Sam Houston - Race #2 - Post: 4:43pm - Maiden Special - 8.5 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $38,000 Class Rating: 87

Rating:

#4 HELIOCHROME (ML=7/1)
#9 KOBLA MAS (ML=9/5)


HELIOCHROME - Average Equibase class figure is tops in this field. I think that is a big advantage for a race on the turf. You always have to be on the patrol for revenue generating rider/trainer combinations; we have an instance right here. This horse collects a lot of cash per race. At the top in this race. KOBLA MAS - I sense a speed battle developing here. If that happens, this colt will be in perfect position to gather up the leaders.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 DYNA STRIKE (ML=9/2), #7 DECLARATIONOFSPEED (ML=6/1), #3 GUMBO (ML=8/1),

DYNA STRIKE - Registered a somewhat easily forgotten speed fig last time out in a Maiden Special race on Jan 31st. Improbable to see an improved performance off of that number. DECLARATIONOFSPEED - Just can't bet on this pony. Didn't show me anything in the last race or on December 4th. GUMBO - Don't believe this pony has what it takes to be victorious this time around.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - HELIOCHROME - Lasix can cure a good many ills. This horse is getting it for the first time today.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Bet on #4 HELIOCHROME to win if you can get at least 3/1 odds
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [4,9]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	None
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	Pass

Race 8 - Claiming - 8.3f on the Dirt. Purse: $18000 Class Rating: 85

FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NEVER WON FOUR RACES. WEIGHT, 124 LBS. NON-WINNERS OF A RACE AT ONE MILE OR OVER SINCE JANUARY 24 ALLOWED 3 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $7,500.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 SPEED SYNDROME 8/1
# 7 EARTHQUAKE 3/1
# 8 GRAND OASIS 7/2

My selection in this competition is SPEED SYNDROME especially at 8/1. I like the jockey on this gelding - decent chance to win the contest. Is difficult not to look at based on speed figures which have been solid - 75 avg - of late. Gamblers ought to feel comfortable with this selection given Castillo's recent dividends at the window. EARTHQUAKE - The handler wheels this entrant right back to race again. Overall the Equibase Speed Figures of this horse look respectable in this contest. GRAND OASIS - Well above average win rate at this distance/surface.

Picks for Tampa Bay's Wednesday Stakes

February 23, 2021 | By Jeremy Plonk

Tampa Bay Downs has a rescheduled stakes double-offering Wednesday with a pair of turf sprints sharing the weekday marquee. Let’s dig into the artificial intelligence of the app for a deeper dive into the main events, providing data-driven insight on an exciting day of racing at a track you may not always frequent.

Selections provided by the app measure each contender against the 10 leading factors for each race. The app looks at 52 handicapping factors and more than 200,000 past races to determine its AI selections. You can use the automated handicapping factors, or create your own factor filters to incorporate angles you prefer. We’ve included the official track morning line odds with the selections.

//

Tampa Bay Downs // Race 7 // 3:21 pm ET // Turf Dash Stakes // 5 furlongs (turf)

#5 The Critical Way (4-1 ML) // 31%W // 41%P // 50%S
#2 Imprimis (8-5 ML) // 13%W // 29%P // 40%S
#4 My Boy Lenny (15-1 ML) // 11%W // 21%P // 33%S ** main track only **
#9 Turned Aside (3-1 ML) // 9%W // 18%P // 33%S
#1 Oceanic (20-1 ML) // 7%W // 18%P // 24%S
#6 The Connector (8-1 ML) // 7%W // 16%P // 25%S
#11 Jazzy Times (15-1 ML) // 6%W // 15%P // 30%S
#3 Quarky (12-1 ML) // 5%W // 15%P // 19%S
#10 Fox Run (15-1 ML) // 5%W // 12%P // 22%S
#7 Arcadia Calls (20-1 ML) // 3%W // 8%P // 12%S
#8 Tench (20-1 ML) // 3%W // 8%P // 12%S

Notes: Imprimis and The Critical Way re-match from their Jan. 1 Janus Stakes first-third finish at Gulfstream Park, separated by only a neck in a 3-way photo finish. The Critical Way has the early speed and has won over the track already, while Imprimis is the classy finisher making his first start on Tampa’s lawn. Turned Aside is a multiple stakes-winning turf sprinter by American Pharoah, changing trainers from Linda Rice to Mark Casse for the first time. According to the Betmix database, Casse has more Tampa Bay Downs stakes wins since 2013 than any other trainer (14 total, 22% strike rate).

Tampa Bay Downs // Race 9 // 4:21 pm ET // Lightning City Stakes // 5 furlongs (turf)

#4 The Goddess Lyssa (3-1 ML) // 29%W // 38%P // 46%S
#10 Lenzi’s Lucky Lady (10-1 ML) // 12%W // 26%P // 36%S
#9 Jeanie B (6-1 ML) // 10%W // 19%P // 30%S

#13 Roman d’Oro (6-1 ML) // 3%W // 7%P // 10%S ** also-eligible **

Notes: Morning line favorite The Goddess Lyssa scores 17 points higher than the next-closest competitor, but will be racing on turf for the first time. She’s won 5 of 7 on dirt, including the Minaret Stakes. Speedy Lenzi’s Lucky Lady has made the lead at some point in 7 of her 8 career starts and offers value on the ML. Payntdembluesaway aims for 7 straight wins while rising in class. Royal Collection has won 3 of her last 4 against easier competition, takes on stakes runners for the first time, and is dismissed by thealgorithm despite 5-1 in the morning line.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Delta Downs - Race #1
Picks Notes
#6 Cheveyo He has been pretty flat in those last two, but he showed just a small bit of forward ability in the career best three-back run, and there is zero other speed signed on today. Go for it from the break at a price?
#8 Oops Wediditagain He looks like the one to beat off the useful debut run when finishing up nicely, and he's probably quick enough to sit a spying trip today in this paceless bunch.
#3 My Call He's a bit one-paced, but there isn't a whole lot in here, so that may play well enough to land him a piece underneath.
Race Summary Cheveyo might be fast enough to find the top in a race that should be pretty soft near the front end, and he might be the right one to beat the likely chalk, Oops Wediditagain

Delta Downs - Race #2
Picks Notes
#4 Tiz Showbiz Barn can get them home on the hike, and it's at least a little bit interesting that this guy steps up for this after two losses in claiming company when they could have easily risked him with cheaper after paying just $5k for him. I'm intrigued.
#1 Glory Road Most likely winner in here has some pretty nice names in the company lines throughout his career, and this spot will be much softer than what he was facing at Fair Grounds in recent starts.
#2 High Cruise Speed steps up, but that was a really nice effort when losing the blinkers last time out, and something similar puts him in the frame.
Race Summary Tiz Showbiz would have been more logical in any number of claiming spots, so the hike is maybe worth noting, and if he can step forward off that last one, he's not far off top honors here.

Delta Downs - Race #8
Picks Notes
#6 Purim King He didn't miss by much at this level a couple starts back, and he has just a little bit of versatility that should keep him in touch.
#7 Venn I guess he should be able to handle these on the move from FG, but the price will probably be on the short side, and it doesn't feel like he has to win this.
#1/1A White Entry Both halves of the entry bring spotty form, but they're both capable of running lines that would be fairly competitive here. Still, the 3/1 ML would not be too appealing to me.
Race Summary Purim King was a neck short with similar a couple starts back, and at anything approaching the 6/1 ML price, he'd be interesting enough with the capable Venn likely to be an underlay.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Rosecroft - Race #2
Picks Notes
#9 B A ROCKET Good fit with these, knows how to win, post 9 the drawback.
#2 DR NIPNTUCK Bid first-over alongside the favorites but faded.
#7 ADMIRAL Yet to recapture 2020 form, takes needed class drop.
Race Summary B A Rocket, no factor in 1:51.4 last week, paced evenly but posted an improved speed figure off the claim two starts back. Early position will be vital as he seeks his 17th win and nears $100,000 in earnings.

Northfield Park - Race #5
Picks Notes
#8 AMORA BEACH Free too late, finished third on short rest, gets Wrenn.
#5 DENSLOW HANOVER Earned top speed figure when second at this level three starts ago.
#1 ARCHETTO HANOVER Can make good use of his speed in repeat attempt.
Race Summary Amora Beach took late money on two day's rest, was trapped in third for 3/4s of a mile and finished a willing third. Play a 1-5-8 exacta box.

Northfield Park - Race #11
Picks Notes
#1 E L WILD SPIRIT Speed from rail, back on Lasix, price attached.
#2 MAGIC SHARK Drops, moves outside in, last win was with Merriman.
#3 RHP Solid numbers but yet to finish in the money in six starts this year.
Race Summary E L Wild Spirit gave way chasing the 5-2 winner last out, but he could be a forward factor from the rail at a big price for his new connections. Play a 1-2- exacta box.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Gulfstream Park - Race #7
Picks Notes
#4 Sunshine City Came up a half-length shy on the turf last time but her only dirt try effort produced a good third against tougher company at Churchill. Adds blinkers and could be in the mix earlier.
#3 Include the Beast Was an easy winner in his first two and then tasted defeat last time when he lacked a losing move; drops in class and will be a strong player.
#7 Battle Cry Was too late in his bid last time out and can be closer to the early action going this distance; capable of reaching the gimmicks.
Race Summary Sunshine City had a decent dirt effort last year and has what it takes late in the game.

Gulfstream Park - Race #8
Picks Notes
#8 High Noon Rider Claiming Crown winner three races back has been in much stronger races than this and comes off a closing third in a fast starter allowance; old-time keeps running well and should be the one to watch late.
#6 Tizzarunner Was a consistent closer in good races at Churchill and was a winner the last time he ran over this course; once race a mile in 1:32 1-5 here.
#3 Pioneer Man Tried stakes races last year and came up with a couple of wins at Woodbine; can be a contender in his first since October.
Race Summary High Noon Rider has had some of his best efforts over this course and can get a good pace setup.

Gulfstream Park - Race #10
Picks Notes
#1 Fulmini Carlos David claimed him the first time he was eligible and turns back to five furlongs; can make a solid run for his new barn.
#8 Thinkaboutit Ran on for second at this level last time out and ran well in three of four starts; chance for a major slice.
#7 Nitro Time Has excellent early speed and goes for his fourth straight win; could get some company out front today.
Race Summary Fulmini can track a fast pace and has the late kick to be effective in this very good sprint.

Play on: Maple Leafs -140 at linepros

Wednesday NHL Free play. My selection is on Toronto over Calgary at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday.
The Leafs have become accustomed to rebounding off a loss in this unique 2021 NHL season. They check in 4-1 off a loss this season and should bounce back here as well. Note that Toronto owns a staggering 11-2 record when coming off a loss where it scored one goal or less over the last two seasons, outscoring the opposition by an average margin of 1.1 goals. For their part, the Flames are 5-12 on the moneyline when coming off a win by three goals or more, as is the case here, over the last three seasons. The Flames have a bit of adversity to deal with as standout goaltender Jakob Markstrom is dealing with an upper body injury and listed as day-to-day. Take Toronto (8*).

Play on: Celtics -1½ -115 at BetCris

1* NBA - Celtics/Hawks *FREE PICK* on Celtics -1.5
Today's free pick is on the Boston Celtics -1.5 on the road against the Atlanta Hawks. Great price with Boston in this one. Celtics have lost their last 2 and are just 7-13 in their last 20, but we know the talent is there and so many of those losses could have gone the other way. That includes each of their last two. They blew a huge lead in a 115-120 loss at New Orleans on Sunday and then fell 107-110 at Dallas last night. Key here is the Hawks have been playing just as bad of late and I just don't trust this team at all. Atlanta is just decimated with injuries right now. They were already without De'Andre Hunter, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kris Dunn, now John Collins and Cam Reddish are questionable for this one. Bet the Celtics -1.5!
