK needs to find a way into the race but is probably the only threat to the favorite. (8) KEYSTONE MEMPHIS needs racing luck to hit the ticket; use underneath.
Race 11
(4) FELONA never was able to get into the race last start but that could change with the better post this week. (3) EAST TO CINCY set a lifetime mark last out against similar. (5) COWBOY COUNTRY has finished first or second in three of the last four starts.
Race 12
(6) SAMMY SAID comes into the race off a three month layoff but was sharp in the qualifier. (8) REAL KNOCKOUT has room to improve third start back. (1) KNIGHT SKY gets the best post in a weak and inconsistent field.
Race 13
(1) HIGH COURAGE N takes a huge drop down against weaker. (4) WIT AND WISDOM had some sneaky late pace last week against similar. (2) CEE PEE PANIC should be in line for a ground saving trip up close.
Race 14
(2) JETZILLA romped home last week against softer. The lightly raced 8-year-old might have more in the tank. (4) NINETIETH MINUTE went a huge three quarters of a mile last week and held on late. (1) FATHER JULIO gelding doesn't look the best on paper but is capable if he minds his manners.
Race 15
(4) KINGOFTHEREIGNS the effort two back would be enough. (2) JAKE'S SANTANA gets sent out against weaker in a new barn. (3) LOVELY FEELIN has flashed a decent burst of speed but has lacked late stamina.
Race 16
(4) WALK FROM HEAVEN drops in for a tag picking up a top driver. (2) ART OF NORMA adds first time lasix and owns a win at this level two back. (5) POWERFUL SERMON might be ready for an improved effort third start back off the layoff.
