Its a hard Saturday for the Nags, So I'm going for a bit of thinking outside the box and a few longshots are on the cards.
We start in Kentucky Downs. (Small Daily Double, 2 W/P/S)
Race 11 - #7 Grooms All Bizness 15/1 ML -- This horse ran really bad in Philadelphia Park LTO, But before that he was running well and if he didn't run in that Philly race and just came here instead, he would be top of the market. So lets hope he can put his last run behind him and get back on track at a nice Win/Place/Show price.
Race 12 - #7 Thabaat 8/1 ML -- This horse has never run and he is put into a 3 year old + race. That's a horse with No experience thrown in with older horse's with bags of experience, one would expect a massive price for him, but yet they have him at 8/1. This is just a maiden and these are a bad bunch. Worth a shot in a bad race.
Now on to Dodgy Del-Mar (2 small Daily Doubles, Best Bet)
Race 3 - #3 Iron Man Cal 9/2 ML -- A bit of an odd race, were their are many runners that are first time out and the other horse's that have run, have run over shorter distance. But my dart fell on the #3, He finished 2l behind Artislas when fourth of eight at 10-1 on his racecourse debut at Del Mar over 5f (good) last month. That run is of some interest. But this is over the mile and he has a decent chance if Philip D Amato thinks he can get a mile.
Race 4 - #7 Jack's Magic Girl 8/1 ML -- This horse is bred for dirt, So the first run they put him on was turf. And he ran a cracker, winning at 13-5 at Del Mar over 1m (good) last month, beating Caitlin Fever by 3 1/2l and looks an exciting prospect moving forward. Then comes Saturday and they place him in a 7f G1 Dirt race and against a talking horse in #2 NOONI, Doesn't make sense, and there is more confusion as this horse could of went for the Race 5 Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf Stakes, worth 100k, which is run over the same distance and turf course of which he has just won so impressively. So all that said, connections must feel that he is better on Dirt and if he is after that turf run, he could be well in here. I have already backed this horse at 14/1 today, and is my Biggest and therefore my best bet of the day.
Race 5 - #2 Thought Process ML 9/5Fav -- I know Snap on a Fav, but should win and will be playing him in a Daily Double with Jacks magic Girl. Had this horse in my Horses to follow list and was waiting on her to come back out, Good spot to play her with an outsider.
That's it for me this week, Best bet is Jacks Magic Girl in Del-Mar Race 4, simply because I don't know why she doesn't run in race 5 as she would probably win it, and connections would know this. took it at 14s W/P/S, I don't know what price it will be, but Nooni is deserved Fav. May you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the new NFL season and please remember to gamble responsibly. Giddy Up All
