Mahoning Valley Race Course - Race #10 - Post: 4:26pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $10,500 Class Rating: 65

Rating: 3

#11 NORTHERN TRACK (ML=2/1)
#3 BARNESLAND (ML=3/1)

NORTHERN TRACK - Have to give this gelding a chance. Ran a good outing in the last race within the last 30 days. Chatterton drops him down to this class. You don't need too much more knowledge to figure that this horse should have a chance to win at this level. That 66 fig this gelding earned in his last event tells me he's a big time player this time. BARNESLAND - This front-runner is shortening up today. Should promote his chances. Ceccato brings him right back. I advocate you stay with this hot gelding.

Vulnerable Contenders: #12 LOUIE'S HIGHWAY (ML=6/1), #6 AL PONY CHINO (ML=8/1),

LOUIE'S HIGHWAY - Hard to put your cash on the win end of any mount that finishes second and third as frequently as this entrant does. Common speed figure last race out at Mahoning Valley Race Cour at 1 mile 70 yards. Don't believe this steed will improve too much in today's race. AL PONY CHINO - This racer just hasn't looked sharp recently. Hasn't hit the board in any short distance affairs lately. Unlikely to see him doing it this time either.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - NORTHERN TRACK - Posting three superb speed ratings in the last three races. This mount is primed to beat these thoroughbreds today.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Go with #11 NORTHERN TRACK on top if we're getting at least 7/5 odds

EXACTA WAGERS:
Box [3,11]

TRIFECTA WAGERS:

Parx Racing - Race #3 - Post: 1:19pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $24,000 Class Rating: 72

Rating: 4

#7 GIANT ROCKS (ML=2/1)

GIANT ROCKS - This gelding likes to sit just off the pace and the way things shape up here, he should get a 'dream' trip. Caballero and Caraballo perform well when they team up. It's hard to beat a +56 return on investment for a jockey and conditioner. Caraballo brings him back again. I advocate you stick with this hot gelding.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 CATAPULT JACK (ML=9/5), #4 ALJAMRY (ML=6/1), #3 NILE GOLD (ML=8/1),

CATAPULT JACK - Last ran on Dec 8th at Aqueduct, finishing fourth. Not likely to get better off of that performance in today's event. This probable favorite ran on December 8th and hasn't had a morning drill since. This mount will probably bounce off of the last strong outing. ALJAMRY - Don't believe this horse has what it takes to cross the finish line in first in today's event. NILE GOLD - 8/1 is too short of a price to take on most any animal that has run poorly in back to back races around the track. Not likely for this thoroughbred to make a winning move with no recent success in a sprint contest. Improbable that the speed rating he garnered on November 27th will be enough in this clash.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#7 GIANT ROCKS to win at post-time odds of 1/1 or better

# 2 VOCALLY 7/5

# 1 KATHY'S DAY RATE 6/1

# 4 RED SPRING 5/1

VOCALLY is my choice. Posted a formidable speed figure last time out. Is a solid contender based on figures garnered recently under today's conditions. This filly obviously likes the distance, going 5 out of 11 in her races lately. KATHY'S DAY RATE - Howard has this filly travelling well and is a competitive pick based on the very good speed figures put up in sprint races recently. Put up a sound speed fig in the most recent race. Can run another good one in this race. RED SPRING - Has longshot potential and could win at a big price. The drastic drop in company can only help this one this time out.

# 7 OSTINI 8/1

# 5 Y O L O CAT 6/5

# 4 NO SUPAH FOR YOU 4/1

OSTINI looks strong to best this group particularly if the morning line of 8/1 holds. He has recorded solid figs under today's conditions and will most likely fare well against this field. This gelding could improve with second time Lasix. Could best this field based on the speed rating - 65 - of his last effort. Y O L O CAT - This gelding should be given a chance just off the earnings per start in dirt sprint events alone. Is tough not to consider based on Equibase Speed Figures which have been quite good - 65 avg - of late. NO SUPAH FOR YOU - Ought to compete soundly in the pace battle which bodes well with this field. With a solid 63 speed rating last time out, will surely be a factor in this contest.

Jim Feist's Comp Pick

NBA (509) MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS (510) LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS

Take: over

Reason: Your free play for Tuesday, January 2, 2018 is in the NBA scheduled contest between the Memphis Grizzlies and the LA Clippers. The Clippers have really improved of late, winning three straight games and five of their last six games. They have also covered three straight and are 8-1-1 ATS their last 10. While the Clippers average 105.5 ppg this season, they are averaging 117.8 ppg their last five and allowing just 106.4 ppg. The Clippers have gone OVER in six of their last eight games with one day rest and 4-1 O/U their last five overall. The Grizzlies are just 5-13 on the road this season adn 12-25 overall. Memphis is 4-1 O/U their last five and 4-1 O/U their last five vs the West conference. In addition, the last five meetings in this series have gone OVER. I like how the Clippers are scoring of late and therefore I'm taking the OVER.

SCOTT SPREITZER

Clippers-5

I'm recommending a play on the Clippers minus the points. Memphis beat LAC 115-112 at home 10 days ago. Blake Griffin hadn't returned to the floor for the Clippers at that point, but he is now and the Clips are finding success. LAC enters on a 3-game winning streak. They've won five of their last six overall, and the Clippers have been padding bankrolls, currently on a 10-1-1 ATS run. Griffin has scored 25 and 24 points in his first two games since returning to the lineup, while grabbing a total of 13 rebounds and dishing out one dozen assists. And while this is a play for us without Austin Rivers, there is a chance he could return tonight. Memphis has covered just 5 of their last 21 games with one day off between games, while the Clippers have covered five in a row at home. We'll lay the points with the Clippers on Tuesday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

LARRY NESS

My 1* Free Play is on the LA Clippers (10:30 EST).

Memphis comes in having traded wins and losses over its last four, most recently crushing Sacramento 114-96 on Sunday. LA comes in having won three straight, most recently taking care of Charlotte with a 106-98 victory at home on Sunday.

Note that this is a big time revenge game for LA, as Memphis has taken the first two of the season series between the clubs already.

Memphis averages just 98.7 PPG, while conceding 102.1. Big man Marc Gasol averages 18.5 points, 8.5 boards and 3.9 assists per game.

LA averages 105.5 PPG and concedes 105.7. Blake Griffin is back from a MCL injury and he averages 23.7 points, plus 5.7 boards per game.

I’ll point out that the Grizzlies though are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven following a straight up victory, while LA is 5-0 ATS in its last five at home and 6-0-1 ATS in its last seven following a SU victory.

This is the final game of a road trip for Memphis and I think it gets caught looking ahead. With Griffin back in the mix, all cylinders are firing in LA right now. Consider laying the points in this particular matchup.

Good luck…Larry
