RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 8 HAMMERS VISION 1/1

# 3 SURFING U S A 5/1

# 6 REFUSEING 30/1

My selection in this contest is HAMMERS VISION. Could provide positive gains based on very good recent speed figures with an average of 80. Pennington will most likely be able to get this gelding to break out early for this event. Ran a strong last race. SURFING U S A - Had one of the strongest speed figures of this group in his last race. Should be used in the exotic bets.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 1 WASCALLYWITTLEWABBIT 5/2

# 4 BIG DADDY DIRT BAG 2/1

# 5 MR BOO RADLEY 8/1

I think WASCALLYWITTLEWABBIT is a strong choice. Is a key contender - given the 79 speed figure from his most recent race. Could best this field here, showing respectable figs of late. This colt is a contender based on his earnings per start in longer quarter horse races. BIG DADDY DIRT BAG - Has been racing solidly and has among the strongest speed in the race for today's distance. Sedillo has him trained soundly to break sharply out of the gate. MR BOO RADLEY - With a formidable 58 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's contest. Must be in good form if the conditioner is bringing him back so quickly.

Mountaineer Park - Race #8 - Post: 9:34pm - Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $8,000 Class Rating: 68

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#1 DESERT FRONTIER (JPN) (ML=6/1)
#4 CAPTAIN REGAN (ML=3/5)


DESERT FRONTIER (JPN) - I predict an ideal trip. Stalk the leaders, and surge on the turn. The improved speed figs over the last 3 races is strong. Demczyk drops him in this clash fit and ready to go. CAPTAIN REGAN - This thoroughbred could be tough this time, especially since Oliveros rode last time around the track and now should be familiar with this one. When Oliveros and Clouston are put together on animals the ROI has been fantastic at +198. Ran in the last race against tougher competition at Mountaineer Park. The move down in class ranks should suit him well. Earnings per race is something that I feel can be a vital factor. This horse is ranked number 1 in this bunch. A repeat of that latest performance on May 4th where he recorded a rating of 72 looks lofty enough to triumph in this race.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 PIAZZA DEL CAMPO (ML=4/1), #2 DENUNCIATION (ML=5/1), #5 FARMER PHIL (ML=8/1),

PIAZZA DEL CAMPO - Hasn't been getting close at all lately. Earned a pedestrian speed rating last out in a $10,000 Claiming race on May 4th. Improbable to see an improved performance off of that number. DENUNCIATION - Don't feel this runner will make a winning move in today's event. That last speed figure was most unsatisfactory when compared with today's Equibase class figure. FARMER PHIL - 8/1 is just too low of a price to take on most any racer that has run poorly in back to back races. This gelding earned a rating in his last event which likely isn't good enough in today's event.



STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#1 DESERT FRONTIER (JPN) is going to be the play if we are getting 3/1 or better

#4 C J OMEGA (ML=8/1)
#3 LAUNCH LIGHT DREAM (ML=9/2)


C J OMEGA - This first timer has been getting primed in the morning at Prairie Meadows, a good sign. I have all the raw data you need right here. Dam stats for first timers, winners 50 percent of the time. LAUNCH LIGHT DREAM - I expect this mount to bewilder some fans today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 RED WHITE AND LOUD (ML=2/1), #5 CHA CHA NOW Y'ALL (ML=4/1), #6 MR. SOLO (ML=5/1),

RED WHITE AND LOUD - This gelding notched a speed fig in his last race which probably isn't good enough today. CHA CHA NOW Y'ALL - Finished third in his most recent effort with a run-of-the-mill speed figure. When I look at today's class rating, it would take an improved performance to triumph after that in this group. MR. SOLO - Doesn't appear to be in a satisfactory spot today.

Have to go with #4 C J OMEGA on the win end if we get at least 9/5 odds

G4 - Warriors at Blazers
Kevin Rogers

There isn’t much that can stop the Warriors on their way to a fifth straight Western Conference title. Not even playing without Kevin Durant for four consecutive games, including three in the conference finals. And rallying from a 17-point deficit in Game 2 and an 18-point deficit in Game 3 is old hat for Golden State, who is looking to knock out Portland for the third time in the last four postseasons.

The Blazers built a 62-45 advantage in the second quarter of Game 2 at Oracle Arena, but Portland was limited to 46 points after halftime in a 114-111 setback. Portland returned to the Moda Center for Game 3 on Saturday night seeking its sixth victory in seven home playoff games and an opportunity to sneak back into this series.

For the second straight game, the Blazers came out on fire as they led the champs, 60-42 late in the first half. Once again, the Warriors made the necessary “halftime adjustments” and outscored Portland in the second half, 57-33 to grab a 110-99 victory and improve to 5-2 away from Oakland in the playoffs.

No KD, no problem for the Warriors as Golden State rode the three-headed monster of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green to its 11th playoff victory in 12 tries against Portland since 2016. Curry continued to torch the Blazers by scoring at least 36 points for the third consecutive game in this series, while hitting 6-of-16 attempts from three-point range. Green posted his third triple-double of the postseason with 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists, while Thompson scored 19 points, representing the only three Warriors to reach double-figures.

The key to Portland’s success in this series (or any other series) is the backcourt duo of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum combining for at least 50 points. The Blazers went 7-1 in the first two rounds against the Thunder and Nuggets when Lillard and McCollum topped the 50-point mark. Through the first three games against Golden State, the Portland pair scored 36, 45, and 42 points, which has not been a recipe for success.

In Game 3, Lillard continued his recent playoff struggles by hitting 5-of-18 shots and scoring 19 points, while McCollum put up 23 points, including a 2-of-10 effort from three-point range. The starting frontcourt of Maurice Harkless and Al-Farouq Aminu combined for only eight points, while Portland missed 24 three-point attempts and misfired on 13 free throws.

Since 2015, the Warriors own a 5-3 SU/ATS when leading a playoff series, 3-0 with all eight contests coming away from Oracle Arena. Golden State last swept the Western Conference finals in 2017 when the Warriors wiped out the Spurs by 14 points in Game 4. All five of these victories by the Warriors in this span came by double-digits, including a 25-point rout of the Blazers in the 2017 first round.

NBA expert Tony Mejia checks in with his thoughts on Game 4, “The knowledge that Lillard is playing through separated ribs isn’t going to affect the Warriors’ game plan. Golden State is still going to send extra bodies his way to keep him from getting comfortable and make others beat him. At this point, given the second-half droughts that have impacted this series, Steve Kerr is quite comfortable with his strategy. Terry Stotts has already tweaked things by starting Meyers Leonard instead of Enes Kanter to run offense through him along the perimeter and has altered his rotation some."

“Lillard and others have missed good looks, so being on the verge of a sweep for the third straight year has been a collective collapse. For that reason, the Blazers remain dangerous, because it’s going to be very important to this group that they don’t go out at home or have to think about getting the broom treatment for another summer. If Green can’t manage to raise the Warriors’ intensity level the way he was able to in Game 3, taking points for pride’s sake shouldn’t be dismissed. We all saw the Blazers’ spirit get broken in Game 3, but the Warriors will have to beat them back for another 48 minutes on Monday night. That’s likely to be easier said than done. Teams facing a sweep against Golden State have gone 2-4 over the past few seasons,” Mejia said.

After closing as a 2 ½-point underdog in Game 3, the Warriors are flipped to a four-point favorite in Monday’s potential close-out game. Durant will be sidelined once again for Golden State to no one’s surprise and likely will not suit up at the earliest until the opener of the NBA Finals.
