Golden Gate Fields - Race #9 - Post: 5:56pm - Starter Allowance - 8.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $17,000 Class Rating: 91

Rating: 3

#4 GOING FOR THE WIN (ML=6/1)
#9 WHISKY N ROSES (ML=10/1)
#6 ONEFORTHETEAM (ML=9/2)
#5 KITTENMEISTER (ML=7/2)
#2 SINGAPRAYER (ML=15/1)


GOING FOR THE WIN - If you review the PP's for this entrant, you'll see he has recorded the top speed rating at the distance and surface. A repeat race today and this horse has a superb chance to win. Looking at today's class figure, this racer is meeting an easier field than last race out at Santa Rosa. I like that last effort on Aug 3rd at Santa Rosa where he ran second. Strong average class rating on this horse. Should have the power to run well on the turf. WHISKY N ROSES - This magnificent animal should be rumbling in the lane. ONEFORTHETEAM - Jockey jumped on this gelding's back for the first time on June 2nd. Should know the animal even better this race. Gelding's last workout was second fastest of the day for the distance. This entrant may have too much power on the grass for the rest of the field. When the field turns for home, he could put these away. This one has increased his speed ratings from a fig of 74 to 86 to 93 right in a row. KITTENMEISTER - Strong win percent this jockey and conditioner duo have been putting together. I like this gelding. Has the topmost earnings per start in this event. SINGAPRAYER - Looking at this gelding's running lines, I see he's almost always in-the-money. Aboard this thoroughbred on Jun 18th and Gomez is right back in the irons today. This gelding has higher odds on the morning line than the other entrant from the stable of Delia. Better watch out for this angle.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 TUNE TO WIN (ML=4/1), #8 KITTEN'S ROYAL (ML=6/1), #3 BECOME AN INSIDER (ML=8/1),

TUNE TO WIN - Let me give you a tip. For the most part, don't play a maiden breaker out of a maiden claimer next race out. KITTEN'S ROYAL - Somewhat easily forgotten speed rating last out at Oak Tree at Pleasanton at 1 mile 70 yards. Don't think this pony will improve too much in today's race. BECOME AN INSIDER - You believe this equine is going to be first just because he's always close. Just doesn't win often.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - ONEFORTHETEAM - This gelding has the top speed figure last race with a very good 93. He is the top bet here.

# 3 ABSOLUTELY KOOL 6/1

# 6 MY SWEET DREAM 4/1

# 1 MAGIC TOSHIKO MAGIC 5/1

ABSOLUTELY KOOL could be the wager in here. She should definitely be carefully examined given the very strong speed figures. Will more than likely be one of the front-runners of the group going into the midpoint of the contest. Recorded a very strong speed figure last time out. MY SWEET DREAM - Tough to pass on this filly with Mendez in the saddle. Will most likely go to the lead and could never look back. MAGIC TOSHIKO MAGIC - Overall the Equibase speed figs of this racer look very good in this race.

# 2 DON'S MARSH 4/1

# 1 GADGET MAN 6/1

# 7 FUZZY MUZZLE 7/2

I think DON'S MARSH is a formidable choice. Will probably compete very well in the pace battle which bodes well with this field. Is difficult not to consider based on speed figures which have been decent - 87 avg - of late. This horse has a very good win percentage in dirt route races. GADGET MAN - Taylor has well above average gains at this distance/surface. Put up a very good Equibase Speed Fig last time out. FUZZY MUZZLE - Reliable average Equibase speed figs in dirt route races make this horse a key contender. He has been racing admirably as of late while recording very solid speed figures.

#8 FAIR POINT
#14 ROYAL INHERITANCE
#4 MISS ELLA
#6 GINGER N RYE

Here in just the 5th running of this stakes event, #8 FAIR POINT, a 4-1 shot, qualifies as a TrackMaster PLUS "PowerPony," takes a class drop (-2), and has hit the board in "POWER RUN FASHION" in three of her last five outings, including a "POWER RUN WIN" in her 4th race back. Jockey Jose Ortiz and Trainer "Shug" McGaughey send her "postward" for the "Sunday Feature" here at "The Spa" ... they've hit the board with 52% of nearly 90 entries saddled as a team to date. #14 ROYAL INHERITANCE is the pace profile leader, and has hit the board in five straight, winning four times, however, kindly note that none of these "Circle Trips" qualified as "POWER RUN WINS."

#4 THAT'S A STRETCH (ML=3/1)
#3 LAND HO (ML=10/1)
#5 JIMMIES TRUCK (ML=7/2)
#7 CONQUEST TOO SMART (ML=12/1)


THAT'S A STRETCH - I like the fact that this gelding's last fig, 80, is tops in this group. You always have to be on the patrol for revenue generating jockey/handler teams; we have it right here. I believe the addition of the 'shades' today will help this gelding focus his attention on racing. Ranked number one in earnings per race. Another indicator that this horse is the class of the race. LAND HO - This horse should be motoring down the stretch. JIMMIES TRUCK - I think this gelding is very ready right now. I like the fact that Mattine brings him back to a race so quickly. CONQUEST TOO SMART - Garcia comes to ride after getting to know the gelding in the last event. I'm optimistic this gelding will run well today. Last morning work was 2nd fastest of the day, which tells me he's sharp right now. The improved speed figs over the last three races is strong. Di Pasquale drops him in this race fit and ready to go.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 BEAREAGLE (ML=5/2), #6 SCHLOSS SCHNEEBERG (ML=6/1), #8 ONE FOR JACK (ML=8/1),

BEAREAGLE - Can't wager on this pony in today's sprint of 7 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance clash lately. This morning-line choice may be out of form without any recent drills. SCHLOSS SCHNEEBERG - The speed figure last out doesn't fit very well in this event when I look at the class rating of today's race. Mark this animal as a likely underlay. ONE FOR JACK - This animal likes to hit the board, but doesn't usually finish first. Don't put in the top spot. Tough to play any horse in a sprint affair at 8/1 when he hasn't shown any competitive efforts in sprints in the last two months.

Sunday's NFL Week 3 preseason betting primer and odds

It's Week 3 of the NFL preseason, which is usually the final dress rehearsal for teams before heading into the regular season. Starters usually play about three quarters in this final tune up, which means bettors can finally get a real feel for how games will play out. We break down the final three games of the week to help you get ready for the real thing in two weeks.

Chicago Bears at Tennessee Titans (-3.5, 43)

About the Bears

The spotlight is growing on the battle between expensive free agent Mike Glennon and first round pick Mitch Trubisky. As both took reps with the first-unit offense during practice this week. It is expected that Glennon will play the first half and Trubisky will take over at halftime.

Danny Trevathan is making the trip to Tennessee but coaches haven’t let word leak if he is going to dress. The inside linebacker hasn’t played since rupturing his patellar tendon last November.

The Bears are 1-1 straight up and against the spread, so far this preseason and the Over has cashed in both games.

About the Titans

The Titans have no question marks at quarterback with Marcus Mariota firmly entrenched and looking productive. In two drives versus the Panthers last weekend, he lead the offense to 10 points. Mariota is expected to play the entire first half at least.

Titans wide receivers Eric Decker, Corey Davis, Harry Douglas will not play, however, Tajae Sharpe will make his debut. Sharpe, started 10 games as a rookie last season, has been recovering from June surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot.

DeMarco Murray has been nursing a hamstring injury and while he has been practicing Titans head coach Mike Mularkey was noncommittal Friday about last season’s AFC rushing leader playing against the Bears.

Line Moves

The Titans opened as 3-point chalk and have been bet up a full point to 4. The total hit the betting board at 43.5 and has dropped down an even 43.

Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Redskins (-3, 44.5)

About the Bengals

After a disappointing Week Two for Marvin Lewis and company the Bengals look to rebound in the nation's capital against Washington. Injuries have hindered the Bengals ability to field full units with George Iloka, Dre Kirkpatrick, Giovani Bernard and first round pick John Ross yet to take to the field in a preseason game.

Lewis has stressed he wants to see players get a run before the regular season starts, “I want them to get their wind,” Lewis said.

Cincinnati is expected to play its starting unit for at least the full first half against Washington.

About the Redskins

Head coach Jay Gruden told reporters on Friday he expects players to play ‘a half at least’ on Sunday and has no plans to play starters in Thursday’s fourth and final preseason game at Tampa Bay.

Washington’s offense has struggled scoring with just three total points in their first two preseason games against the opponents’ first-team defense and that field goal came after a fumbled punt and the offense went three and out.

Jordan Reed is expected to make his first start of the preseason after battling a strained toe.

Line Moves

No movement on the line or the total in this game.


San Francisco 49ers at Minnesota Vikings (-4, 43)

About the 49ers

San Francisco’s starters are expected to play the entire first half, lead by Bryan Hoyer. Rookie C.J. Beathard has been making great strides during camp and appears to have taken over the backup spot from Matt Barkley. Beathard has looked good through two preseason games (211 passing yards, three touchdowns and no picks), but Shanahan would have to be supremely confident that the 3rd round pick is ready to be a backup before the 49ers let go of the veteran Barkley. Expect them both to get reps in the second half.

The 49ers are 1-1 straight up and against the spread, so far this preseason and the Over has easily cashed in the both games.

About the Vikings

The Vikings play their first home game of the preseason Sunday and their offense could use some home cooking. Minnesota’s first team offense led by Sam Bradford sputtered against Buffalo before moving the chains and finding chunk plays both on the ground and through the air in Seattle. However, they’ve only been able to put up three points, a 29-yard field goal in two games.

Highly touted Dalvin Cook will start his third straight preseason game for the Vikings and Sunday will be the first game action for free-agent from Oakland Latavius Murray.

Minnesota won both of their 2016 home preseason games.

Line Moves

The Vikings opened as 3-point home chalk and that wasn’t large enough and the line has been raise to 4. The total hit the betting board at 43.5 and has been bet down to an even 43.

MLB Daily Line Drive: Sunday's picks, betting odds and analysis

There are 16 games on the MLB schedule today, including the Mets and Nats tangling on Sunday Night Baseball for Game 2 of their doubleheader. Get analysis on all of today's games as well as tips on weather, umpires, and other betting trends with our daily MLB Line Drive.

Double-Play Picks

Chicago Cubs at Philadelphia Phillies (+185, 9.5)

The Cubs and Phillies meet Sunday afternoon for the final game of their three-game weekend series in Philadelphia. The teams have split the first two games with the Cubs' exploding for a 17-2 win to even the series yesterday.

We're going to ride the hot bats and a hot right-handed arm getting the start for Chicago today.

John Lackey, after a rough start to the season, is clearly getting into playoff mode for the Cubs. The Cubbies have won his last eight starts and he has looked very solid in all eight - he did allow six earned runs in his last start which was a weird game in Cincinnati with the wind howling straight out at Great American Ball Park. The Cubs ended up winning 13-9 that night against the Reds and have covered -1.5 in seven of Lackey's eight consecutive team wins.

The Phillies will counter with Nick Pivetta and he has been terrible all season long with a team win/loss record of 5-14 and an ERA of 6.73. He has been particularly bad over his last four starts with a team win/loss of 0-4, an ERA of 14.49, and a WHIP of 2.488.

Hot team, hot starting pitcher vs. struggling team, bad starting pitcher.

Pick: Cubs -1.5 (-120)

San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks (-190, 9.5)

The Diamondbacks have taken the first two games of this three-game series and will be looking for the weekend sweep of the last place Giants on Sunday afternoon.

Usually taking an Under at Chase Field in Phoenix is a no-no, but we can't ignore how well both starting pitchers have been performing.

Rookie Chris Stratton gets the start for the Giants (who have played Under in six straight games). The young right-hander will be making his fifth career start today. In his last two outings, against pretty good offensive teams in the Brewers and Nationals, Stratton has allowed exactly ZERO runs on only nine hits over 12.2 innings of work.

Patrick Corbin will get the ball for the D-Backs and we are all quite aware that he does his best work at home. In 13 home starts this season, Corbin is 7-3 with a very solid ERA of 2.87. Over his last three starts (one at home and two on the road), he is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.39, a WHIP of 0.73, and an opponent's on base percentage of .198. Those are Robbie Ray type numbers from the beginning of the season.

Two very hot starting pitchers taking on two teams who have not been scoring many runs recently - Giants averaging 2.5 runs per game over their last six, D-Back averaging 3.25 runs per game over their last eight).

Sounds like a good scenario for an Under play.

Pick: Under 9.5

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season To Date: 126-115-13


Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Patrick Corbin, Arizona Diamondbacks (11-11, 4.09 ERA, $-86)

We don't usually include a starting pitcher in this section if he's already been mentioned above in the picks section, but Patrick Corbin has been so good he deserves the double-billing - and the pickings are slim today.

Over his last three starts, Corbin has only allowed one earned run (ERA of 0.39) and 13 hits (WHIP of 0.73) in 23.1 innings of work.

Corbin and the Diamondbacks are available at a chalky -190 today at home against Chris Stratton and the Giants.

Slumping: Mike Foltynewicz, Atlanta Braves (10-9, 4.95 ERA, $595)

The 2017 season started out really well for Mike Foltynewicz, but over the last month there have been a few very wobbly performances - and in his last three starts the wheels have completely fallen off.

In his last three outings Folty is 0-3 with an ERA of 15.43, a WHIP of 2.91, and an incredibly bad opponent's on base percentage of .507.

Foltynewicz and the Braves are slight dogs (+110) at home today against Jon Gray and the Rockies.



Sunday's Top Trends

* The Minnesota Twins are 15-1 in Kyle Gibson's last 16 road starts vs. a team with a losing record. +130 today at Blue Jays.
* The Miami Marlins are 9-1 in their last 10 home games. -160 today vs. Padres.
* The Kansas City Royals are 2-11 in their last 13 games in Cleveland. +180 today at Indians.
* Over is 15-3 in the St. Louis Cardinals' last 18 vs. American League East. Rays/Cards Total: 8.5.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

For starters, thoughts and prayers for everyone in southern Texas - absolutely horrible situation.

As for MLB weather today, the only game on the schedule that may see precipitation is on the South Side of Chicago where the White Sox will host the Tigers this afternoon. There is a chance that some afternoon thunderstorms will develop during the late innings.

The most notable wind this afternoon will be at Fenway Park in Boston where the forecast is calling for a 10-12 mile per hour breeze blowing in from the right field bleachers. The Orioles are in town taking on the Red Sox and the total for today's contest is set at 10.5.

Ump Of The Day

Ted Barrett will be calling balls and strikes today in Atlanta where the Braves are hosting the Rockies.

Barrett is one of baseball's top Under umps this season at 13-8-3 and the Under is 12-3-2 in his last 17 games wearing the pads. He is also a very prominent homer at 17-7 for the home team in his 24 games behind the dish in 2017.

The Braves are slight home dogs today at +110 and the total is set at 9.
