Mahoning Valley Race Course - Race #2 - Post: 1:12pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $13,400 Class Rating: 68

Rating:

#2 CIELO LINDO (ML=6/1)


CIELO LINDO - Multiple wins in this horse's life, all at Mahoning Valley Race Course. Could add another win in this event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 BRINGYOUROWNSAND (ML=8/5), #4 DOCTORIAT (ML=2/1), #6 GRAND STRATEGY (ML=5/1),

BRINGYOUROWNSAND - I don't possess a 'use' feeling about this runner in this event. DOCTORIAT - Today's event is 6 furlongs. Hasn't hit the board in a sprint affair in the last couple of months. Not the best of signals. GRAND STRATEGY - Today's event is 6 furlongs. Hasn't hit the board in a short distance contest in the last couple of months. Not the best of signals. I'd like to see better recent showings with morning line of 5/1.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Bet on #2 CIELO LINDO to win if you can get at least 1/1 odds

Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight - 10.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $32000 Class Rating: 83

FOR MAIDENS, THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 121 LBS.; OLDER, 124 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 PER DIEM 5/2
# 2 AHNAF 2/1
# 9 PAINTSVILLE 6/1

PER DIEM looks to be a decent contender. He has been running strongly as of late while recording very strong Equibase Speed Figures. Kobiskie has him trained solidly to break promptly out of the gate. Posted a strong speed fig in the latest race. Can run another good one in this contest. AHNAF - Is a solid contender - given the 68 Equibase Speed Figure from his most recent race. Has been travelling in the most competitive company of the field as of late.

Zia Park - Race #8 - Post: 3:09pm - Maiden Claiming - 8.3 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $5,000 Class Rating: 54

Rating:

#1 LORELEI'S WARRIOR (ML=8/1)
#4 ESTEEMED (ML=5/2)
#3 MO CERVEZA (ML=7/2)


LORELEI'S WARRIOR - Always watch out for the longer priced horse when a trainer has an 'uncoupled' entry in a race. Faced tougher last time out at Zia Park. Based on Equibase class ratings, this is a weaker bunch, so I will put this horse on my list of strong contenders. ESTEEMED - This gelding ran well in his last race but just couldn't beat the winner. Note that he was well clear of the show horse, and looks like a major contender in this field. I'll forgive that last effort on Oct 26th when he flopped as the betting favorite. That race was pretty good for a $7,500 Maiden Claiming race and this gelding's speed fig was solid. Earnings per race is something that I think can be a very valuable handicapping aspect. This mount is ranked at the very top in this field. MO CERVEZA - Armstrong drops him down to this class. You don't need too much more handicapping info to think this horse will be one to beat at this level. Three consecutive improved speed ratings (14-26-51) make this thoroughbred a dominant contender.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 TOSS THE FLAG (ML=4/1), #8 GO TOWER GO (ML=9/2), #9 BINGHAM'S FLASH (ML=5/1),

TOSS THE FLAG - Should be difficult for this horse to beat this field off of that last speed fig. Not likely to improve enough to run a figure anywhere near today's class rating, so put him on the likely underlays list. GO TOWER GO - This colt hasn't been showing me anything positive in the last two outings. Could be tough for this horse to beat this group off of that last speed figure. Unlikely to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's Equibase class figure, so put him on the likely underpriced contenders list. BINGHAM'S FLASH - If you keep playing these kind of 'bridesmaid' types, you're going to be disappointed regularly.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - ESTEEMED - Comparing last speed ratings in this field, nobody beats this gelding. Tops in the field with a last speed rating of 63 on October 26th.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Put your money on #1 LORELEI'S WARRIOR on the nose if you can get odds of 7/2 or more

Race 6 - Claiming - 5.5f on the Dirt. Purse: $10200 Class Rating: 80

FOR ACCREDITED OKLAHOMA-BREDS THREE YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NOT WON A RACE SINCE JULY 2, 2020 OR WHICH HAVE NEVER WON FOUR RACES. THREE YEAR OLDS, 120 LBS.; OLDER, 124 LBS. NON-WINNERS OF A RACE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2, 2020 ALLOWED 3 LBS. A RACE SINCE JUNE 2, 2020 ALLOWED 5 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $5,000

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 IRISH CAPITAL 4/1
# 3 STARWARD 8/1
# 5 SHOTGUN'S NIGHT 3/1

IRISH CAPITAL gets the edge as the bet in here. Padilla has him trained solidly to break quickly out of the gate. Is a key contender - given the 65 speed fig from his most recent race. I think having Steinberg ride this gelding is a smart move. STARWARD - Will most likely come out sharp - I have liked the way this gelding has moved quickly to the lead recently. Had one of the best Equibase speed figs of this field in his last contest. SHOTGUN'S NIGHT - This gelding has a strong win percentage in dirt sprint races. In this field, this entrant is ranked high in earnings per start in dirt sprint events.

NCAA-B | South Dakota State vs Iowa State
Play on: South Dakota State +1½ -109 at Draft Kings

Dave’s Wednesday Free Play:
1* on South Dakota State +1.5
The Key: South Dakota State went 22-10 last year and now returns all 5 starters. They return Conference Player of the Year Douglas Wilson, who averaged 18.7 PPG and 6.4 RPG last year. He and fellow big man Matt Dentlinger combined to shoot 62.8% from the field. Dentlinger averaged 12.2 PPG and 6.0 RPG. Sophomores Alex Arians and David Wingett combined for 17.4 PPG and 11.3 RPG last year while both shooting at least 35% from 3-point range. Noah Freidel averaged 12.2 PPG and shot 39.5% from 3 and 85.2% from he line. And they have good depth with Baylor Sheierman (6.0 PPG) and Tray Buchanan (6.3 PPG). The Jackrabbits have been tested in their 1-2 start with competitive losses to WVU and St. Mary’s as well as an upset win over Utah State in blowout fashion, 83-59. Now they take on an Iowa State team that lost a lottery pick in Tyrese Haliburton to the NBA Draft. They missed him clearly in their opener as they trailed Arkansas-Pine Bluff 34-37 at halftime as 33-point favorites. They went on to win the game by 17 but didn’t come anywhere close to covering. And they shouldn’t be favored over this veteran, skilled South Dakota State team tonight. The Jackrabbits are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games overall. The Jackrabbits are 26-9-1 ATS in their last 36 games off an ATS loss. Take South Dakota State.

PICK - West Virginia Mountaineers +9
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 675
There's just too much value here to pass up with the Mountaineers. Gonzaga came into the season ranked No. 1 and have looked every bit the part. They took down No. 6 Kansas 102-90 and crushed Auburn by 23 points (90-67). The books aren't going to keep letting the No. 1 team keep covering.
This is a ton of points to be laying on a neutral floor against a team as talented as West Virginia. The Mountaineers are ranked No. 11 in the AP Top 25 and No. 8 in KenPom. That's projectecting them out as a No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Not to mention that this is an experienced West Virginia team that brought back a lot from last year's 21-win team. They returned 4 starters and 8 of 10 overall who averaged 13 or more minutes. They have beat 3 potential tournament teams in South Dakota St, VCU and WKU.
I think their ability to slow the game down when they have the ball and make Gonzaga work for a shot on the defensive end could make this a much harder game for the Bulldogs than some people might think. Maybe Gonzaga is that much better than the field, but this early I'm taking the points in this spot every time. Give me West Virginia +9!
