Laurel - Race #3 - Post: 1:30pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $22,000 Class Rating: 69

Rating: 3

#7 EYESFIRST (ML=3/1)
#3 HERMANS GOLD (ML=10/1)

EYESFIRST - Outran his odds in his first start. Look for another strong effort today. Aboard this horse on November 13th and Prado is right back in the irons this time. Prado and Salzman getting together are a horseplayer's friend. This thoroughbred isn't the M/L favorite, but finished ahead of today's M/L favorite in his last race (Nov 13th at Laurel). This colt is in superb form right now. Ran third last race out and comes back quickly. You have to really like that recent race figure, 62, which is the top last race speed figure of this field. HERMANS GOLD - Trainer Robb gave this gelding a nice long drill. That's a really good sign.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 HASTA AHORA (ML=5/2), #2X SIR BRAHMS (ML=5/2), #6 BUSTIN TO BE BAD (ML=9/2),

HASTA AHORA - Should have at least hit the board in the last couple of months in a sprint affair to be any kind of value at low odds in a sprint. Tough to play any horse to turn things around if there is no value to taking the risk. This gelding notched a speed figure in his last race which probably isn't good enough in today's race. SIR BRAHMS - Not probable that this equine will finish better than he did last time out of the box when placing sixth. BUSTIN TO BE BAD - Don't think this mount is worth 9/2 in this event.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Go with #7 EYESFIRST on top if we're getting at least 7/5 odds

# 3 AILANIS LITTLE BAY 4/1

# 4 THE REAL QUEEN B 5/2

# 1 JODYS POINT 7/2

I've got to go with AILANIS LITTLE BAY. Will most likely be one of the early speedsters of the bunch going into the halfway point of the contest. Posted a formidable speed figure in the most recent race. Can run another good one in this affair. Is difficult not to examine based on speed figures which have been formidable - 65 avg - of late. THE REAL QUEEN B - Samuels ought to be able to get this filly to break out early in this race. Recorded a formidable speed figure in the last race. Can run another good one in this race. JODYS POINT - Must be given a chance - I like the figures from the last contest.

Rating:4

#8 TEN SILVER DOLLARS (ML=8/1)
#1 MAJESTIC KOA (ML=20/1)
#3 PRETTY VENEZUELA (ML=7/2)

TEN SILVER DOLLARS - This mare is in nice form. Finished second on Nov 20th. I think that a sprinter coming off a layoff will usually run her best in the 3rd or 4th start back. MAJESTIC KOA - I definitely see good luck for this thoroughbred right here. PRETTY VENEZUELA - The November 19th affair at Parx Racing was at a class level of (75). Dropping down the ladder based on class considerably, so she should be in a good spot. Have to make this filly a win candidate; she comes off a sharp contest on November 19th.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 VALIANT SPIRIT (ML=8/5), #9 LITTLE ALANA (ML=9/2),

VALIANT SPIRIT - This filly is always around, but just doesn't win. Hard to play her on the win end. LITTLE ALANA - Tough for anyone who saw this questionable contender in her last contest to wager on her in today's event.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Play #8 TEN SILVER DOLLARS to win if you can get odds of 3/1 or more

# 4 HOW ABOUT HIM 5/1

# 5 LASSIE'S REWARD 6/1

# 3 SERBIAN SYCLONE 9/5

I've got to go with HOW ABOUT HIM. Has solid front speed and should fare solidly against this field. Horses who have been prepared to race at this distance and surface by Rarick have shown sharp results lately. Could best this group based on the speed fig - 88 - of his last contest. LASSIE'S REWARD - Has respectable early lick and ought to fare soundly versus this group. Has a sharp record at the distance and surface, which makes me back this gelding. SERBIAN SYCLONE - He has earned competitive figures under today's conditions and should fare well versus this group. Overall the speed figures of this animal look strong in this contest.

Colin Cowherd

Steelers (-5.5) at Bengals

Colin doesn’t like swallowing points, but absolutely loves Steelers laying 5.5 on the road against AFC North rival Cincinnati in what might be his favorite pick of the year.

Pittsburgh is 4-2 ATS over their last 6, and 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 on the road in Cincy. They’re 6-0 when Le’Veon Bell has 100+ scrimmage yards this year, and Cincinnati’s defense has allowed 146.2 Rush YPG over their last 6 games. In his first game against the Bengals in Week 7, Bell racked up 192 total scrimmage yards, and has averaged 119.8 YPG with 4 touchdowns in his last 4 road games.

Pittsburgh should be able to pound the rock all day and the defense should stifle Andy Dalton.

Take the Steelers, lay the 5.5.

34-23, Steelers.

NBA (519) DETROIT PISTONS VS (520) SAN ANTONIO SPURS

Take: UNDER

Reason: Your free play for Monday, December 4, 2017 is in the NBA contest between the Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs. Detroit is having an excellent season at 14-8 S/U and 14-7-1 ATS. Tonight they face San Antonio (15-7 S/U, 11-10-1 ATS) which had to play last night at Oklahoma City. This makes the Spurs in the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here while Detroit had a day off. Anytime a team plays the 2nd of a back-to-back spot I look for them to slow down the next game. The Pistons have been a very good Under team. They are 1-7 O/U their last eight road games and 1-11-1 their last 13 against the Southwest division. These teams have gone UNDER in four of their last five meetings. That's just what I will be looking for tonight, take the UNDER.

JOEY JUICE

Both Milwaukee and Boston are coming off of underachieving, easy wins that should have been much easier.

Let's face it, the Celtics are a superpower this year, the only surprise is that it has been their defense not their offense that is responsible for this success.

Milwaukee is on an uptick ever since they added Bledsoe to their starting lineup. However that won't be enough to stop this Boston team at home where they are so very tough and determined to win in front of their faithful .

A quick look inside the numbers confirms a Boston victory is most probable.

Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.

Boston is the free play.

3* BOSTON

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Detroit Pistons +3.5

The San Antonio Spurs are in a tough spot here after losing 87-90 in Oklahoma City last night. They will now be playing their 3rd game in 4 days and won’t have much energy left to face the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are have been one of the best teams in the NBA up to this point, going 14-8 SU & 14-7-1 ATS in their 22 games. They will be hungry after losing two straight road games to Washington and Philadelphia coming in, and they are the fresher team after having yesterday off. The Pistons are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 8-0 ATS in their last eight road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than 60%. Give me Detroit.

ANDRE RAMIREZ

BENGALS +6

Both teams are coming in with heavy injuries, but the Steelers will be light!
For the Steelers, two players have already been ruled out for this prime-time game, Joe Haden(fibula) and Vance McDonald (ankle). There were a pair of starters dealing with ankle injuries, and Mike Mitchell has been listed as doubtful for the AFC grudge match.
The biggest injury to watch will be the toe injury of Antonio Brown. After being a full participant in the team’s first practice of the week, he missed the following practices and is officially listed as questionable. While many are suggesting the injury is minor, toe injuries have been known to linger and cause a major roadblock to players getting back on the field.
Not all the news was bad for the Steelers, and the good news was that Ryan Shazier (ankle) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) were not on the final report, meaning they’ll be in the lineup when the two division rivals kickoff.
The extra week to prepare and rest up is a big plus for Cincinnati in this matchup, while home-field advantage serves as a nice bonus for Pittsburgh. Defensively, these teams are about as evenly matched as you can get. But the Steelers should have the edge on offense if they place an emphasis on getting the football into the hands of Le’Veon Bell as much as possible. That should make the difference as Pittsburgh earns another close, hard-fought, win in this storied rivalry on Sunday.
This game will be close, and will be decided by a field goal.
