Grade Descriptions:
Grade A=Highest degree of confidence
Grade B=Solid Play.
Grade C=Least preferred or pass
Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 1: Post: 3:00 PT Grade: B
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 2-House of Magic; 6-Katerini
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: House of Magic shortens to five furlongs, switches to grass, and should be capable of outrunning this starter’s allowance field of fillies and mares. The daughter of Good Magic is solid on speed figures for this level, switches to leading pilot Juan Hernandez, lands a good inside draw, and catches a field that lacks dependable closing types. Katerini has been freshened for 10 weeks and shows the route-to-sprint angle, so we’re expecting her to make some headway late. She also gets a break in the weights, so if given the patient ride that might bring out her best, the Mark Glatt-trained mare must be considered a legitimate contender.

*

RACE 2: Post: 3:29 PT Grade: C+
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 2-Thirsty; 6-Too Much Info
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: Thirsty won a maiden $50,000 state bred sprint at Santa Anita by almost eight lengths in his most recent start in late January but then disappeared. The Peter Miller-trained gelding returns cheap in this restricted (nw-2) $16,000 dash, not a healthy pattern to be sure, but if has one good one left he’ll most likely outrun this modest group of 3-year-olds. The work pattern at San Luis Rey Downs should have him fit enough. Too Much Info takes another class drop while seeking his proper level and may have found it. The Gary Stute-trained gelding is a one-paced grinder but he’s a trier and should at least get a piece of it. Tread lightly here.

*

RACE 3: Post: 3:59 PT Grade: C+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 3-Sushi Sticks; 1-Harney Lane; 10-Moment’s Pleasure
Backups/savers/Underneath: 2-Kitzkaty; 4-Annie Fox.

Forecast: This grass grab bag for juvenile fillies over a mile on turf could be won by just about any of the 10 entrants, so best advice is to spread as deeply as your budget allows. Sushi Stick is bred strictly for grass (Karakontie) and has done some reasonably good work in the morning while preparing for her racing debut. The Michael McCarthy-trained filly lands top rider Juan Hernandez, will leave from a comfortable inside draw, and has been given enough of a foundation to be fit and ready in somewhat lackluster state-bred affair. Harney Lane is another bred for turf (Sir Prancealot) and has worked okay for trainer David Hofmans while landing the good rail. She certainly won’t have to be a world beater to be competitive first crack out of the box. Moment’s Pleasure had a debut run sprinting on dirt facing maiden $50,000 foes and didn’t do badly while finishing steadily to be fourth. She should like turf and she should handle the trip, so despite her far outside draw we’ll toss her in.

*

RACE 4: Post: 4:29 PT Grade: C+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 4-El Magnifico; 6-Ultra Power
Backups/Savers/Underneath: 3-Wynstock.

Forecast: El Magnifico was no worry to Muth in his racing debut but did well to finish a distant second (beaten almost nine lengths) while well clear of the rest in a fast dash in mid-June at Santa Anita. The son of Street Sense faces a considerably easier task in this extended sprint for maiden juveniles, and with a race under his belt the Keith Desormeaux trained colt should step forward considerably. The first timers don’t really impress, though we get the feeling that Unique Bella’s first foal (by Curlin) Ultra Power will develop in due time and should be running on late. We’ll toss him on the main ticket.

*

RACE 5: Post: 4:59 PT Grade: C+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 1-She’s Got a Way; 4-Queenzy
Backups/Savers/Underneath: 9-Albayaader.

Forecast: Here’s another borderline inscrutable turf sprint, this one for first level allowance fillies and mares. She’s Got a Way hasn’t been trustworthy, having failed to deliver as the favorite in three of her last four starts. However, on her best day, the daughter of Tonalist is right there with these. The Peter Eurton-trained 4-year old should settle in the second flight from her inside draw and then have every chance from the quarter pole home to tag the leaders. Maybe the rider switch to Antonio Fresu will make a difference. Queenzy has been away since last November but the works at San Luis Rey Downs should have her fit enough and it’s conceivable that the daughter of Classic Empire might be an improved type this time around. She’s a first time Lasix user and is switching to Juan Hernandez, two positive factors that make her a legitimate contender. These are the two we’ll prefer but we suggest you spread as deeply as you can afford to.

*

RACE 6: Post: 5:29 PT Grade: B-
Main ticket (in order of preference): 4-Havoc; 1-Diamond Concerto
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: Havoc had an outing against straight maidens California-bred juveniles last month and under the circumstances didn’t do badly when winding up fifth of 10 behind Lord Prancealot, who returned to win the Graduation Stakes. This drop into the maiden $50,000 ranks looks like a proper move, so let’s go with the Ryan Hanson-trained gelding on top in a below average race for the level. Diamond Concerto a fair fifth after a slow break in his debut, certainly has a right to improve and can be within range throughout if he leaves cleanly from the rail.

*

RACE 7: Post: 5:59 PT Grade: B-
Main ticket (in order of preference): 3-Eddie’s New Dream; 1-Chancery Way
Backups/Savers/Underneath: 4-Ultimate Hy; 8-Rose Maddox.

Forecast: Eddie’s New Dream is a tough-as-nails veteran mare who has finished first or second in four of six career starts over the Del Mar turf course. Nosed out in her last outing when facing open company, she returns to the state-bred stakes ranks today and can win this year’s edition of the Solana Beach Stakes with her best effort. Chancery Way has never been sharper, but it remains to be seen if she can perform as well routing ln grass as she has sprinting on dirt. She’ll try gate-to-wire tactics from the rail and if not pressured early could take this field a long way. Her two prior starts on grass (both sprints up north) were solid, so the surface shouldn’t be an issue.

*

RACE 8: Post: 6:29 PT Grade: B-
Main ticket (in order of preference): 3-Satellite Heart; 5-Big Rainbow.
Backups/Savers/Underneath: 7-Cocktail Cutie.

Forecast: Satellite Heart makes her debut for trainer John Sadler in a weak maiden $50,000 claiming sprint for state-bred juvenile fillies and has trained well enough to be a major player at this level. She’s a bit of a tail-swisher but has shown the ability to finish a bit in her morning drills, so at 5-1 on the morning let’s give her top billing in a field that doesn’t offer many viable alternatives. Big Rainbow shows a pair of outings against much tougher straight maiden fields and should greatly appreciate this class drop. Look for her to be running on late.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 1: Post: 1:10 ET Grade: B
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 7-Tireless; 5-Wally World; 8-Veracruzin
Backups/Savers/Underneath: 4-Feltrinelli.

Forecast: This race has been handicapped for turf. If it is transferred to the main track, we will pass. Tireless brought $875,000 as a yearling, has looked the part in his recent preparation for trainer Todd Pletcher and should be plenty fit for a big effort in his debut. His pedigree is okay, nothing great, so the son of Not This Time he must be one impressive individual. He’s listed at 6-1 on the morning line and probably is better than that. Wally World was entered but scratched last week in an off-the-turfer, so we know he’s ready. The Chad Brown-trained son of More Than Ready hasn’t been asked for much in the a.m. but moves like a colt with talent. Veracruzin, a Summer Front colt, is another that has gone about his morning business in a proper way and should be ready for a strong effort as well., The Kenny McPeek-trained colt hails from a barn that has weak stats with first time starters, but this colt looks a cut above the norm.

*

RACE 2: Post: 1:44 ET Grade: C
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 3-Vax; 4-Our Rosie Diamonds
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: In typical Linda Rice style, Vax was claimed last time out for $40,000 and returns in a restricted (nw-2) $16,000 seller. The Sharp Azteca filly, a distant third last time out, figures to beat this field if healthy, but who really knows? Our Rosie Diamonds missed by a neck in a $25,000 affair last time out but didn’t earn much of a number. She’s 1-for-15 for a reason. These are the two we’ll be including in our rolling exotics in a race that probably should be left alone.

*

RACE 3: Post: 2:20 ET Grade: X
Main ticket (in order of preference): 5-Roses for Deb
Backups/savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: This race has been handicapped for turf. If it is transferred to the main track, we will pass. Roses for Debra just won the Caress Stakes-G3 over this course and distance from a similar field and will be odds-on to extend her winning streak to four in this year’s edition of the Smart N Fancy Stakes for fillies and mares. She has an ideal second flight, stalking style and can really kick it in when given her cue. Successful in six of eight career starts, the daughter of Liam’s Map is listed on the morning line at 50 cents on the dollar and on paper looks it.

*

RACE 4: Post: 2:52 ET Grade: B-
Main ticket (in order of preference): Landbiscuit; 7-Speedy Hans
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: This race has been handicapped for turf. If it is transferred to the main track, we will pass. Landbiscuit has finished in the frame in her last six starts but recently hasn’t been able to seal the deal, having wound up second in her most recent three outings. The good news is that her numbers are rising, and we’ve never considered her to lack a winning punch, so let’s operate under the assumption that she’s just been a tad unlucky, and that her genuine and consistent recent form will be rewarded today. Speedy Hans moves up a notch for new trainer Carlos David after being haltered for $25,000 out of the same race our top pick exits. The barn has good stats with this angle, so a forward move is likely at 8-1 on the morning line.

*

RACE 5: Post: 3:26 ET Grade: B-
Main ticket (in order of preference): 6-Joking Way; 1-Prove Right; 1-Heldish
Backups/Savers/Underneath: 3-Alternate Reality.

Forecast: This is a challenging extended sprint for older $50,000 claimers that requires coverage in rolling exotic play. Joking Way, acquired by Linda Rice for $50,000 out of a solid runner-up effort in mid-June at Ellis Park, returns on the raise in a sign of confidence and seems set to produce a career top effort for his high percentage connections. The pace scenario projects to be moderate, so we’re expecting this son of Practical Joke to be on or near the lead throughout. He’s listed at 6-1 on the morning line, a good gambling number. Prove Right needs to break well from the rail to avoid early traffic trouble and if he does he should be quick enough to gain a strong, forward position. He’s a first-off-the-claim ($50,000) for Patrick Reynolds (decent stats with this angle) following a sharp win over this track and distance last month. Heldish is comfortably drawn outside and should fire his best shot. The Monmouth Park invader has a winning race two back that charts pretty well with these.

*

RACE 6: Post: 4:00 ET Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 6-Fierceness
Backups/Savers/Underneath: 2-Anchises; 1-Air of Defiance.

Forecast: Fierceness, a son of City of Light from first out winning mare, has done everything in the morning like a colt with some quality and should be plenty fit enough for a major effort in his debut for trainer Todd Pletcher. A smooth mover and good athlete with more speed than he’s been allowed to show, the Mike Repole homebred looks like a very live item in a stronger than par six furlong sprint for juveniles. He’s listed as the 2-1 morning line favorite, so he’s no secret.
*

RACE 7: Post: 4:34 ET Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 3-Headland
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: Headland is the 8/5 morning line favorite and almost certainly will go lower in this allowance optional claiming ($62,500) sprint for older fillies and mares. A winner of her last pair with complete authority, she’s very fast on speed figures and has finished first or second in 21 of 39 career starts. She remains above her claim level, and while she might be changing hands (again) after this race, the Linda Rice barn likely has been enticed by the $156,000 purse that will make the two month investment quite worthwhile.

*

RACE 8: Post: 5:10 ET Grade: B
Main ticket (in order of preference): 1-Avenue Niel/1a-Olkovshkha; 4-Anatolian
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: This race has been handicapped for turf. If it is transferred to the main track, we will pass. We’re not sure if both will start, but the entry of Avenue Niel and Olkovshkha looks formidable in this first level allowance grass marathon for fillies and mares. ‘Niel may have been a bit short when third in her U.S. debut over this course and distance following an 11 month layoff earlier this meeting but should be fitter and tighter today for trainer Christophe Clement, who hits at 22% with the second-off-a-layoff angle. Her entry mate, from the Graham Motion barn, had an outing over yielding ground in her U.S. debut at Belmont Park in early July, and while never a real threat in that race she seems likely to step forward considerably. Anatolian, a solid runner-up in the same race Avenue Niel exits, is a one-paced grinder and may have less upside than the others but should at least get a piece of it.

*

RACE 9: Post: 5:44 ET Grade: X
Main ticket (in order of preference): 5-Nest
Backups/Savers/Underneath: 1-Idiomatic.

Forecast: Nest returned as well as she left when winning the Shuvee Stakes over this track and distance last month to extend her perfect streak to three-for-three over the Saratoga main track. A repeat of that race is more than good enough to handle this year’s renewal of the Personal Ensign Stakes-G1. Two easy breezes since raced should tick her over quite nicely. The Todd Pletcher-trained filly is listed at 4/5 on the morning line and probably will go a tick or two shorter.

*

RACE 10: Post: 6:18 ET Grade: B
Main ticket (in order of preference): 2-Cowichan; 10-Arrasou
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: This race has been handicapped for turf. If it is transferred to the main track, we will pass. Cowichan has finished in the frame in all five career starts, so it’s about time that she actually won one. The Irish-bred filly earned a career top speed figure when second in a productive race last time out at Keeneland in April and recent workouts indicate the Wesley Ward-trained sophomore should be ready for another forward move off the bench. Arrasou finished a distant third in an off-the-turf affair last month in her debut and is likely to improve a bunch today, assuming she gets a chance to do her thing on grass. Trainer Chad Brown hits at 30% with second timers, and Irad Ortiz, Jr. rides her back. ‘Nuff said.

Al Cimaglia: Hoosier Park Late Pick 4 Analysis August 25, 2023 | By Al Cimaglia
Hoosier Park has a 14-race card set to begin the weekend. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 11 (10:40 PM EST)

5-Major Attribute (9/2)-Recent form has been dull but has been facing better. Fits well at this level and could offer a square price.
6-Quick And Shady (20-1)-Will swing for a price, went the back half in 53.4 and was a beaten 5th. Can dance with this kind, and there is no true standout in this field.
8-Round Here Buzz (3-1)-Drops, needs a trip and will rely on Mike Oosting finding a live cover flow. Has been camera shy this year (1-23) and hopefully won't be over bet.

Race 12 (11:02 PM EST)

4-Helpfirstedition (5/2)-Will use this 3-year-old instead of the 9/5 chalk #3. This Essig trainee has been off, but only since
8-8 rather than 7-20 which is the case for Texas Soprano. De Long should have forwardly placed off the gate.
6-Ponda Jet (2-1)-Has taken pictures in 7 of the last 9 races and was 2nd when not winning. Should be on the point or near the lead every step of the way.

Race 13 (11:24 PM EST)

1-Dirty Image (6-1)-Steps up after drawing off by over 4 lengths. Tetrick sticks and can get the top or land in the 2-hole. Either could work for the top check.
3-Always Floating (12-1)-Dropped to face this kind in last, was 13 lengths back at the first call and finished 5th. Had been facing tougher and could surprise at a big price with a better start.
6-Parklane Odds (3-1)-Got a perfect trip in last and took a picture. May not be as easy this time but is a main player at probably a small price. Oosting steers again and should be racing with the leaders off the gate.

Race 14 (11:46 PM EST)

1-General Dolan (3-1)-Benefits from some class relief, likes racing near the top of the stack and this post draw should help. Beaten chalk should be a main player and could make amends tonight.
9-Tellmeaboutit (7/2)-The post helps the price and has beaten straight Open company a couple of times in July at HoP. Best to respect, the fractions should be lively, and this veteran can fly down the lane.

Charles Town Pick 4 Ticket | Friday, Aug. 25 August 25, 2023 | By Frank Carulli
CHARLES TOWN PICK 4
Friday, Aug. 25

A full field of 10 – with a combined 74-214 record and average earnings of $600,000 – is scheduled to run in the $1 million Charles Town Classic this Friday in West Virginia. The Classic is part of an all-stakes Pick 4 with a guaranteed $100,000 pool that shapes up this way:

CT 10th race (9:44 P.M. EST) -- VAHVA, her troubled starting habit as a 2-year-old apparently in the rear-view mirror, is poised for a run at her first stakes victory in the $750,000 Charles Town Oaks (G-3). She can make good use of her speed from the rail in her first try sprinting around two turns and under the lights in a full field of 10 sophomore fillies. She ‘offered a mild late kick’ in the stretch when third in the 6-1/2F Victory Ride (G-3) at Belmont that timed in 1:15-3/5. She chased the late Maple Leaf Mel, a dazzling multiple G-3 winner who led at every call in winning her first five starts, and stakes victor Dazzling Blue, who went wire-to-wire in her first three starts by a combined 16 lengths. Hall of Famer John Velazquez gets the call on tonight’s solo play to lead off the Pick 4.

CT 11th race (10:25 P.M. EST) -- The top three finishers in the G-3 Cornhusker Handicap at Prairie Meadows last month reunite in the featured $1 million Charles Town Classic (G-2) at the same 1-1/8-mile distance. GIANT GAME found front-end gears as needed in a visually strong victory before he set the pace and tired in the G-1 Whitney at Saratoga next out. CALL ME FAST advanced inside on the final turn and made a menacing run abreast of the leader in mid-stretch but flattened out late in the Cornhusker. California-based PERFECT FLIGHT is a must use on the ticket at 15-1 on the morning line. He awakened in an allowance win at Delmar, when he traveled well throughout and burst through a stretch opening, looking more like the horse who was a stakes-winning dirt router and multiple graded-placed turf router as a 3-year-old. DOUBLE CROWN is another longshot to consider after he broke poorly in an allowance victory at Laurel Park, advanced in-hand until the stretch and wore down the pace-controlling favorite.

CT 12th race (10:55 P.M. EST) -- THE SKY IS FALLING will have to defend her title in the $75,000 Sadie Hawkins Stakes from post 10. She made up 9 lengths to win an allowance race that improved her 7F record to 6-for-8, then fired two bullets in the morning works since then. LUCYLOU WHO dueled with a pesky longshot on the backstretch, shook clear on the turn but couldn’t fend off the ‘Sky’ on the stretch-out from 4-1/2F to 7F. MOONLIT SHADOW broke alertly from the outside post against the top pair, backed off a duel to avoid a wide trip and was in contention 4-wide until the stretch. LUCKY BLONDE finished second to Great Spirit (5-7, $170k) in the Sylvia Bishop Memorial Stakes and she could sit an ideal stalking trip while in top form.

CT 13th race (11:25 P.M. EST) -- FANCY CONCHO hasn’t won since he was put up through disqualification in last year’s $75,000 Frank Gall Memorial Stakes. But he held good form and is a live price play off his latest effort. He lost several lengths when squeezed at the start, trailed into the second turn and advanced smartly between rivals to finish a willing third behind odds-on Muad’dib (14-17, $783k), who was entered earlier tonight in the featured Charles Town Classic. SOCIAL CHIC was the disqualified Gall winner last year, but he’s 8/2-2-2 since then with an average 84 Beyer and a :35-3/5 bullet workout last Saturday over the track. In his most recent start, he saved ground after he bumped a rival at the start, ranged into contention for the stretch drive but couldn’t stay with stable-mate and multiple stakes winner Coastal Mission, who is 5-5 at Charles Town. NO CHANGE has eight allowance wins at Charles Town and a stakes win at this distance on his resume, though none from post 10.

Suggested 50-Cent Ticket
CT 10th Race: 1

CT 12th Race: 2, 3, 8, 10
CT 13th Race: 3, 5, 10

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks Remington Park - Race #8


Picks
Notes


#5 Ruby the Destroyer
She's back fresh for this one after trying stakes company on a week's rest back in May, and she might find a perfect trip while tracking the pace on the cutback. Tough.


#2 Mamashavnahotflash
She's dangerous on her best day, but she's also got a lot of really dicey running lines on her with hard late fades. Capable player, but I don't have a whole lot of enthusiasm here tonight.


#3 Broadway Dash
She's fast enough to be in the picture early, but I wonder if she might have a mild enough pressing gear to avoid taking the worst of this early? Seems playable.


Race Summary
Ruby the Destroyer should find a good spot in here while never too far out of things, and the cutback, class drop, and freshening may all combine to get her back to something competitive.


Remington Park - Race #9


Picks
Notes


#2 Family Time
She scored twice here last season including on one the turf, and the change in scenery might wake her up after the form started to sour against tougher company. Think she can be tough.


#3 Island Hideaway
She has some room to bounce back after a dull winter and spring in Louisiana and Texas, as her local form has been pretty solid in the past and she occasionally shows enough positional pace to suggest she can spy the speed players early.


#4 Medella Match
A little worried that she might have some company from the rail runner, but either way she's tough here if she can bring her best stuff. I worry she'll get overbet, too.


Race Summary
Island Time was no match in Hot Springs this winter, but she's back fresh and has been a good fit when facing the local runners in the past.


Remington Park - Race #10


Picks
Notes


#8 Tuff Mandate
He might just be too cheap for these, but I like that his form has generally been reliable, and he might trip out from the outside draw with a good spying trip. Hoping a battle unfolds right in front of him.


#3 Big Muckity
Nothing wrong with the two starts so far, and there is likely some upside left for this guy with just two career starts under his belt. The win last out was solid on the front end, but I don't think he needs to be there for his best.


#2 Eakly
Tactical speed was outrun and never got involved in his season finale last year, but he's back off the bench in a spot where his baseline try from last year would probably hit pretty hard. Obvious player, but I'd think about it if the price starts to get short.


Race Summary
Tuff Mandate has some questions to answer here while making his first start over the local footing, but he has been a pretty consistent type so far and could get a pretty sweet go of things at a nice price.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks Gulfstream Park - Race #1


Picks
Notes


#7 GRAND BIRDIE (2-1)
Best on paper, gets speed to run at, adds blinkers for return.


#8 THANK THE ACADEMY (4-1)
Ran second in both long sprints despite troubled starts.


#5 LAVEAU (3-1)
Finished second in 5 of 9 starts at Gulfstream, mostly in shorter sprints.


Race Summary
GRAND BIRDIE stalked the 7-to-5 winner while 4-wide and finished a clear second in a $35,000 maiden claiming route race. The class drop, June 18 vet scratch and three-month layoff since her last start is cause for concern, but her best effort should win this. Bet to win and place.


Gulfstream Park - Race #2


Picks
Notes


#3 BOY O’BOY (9-2)
Chased geared-down fave at 1M on turf, better suited to sprinting at this distance.


#5 DUNDIE (2-1)
Joseph firster been prepping since May; dam was 4-22 and stakes winner of $115k.


#6 RED DOG (7-2)
Returned with Lasix, tipped wide in lane, just missed, objection was disallowed.


Race Summary
BOY O’ BOY was no match for the favorite on the Tampa turf, but he ran well with first-time Lasix and has good 5-1/2F main-track form to summon. He was reluctant to load and no factor chasing a fast pace two back, but he finished second twice at 5-1/2F to start his career, the second time against My Billeeboy, who came back with a 16-1 upset in allowance company. Bet to win and place.


Gulfstream Park - Race #5


Picks
Notes


#6 LADY DOMINANCE (8-1)
Showed little in return, winless on main track, still deserves second look.


#7 ZISISIT (9-5)
Upgraded pair of seconds, edged away in slow-paced route as odds-on choice.


#1 MORNING COLORS (9-2)
Been unable to carry speed a distance, needs careful rating by Gonzalez.


Race Summary
LADY DOMINANCE faded to ninth in a grass route in her 2023 debut, but piled up the checks in a lightly-raced 4-year-old season. She was slowed by the pace in a pair of routes on Gulfstream’s all-weather track, getting beat 4 lengths by Smart Spending (6-22, $126k) while racing wide to cap her $50k season.

# 9 MONTI POWER JAM 5/1




# 7 RF FEAR THE EAGLE 6/1




# 8 ONE TUFF CORONA 3/1




MONTI POWER JAM should be supported as the bet in here. Bustamante has one of the best winning percentages in this group of horses with entries running at this distance and surface. The Equibase Speed Fig of 51 from her most recent contest looks very strong in here. Solid jock with trainer figs make this horse a strong betting selection. RF FEAR THE EAGLE - Should expect this pony to be close on the wire versus these racers. ONE TUFF CORONA - Look for a much better effort with the drop. This conditioner has the strongest ROI in this group with entries running at this distance and surface.

OKEY PRISSY MOUNTAIN is my choice. Earning some nice profits in short contests. Has been racing solidly and has among the best speed in the race for today's distance. With one of the most favorable jockeys in terms of gains at the window, don't count this filly out.

#7 SPEEDY HANS (ML=8/1)
#4 KLICKITAT (ML=8/1)
#14 H P MOON (ML=7/2)
#1 MICROSECOND (ML=6/1)


SPEEDY HANS - This horse has a lot of class. A good sign in a race on the grass like we have today. This gelding is in nice form. Ran sixth on July 27th. Coming off a sixth place finish at Saratoga, some may pass this horse. I'm not. He just missed hitting the show spot, and has respectable odds today. KLICKITAT - Have to give this gelding a chance. Ran a solid race last race out within the last month or so. Aboard this horse on July 27th and Torres is right back in the irons in today's contest. This gelding is clearly on the improve with speed figures of 75, 80, 88 last three out. H P MOON - This horse is racing on the turf for the first time. He should be tough, coming off a first place finish in his race on January 22nd on a sluggish track. Rice has a very solid win pct in grass routes. This gelding should be ready to win. Lower impost of -6. In my opinion, a movement of 5 is important, so this gelding falls into this category. Rice is good with horses moving to the turf for the first time. You have to figure this gelding is going to be in contention in this race. MICROSECOND - This gelding is in good form, having run a nice race on Jul 27th, finishing fourth. Coming off a fourth place finish at Saratoga, some may pass this horse. I'm not. He just missed hitting the show spot, and has respectable morning line odds today. This gelding is certainly on the improve with speed ratings of 31, 52, 86 last three out.

Vulnerable Contenders: #13 DUST DEVIL (ML=2/1), #2 HIGH TIDE (ML=5/2), #5 LANDBISCUIT (ML=3/1),

DUST DEVIL - This probable favorite may be out of condition without any recent morning drills. HIGH TIDE - Hard to take this pony at the odds after the result (tenth) in the last race. This gelding registered a speed fig in his last race which likely isn't good enough today. LANDBISCUIT - Recorded a mediocre speed rating last time around the track in a $25,000 Claiming race on July 27th. Unlikely to see an improved performance off of that rating.






STRAIGHT WAGERS:

Put your money on #7 SPEEDY HANS on the nose if you can get odds of 7/2 or more

Century Mile - Race #7 - Post: 9:15pm - Optional Claiming - 8.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $19,500 Class Rating: 89

Rating: https://www.trackmaster.com/images/golden.jpghttps://www.trackmaster.com/images/golden.jpghttps://www.trackmaster.com/images/golden.jpg

#7 PARKING PERMIT (ML=8/1)
#3 KYSTONE (ML=5/2)
#2 SILVERFOOT (ML=10/1)
#5 FLASHFORDANI (ML=3/1)


PARKING PERMIT - The ROI when Malvaez and Walper team up is terrific. Malvaez rode this horse for the first time in the last race and comes right back this time. Look for this one to go straight on to victory at some respectable odds in this event. Ran fourth in last race, but not more than 5 from the lead at the end. KYSTONE - I'll forgive that last race on August 5th when he was a beaten favorite. That race was pretty good for a $17,500 Optional Claiming race and this gelding's speed fig was solid. I like a thoroughbred that manages to hit the board as often as this gelding. Almost always in the money so don't leave him out of your exotic bets. This gelding's last rating garnered on August 5th is at the top in last race speed figs. SILVERFOOT - I like to bet on this handicapping theory, a horse coming back off a good effort within the last month. That recent bullet 47.8 work shows that this gelding is ready for a top race today. The ROI when Nelson and Nicholson partner up is good. Nicholson, the trainer, shows intent by adding Lasix right here. A positive sign. FLASHFORDANI - I really like that latest race on August 11th at Century Mile where he ended up second. Last two races were sprints. Longer races have to be his best game and he should be considered a play in this route.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 CREDIBILITY (ML=4/1), #4 BACKSTREET BOBBY (ML=5/1),

CREDIBILITY - Would have to move up off that fifth place finish last out to make an impact here. BACKSTREET BOBBY - Hard to keep stabbing at this kind of 'bridesmaid' horse.

Saratoga Hotlist - August 25
Aug. 24, 2023


By Matt Shifman and Bob Ehalt
Hot List Key:
A: A preferred horse to watch B: Secondary horse to watch
*C: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 1st through 3rd
*D: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 4th or worse
* - 4 or more betting notches if 11-1 or more.
2nd race [Clm 16000 N2L, 7F] – (3) Vax was claimed from a third-place finish in a $40,000 open claimer by Linda Rice and makes this big drop in price and race condition. (4) Our Rosie Diamonds stepped up to $25,000 claiming where she had the lead and just missed by a neck. (2) La Aquililla made a big drop in class to this level and finished second after rallying from last. (5) Trust the Numbers was a debut winner at Tampa for Chad Brown in 2022 and made only one other start in March at Aqueduct in an allowance.
7th race [OC 62K/N2X, 6F] – (2) Unsung Melody (B) was third in the Wilton at Saratoga behind the winner that just came back to take the Alabama (G1). She got taken up early in that race and has speed in a better spot. (3) Headland won her last two starts. She was claimed for $50,000 two races back and then won a third-level allowance in an excellent performance for Linda Rice. (8) Ontheonesandtwos returned from a year layoff and set the pace in a similar spot for Norm Casse who is winning at 56% at Saratoga. (5) Hydra was claimed from a victory for $40,000 last time and placed in a Grade 3 at Aqueduct in the spring.
8th race [Alw 149500 N1X, 1 3/8 mi TURF] – (1) Avenue Niel (B) was off slowly in her American debut after getting bounced around, got to the lead, and finished third. (4) Anatolian actually finished ahead of the top choice in their most recent starts. She has raced in long turf races recently. (6) Sweet Dutchess finished in the top three in 10 out of 12 starts in allowances. (7) Modern Love was an $825,000 yearling purchase who second in her first start for Ian Wilkes after moving from Chad Brown.
9th race [Personal Ensign, 1 1/8 mi] – (5) Nest was an impressive winner of the Shuvee (G2) last month in her first start of the year when she defeated Clairiere by more than two lengths. On that day the field was lacking any early speed and Nest was able to sit in second-place before taking control of the race at the top of the stretch. (6) Clairiere draws the far outside post and will again make the last run trying to overtake the pace setter and Nest in the final yards of the race. (1) Idiomatic won the Delaware Handicap (G2) last month and the Shawnee (G3) at Churchill Downs and is likely to be on the lead in her first try in a Grade 1. (3) Secret Oath will try and recover from a poor performance in the Ogden Phipps (G1) at Belmont Park in June. She won the Azeri (G2) at Oaklawn Park in March.
Best bets: Avenue Niel (8th); Nest (9th). Best value: Vax (2nd); Unsung Melody (7th).

Del Mar Hotlist - August 25
Aug. 24, 2023


By Bob Ehalt and Matt Shifman
Hot List Key:
A : A preferred horse to watch B: Secondary horse to watch
*C: Went down 2 or more betting notches in the final 3 minutes and finished 1st through 3rd
*D: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 4th or worse
* - 4 or more betting notches if 11-1 or more.
1st race – (4) Tickle My Fancy cuts back to a sprint and should prove best here. (2) House of Magic will be dangerous if he takes to turf. (6) Katerini fits nicely in this spot. (7) Keychain Girl is worth a look off the claim. Betting strategy: 4 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-4. Exactas: 2-4 over 6-7 and 6-7 over 2-4.
3rd race – (3) Sushi Sticks is drilling sharply for her career debut and should handle this field. (5) Acclaimed Preacher could contend while switching to turf. (6) Lady Lithesome seems set for a good showing in her debut. (1) Harney Lane has the right pedigree for turf. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-5-6. Doubles: 1-3-5-6 with 1-3-6.
4th race – (3) Wynstock debuts for Baffert and looks best here. (1) Rothschild could take a step forward in this field. (6) Ultra Power seems primed for a solid effort in his debut. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-6.
6th race – (3) Handsome Harry could perk up in a claimer. (6) Halo Uncle will welcome a return to dirt. (2) Wicked Facts could be a factor in his debut. (4) Havoc could move forward off his debut. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-3-4-6. Doubles: 2-3-4-6 with 1-3-4-8.
7th race – (8) Rose Maddox didn’t fire on turf but will be well-suited by turf. (4) Ultimate Hy has a nice late kick and looks like the one to fear. (1) Chancery Way could be tough to catch from the rail. (3) Eddie’s New Dream is in sharp form and cannot be overlooked. Betting strategy: 8 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-4-8.

# 3 RED DIRT HOT SHOT 7/5




# 4 TEEN DREAM 3/1




# 6 ARTFULLY DEALT 7/2





RED DIRT HOT SHOT looks really strong to best this group of horses. This nice horse may have some hidden form, a trip to the winner's circle would be a pleasant surprise. Had one of the best speed figures of the race in her last race. I'd recommend using in your wagers. Many horse players back this mare on the driver/conditioner rankings alone. TEEN DREAM - This standardbred could get the win here beginning from the Tioga Downs 4 post. Seems to have a good class edge based on the standardbreds she has faced. ARTFULLY DEALT - Has the makings of a profitable play, averaging a rather good 74 TrackMaster speed fig. This nice horse looks dangerous considering the high class figures. We wouldn't recommend tossing out of any exotics.

# 5 UNCUT GEM 2/1




# 3 KENTUKYLADY 3/1




# 9 SAULSBROOK C HORSE 8/1





Really keen on the chance of UNCUT GEM taking down the winner's share in this one. Cannot put a finger on it, but back this mare for a wager. Has the makings of a profitable play, averaging a rather good 87 speed rating. Been racing with some tougher customers of late, has a distinct class edge. (Average Rating 86). KENTUKYLADY - Worth considering in here if only for the very nice speed figure earned in the last race. Talk about a dynamic duo, Kauffman and Arnold have some of the best driver-trainer markings at the track. SAULSBROOK C HORSE - Overall stats look good. Can't throw her out of the picture. Could beat this group of horses, just look at the TrackMaster Speed Rating - 85 - from her most recent effort.

Doc's Sports

Free Soccer Prediction from Doc’s Sports. Spanish LaLiga Take Las Palmas/Real Sociedad to DRAW (1:30 p.m. EST, Friday August 25) We love the draw here for the first LaLiga matchup of the weekend. Real Sociedad doesn’t seem to have the winning touch like last season. They already have one fourth of their draws from last season (8) this season (2) through two matches. We have seen before that teams have long stretches where they collect only one point because they don’t have the winning spirit. Las Palmas is a newly promoted club but they have been plucky and have been playing great defense. They allowed only two goals in their first two matches. They have earned a point so far this season, and at home here we think they can earn another point. Real Sociedad is the better club, but three points is always tough on the road in LaLiga, and Las Palmas have shown they are no pushover. This one has a real low total, which always increases the chances for a draw.

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Guardians/Blue Jays UNDER 8.5

The Cleveland Guardians have been held to 3 runs or fewer in seven of their last nine games overall. The Toronto Blue Jays have been held to 4 runs or fewer in 12 of their last 15 games overall. Runs will be hard to come by for both struggling offenses against these two starting pitchers tonight.

Tanner Bibee is 9-3 with a 3.01 ERA and 1.205 WHIP in 20 starts for the Guardians this season and has been one of the most underrated starters in baseball. Bibee fired 7 shutout innings in a 1-0 victory over the Blue Jays on August 8th in his lone career start against them.

Chris Bassitt has been great at home this season at 6-2 with a 2.83 ERA and 0.930 WHIP in 12 home starts for the Blue Jays. Bassitt has posted a 3.30 ERA and 1.167 WHIP in five career starts against Cleveland. He fired 6 shutout innings in his last start against the Guardians.

Bassitt is 7-0 UNDER as a favorite of -125 to -175 this season. The UNDER is 13-3 in Bassitt's night starts this season. The UNDER is 29-14 in Blue Jays last 43 games overall. Toronto is 10-0 UNDER in its last 10 games vs. poor power teams averaging 0.75 or fewer homers per game. The UNDER is 4-0 in four meetings between these teams in 2023 with 1, 1, 4 and 7 combined runs. Bet the UNDER in this game Friday.

ASA

#109/110 ASA FREE PLAY ON Under 37 Points – Detroit Lions vs Carolina Panthers, Friday at 8 PM ET -
These 2 offenses have been brutal this preseason to say the least. Carolina has 19 total points in 2 games while Detroit has 28 total points in their 2 contests. The Lions have a special teams TD as well this preseason so they’ve actually scored just 21 offensive points. The Panthers have run 104 total plays in the preseason gaining only 390 total yards for just 3.75 YPP. The Lions have run 119 total plays in the preseason for 485 total yards or 4.07 YPP. Panthers coach Frank Reich has stated he will play his starters for a few series and Detroit will sit their regulars. Once starting QB Young exits, Carolina will lean on 2nd year QB Corral who has thrown for less than 200 yards in his 2 games in the preseason. We’ll see another vanilla game plan from each team offensively and Under is the call.

Friday MLB Free play. My selection is on Kansas City over Seattle at 10:10 pm et on Friday.

The Royals salvaged the finale of their three-game series in Oakland on Wednesday. Following an off day on Thursday I look for them to relish the spoiler role in Seattle on Friday. Brady Singer will get the start for Kansas City. He struggled last time out, allowing four earned runs in just 3 2/3 innings of work against the Cubs in Chicago. Note that the Royals had won Singer's previous four starts prior to that shaky outing. He has allowed three earned runs or less in five of his last six trips to the hill, working at least six innings in four of those starts. Mariners rookie Bryce Miller has been hot, allowing only two earned runs over his last three starts. Note that he has struck out only four batters over his last two outings, covering a span of 12 innings. The two bullpens have been a virtual wash over the last seven games. Note that Kansas City's relief corps has combined to convert 14 saves while blowing only seven on the road this season. Take Kansas City.

AAA Sports

1* FREE PLAY on Braves -151.

These teams played last weekend, and the Braves went 2-1. We're expecting ATL to take advantage of this now floundering Giants side. Spencer Strider (14-4, 3.57 ERA) gets the nod for the visitors, while Logan Webb (9-9, 3.36) counters for the home side. Evenly matched starters here, but look for the momentum that ATL has to be carried over here; consider the Braves!
