Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar
#7 PRAY HARD (ML=5/1)
#2 ANOTHER SOURCE (ML=7/2)
#6 RAISE THE MAST (ML=4/1)
#4 STARLING'S LAW (ML=5/2)
PRAY HARD - The last time he tried this distance he got a fig good enough to win this race. This gelding is a gem of consistency, almost always on the board. When I handicap a race on the grass, I think sometimes class ratings are more important than speed figs. This horse has the highest average class in the entire bunch. Came home fast last out at Mountaineer Park. That type of move bodes well for his chances in this event. This horse is at the top in earnings per start (EPS). He looks strong in today's affair. ANOTHER SOURCE - Shipped in on Aug 27th to finish first here. Take right back again. Colon and Radosevich have had wonderful success together over the last twelve months. This thoroughbred coming off a solid effort in the last month or so is a strong challenger in my humble opinion. RAISE THE MAST - This front running sort is shortening up today. Should aid his likelihood of winning. Finished fourth at Mountaineer Park last out. Was close at the end and at odds of 4/1 today, he looks like a possible contender. STARLING'S LAW - Rivera is reunited today with this animal after enjoying some pretty nice success riding in the past. Last time out, ran the last quarter in less than 25 ticks. What that tells me is he can close well, and should be right there at the end this time around.
Vulnerable Contenders: #5 MYSTIC TIGER (ML=9/2), #1 JOYEUX (ML=6/1),
MYSTIC TIGER - Hasn't finished in the money in any short distance contests of late. Doubtful to see him doing it today either. JOYEUX - Last performed on Aug 6th at Mountaineer Park, finishing fifth. Unlikely to advance off of that performance in today's race. Generally I need a sprinter to have some recent success in short distance races in order to wager on him.
Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Turf Man - STARLING'S LAW - With the dominate speed number in sprint races on the turf, this gelding is going to walk all over these horses.
STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Go with #7 PRAY HARD on top if we're getting at least 4/1 odds
