Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Presque Isle Downs - Race #4

#8 Warrior's Mission	Think you could go a few different ways in here, and this guy is getting short on excuses, but I think he gets a great run against this crew from the high draw while going third off the break. Top try might do the trick.
#6 Big Run	He's supposed to be tough on a lot of counts here with a perfect first-over trip waiting for him and some reasonable upside in the second lifetime start, but I worry the price is going to reflect that -- especially considering he was 3/2 on the board in the debut run.
#2 Sealand	Thought about having him on top in here, as he's got the pace to play early against this group while going second off the bench, but I wonder if he might take just enough pressure to be forced to settle for a share. Could be tempted if the price were right....
Race Summary	Warrior's Mission should get a great trip here while spying the speed throughout, and I think he might offer a playable enough price in a spot where Big Run and Sealand both probably take some cash, too.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #6

#4 Faster	Feels like a fairly wide-open race, and he has those back runs on the Turfway synthetic that all stack up well enough here. Would love to see him just settle for a closing run again today.
#8 Hard Mission	He is another who makes some sense in here from off the pace, and he's only got a length to turn on another one of the logical players for the new barn. Enough to like.
#10 Meant to Be Lucky	He feels extra dangerous now that he has at least that mild rating gear, as the off-the-pace score last out got him over the top after a few pace-and-fade runs prior. In the mix.
Race Summary	Faster has some appeal at what might be an OK price here, as there are a few tough players drawn outside in this one and he may be able to save a bit of ground and finish.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #8

#5 Don't Blame Court	Worried he's going to get bet too hard here, but I think he's going to be a handful at the end of the day. He's got some tactical speed and some ability to stay on, and that's a dangerous combo at this level with the tightener under his belt. Expecting he lands this.
#9 Foggy Bar Blues	Barn does good work in these kinds of spots, so take a look at him on the tote and track ahead of this. He's not meeting a whole lot, so he won't need to be a whole lot to share right out of the box.
#2 Shesa Mischieflady	Just a bit of tactical pace from her through two starts late last year, but she's back in much softer spot today while getting Lasix for the first time. Wouldn't be any surprise.
Race Summary	Don't Blame Court looks like he can be tough here if he got something out of the comeback run, and he should be in line for another great trip in a race without any serious finishing punch on paper.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Penn National - Race #1

#5 HEPHEPCUTDOWNNETS (7-2)	Good enough to beat this field if he duplicates lone turf sprint try.
#2 DESIGNED BY SMARTY (6-1)	Back-pedaling since maiden romp to start year, enters new barn.
#3 NEW YORK STRONG (2-1)	Money-burner averages 64 Beyer without winning in last 8 turf sprints.
Race Summary	HEPHEPCUTDOWNNETS won a MSW dirt sprint off the claim for this barn, but he takes the class plunge after his form tailed off in four starts since then. He starts off similar rest to when he won and he has a decent turf sprint race to summon, albeit in 2024. He lost his path early and improved late against the likes of multiple stakes-winning sprinter Kale’s Angel ($412k), allowance winner Cullen J (2-8, $118k) and Cajun Golf, who went wire-to-wire in a $50,000 maiden claimer on the Gulfstream Park lawn in February with a 78 Beyer. Bet to win and place and play 5-2 and 5-3 exactas.

Penn National - Race #5

#3 HOUGHTON SHUFFLE (4-1)	Overpowered the favorites under confident handling, taken to three-peat.
#6 A VOTRE SANTE (6-1)	Dueled through turn, went down fighting against 3-to-5 trip-sitter.
#8 SUNDAY SPIRIT (6-1)	Parx shipper has five wins in last seven ‘starters’ at longer distances.
Race Summary	HOUGHTON SHUFFLE stalked a pair of sub 2-to-1 favorites in-hand, angled out 3-wide nearing the stretch and proved best in the final eighth of a 6F allowance victory for his new connections. No reason to think he can’t repeat at a distance which he’s 7-for-9. Bet to win and place and play 3-6 and 3-8 exactas.

Penn National - Race #7

#3 FREEDOM MAKER (7-2)	Steady miler, won at this level, stablemate provides good target to run at.
#6 WHISKEY ALLEY (2-1)	Son of Breeders’ Cup Classic champion plays catch-me-if-you-can.
#7 SOLAR GLARE (5-1)	Finished 1-2-3 in his last three starts for $10,000, changes riders again.
Race Summary	FREEDOM MAKER, no factor in a one-turn mile on a sloppy Laurel Park track, could get back on the winning track at his maiden-breaking distance. He was fortunate to win through disqualification two starts ago after he ranged up alongside the favorite on the turn, altered course in the stretch and continued willingly to the wire. Bet to win and place and play 3-6 and 3-7 exactas.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #8 - Post: 6:39pm - Maiden Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $14,000 Class Rating: 60

Rating:

#7 HOT GAMER (ML=8/1)
#4 SHAUNNASAPRILFOOL (ML=4/1)


HOT GAMER - The May 24th race at Churchill Downs was at a class level of (68). Dropping down in the class scale considerably, so she should be in a good position. This filly is rounding her way back into shape. Should run well today. SHAUNNASAPRILFOOL - Really believe this horse is going to be right there at the finish line.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 DONT BLAME COURT (ML=3/1), #9 FOGGY BAR BLUES (ML=7/2), #1 HOPE RISING (ML=9/2),

DONT BLAME COURT - When examining today's class rating, she will have to notch a much better speed figure than last time out to battle in this dirt sprint. FOGGY BAR BLUES - Doesn't look to have enough positive aspects to support the value.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Have to go with #7 HOT GAMER on the win end if we get at least 3/2 odds
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [4,7]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Pass

Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight - 8.0f on the Turf. Purse: $38500 Class Rating: 62

IND - R6 - FOR REGISTERED INDIANA BREDS SIRED BY REGISTERED INDIANA STALLIONS MAIDENS, THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 120 LBS.; OLDER, 124 LBS. IF THIS RACE IS TAKEN OFF THE TURF, IT WILL BE RUN AT 1 MILE AND 70 YARDS ON THE MAIN TRACK.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 10 MY LUNAR CHARM 9/2
# 3 ENGINE SOL 3/1
# 5 TOKAJII 10/1

MY LUNAR CHARM looks to be a solid contender. With Moncada getting the mount, watch out for this equine. Could beat this group given the 60 speed figure recorded in his last outing. Have to play this gelding with the sound earnings per start in turf route races. ENGINE SOL - Might best this group of horses here, showing decent figures of late. Ran a sharp last race. TOKAJII - He has recorded very good figures under today's conditions and should fare well versus this field. Will almost certainly go to the front end and might never look back.

Race 4 - Claiming - 5.5f on the Dirt. Purse: $11000 Class Rating: 55

FOR FILLIES AND MARES THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NEVER WON THREE RACES. THREE YEAR OLDS, 120 LBS.; OLDER, 125 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $10,000

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 4 NORMA JEAN BLING 3/1
# 1 RAILEY JEAN 3/1
# 3 POSETIVELY PERFECT 5/2

I've got to go with NORMA JEAN BLING. The Equibase Speed Figure of 53 from her last race looks competitive in here. Always difficult to beat Dixon and Fletcher working together, winning 22 percent of their races. Profitable jockey and trainer team, with a +169 return on investment. RAILEY JEAN - Looks respectable versus this field and should be one of the early speedsters. Recently Kimes has been scorching which may give the edge to this mare. POSETIVELY PERFECT - She has put up very good figs under today's conditions and ought to fare well against this group. Looks formidable versus this group of horses in this race and will most likely be one of the early speedsters.

Louisiana Downs - Race #4 - Post: 5:30pm - Claiming - 7.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $8,500 Class Rating: 89

Rating:

#2 EASTSIDE COOL (ML=5/1)
#7 Z Z'S PRINCE (ML=5/1)
#6 PATH TO SUCCESS (ML=5/2)
#1 DAN D'ORO (ML=2/1)


EASTSIDE COOL - This pony should go right out to the early lead and may never look back. Could gate to wire the field. Rode this thoroughbred on May 16th and Lozada is yet again in the irons in today's contest. I like this gelding. Has the top earnings per race in here. Z Z'S PRINCE - I think that a sprinter coming off a layoff will usually run his best in the 3rd or 4th start back. Using this jockey/handler combination is a good move. This gelding might as well call Louisiana Downs home. Don't overlook how he races well over this venue. PATH TO SUCCESS - This thoroughbred coming off a strong contest in the last 30 days is a strong challenger in my opinion. A win percent like 36 is terrific for any rider/trainer twosome. This gelding might as well call Louisiana Downs home. Don't overlook how he races well over this venue. DAN D'ORO - This gelding is in good form, having run a nice race on June 2nd, finishing first. It looks like Hernandez had to become familiar with this gelding on Jun 2nd when riding him for the initial time. Back on board again today. This gelding's last speed figure is lofty enough to win here, I'll wager on him right back in today's event. Past performance data show this horse with three improving speed figures. Hernandez should be on a horse ready to go right here.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 KINGSCOTE (ML=5/1),

KINGSCOTE - Just can't invest in this runner. Didn't show me anything positive last time around the track or on May 16th.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Put your money on #2 EASTSIDE COOL on the nose if you can get odds of 4/1 or more
