Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
3,4,5,9 with 2,5,6 with 6 with 1,2 = $24
Race 1
(9) SEAL SNIPER lightly raced 2-year-old faces older but is one of few in the race with some upside. (1) ONE SHARP BULLET draws the best starting post in a really weak field. (4) MS CARNOUSTIE hit the board in two of three at this level before the miscue.
Race 2
(5) JED KIDD SQUAKING is 0 for 29 on the year, however the pacer has been competitive against slightly better. (4) TEST OF WILL will offer good value and can hit the ticket with a trouble-free trip. (2) COWBOY COP just missed last week against similar.
Race 3
(7) PERFECT TRIP seven-year-old could have gained some confidence after a maiden breaking score on the fair circuit; threat. (1) ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE should be in line for a ground-saving trip up close. (5) TARTUFO LINDY has really regressed on the year; use caution.
Race 4
In a weak and inconsistent field, (4) STANDING PROUD almost beat a better bunch two back. (6) REAL IMAGE gelding shows some decent efforts over the track back in May and probably needed his last start. (1) WYATT HENRY has just been racing evenly but fits in with this bunch nicely.
Race 5
(7) JESSIE'S MISSION dominated a similar group last week and will offer good value. (1) JETZILLA could be vulnerable at a short price if pushed early. (5) HILLBILLY BERT has finished second in five straight.
Race 6
(5) RED RIVER ROCKY lightly raced 2-year-old gets sent out for top connections off an easy win at this level. (4) CALEB LOU might be the only threat to the top choice but is one for seventeen on the season. (6) MEETTHEDRAGON has shown some recent signs of life in three straight but would need much more to get past the top choice.
Race 7
(5) EIGHTOCLOCKSTORM three-year-old might have all the kinks worked out after an impressive victory last start. (1) INDIANA ANAMEGO has lots of room to improve third start back off the long layoff. (3) FATHER JULIO was improved for the new barn last week and keeps a top driver.
Race 8
(3) JUXLIVIN MY DREAM takes a significant drop in class against much weaker. (4) LIBRADO HANOVER shows two recent seconds at this level. (5) STIRLING CADILLAC is just now back in racing shape and will offer a big price coming off a nice effort.
Race 9
(6) CURLYS SON just missed at this level last week racing gamely. (5) GWALLY picks up a top driver and his hit the board in three straight. (2) NO WHIP CHIP should be much closer tuning for home this week against softer.
Race 10
(6) ROCK ON CREEK sophomore pacer is a trouble-free trip away from cashing. (3) STANLEY K was huge last week at this level being used multiple times. (4) HOLLYROCK HEYDEN could be dangerous with an easy early lead.
Race 11
(2) CHEER THE STORM shows good efforts against better and looks to offer a nice price. (1) MAN SHES HOT set a lifetime mark last week drawing off late. (6) BOX OF LUCK has room to improve second start out for a new trainer.
Race 12
(1) ROCKS AND THINGS lightly race 3-year-old is very fast and draws the best post against a really weak field. (9) SHELDON HANOVER should have room to improve with a start over the track. (8) SAND SCHOONER two-year-old faces older and needs to find a way into the race; use underneath.
Race 13
(3) WESTERN ALUMNI well bred pacer was the driver's choice and finds a soft spot down in class. (5) DANISHDUJOUR showed good closing ability against similar two back. (9) TYE SEELSTER needs to work out a trip from the second tier but has been competitive at this level.
Race 14
(3) KIRTY DREAM eleven-year-old owns tons of back class on this bunch when right. (6) ROSE RUN OSCAR takes a huge drop in class against easier. (2) UPFRONT CHIP DADDY has burned cash in three straight and now bumps up a notch; use underneath.
Race 15
(9) DANGER STRIKE will likely offer the better price of the contenders. (1) BAR B CUTE three-year-old filly made a miscue last week but is probably the horse to beat if she minds her manners. (5) TENWILLGETUTWENTY has lots of room to improve second start out for a capable barn.
Race 16
(2) CLASSIC GENT veteran pacer will be used aggressively racing down in class. (1) GLEN EAGLES should be in line for another good trip up close. (3) GOLDSTAR RAIDER put in a really nice effort three back.
