R MERCEDES BOY appears to be the bet in here. Baxter has shown excellent profits (+29 ROI ) with horses in dirt sprint events. Will probably go to the front end and might never look back. Must be given consideration based on the formidable speed rating recorded in the last race. GUMP - When this jockey and handler team up, players often make money. Earning some good dough in dirt sprint races. JACKSON - Recent figures for the jockey - 17 win percent - make this colt stand out in this group.

	# 3 RUN BLACK RUN 2/1
# 5 CARIBBEAN STORMY 5/2
# 2 GUADIANA QUEEN 10/1

RUN BLACK RUN looks like the bet in here. Have to wager on this colt with the strong earnings per start in dirt sprint races. With Diaz aboard him, this colt will probably be able to break out early for this event. Has decent Equibase Class Figures relative to this group - worth a look. CARIBBEAN STORMY - Must be given consideration given the class of races run as of late. Recent numbers for the jockey - 37 win percent - make this colt stand out in this group. GUADIANA QUEEN - Could go off at a decent number and has some positives going for her. Must be considered given the class of races run lately.

Rating:

#2 CAT GIUMARELLO (ML=5/1)
#8 PLAY ME A MEMORY (ML=4/1)
#5 CLARE'S DOWERY (ML=9/2)


CAT GIUMARELLO - When this jock and handler team up you have to take a look. Milan and Catalano have been fabulous together. That 73 fig this mare garnered in her last contest tells me she's a chief player this time out. PLAY ME A MEMORY - Looking at today's class figure, this thoroughbred is encountering an easier group than last time around the track at Aqueduct. I like this mare. Has the top earnings per start (EPS) in today's contest. CLARE'S DOWERY - A horse coming back this quickly after a good race is a good omen.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1A WOWWHATABRAT (ML=5/2), #1 MOON VIRGINIA (ML=5/2), #7 HOLA PRINCESS (ML=6/1),

WOWWHATABRAT - I cannot play this repeated non-winner. Gets the assignment executed occasionally. Will be hard for this entrant to beat this field off of that last speed rating. Not likely to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's Equibase class figure, so put her on the likely underpriced equines list. MOON VIRGINIA - This racer hasn't been close to the winner at the finish line lately. The chalk horse is vulnerable here with the lack of drills. This vulnerable equine ran a mediocre speed figure last time around the track. She shouldn't run better and will probably suffer defeat in today's event running that figure. HOLA PRINCESS - Hard to put your dough on the win end of any thoroughbred that finishes second and third as often as this horse does. Garnered a run-of-the-mill fig last time out in a $7,500 Claiming race on November 2nd. Not likely to see an improved performance off of that figure.

Rating:

#3 MY FRIENDS BEER (ML=7/2)
#5 TAPPING THE GLASS (ML=5/1)


MY FRIENDS BEER - The jock and handler combination have a beneficial return on investment when they team up. Russell is right back for another event today after racing atop this horse for the first time on November 14th and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. I like to wager on this handicapping theory, a horse coming back off a strong contest within the last 30 days. TAPPING THE GLASS - Was in a Maiden Special race at Laurel last time around the track. That race had an Equibase class figure of 78 and he is moving down right here. A certain strong challenger.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 MONTAUK TRAFFIC (ML=3/1), #8 PARADISE PRIDE (ML=7/2), #6 FED FUNDS (ML=6/1),

MONTAUK TRAFFIC - In all probability won't make much of a mark today. PARADISE PRIDE - Can't wager on this racer in today's sprint of 7 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a sprint race recently. FED FUNDS - Don't believe this horse is worth 6/1 in this event.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - MY FRIENDS BEER - Analysis shows this colt's last speed number of 74 is as good as any. Don't overlook this colt in your betting.

Michigan has cooled off since their meteoric rise early in the college basketball season when they looked great out of confer but this Oregon team is one that can hang with any team in the land having lost to North Carolina and Gonzaga this Ducks team needs a quality road win and they would have that if they can take out Michigan. Michigan’s losses to Illinois and Louisville gave the Ducks the blueprint. Look for this game to be tied and the team with the ball last will take this game I will take any points.

Take 'Over' 40.5 Army vs. Navy (3 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 14)

This game is going to be a bit higher scoring than people think. Don't be surprised at all to see Navy hit 30 points by themselves in this one. Navy can be beaten in the air, and we know that Army struggles to do that, but they will hit some big plays just running their regular offense. This game has a 31-17 type feel to it and will cash the 'over' quite easily. Navy averaged 41 points per game throughout the month of November. And although we don't see them getting quite that high, the 'over' won't be a problem.

Tigers (+) over Volunteers- A pair of ranked teams from Tennessee will go at it as both are tied at No. 17 in the coaches poll. Memphis enters 8-1 and have won six in a row losing only to ranked Oregon while Tennessee (7-1) losing to ranked Florida State. These two come to play when facing each other as the underdog is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and that plays right into the trend that the Vols being just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games.

For Saturday’s freebie, we’ll head to Philadelphia and laying the chalk with Navy in the annual Army-Navy classic.



First off, this is a triple-revenge spot for the Midshipmen, who have lost three straight close games to Army (21-17, 14-13 and 17-10) after dominating this rivalry for more than a decade, winning 14 consecutive meetings from 2002-15.



It doesn’t take a telescope to see who the better squad is this year: Navy rolls in with a 9-2 record (8-3 ATS), the lone losses coming against 14th-ranked Notre Dame and 15th-ranked Memphis, and the 21st-ranked Middies are headed to the Liberty Bowl to face Kansas State. On the other hand, Army is 5-7 SU and ATS, and that sub-.500 record means the Black Knights will end their season today after going bowling each of the past three seasons.



And while Navy has several marquee victories on its ledger this season (Air Force, SMU, Houston), you have to look long and hard to find a signature win for the Black Knights: They beat Rice, Texas-San Antonio and Morgan State on their way to a 3-1 start to the season, then posted consecutive wins last month over god-awful UMass and Virginia Military Institute (VMI). In fact, Army’s best performance of the season had to be its 24-21 overtime loss at Michigan back on Sept. 7.



Besides the teams’ records, all the important stats also favor Navy in a big way. The Middies’ triple-option attack is averaging 361 rushing ypg (6 yards per rush); Army’s ground attack averages 311.7 rushing ypg (5.4 per carry). Defensively, Navy yields a scant 110 rushing ypg (3.4 per carry), while the Black Knights surrender 144 rushing ypg (4.2 per carry).



Yes, this is a big number to lay in what is arguably the most spirited rivalry in college football (if not all of sports). But keep in mind that Navy has scored 34 points or more in nine games (each of its victories), and six of its victories were by double digits (plus a 9-point win over Air Force). Conversely, Army is coming off a 52-31 loss at Hawaii two weeks ago, and if you eliminate explosive offensive performances in their four wins against horrendous competition—47 vs. VMI, 63 vs. UMass, 52 vs. Morgan State, 31 at UTSA—the Black Knights averaged just 21.3 ppg.



Also, during their 14-game winning streak over Army, the Middies posted 10 double-digit routs, with those blowouts occurring in seasons in which Navy was the vastly superior squad—just like they are once again today.

5* NAVY

Death, taxes and the Army-Navy game Under the total. Those are your three certainties in life!

My free play winner for this Saturday card is the annual Army-Navy game from a wet and rainy Lincoln Financial Field to hold Under the posted total.

Last season the Black Knights of Army scored on their opening possession and it looked for a little glimmer of time that we may actually see some points scored in this military matchup, but alas the game ended up with a total of 27 points in a 17-10 Army win that pushed the Under streak in this rivalry to an amazing 13 in a row LOW!

That's right, 13 straight series meetings have held Under the total, as the most points these rivals have combined for over the last 7 meetings is a grand total of 38 points.

With rain expected to be falling throughout this contest, and with both teams primarily known for their land-locked attacks that both know how to defense oh-so-well, unless this game features a rash of turnovers that lead to points, I do not feel we are going Over the total.

True, Navy has been primarily an Over team this year - 7 of 11 so far over the total - while Army stands at 5-5-1 in the Over/Under department for the season, but like I said these rivals know each other too well for me to think there are any surprises that will be pulled today.

Make it 14 in a row Under in the Army-Navy series today.

5* ARMY-NAVY UNDER
