Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Penn National - Race #1
Picks Notes
#3 BELLS ARE RINGING (6-1) Long series of works for debut; dam came out of blocks running.
#2 DONEGAL DANNY (8-5) Solid numbers as a 2yo, makes seasonal debut with blinkers back on.
#1 EASTER BET (9-5) Appears stuck in ‘third’ gear thus far, moves outside in.
Race Summary BELLS ARE RINGING, one of three first-time starters, shows a steady work tab and her dam, Bells Are Ringing (43/5-12-4, $170k), had speed, was a first-out runner-up and a second-out MSW runaway at Penn National. Play 3-1 and 3-2 exactas.
Penn National - Race #3
Picks Notes
#4 SOUPER CATCH (4-1) Classy 10-year-old might remember how against this field.
#7 AMPERSAND (9-2) Can’t seem to get out of his own way at the start, takes the class plunge.
#3 SIR SAHIB (6-1) Good move after slow start from post 10 against similar foes.
Race Summary SOUPER CATCH lacked late kick in a longer route race off the Kreiser claim, but he can make amends with a projected ideal stalking trip. He is reunited with Chiappe, who was aboard when he got beat at 1-to-9 odds. Bet to win and place and play a 3-4-7 exacta box.
Penn National - Race #4
Picks Notes
#3 HE IS BAD (3-1) Good Penn National record, seeks duplicate of latest on barn switch.
#6 KAZ MUNNINGS (7-2) Steady check-getter at this level and distance, last won with Vargas.
#2 MARTINKELLY (2-1) Good speed, held to finish second in last two go-rounds at Penn National.
Race Summary HE IS BAD adapted well to rating tactics and blew past the favorite to win going away when last seen two months ago. The same scenario could play out today for his new trainer. Bet to win and place.
