Kentucky Downs Jockey7: Geroux, Hernandez, Ortiz formidable trio

Win some, lose some. After correctly tabbing Tyler Gaffalione as the winner in the first Jockey7 Wager on Wednesday, I didn’t even have Julien Leparoux among my secondary selections on Thursday, and all he did was spread-eagle the field.

King: Kentucky Downs pick four play for Saturday, Sept. 9

Here’s my wagering strategy for the late pick four Saturday at Kentucky Downs. The bet covers the last four races, which also happen to all be stakes races, three of them graded.

Race 7

Up first are fillies and mares going a mile in the Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf. Three-time Grade 1 winner Miss Temple City (5) is heavily favored at even-money on the morning line, with Zipessa (4) the second betting favorite at 7-2.

Peck: Kentucky Downs pick three play for Sunday, Sept. 10

A mid-card pick three, comprising races 4-6, could be the right value play - if the race 5 single gets home:

RACE 4: Using them all in a wide-open fourth race, a maiden claimer going a mile with several horses trying the grass for the first time. Hoping it's as unpredictable as it seems to be on paper (12).

A's: 1, 3, 9, 12

B's: 5, 10, 13, 14, 16

C's: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 15

Hersh: How I'll play Louisiana Downs on Saturday, Sept. 9

It’s Super Derby Day at Louisiana Downs. Alas, the feature, moved to turf from dirt for this year’s renewal, did not come up a super race. Just six were entered, and at most, five are expected to start, with Gorgeous Kitten’s connections opting for Kentucky Downs on Sunday. But there are 11 other races to consider, including several more turf stakes, and some decent betting opportunities on the card.

Here’s how I’ll play.

Pick four, races 5-8

BreezeFigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, September 9, 2017, by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore

Although our 3-year-old Pick didn’t win, the 2016 BreezeFigs class pounded home six more maiden winners last week as their “official season” (i.e., posting cards), ended Labor Day.

Free: Los Alamitos horses to watch for week of Sept. 4

CITY OF LIGHT
Trainer: Michael McCarthy
Last race: Sept. 1, 4th
Finish: 1st by 7 1/2
Beyer: 95
A second-start maiden 3-year-old, he annihilated his sprint rivals. Broke running, set a fast pace, and was strong to the wire. The sky is the limit for this late-developing son of Quality Road.
