Top Pick Stats: 26 - 83 / $124.20 (-$41.80) Best Bets: 4 - 8 / $14.80 (-$1.20) Spot Plays: 2 - 8 / $6.30 (-$9.70) Best Bet: ALABAMA HANNAH (4TH) Spot Play: PHONE NINE ONE ONE (5TH) Early Pick 5: 1,3,4/3,6/1,6,7/8/3,8 = $7.20 Late Pick 5: 3,6/1,3,5/4,10/3,4/1,3,5 = $14.40 Pick 6: 8/3,8/3,6/1,3,5/4,10/3,4 = $9.60 Early Pick 4: 1,6,7/8/3,8/3,6 = $2.40 Late Pick 4: 4,10/3,4/1,3,5/9,10 = $4.80 Race 1: FILLIES & MARES, NW $2,500 LAST 5 STARTS OR NW $8,000 LAST 10 STARTS (W/O $12,500 LAST 10 STARTS N/E). AE: N/A $1,080 PER START IN 2024-25 (MIN 10 STARTS) **$75,000 Pick 5** (1) MYSTIC WILD ROSE was part of a wild early pace in the Pop Up final and she predictable retreated. I think she gets a more conservative drive here and she can beat these pouncing from mid pack. (4) CHEVRONS BYPASS N qualified well for this local debut, and she fits well vs. these. She attracted Borth and she would be no surprise in this spot. (3) CAUGHTSTEALINGHOME had a couple of decent efforts at London after shipping east and she gets the potent first time McNair angle; price look. (5) CORA CORA CORA is capable of better than she showed recently. She could close for a spot in the Tri or Super tonight. [DRF HARNESS: Get Harness Eye PPs for this card] Race 2: POP UP SERIES: 4 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW $20,000 OR NOT AVERAGING $1,500 PER START IN 2024 (MIN 10 STARTS). NO ALLOWANCES. LEG 1 This is a good spot for (6) BOOTS, not having to chase DA Magic Mike around the track and I could see Henry sending him right down the road; top call. (3) STEELWHEEL HANOVER gets McNair, and he is another who fits with these that will likely be leaving hard. He is the other one that I’ll use in the Pick 5. (5) IDIDITMYSHUI got stung early last time and paid the price late. I can see him being raced like he was two starts back and he is in the exotics mix. (4) B SONNY can take a share in this spot if he behaves tonight. [DRF BETS: Wager on tonight's Mohawk Park card at DRF Bets.com!] Race 3: 5 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 2 (FM 3) RACES OR $20,250 (OS $30,250) LIFETIME - Pick 4 (7) QUICKERTHANTHEYE raced well in defeat to a repeat winner, and this is a spot where he could lead all the way; top call. (6) SPIN FOR LIFE has had gait issues recently, but he showed what he can do when he behaves, winning well at this track three starts back. He is risky but capable. (1) ROYAL BELUGA made an eye-catching late move in the snow last week. The concern is his lack of gate speed to this point coupled with the rail post. I’d demand a price here. (4) P C PETERBILT took a lot of action last week then ended up racing first-over. He can sit and rally here. Race 4: FILLIES & MARES, NW $4,000 LAST 5 STARTS OR NW $13,900 LAST 10 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $30,000. AE: N/A $1,420 P/S IN 2024-25 - Pick 6 (8) ALABAMA HANNAH got a race in following a brief rest, now she drops several levels and picks up McNair. It’s go time. (5) REDLANDBETHANYJEAN raced well in the recently concluded Pop Up series. She can get a good trip racing near the front tonight. She is an Exacta factor. (7) FLIGHT CREW N raced well at this level last time in an improved effort. She can be part of the exotics again tonight. (3) LADYTERRA just took a share racing one level higher than this. She could better this placing with a good trip. Race 5: CLAIMING $20,000 TO $25,000 FOR NW $62,500 LIFETIME (8) PHONE NINE ONE ONE raced well in defeat in his local debut despite missing more than a month and he is sent out by hot connections; top call. (3) HURRIKANE CHEYENNE made a threatening move in a tougher claiming handicap last time. He is a good fit vs. these, and he is the other one that I’ll use on multi-race tickets. (5) FISCAL POLICY closed well for a share at this level last week and he figures to be part of the exotics again. (1) JJ LANDON will likely show speed from the rail and stick around for a share. Race 6: FILLIES & MARES, 5 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 3 RACES OR $63,750 (OS $92,500) LIFETIME - Pick 5 (6) GRIT N GRACE was a comfortable winner vs. most of these last week, and she gets the call to repeat that win. (3) ALLSMOKEANDMIRRORS was too far back in that mile, and she could only close for a share. She has a better chance in this short field; using. (5) ONLYTHEGOODDIYOUNG raced first up in that same race and stayed for 2nd. She should be prominent again and stay for a share. (4) MISS DUTTON took a shuffle then re-rallied for a share. She is probably a good one to use on the bottom tonight. Race 7: FILLIES & MARES, 5 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 1 RACE (WINNERS FOR A PURSE OF $9,000 OR LESS 2 RACES) OR $8,500 LIFETIME (3) PLAY PAL was put into play by McNair as predicted last week and she couldn’t last racing in the snow. Now that we know she can leave, I can see McNair finding her a trip racing near the front in this spot and she gets the nod. (5) TH SANDRA DEE took a while to get going last week, but she was visually moving well in the final 1/16th and she should be better tonight in this second start back; using. (1) SUNNYS GIRL is a debutante that improved in her second qualifier. This isn’t the toughest field. She is in with a chance. (4) AMERICAN STARLIGHT has the best recent race but that was a month ago and she is 0 for 18 lifetime. I’ll use her on the bottom. Race 8: SNOWSHOE PACING SERIES: 3 & 4 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS IN 2025. NW OF 2 RACES OR $30,000 LIFETIME AS OF OCTOBER 31ST, 2024. 1ST LEG - Pick 4 (4) G A SPEED EXPERT is on a big roll, and he won here on 11/23. He has missed a month, but he goes for Menary and adds Lasix. He might prove tough to catch tonight. (10) A CLASS YANKEE is the fastest horse in here and he just won a stakes series from post 10. That being said, I don’t expect he will get over driven in the first leg of this series so I would demand a price. (2) ZEBS KRAFTY tries hard in every start, and he has been chasing tough TH Boomtown. He should be good for a share tonight. (7) BRUDON is better than he showed on 1/4. I think he closes for a slice this time. Race 9: POP UP SERIES: 4 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW $20,000 OR NOT AVERAGING $1,500 PER START IN 2024 (MIN 10 STARTS). NO ALLOWANCES. LEG 1 (4) THE BURKETONRANGER improved sharply racing out of the Budd barn. I’ll side with him over This is a (3) WHY WOULDNT YA, who is supposed to beat these but shows a stale date. (5) ZIPPENNRIPPEN just jogged in London on Tuesday, but he would need to drop several seconds to beat these; using underneath. (1) SMILES FOR MILES comes off a decent effort at Flamboro and he can be par of the exotics in this spot. [DRF HARNESS: Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter] Race 10: FILLIES & MARES, 5 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 2 RACES OR $30,000 (OS $41,500) LIFETIME (3) ROSE COLORDGLASSES overcame traffic trouble to get up and win and she paced the same final 1/4 as tough Open mare Dabarndawgswatchin who won the previous race. That was an impressive rally, and she gets the call to repeat. (5) GRANNYS WATCHING crushed NW3 at Flamboro and she faces NW2 here. She is hard to ignore coming off that strong effort. (1) LE BEC FIN was close last time she raced at this level three starts back. She is in with a chance here. (2) TINY BUT MIGHTY jogged over maidens and paced home fast, but the fractions will be much faster tonight. I’ll use her underneath. Race 11: SNOWSHOE PACING SERIES: 3 & 4 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS IN 2025. NW OF 2 RACES OR $30,000 LIFETIME AS OF OCTOBER 31ST, 2024. 1ST LEG (10) T H BOOMTOWN has been great since shipping in from the Maritimes, and he has a recency edge over morning line favorite (9) MIKI RAY. The latter is clearly the fastest horse in the race, and he will be tough to beat if he isn’t wearing too much rust. (8) HOLLYWOOD DEO experienced his first loss last time racing first up and he is likely a bit player here facing the two choices. (5) JULIUS HANOVER is in the exotics mix every start. He is a good one to use underneath. (3) LOTTO MAX is capable of better than he showed in his last start. He can take a check vs. these.
