Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks
Fair Grounds - Race #6
Fair Grounds - Race #8
Picks Notes #6 Cocoa Icing She had a lot of trouble along the way in that comeback run here last month, but she seemed to have a little interest in the latter half of that race and might have some room to come forward in the second start back. Solid lean at a midrange price. #11 Generous Lover She took to the turf nicely in that graduation run last time out, and she might have enough tactical pace to find a decent spot even from the high draw. Capable right back. #4 Way to Be Marie She has been pretty reliable on the turf and stacks up nicely enough with these, and I wonder if recent believers might get a slightly better price this time around. Race Summary Cocoa Icing had something more to offer than she showed in that running line on paper, and some reasonable upside in the second start off the bench puts her in the picture.
Fair Grounds - Race #9
Picks Notes #3 Sultry Lass Giving her a little price look after the flat stakes try in that first run on the turf -- I like that she's getting another chance on the surface in an easier spot, and she may be able to sit a touch closer early on today. #2 Paint Me Perfect She has been really honest here this season and scored at an overlaid 5.70-1 last out, and she seems competitive again today. Guessing she'll be on the scene late again today. #1 Swoonatra She has some pace to use from the fence, and the only other serious speed drawn in here is two spots deep on the also-eligibles, so she probably doesn't even go. Would want this one on the tickets as the controlling pace. Race Summary Sultry Lass might be a bit more tactical today after a hesitant break left her running from farther back that I would have expected. Worth another look while getting this kind.
Picks Notes #12 Breaking Star He tracked the pace and stayed on well enough late to hold for a distant and one-paced third. The guy who beat him that day was back to win, so maybe that line will translate well today. #6 One More Sleep Not totally sold that he wants the added ground today, but he's a reliable enough grinder to think he'll land another piece. One of the ones, but I wouldn't want too short a price. #1 Last of the Past He took a nice step forward in the first try around two turns, and another move in the right direction today would probably make him tough. Think he should be on the tickets you need to get home. Race Summary Breaking Star was in a good spot until late in that last one, and the winner of that race is probably a bit better than the $10,000 Louisiana-bred tag suggests.
Frank Carulli's Daily Picks
Gulfstream Park - Race #1
Gulfstream Park - Race #4
Picks Notes #1 MI AMORE (7-2) Hard-ridden to mid-turn lead, couldn’t fend off co-faves in longer route race. #3 OUR MAGIC PRINCESS (10-1) Useful debut at this level; dam was 18-34 and stakes-winning router. #2 SPIRIT OF VICTORY (2-1) Improved with Lasix and blinkers, stretches out on class drop. Race Summary MI AMORE got first run on a pair of 5-to-2 shots who finished first and second, but she showed some more staying power and held third on the class drop to this level. The rail draw is a plus for her third start with Lasix. Play a 1-2-3 exacta box.
Gulfstream Park - Race #5
Picks Notes #6 TAKE IT SOUTH (3-1) Idle since fall, lone all-weather track try in MSW company fits at this level. #1 LTE STARK WINTER (9-2) Has shown some mild late interest in route races on this surface. #4 SHOPPINGATBLOOMIES (2-1) Led at stretch call in pair of longer races to begin 4yo season. Race Summary TAKE IT SOUTH, idle since a $16,000 claim nearly seven months ago, breezed in :59-3/5 over the all-weather track recently to gear up for her return. She was heavily bet off a similar layoff last fall but failed to menace. Bet to win and place.
Picks Notes #6 BORDER TOWN (5-2) Hard-hitting turfer appears well-suited to 7-1/2F, won off similar rest in fall. #1 MEHLEK (5-1) Rallied to win on firm and soft footing in 2 of last 3 grass routes, gets pace to run at. #4 ROUGH DRAFT (6-1) Won 3 of last 8 on lawn, steps up for high-percentage claim barn. Race Summary BORDER TOWN benefited from a lively pace on a Woodbine course that favored closers when he last raced on the turf in October. But he finished powerfully in the 3-path to win going away at 6F and could sit a similar trip today as he takes aim at $300k in grass earnings. Bet to win and place.

Aqueduct - Race #4 - Post: 2:55pm - Maiden Special - 8.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $70,000 Class Rating: 73
Rating:
#7 FLIP'S DREAM (ML=4/1)
FLIP'S DREAM - You'll be generating money left and right by turning your betting money onto this rider/handler combination. Taking a trip to a lower level; has the power to make his presence felt. Forgive the off the board finish on the off track in the last race. On a fast track, has a good chance right here.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 SAKA SHOCKA (ML=2/1), #6 CALL BOB (ML=5/2), #1 TWIRLING VINE (ML=4/1),
SAKA SHOCKA - Not the proper 'spot' in this clash. CALL BOB - When examining today's class rating, he will have to register a much better speed fig than in the last race to be competitive in this dirt route. TWIRLING VINE - The Equibase speed figs are going downward. I'm not playing this pony off of that trend. Unlikely that the speed figure he recorded on February 23rd will be good enough in this affair.
STRAIGHT WAGERS: #7 FLIP'S DREAM is the play if we get odds of 1/1 or better EXACTA WAGERS: 7 with 2

Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight - 8.5f on the Dirt. Purse: $115000 Class Rating: 89
FOR MAIDENS, THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 118 LBS.; OLDER, 124 LBS.
RECOMMENDED CHOICES 
# 8 MOUNT CRAIG 9/5
# 6 RELAMPAGO VERDE 6/1
# 3 CROSSING 9/2
I've got to go with MOUNT CRAIG. He has been running solidly and the Equibase Speed Figures are among the top in this group. Could best this group based on the Equibase Speed Fig - 87 - of his last outing. He has quite good class ratings, averaging 92, and has to be given consideration in this event. RELAMPAGO VERDE - Appears to be the type to be helped with second time Lasix here. Has recorded solid Equibase speed figs in dirt route races in the past. CROSSING - Shows signs of the look of a profitable play, averaging a solid 81 Equibase Speed Figure which is one of the top in this field. Must be given a chance - I like the figures from the last contest.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES # 4 ROYAL VICKY 9/2
# 2 P K WOOD 10/1
# 5 LIAM THE BRAVE 6/1
I have to consider ROYAL VICKY here. Reason to like this colt as he has in the saddle one of the best jocks using winning percentages over the last 30 days. LIAM THE BRAVE - Could provide positive profits based on respectable recent speed figures with an average of 78. Reason to like this gelding as he has in the irons one of the best jocks using winning percentages over the last 30 days.
Penn National - Race #2 - Post: 6:29pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $14,000 Class Rating: 66

#7 MIGHTY MINION (ML=7/2)
MIGHTY MINION - Don't throw this horse out due to his last contest at Penn National where he finished sixth in the slop. Should improve this time around.
Vulnerable Contenders: #1 BOSS HOLIDAY (ML=5/2), #3 CONNECTING (ML=4/1), #6 COWBOY JIM (ML=9/2),
BOSS HOLIDAY - This gelding is always in the money, but just doesn't win. Tough to bet on him on the win end. Hard to back the favorite when he continues to lose as the favorite. CONNECTING - I can't play this repeated non-winner. Gets the assignment done now and then. Finished fourth in his most recent race with a common speed rating. When I look at today's Equibase class figure, it would take an improved performance to score after that in this group. COWBOY JIM - I find it hard to bet on any horse in a sprint race at 9/2 when he hasn't shown any competitive efforts in sprints in the last 60 days. Just cannot invest in this vulnerable equine. Didn't show me anything last time around the track or on Jan 29th.
STRAIGHT WAGERS: Put your money on #7 MIGHTY MINION on the nose if you can get odds of 1/1 or more EXACTA WAGERS: Skip
