Rating:
#11 JAZZY TIMES (ML=8/1)
#10 REAL NEWS (ML=7/2)
#4 FAST BOAT (ML=4/1)
#3 IMMA BLING (ML=8/1)
#6 DANCE PROUDLY (ML=20/1)
JAZZY TIMES - All systems look good for this gelding. Last workout, 2nd fastest of the day, shows he's fit and ready. I'm focusing on the class of this race horse, and this one is the 'classiest' of the bunch. Getting a break of 6 pounds from last race at Churchill Downs. He should make the most of this advantage. REAL NEWS - Looking at this colt's running lines, I see he's almost always in-the-money. This horse may have too much power on the turf for the rest of the field. Moving down the stretch, he could put these away. He has the topmost EPS (earnings per start). Take a good look at this horse. FAST BOAT - This one likes to win on different racing tracks. The switch in venue today may be a wake up call. I seem to always make money betting Sharp horses on the turf. That barn has a dominant win pct for this distance/surface. Beschizza knows this animal pretty well. Strong win percentage of 50 when horse and jockey work together. IMMA BLING - Based on works, I look for this gelding to run a big race. DANCE PROUDLY - Made a nice mid-race move on December 12th only to hang down the lane. Should improve off of that effort. Getting a break of 7 lbs from last race at Turfway Park. He should make the most of this advantage.
Vulnerable Contenders: #9 RICHARD'S BOY (ML=9/2), #1 ROGER BROWN (ML=6/1),
RICHARD'S BOY - In the last event this steed finished fifth. Doesn't bode well for his chances this time around. Most of the time I need a sprinter to have some success lately in short distance events in order to bet on him. Run-of-the-mill speed fig last time around the track at Remington Park at 5 furlongs. Don't believe this steed will improve too much today. ROGER BROWN - This gelding hasn't had any recent good results in sprint races. I find it hard to invest in him in this race. The extended rest time will probably be too much to overcome for this pony.
