Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight - 8.0f on the Turf. Purse: $36000 Class Rating: 70

FOR TEXAS ACCREDITED MAIDENS, FOUR AND FIVE YEARS OLD. WEIGHT, 123 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 5 PHARME'S PHAITH 2/1
# 1 COWBOY RIDGE 5/2
# 2 FANDO 9/2

PHARME'S PHAITH is my choice. With a strong 69 average Equibase Speed Figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's race. Has formidable early speed and ought to fare solidly against this field. With a solid 72 speed rating last time out, will definitely be a factor in this race. COWBOY RIDGE - He looks formidable in this slot and I expect will be on the front end or close at the halfway point. Could best this group of horses based on the speed figure - 70 - of his last effort. FANDO - Could best this group based on the Equibase speed fig - 68 - of his last race. Must be carefully examined here on the basis of the figures in the speed section alone.

NCAA-B | Michigan State vs Rutgers
Play on: Rutgers -2½ -112 at pinnacle

Dave's Thursday Free Play:
1* on Rutgers -2.5
The Key: The Michigan State Spartans have been off since January 8 due to a COVID pause. It's only fair to expect them to be rusty in their first game back in action here 3 weeks later. It's not like they were playing well anyway as they are 2-4 SU in Big Ten play with their only wins against Nebraska and Rutgers. That places the Scarlet Knights in revenge mode here as they host the Spartans this time around. Rutgers has been one of the best home teams in the country over hte past couple seasons. The Scarlet Knights are 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 home games. Rutgers is 20-8-1 ATS in its last 29 games against a team with a winning record. The Spartans are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Take Rutgers.

NCAA-B | Memphis vs SMU
Play on: SMU -3½ -115 at Mirage

1* CBB - Memphis/SMU *FREE PICK* on SMU -3.5
Today's free pick is on SMU -3.5 at home against Memphis. These two teams played on Tuesday at Memphis. We backed the Tigers -2 in that matchup and cashed in a 76-72 win. Now we fire back with the Mustangs on their home floor as a small favorite. There wasn't a lot that separated the two teams in the meeting on Tuesday. Both teams shot right around 50% from the field, rebounding was almost identical (32-31) and 3-pointers made were 11-10 in favor of SMU. One thing that I think could flip here is free throw attempts. SMU only attempted 6 free throws to the Tigers 25. Both these teams on the season average right around 18 free throw attempts per game. Add in the home court edge and motivation for SMU off a loss and it's easy to see the value with the Mustangs in this one. Bet SMU -3.5!
