    # 2 JE SUIS BELLE 8/1

    # 4 OVERDRIVEN CAT 6/1

    # 7 QUEEN OF WILDWOOD 3/1

    I've got to go with JE SUIS BELLE especially at such a decent 8/1. Is tough not to look at based on Equibase speed figs which have been decent - 72 avg - of late. Ulloa will probably be able to get this filly to break out quickly in this contest. Looks strong for the conditions of this outing today, showing solid numbers in dirt sprint races as of late. OVERDRIVEN CAT - Looks very strong to be on the front end at the first call. Had one of the most competitive Equibase Speed Figs of this group in her last contest. QUEEN OF WILDWOOD - Ought to be carefully examined based on the quite good Equibase Speed Figure put up in the last contest. Becker has one of the top winning percentages in this group with entries running at this distance and surface.

    #7 FINAL BLESSING (ML=5/2)


    FINAL BLESSING - Mejias comes to saddle up after getting to know the gelding in the last race. I look for this horse to sit chilly off the pace and make a big move on the turn, cruising straight on to the finish line. This gelding is in exceptional condition right now. Ended up third last time out and comes back soon.

    Vulnerable Contenders: #1 DIAMOND JUNIOR (ML=2/1), #4 MILLIONAIRE RUNNER (ML=4/1), #5 YOUSHOULDBEDANCING (ML=6/1),

    DIAMOND JUNIOR - October 31st is the last time we've seen this gelding around. Have to be a little bit leery. MILLIONAIRE RUNNER - Substandard fig last time around the track at Parx Racing at 6 furlongs. Don't believe this entrant will improve too much in today's race. YOUSHOULDBEDANCING - This runner showed little last time out finishing fourth. Don't expect any improvement today. Somewhat easily forgotten fig last out at Parx Racing at 1 mile. Don't feel this mount will improve too much in today's race.

    Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - FINAL BLESSING - Betting the animal with the best last race speed figure is a good angle. None higher than this gelding's last one.





    STRAIGHT WAGERS:
    Putting our cash on #7 FINAL BLESSING to win. Have to have odds of at least 1/1 or better though

    EXACTA WAGERS:
    7 with 5

    #2 W W CONCERTO (ML=6/1)
    #3 BIG SILVER HOSS (ML=7/2)
    #1 SHIROTA (ML=6/1)


    W W CONCERTO - Don't often see a beneficial ROI like +95. This jock/trainer tandem has done well together over the last twelve months. This gelding won at this distance on Aug 7th and was at a higher class than today. Stalking speed. My cronies and I like this one. BIG SILVER HOSS - You always have to be on the lookout for bankroll building jockey/trainer teams; we have it right here. SHIROTA - Trainer, Feliciano, has been deliberate with this gelding off the layoff. Look for a solid effort today. This horse gets a barn change by way of a claim out of the last race. Trainer here is terrific off of the claim, so no reason why this racer won't have a chance at a big race.

    Vulnerable Contenders: #6 METAL MAGIC (ML=3/1), #7 MALBEC (ML=9/2), #5 GUN POWDER (ML=6/1),

    METAL MAGIC - Would have to perk up off that fourth place finish last time to make an impact here. MALBEC - If you keep choosing these sort of 'bridesmaid' types, you're going to be disillusioned often. GUN POWDER - Don't figure that this pony has what it takes to be victorious in today's event.



    STRAIGHT WAGERS:
    Have to go with #2 W W CONCERTO on the win end if we get at least 2/1 odds

    EXACTA WAGERS:
    2 with [1,3]

    TRIFECTA WAGERS:
    Box [1,2,3] Total Cost: $6

    # 2 SE FUE 3/1

    # 3 STAR OF THE DAY 7/2

    # 5 HIT IT UP 2/1

    SE FUE appears to be the wager in here. With a competitive 70 Equibase Speed Figure last time out, will unquestionably be a factor in this competition. Has strong Equibase Class Figures relative to this group - worth a look. Looks solid for the conditions of this affair today, showing solid figures in dirt sprint races lately. STAR OF THE DAY - Have to wager on this filly with the formidable earnings per start in dirt sprint races. The winning percentage shown by horses entered by Hall running at this distance are the top in this group. HIT IT UP - Always seems to be close on the wire. Evans has this filly travelling well and is a decent selection based on the very good speed figs recorded in sprint races recently.

    When: 12:00 PM ET, Saturday, November 25, 2017
    Where: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, Florida

    Preview: Florida State at Florida
    Gracenote
    Nov 22, 2017

    Many of the 61 all-time meetings between Florida State and Florida have been played with something more than in-state bragging rights on the line, but the 62nd edition of the "Sunshine Showdown" figures to be little more than a blip on the national radar. The Seminoles attempt to keep their bowl hopes alive Saturday when they visit a Florida team trying to end a four-game losing streak in this rivalry.

    Florida State, which averaged a mere 18.1 points over its first nine contests and had not scored more than 27 points in a game all season long, surpassed the 30-point mark early in the second quarter last weekend and kept its foot on the pedal on its way to a 77-6 shellacking of FCS foe Delaware State. The Seminoles need to win out - this week and again next Saturday at home versus Louisiana-Monroe - in order to reach the six wins needed to reach the postseason and extend the nation's longest active bowl streak to 41 consecutive seasons. The Gators earned their first victory since late September with last weekend's 36-7 defeat of UAB, snapping a five-game skid and giving interim coach Randy Shannon his first win since the school and former coach Jim McElwain mutually parted ways on Oct. 29. This meeting marks the first time since 1959 and only the second time in series history that both teams will enter the game with a losing record.

    TV: Noon ET, ESPN. LINE: Florida State -5

    ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (4-6): The Seminoles scored in all three phases against the Hornets, putting together nine touchdown drives while also getting a 41-yard interception return TD from sophomore safety Derwin James and a 63-yard return score from Tarvarus McFadden following a blocked field goal. Freshman quarterback James Blackman was removed from the game before halftime due to the lopsided score, but not before he finished 11-of-15 for 179 yards and produced the first three-touchdown game of his career. Freshman defensive end Joshua Kaindoh registered a career-high four of Florida State's season-high six sacks against Delaware State and was part of a team effort to hold the Hornets to 15 rushing yards - the lowest total by an opponent under eighth-year coach Jimbo Fisher.

    ABOUT FLORIDA (4-6): The quarterback position has seemingly been in a constant state of flux all season long, but freshman Feleipe Franks made his seventh start of the year and went the distance against the Blazers, finishing 15-of-30 for 152 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Lamical Perine rushed for 86 yards on a career-high 20 carries versus UAB and scored his ninth touchdown, tying him for the fourth-most total touchdowns by a Gator running back since 1996. Eddy Pineiro, who became the first Florida kicker to convert five field goals since Arden Czyzewski did so in 1992, also became the first player in school history to connect on two 50-yard field goals in the same game last weekend.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. Florida State has won six of the past seven meetings, but Florida leads the overall series 34-25-2.

    2. The Seminoles have blocked an ACC-best five kicks - a mark that ranks second in FBS and is the most they have recorded in a season since 2006 (six).

    3. The Gators rank second in the SEC and fourth in FBS in red zone scoring percentage (96.4), scoring on 27 of their 28 drives inside the 20 this season.

    PREDICTION: Florida State 23, Florida 17

    The Indiana-Purdue rivalry is always a big game in the state of Indiana, but this season's game means even more as the two teams will battle to finish .500 and be bowl eligible when they play Saturday afternoon. Both teams come into the contest 5-6, with the Boilermakers having won two of three and the Hoosiers are on a two-game winning streak, including a 41-0 rout of Rutgers last weekend.

    Indiana quarterback Richard Lagow is finishing off his career on a high note, throwing for 525 yards and four touchdowns over the last two games. Lagow has two of the top targets in the Big Ten to throw to in wide receivers Simmie Cobbs Jr. (65 catches, 736 yards, seven TDs) and Luke Timian (62, 520, two), who rank second and third in the conference in receptions. The Hoosiers will be tested by the Purdue defense, which ranks 18th in the country in scoring, allowing 18.9 points a contest. Quarterback Elijah Sindelar leads the Boilermakers' attack, passing for 1,544 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.

    TV: Noon ET, ESPN2. LINE: Purdue -2.5

    ABOUT INDIANA (5-6, 2-6 Big Ten): The Hoosiers' drive for bowl eligiblity is being led by the team's defensive line, which is playing as well as any unit on the team over the past few weeks. Indiana ranks eighth in the country with 35 sacks, which already surpasses the team's total from all of last season, led by defensive end Robert McCray III's 6.0 and linebacker Tegray Scales' 5.0. The Hoosiers are also 15th in the country in tackles for loss, and another dominant performance against Purdue could get the veteran defensive front one more game together this season.

    ABOUT PURDUE (5-6, 3-5): First-year coach Jeff Brohm is known for his offensive acumen, but this season, the Boilermakers are defined by their defense, which has held 10 straight opponents to 28 points or fewer. Purdue has allowed an average of 74 rushing yards over the last four games, and was boosted by the return of linebacker T.J. McCollum from an ankle injury. McCollum has 14 tackles and two sacks over the last two contests and will be a big key if the Boilermakers are going to advance to a bowl game.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. Indiana's 41-point victory over Rutgers is its largest margin of victory over a conference opponent since a 42-point win over Northwestern in October 1990.

    2. Purdue WR Anthony Mahoungou had a career day in the win over Iowa last week, tying his career best with seven catches and setting new personal standards with 135 yards and two touchdowns.

    3. Purdue leads the all-time series 72-41-6 but Indiana has won the last four meetings for the first time since 1944-47.

    Preview: Tulane at SMU
    Gracenote
    Nov 22, 2017

    Tulane can become bowl eligible for the first time since 2013 if it can win at SMU on Saturday. The Green Wave have won back-to-back close games while SMU has struggled defensively in three straight losses.

    The Mustangs have allowed 140 points and 1,838 yards of offense - including 559 rushing yards to Navy - during its losing streak and must try to solve Tulane's triple option. Senior running back Dontrell Hilliard leads the Green Wave's ground attack and could become the fourth player with 3,000 career rushing yards. Tulane will have its hands full with a SMU offense that has set a program record with 441 points and has tallied 400-plus yards in 14 straight games. The teams have each lost 10 turnovers but the Mustangs have forced 22.

    TV: Noon ET, CBS Sports Network. LINE: SMU -8.

    ABOUT TULANE (5-6, 3-4 American Athletic): Hilliard (1,049 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns) needs 48 yards to pass Orleans Darkwa for fourth place on the school's career rushing list and needs 94 yards to hit 3,000. Hilliard's 29 career rushing touchdowns rank fifth but third place (Bill Banker, 31) is within reach. Quarterback Jonathan Banks adds 544 rushing yards and seven scores and is coming off a career-high 251 passing yards to give him 1,483 yards for the season.

    ABOUT SMU (6-5, 3-4): Receivers Trey Quinn (100 catches for 1,052 yards) and Courtland Sutton (56, 910) have a combined 22 touchdown catches to lead the Mustangs' high-scoring offense. Sophomore running back Xavier Jones (nine touchdowns) needs 19 rushing yards to become the Mustang's 18th 1,000-yard rusher. Sophomore safety Mikial Onu leads SMU with 83 tackles, while junior cornerback Jordan Wyatt has four of the team's 12 interceptions.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. SMU had four straight games decided by seven points or fewer before losing to Memphis last week, while Tulane has had six such games this season.

    2. Tulane has seven scoring plays more than 58 yards, including a pair of 70-yard touchdown runs.

    3. Mustangs senior DE Justin Lawler (69 tackles, AAC-best 8.5 sacks) has three blocked kicks - more than 116 FBS teams.

    PREDICTION: SMU 42, Tulane 38

    They call it “Clean, Old Fashioned Hate” whenever Georgia and Georgia Tech meet, and the two bitter rivals get together Saturday in Atlanta with far more than in-state bragging rights on the line – and for completely different reasons. The seventh-ranked Bulldogs, already assured of an SEC championship game appearance, need a victory to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive, while the Yellow Jackets must win to become bowl eligible for the 20th time in 21 seasons.

    Its margin for error removed after a 23-point loss at Auburn the week before, Georgia returned to form last week, gashing Kentucky for 381 yards rushing and five touchdowns on the ground in a 42-13 rout to win for the 10th time in 11 games and completing a season sweep of the SEC East. “I’m proud of the fight, resiliency and the character that was exposed,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart told reporters after the Bulldogs scored the game’s final 21 points. The Yellow Jackets are trending in the opposite direction, losing an early 14-3 advantage in falling 43-20 to a Duke team that had lost six in a row. “They went through us like we weren’t even there,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson told the media after his Yellow Jackets were ripped for 500 yards of total offense by the Blue Devils.

    TV: Noon ET, ABC. LINE: Georgia -11

    ABOUT GEORGIA (10-1): Running back Nick Chubb rushed for 151 yards on 15 carries with two touchdowns last week and Sony Michel added three touchdowns on 87 yards on the ground. Freshman quarterback Jake Fromm bounced back from a tough day at Auburn to complete 9-of-14 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown, as the Bulldogs bumped their scoring average to 35.3 points. The Georgia defense ranks fourth nationally in points allowed per game (14.4).

    ABOUT GEORGIA TECH (5-5): Quarterback TaQuon Marshall has rushed for 100 yards or more six times in 10 games and has 1,074 yards on the season. Running back KirVonte Benson also has surpassed 1,000 rushing yards on the season (1,009). The Yellow Jackets allowed points on eight of 10 Duke drives last week, but are 5-0 at home this season (losing a neutral-site game to Tennessee in the season opener).

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. Georgia Tech is 29th nationally (fourth in the ACC) in total defense, allowing 342.6 yards per game.

    2. Georgia LB Roquan Smith is a finalist for the Nagurski Trophy and the Butkus Award, leading the Bulldogs with 91 tackles on the season.

    3. The Bulldogs have won the past eight meetings in Atlanta dating back to 2001, while Georgia Tech won in Athens in 2014 and last season.

    Preview: Ohio State at Michigan
    Gracenote
    Nov 22, 2017

    Eighth-ranked Ohio State looks to stay in the hunt for a College Football Playoff spot when it travels to Ann Arbor to face Michigan in one of the greatest rivalries in sports. The Buckeyes trounced Illinois 52-14 to clinch a berth in the Big Ten Championship game against No. 4 Wisconsin on Dec. 2 and hope to continue their mastery of Michigan by downing their arch rivals for the 13th time in the last 14 meetings.

    "This rivalry is not a one-week deal, it's just not. … I think it's in your blood and in your DNA," Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer told reporters. "We're just extremely focused and I can't imagine many more having more respect for this rivalry than I do myself." The Wolverines are left to lick their wounds after losing quarterback Brandon Peters in the third quarter of the 24-10 setback to the Badgers. Peters was carted off with a head injury and is currently in the concussion protocol, and the Wolverines may be forced to turn to John O'Korn, who has thrown one touchdown compared to five interceptions in 2017, as they hope to salvage a disappointing season by avenging a controversial 30-27 overtime loss to the Buckeyes last year. "We put the game in the hands of the referees and that's one of the worst things you can do so we've got to make sure we don't make that same mistake this year," Michigan running back Karan Higdon told reporters. "I think everyone knows we definitely won that game but it is what it is."

    TV: Noon ET, FOX. LINE: Ohio State -11.5

    ABOUT OHIO STATE (9-2, 7-1 Big Ten): Senior quarterback J.T. Barrett, who was named one of three finalists for the Davey O'Brien Award presented annually to the top quarterback in college football, threw for 141 yards and two touchdowns to go along with a rushing score in limited action during the blowout win against Illinois. Mike Weber, who hails from Detroit, rushed for 108 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Fighting Illini to give him four TDs in his last two games. Linebacker Dante Booker has missed the last two games with a concussion but has been cleared to play on Saturday.

    ABOUT MICHIGAN (8-3, 5-3): Higdon was limited to 20 yards on seven carries against Wisconsin after rushing for 408 yards in his previous three games. Running back Ty Isaac suffered an undisclosed injury in his first game back since sitting out the previous three with a head/neck injury while starting cornerback Lavert Hill is ready to return after missing last weekend's loss to the Badgers with a concussion. Quarterback Wilton Speight, who has missed the past seven games with a fractured vertebrae, is practicing with the team, but hasn't been given the green light to participate in contact drills.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. Ohio State has won six of the last seven meetings in Ann Arbor.

    2. Barrett has accounted for three touchdowns or more in 10 of his 11 games this season.

    3. Michigan is ranked third nationally in total defense (261.2).

    Preview: Kansas at Oklahoma State

    Nov 22, 2017

    Oklahoma State's goals of winning a Big 12 Championship and landing a spot in the College Football Playoff evaporated with a surprising 45-40 home loss to Kansas State last week. The Cowboys, plagued by slow starts that have resulted in a disappointing 2-3 home record, will be focused on starting fast Saturday when they host Kansas in their Big 12 regular-season finale.

    The Cowboys fell six spots to No. 19 in this week's College Football Playoff rankings after the loss to the Wildcats who jumped out to a 28-13 halftime lead and led 42-13 in the third quarter. Oklahoma State, which entered the game as a 19 1/2-point favorite, scored four touchdowns over a 15-minute span to give itself a chance to pull it out in the final two minutes, but quarterback Mason Rudolph then threw four straight incompletions from his own 46. "It sucks," Rudolph told newsok.com. "It's not fun. But we'll turn it around and come back focused." That doesn't spell good news for Kansas which comes into the game with a 10-game winless streak and ranks 127th nationally in scoring defense (42.1) and 111th in total defense (450.8 yards per game).

    TV: Noon, ET, FS1. LINE: Oklahoma State -41

    ABOUT KANSAS (1-10, 0-8 Big 12): The Jayhawks rank 11th in the nation in red-zone scoring percentage (93.5) but the problem has been getting there, getting shut out by both Iowa State and TCU and managing just a field goal in a 41-3 loss to Oklahoma last week. Both starting quarterbacks, Peyton Bender and Carter Stanley, are completing just 54 percent of their passes and have combined to throw for 12 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Khalil Herbert leads the team in rushing (658 yards, 4 TDs) while Steven Sims Jr. paces the team in receiving (50 catches, 770 yards, 5 TDs) and junior linebacker Joe Dineen Jr. leads the defense with 123 tackles, including 84 solo stops, which leads the nation.

    ABOUT OKLAHOMA STATE (8-3, 5-3): Rudolph leads the nation in passing yards (4,115) and points responsible for (246) but has been overshadowed by some other quarterback named Mayfield in his own state. His top target, senior wide receiver James Washington, leads the nation with 1,317 receiving yards on 61 receptions and has 11 touchdowns while running back Justice Hill leads the Big 12 in rushing with 1,289 yards on 229 carries and has scored 13 touchdowns. Oklahoma State's defense had 14 tackles for loss in last week's loss to Kansas State and has forced 21 turnovers this season, including four interceptions by cornerback A.J. Green which ranks second in the Big 12.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. Washington, with 4,240 in his career, needs 174 receiving yards to catch school record holder Rashaun Woods who had 4,414 yards from 1999 to 2003.

    2. Oklahoma State's defense has forced a turnover in 25 straight games.

    3. Kansas is 3-32 in three seasons under head coach David Beaty and 1-25 in Big 12 play.

    PREDICTION: Oklahoma State 59, Kansas 3
