The Walker Group Picks

# 3 SING PRADA SING 4/5

# 1 PICK N RUN 7/2

# 4 ALL EFFORT 3/1

I think SING PRADA SING is a strong choice. With a sound 65 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's race. Hard to pass on this filly with Diego in the irons. The Equibase Speed Figure of 72 from her latest race looks decent in here. PICK N RUN - Will probably compete well in the pace battle which bodes well with this group. Had one of the best Speed Figures of this field in her last contest. ALL EFFORT - This filly has a strong win percent in dirt sprint races. Will probably go to the lead and should never look back.

Penn National - Race #3 - Post: 6:59pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $16,400 Class Rating: 55

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#2 PAINTED CLOWN (ML=8/1)
#7 LETORT (ML=12/1)
#6 JOINER (ML=3/1)


PAINTED CLOWN - After the affair aboard this horse on April 18th, the jockey is going to be in touch with the gelding much better. Horse has improved at least 2 speed rating points in last 2 races. I look for that trend to continue in this race. LETORT - This dam (Sivory) has had strong success with first out winners, cashing 50 percent of the time. This rider and conditioner have a favorable ROI when they work together. First-timer has morning workouts over the Penn National strip, which is always a plus. Generally speaking, horses on Lasix for the first time should be considered. That's what we have here. JOINER - You'll be making money right and left by turning your gambling cash onto this rider/handler combination. Taking a trip down the ladder based on class; has the capability to make his presence felt. This gelding is utmost in earnings per race. Give the once over to this horse in the post parade.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 DYNA'S REFLECTION (ML=7/2), #1 BULLZILLA (ML=9/2), #9 AMERICAN ACTIVIST (ML=5/1),

DYNA'S REFLECTION - The Brain tells me to keep my distance from horses in short distance contests that haven't hit the board in short distance races lately. He showed not much at all in the last race. BULLZILLA - This vulnerable equine will most likely be way back as this bunch crosses the wire. AMERICAN ACTIVIST - This racer ran a pedestrian rating last time around the track. He shouldn't show signs of improvement and will likely suffer defeat in today's race running that rating.



STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Putting our cash on #2 PAINTED CLOWN to win. Have to have odds of at least 4/1 or better though

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#7 RIFF RAFF (ML=9/2)
#1 ACADEMY BAY (ML=8/1)


RIFF RAFF - Birzer was aboard this gelding last time around the track and was impressed enough to take the horse right back. Faced tougher in the last race at Oaklawn Park. Based on Equibase class ratings, this is a weaker field, so I will put this animal on my list of strong contenders. Great chance for this pony. Strong late speed and should have good position. Another way to judge class is earnings per start. This thoroughbred has the uppermost in the bunch. I think he'll be close at the finish line. Smith moves this horse here to Prairie Meadows from Oaklawn Park. Looking at the horse's past performance lines, he has shown the ability to win on different racing tracks. ACADEMY BAY - Dropping in class rating points from his April 27th race at Fonner Park. Based on that knowledge, I will give this horse the edge. This horse's last fig is high enough to prove victorious here, I'll invest in him back again in today's event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 MINEFIELD (ML=5/2), #2 PREACHER TIME (ML=5/1), #4 FIFTYSHADESOFBAY (ML=6/1),

MINEFIELD - This morning-line choice may be out of condition without any recent workouts. In any event of 6 furlongs, I like to support a contender that has been sharp in sprint events of late. PREACHER TIME - Showed very little in the last race. Really no reason to expect any improvement today. FIFTYSHADESOFBAY - Tough to wager on any entrant in a sprint affair if he hasn't hit the board in a sprint in the last couple months.



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

# 2 AFFIRMATIVE JANE 15/1

# 6 INFORM ME 4/1

# 1 PRINCESS ZENN 3/1

AFFIRMATIVE JANE looks to be a very good contender especially at a long price. Make a note that this one runs with second time Lasix today. Could best this group of horses based on the Equibase Speed Figure - 52 - of her last contest. Her chances to win are much better this time out facing this softer bunch. INFORM ME - Have to consider solely on class, with some of the most competitive class figures of this group. PRINCESS ZENN - She has a good opportunity for this race as handler, Craigmyle, has sharp win clip with horses going this distance.

Toronto Raptors vs. Milwaukee Bucks Preview and Predictions 05-17-2019 in NBA

The top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks rallied to win the series opener and shoot to make it two straight wins over the visiting Toronto Raptors in Friday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. The second-seeded Raptors led by seven after three quarters in Game 1 before being outscored 32-17 over the final 12 minutes as the Bucks recovered for a 108-100 home victory.

Milwaukee scored the final 10 points of Wednesday's contest and ramped up its defense down the stretch by preventing Toronto from making any of its last eight field-goal attempts. "I think it speaks a little bit to the character of the group," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters. "They just stick with it. I think it's become a little bit of a theme in the playoffs: I think eventually, hopefully, we feel like if we stick with what we're doing good things will happen for us." Raptors star Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points but only two came in the final stanza -- both on free throws -- as he struggled through a 10-of-26 shooting performance. "He was playing at a very high level," Toronto shooting guard Danny Green told reporters. "He's still playing at a high level, but to score the way he was scoring and that efficiency, if he did that for the rest of his career, he'd be known as probably the greatest of all-time. That's hard to do. So naturally the numbers are going to balance out. But he's still shooting some pretty good percentages."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, TNT, TSN (Toronto) LINE: Bucks -6.5

ABOUT THE RAPTORS: Point guard Kyle Lowry averaged 12.4 points and shot 41.5 percent from the field in Toronto's first two series but he had his best game of the postseason with 30 points and seven 3-pointers, the latter a playoff career high, in Game 1. "Just whatever it takes to win the game," Lowry told reporters after going 7-of-9 from long range. "Individual stuff doesn't do anything for me. I want to win games. Maybe we've got to figure out what we can do better to win the game and close it out and play better." Getting Green untracked is another goal as the 31-year-old is averaging just 5.3 points on 4-of-16 over the past three games.

ABOUT THE BUCKS: Center Brook Lopez was superb with 29 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots in Game 1 after averaging just 5.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in the five-game conference semifinals against the Boston Celtics. Lopez scored 13 of his career playoff-high output in the fourth quarter and he got back to playing a key role for Milwaukee. "I think we did a great job of just sticking with what we've been doing all postseason long," Lopez told reporters. "Shots didn't go in early, but we did a great job of grinding it out, played great defense and just stuck with it. Then things started going our way."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Bucks star PF Giannis Antetokounmpo contributed 24 points and 14 rebounds in the opener for his sixth double-double of the postseason.

2. Toronto PF Pascal Siakam was 6-of-20 shooting in Game 1 and is just 27-of-76 over the past five contests.

3. Milwaukee G Malcolm Brogdon tallied 15 points off the bench and is averaging 12.5 points in two games since returning from a foot injury.

San Jose Sharks vs. St. Louis Blues Preview and Predictions 05-17-2019 in NHL

St. Louis Blues coach Craig Berube told reporters on Thursday that his team is intent on moving past the controversy that ended Game 3 of their Western Conference final and moving toward a better performance in Game 4. The host Blues aim to do precisely that on Friday when they bid to even the series at two wins apiece against the San Jose Sharks.

"It is hard (to move on), for sure. It's not easy to do. It's a test. That's how you look at it," Berube said Thursday. "It's a tough play, tough call, but it's just a test, and we've been tested over and over throughout the season and the playoffs, and I think we're pretty good at bouncing back. That's the way I look at it. It's a mental thing more than anything." The mental thing comes on the heels of the hand pass by San Jose's Timo Meier -- undetected by the officials and not reviewable under NHL rules -- that led to defenseman Erik Karlsson's goal 5:23 into overtime of a 5-4 win on Wednesday. "Well we weren't playing hand ball, were we? We were playing hockey, so I think we deserved to win this game," Karlsson said of the sequence leading to his overtime goal. The two-time Norris Trophy recipient joined the ageless Joe Thornton with two tallies in Game 3, with the 39-year-old becoming the oldest player in NHL history to record a multi-goal performance in a playoff game.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, CBC, TVAS LINE: Blues -1.5

ABOUT THE SHARKS: Lost in the hand-ball controversy was Martin Jones' performance in Game 3, as the oft-criticized netminder rebounded from yielding four goals in the second period to stop the next 15 shots that came his way. "It gets lost when we tie it up and win it in overtime," captain Joe Pavelski said. "But the critical saves he makes down the stretch ... (that) buys us some time to tie that thing up, were pretty important, pretty special." The term "pretty special" also describes the performance of Logan Couture, who has five goals and an assist in this series and 20 points (14 goals, six assists) in the postseason.

ABOUT THE BLUES: St. Louis' blue-line depth could be tested with Vince Dunn deemed day to day after his mouth was on the receiving end of a shot from San Jose defenseman Brenden Dillon on Wednesday. "He's very important," fellow blue-liner Jay Bouwmeester said of Dunn, who has seven points (two goals, five assists) in the playoffs after notching 35 (12 goals, 23 assists) in the regular season. "He's a guy that plays a lot of different situations, always on the power play. (At full strength), he's a guy that can skate and move the puck, helps to get it out of your end pretty clean." Carl Gunnarsson, who has been nursing a lower-body injury since Game 7 of the second-round series, would draw back in the lineup should Dunn be unable to play on Friday.

OVERTIME

1. Meier has seven points (two goals, five assists) in his last five games.

2. Blues LW David Perron has two goals and two assists during this series after mustering three points (one goal, two assists) in his previous 10 contests.

3. Sharks RW Kevin Labanc has three points (one goal, two assists) in the first three games of this series after recording just one in the seven-game set versus Colorado.

Max Scherzer has been off his game thus far this season, going 2-4 with a 3.64 ERA in nine starts. The Nationals are just 2-7 in his nine starts, and betters are down 9.1 units backing him. Hamels is 9-1 in his last 10 Friday starts. The Cubs are 6-1 in Hamels’ last seven starts. Chicago is 8-2 in its last 10 games off a loss. The Cubs are 20-7 in their last 27 games overall. The Nationals are 7-20 in their last 27 games off a win. Washington is 0-5 in Scherzer’s last five home starts. The Nationals are 0-6 in Scherzer’s last six Game 1 starts. Give me the Cubs.
