Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
1,2,4,6,9 with 1,3 with 4,7 with 3,5 = $40
Race 1
(1) AMERICANGENERATION gets the best post dropping in class. (6) T T TUCKER raced really well last start on the fair circuit. (2) DETAILER should be in line for an excellent trip up close.
Race 2
In a really weak and inconsistent field, (4) FUTOMAKI has shown decent bursts of speed in two straight. (3) D GS SUAVEMENTE has yet to win on the year but was close at this level two back. (5) SHADOW ME THEMONEY has just been racing evenly; command a price.
Race 3
(2) MAYFAIR KATE will offer a good price bumping up in class looking to make it three straight. (3) GUTH has some question marks coming off a scratch and a dull effort, however the 6-year-old owns wins against much better on the year. (5) NEELY'S MESSENGER has yet to win on the year and looks to offer low value; use caution.
Race 4
In an evenly matched race, (1) BOB'S IDEAL gets the best post and has been competitive against tougher. (2) CELESTIAL DREAMS gets a huge morning line coming off an impressive wire to wire win. (4) ALOHA JOHN has just been racing evenly but finds a very weak field.
Race 5
(7) SOUTHWIND TOSCANO well bred colt might be able to get the jump on the field even from the outside. (9) JESSIE STAR gets a negative driver change but just missed at this level last week. (8) IN CHARGE lightly raced 3-year-old has some upside but has his work cut out from the eight-hole.
Race 6
(1) BORN TO ROCKN ROLL should be in line for an easier trip this week from the rail. (4) SUGARSAM gets sent out for a hot barn. (2) AIRGUITAR ROCKSTAR went a big three quarters of a mile last week. If the pacer can ration out his speed he can hit the ticket.
Race 7
(2) ITS A HORSE has room to improve third start out in a new barn. (1) SHELOVESUMORE finds a really soft field starting from the best post. (4) DEEP QUESTION is probably the fastest trotter in the field but has breaking issues; use caution.
Race 8
(1) HICKORY TERRFIC owns decent gate speed and can cash with a smooth trip. (9) MORELAND FLASH shows some big efforts against similar. (2) NASHVILLE BOUND should be much closer turning for home against slightly weaker.
Race 9
(1) GRANDKIDS ATTACK burned cash at this level last week but might get an easy early lead. (3) PV DRAGON raced huge last out on the fair circuit beating a very nice horse. (2) THISONEANDONEMORE should probably be used underneath bumping up in class.
Race 10
(4) LITTLE BIG RIGS can beat this group with a good effort; fires early. (7) DEW IN THE DESERT is probably the horse to beat but needs to navigate a tough starting post. (2) DEWEYBELIEVENHOWE has yet to win in eighteen career starts; use underneath.
Race 11
(5) VERBAL ASSAULT paced a decent mile against better last week; versatile. (3) ARIZONA DAWN should have had more last week but can score with a smooth trip. (6) TWIN B HOLLISTER has just been racing evenly; command a price.
Race 12
(1) VEGAS SECRET gets the best post dropping in class. (5) HEZATRAIN can hit the ticket at a price with a fast pace to close into. (4) W W shows some competitive efforts against better at this track.
Race 13
(1) SOMEKINDAWONDERFUL just missed against better last week. (5) TRILLIONAIR gets sent out first start for a hot barn. (6) CATERA GUN lightly raced pacer has been improving; threat.
Race 14
(6) ZOLENA will look to drop and pop down in class. (7) HES AN AMERICAN shows good efforts against tougher. (4) DREAM ROCKER doesn't look the best on paper but was solid in the qualifier.
Race 15
(1) TERRY'S GIRL gets sent out for new connections against weaker. (6) SKYLA BLU trotting bred pacer has an impeccable pedigree and lots of room to improve. (5) MISS BLING just missed at this level last week.
