coming off last weeks great New Year's Eve, today's race card is wide open at GP. Hoping to catch some big balloons again today. Very tough race card.
RACE 1: 6-3-5...#6 5-1 ML. Drops back down to where she belongs as takes the mount when Paci could have ridden other Plesa horse. $60 WP...loss, I picked the wrong Plesa horse. The 3 couldn't stay in a straight line to get up for the win.
RACE 2: 2-7-4-12...4 wins
RACE 3: 2-3-4...#2 8/5 ML...looks to be improving each time out and could only be getting better. $80 WIN...gets headed out. You know it looks to be an open day when the P3 paid almost $4800
RACE 4: 7-1-3...7 wins...let's get a little roll going
RACE 5: 2-8-7-4...#2 wins and #7 2nd...exacta $35, DD $39.60
RACE 6: 7-3-1-10...7 5-1 ML. Trainer is lights out with 2no out and first lasix. Look for him to be much improved. $60 WP..added 10 as 11 scratched.
RACE 7: 7-1-6-3...on paper this one doesn't belong much but the works at GP have been lights out. Also Lanerie takes the mount and does t ride for Romans in this one. $40 WPS...winner 6, 2nd 3, 3rd 7...exacta $22.60, trifecta $184.60, DD $21.80, P3 $162.40
RACE 8: 10-3-2...#10 20-1 ML...this race is wide wide open. I can see 9 of the 12 winning this one. With that said, I'm taking a 20-1 to win it. First turf, first lasix and great pilot on the lawn. $40 WPS...long shot play...winner 2...DD $26.60, Pick 3 $132
RACE 9: 12-7-4-8...a lot of speed signed up here so I think one from off the pace wins this one....winner #7...DD $56.20, Pick 3 $189.80
RACE 10: 6-2-5-9...#6 9/2 ML. Impressive maiden win so could be track or could be that he just likes the dirt. Think he should stalk the pace instead of getting into speed duel. $20 WP
RACE 11: 12-8-2-7...another wide wide open one to end the day.
As always BOL. Let's hit 'me hard to start 2017.
