Frank Carulli: Stronach 5 Analysis: Friday, November 12, 2021

November 11, 2021 | By Frank Carulli
If you're not betting on the Stronach 5, you don't know what you're missing. Since Friday, Oct. 8, the average payout for the $1 wager is $7,618 -- not counting the $98,311 carry-over payout Oct. 22. What's more, the highest odds on any winner during that span was 12-1. Last week's $8,826 payout featured four winners at 5-2 odds or less. Here's an early look at this Friday's races, with an update to follow after scratches.

LEG A (Laurel Park, 7th race, 3:40 EST): C TWO improved off a 3-month rest two starts ago, then raced close-up for a half-mile in a faster-paced long sprint. MOON BIZ got caught 6-wide on the backstretch in a turf sprint, ranged up 3- and 4-wide on the turn, then flattened out in mid-stretch. He takes a magnified class drop in a field that has no seconds in 51 starts combined. SCARLET'S SONG, well-bet in three starts to begin her 5-year-old season, returns from a nine-month layoff.

LEG B (Gulfstream Park, 8th race, 3:53 EST): PETER D looms a strong favorite in this 2-year-old optional claimer. He weaved through stretch traffic two back against winner Last Leaf (3-6, $113k), then rallied from up close to a slow pace to win a Florida-bred stakes race in his first start on the Tapeta surface. He could be a solo play, but the steadily improving EYE OF THE TEMPLE is worth using as a backup. He set a pressured pace to the sixteenth pole and just missed at 7F, then won in a photo-finish at this distance in his Tapeta debut.

LEG C (Laurel Park, 8th race, 4:10 EST): MIDDLE ISLAND was fractious in the paddock but made a good middle move after a slow start into contention, before flattening out. ESTATE launched a rally from a ground-saving position in the same race, but raced erratically in the stretch and finished third in her debut.

LEG D (Golden Gate, 2nd race, 4:18 EST): The main contenders in this bottom-level maiden claimer drop out of the same $12,500 race won by pace-controlling favorite Bandeena, who set a pressured pace and tired for $20,000 in her previous start out of town. That being said, use QUICK TIME, who stalked the pace from mid-pack and tired late and STEIN'S GIRL, who raced evenly but rallied strongly for second in her previous two starts at this level.

LEG E (Gulfstream Park, 9th race, 4:23 EST): We're going seven deep in the final leg of the Stronach 5. NEVER SAY KNOW is a deserving favorite but has raced exclusively on the turf. SOLAR TAP rallied after he was bumped and shuffled back at Delaware Park but couldn't reach the 28-1, first-out winner; stablemate ASTRAL WEEKS took some money but was no factor at Belmont for a high-percentage barn with class droppers. CALIFORNIA FROLIC just missed as the favorite in a one-mile $50,000 claimer in his second start for Joseph. OCTOBER TIME was no match for Peter D (see Leg B above) in stakes company. LUIGI'S SPIRIT is a well-bred firster for a trainer-jockey duo that is 3-7 at the current meet.

Stronach 5 Ticket

Leg A: 1, 5, 7
Leg B: 1, 7
Leg C: 7, 10
Leg D: 1, 3
Leg E: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10

Cost for a $1 ticket: $168

Best Horse Racing Bets for Friday, November 12, 2021
By J.W. Paine in Horse Racing

I found a lot to like about my picks from Del Mar Racing, Gulfstream Park, and Remington Park for Friday, including a few surprise picks in the three stakes races I assessed at Remington Park.

Oh, and there’s that 10/1 sleeper I found at Del Mar.

Before you head on down to see what I’m all giddy about, be sure to take a look at the full race-cards for all three tracks at our top best online racebooks.

Good luck!
My Friday Picks for Del Mar Racing

We’re on the main track for race two, a one-mile claiming race for three-year-olds and upward.

Aside from some good speed figures that didn’t get him to the wire for payday, I’m not sure why the morning-line likes Kershaw so much. I’m betting on a horse that has won a race or two in the past twelve months—the 4/1 underdog, Signofthecross, with Diego A. Herrera in the irons.

This four-year-old gelding finished in the money seven of his eleven career starts, winning four, which gives him the best stats in this short field of five. And not that he appears to need it, but he’s also got the advantage of Herrera’s apprentice weight allowance.

Leonard Powell, who’s having the winningest year of his nearly two decades in the business, trains Signofthecross for owners Emily H. Burns, Christina Gindt, and Mary Ledding.

Let’s move to the turf course for race seven, a five-furlong allowance optional claiming race for California-bred or sired fillies and mares three years old and upward.
I agree with the morning-line in this race, so I’m buying a win ticket on the 2/1 favorite, Hot Rageous, ridden by top jockey Flavien Prat.

This three-year-old filly moneyed six of her eight career starts, winning three. No other entry in this seven-horse field shows any indication of giving Hot Rageous serious competition.

Breeders’ Cup veteran Peter Miller trains Hot Rageous for owners Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Gary Barber, and Wachtel Stable.

We’re back on the main track for race eight, a one mile claiming race for fillies and mares three years old and upward that have never won two races.

I’m calling this race for the 10/1 sleeper, Big Andy, with Diego A. Herrera aboard.

This three-year-old filly finished in the money four of her ten career starts, winning one. Notably, before she graduated from the maiden class last May she finished second in the 2020 California Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Stakes (Black Type) and third in the 2020 Generous Portion Stakes (Black Type).

Simon Callaghan—who took Firing Line to a second-place finish in the 2015 Kentucky Derby—trains Big Andy for Biggleague Racing, LLC.
Friday Picks for Gulfstream Park

Let’s start on the all-weather track for race three, a one mile and 70 yards claiming run for fillies and mares three years old and upward.

I agree with the morning-line here—the horse most likely to succeed in this eight-horse race is the 5/2 favorite, Afficionado, piloted by Leonel Reyes.

This four-year-old French import moneyed 15 of her 24 career starts, winning four, which gives her the best stats in this field.

Fifteen-year racing veteran Juan Carlos Avila trains Afficionado for Omakase Racing Stable, LLC. Avila has put Reyes in the irons for Afficionado’s last four races.

We’re on the main track for race seven, a six-furlong claiming run for fillies and mares three years old and upward. My money’s on the second-favored (at 5/2) Dahlonega, ridden by top jockey Emisael Jaramillo.
This six-year-old mare finished in the money 17 of her 31 career starts, winning ten, which is good, but it’s her performance in 2021 that has me convinced; seven money finishes in nine starts, four of those wins. She’s the clear star of this eight-horse field.

Gilberto Zerpa trains Dahlonega for Soldi Stable LLC.

We move back to the all-weather track for race eight, a one mile and 70 yards run for two-year-olds.

This is a no-brainer pick, so I’m betting all two of my dollars on the 9/5 morning-line favorite, Peter D, piloted by Leonel Reyes.

This gelding has three career starts: He broke his maiden at Delaware Park in August, finished fifth in the Hollywood Beach Stakes (Black Type) at Gulfstream Park in September, and last month, he won the Journeyman Stud Juvenile Stakes (Black Type), also at Gulfstream. He’ll do.

Peter D is trained by owner Andry G. Blanco, who put Reyes in the irons for both of Peter D’s stakes runs.
Friday’s Picks for Remington Park

We’re on the main track for race six—the Silver Goblin Stakes, a $70,000 purse, 6-1/2-furlong race for Oklahoma-bred three-year-olds and upward.

I like the 3/1 underdog in this race, Quality Rocket, ridden by top jockey Ramon A. Vazquez.

This seven-year-old gelding finished in the money for 21 of his 36 career starts, winning eleven, which is impressive in this field, but even better, his record for 2021 is the best of this six-horse field.

Six money finishes in eight starts, four of them wins, including the Route 66 Stakes at Fair Meadows Racetrack in July and the Red Earth Stakes (Black Type) at Remington Park in September.

Thirty-year racing veteran Boyd Caster trains Quality Rocket for owner Jeremy D. Ball.

Race seven is the Slide Show Stakes, a $75,000 purse, one-mile race on the main track for Oklahoma-bred two-year-old fillies. I like the 8/5 morning-line favorite: Morning Twilight, with veteran jockey Stewart Elliott aboard.
This filly won both of her career starts, breaking her maiden in early October, then winning the Oklahoma Classics Lassie Stakes (Black Type) a week later. She’s the obvious pick from this seven-horse field.

Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen trains Morning Twilight for owners West Point Thoroughbreds, Edwin S. Barker, and Titletown Racing Stables.

Race eight is the Don C. McNeill Stakes, a $75,000 purse, one-mile main track race for Oklahoma-bred two-year-olds. I’m buying a win ticket on the second-favored Cuatro Madres, ridden by top jockey David Cabrera.

This gelding moneyed both of his career starts, winning his initial maiden attempt, then finishing second in the Oklahoma Classics Juvenile Stakes (Black Type) in October.

And yes, I know he was beaten in that stakes race by this race’s 5/2 favorite, Rowdy Rascal, who stalked in the back field for most of the Classic Juvenile before thundering forward in the last furlong to win by a head.

I just prefer to bet on horses with statistical superiority, and that’s Cuatro Madres.

Austin Gustafson—who’s having a very good year at the track, by the way—trains Cuatro Madres for Michael J. Mazoch and Linda Mazoch.

Today’s Racing Tips – November 12th

There are 5 race-meetings in Britain and Ireland on Friday, with jumps fans excited by the prospect of the November meeting at Cheltenham. This three day fixture traditionally offers the first chance to see the highly regarded young horses stake an early marker for the Festival in March, with all of the top stables represented. With the ground only just on the easy side of good (after watering early in the week), field sizes are smaller than usual, but the exciting My Drogo is one to watch out for in the novice chase at 2.20pm.

Gordon Elliott has his team in blistering form at the moment, with 20 winners in the last fortnight at a 27pc strike rate, and his progressive novice is fancied to make a winning raid over to Cheltenham on Friday. He has already proven himself over this 2m5f trip, and there will be plenty more improvement in the tank after just four runs over hurdles.

Sam Thomas has a lovely team of young horses in his stable this winter, and he has found a good opportunity here for his unexposed 6-y-o. He made a very impressive start for his new yard when making all of the running at Market Rasen 27 days ago, and will be very hard to peg back round here if settling into a smooth rhythm from the front under Charlie Deutsch.

Most Likely Winner: (Race 1: Pammy’s Ready #6, 3/1):

The 2 trainers across North American racing that do best when it comes to turf sprints are Wesley Ward (East) and Peter Miller (West). This filly by More Than Ready comes to Miller’s Barn from Ward’s, and off the class drop, she should be primed for a score. She missed being “in the money” in one of those high octane MSW races at Kentucky Downs. With Umberto Rispoli in the irons, this new squad should be able to make some noise burning on the turf.

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Win, #6

Off-the-Pace Play of the Day: (Race 5: Pretty Rena #6, 6/1):

Going with rider Rispoli again, we are backing another offspring of More Than Ready. This filly is a 2-yr-old who ended up 3rd on debut at Santa Anita in a 5F sprint back on 2 October. When Lapenta’s stock gets together with Mike McCarthy, that is a mix I want to be a part of when it comes to wagering. Sometimes when young runners come back to the track for a second time, they are more cognizant of what is actually going on—racing. Taking on this crowd will not be easy, but it could be an opportunity to support a price. Let’s go …

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Bankroll, Graduated Wager WPS #6 ($10-W, $15-P, $75-S)

Spotlight Race of the Day: (Race 7: Turf, 5F, AOC20k, F&M 3+):

If you are game to take on a favorite, then here is your opportunity. Trainer Peter Miller has Hot Rageous #6 coming down from Golden Gate Fields. The filly by Idiot Proof just won by a nose against a rival that has already come back and won. That bodes well, as this one comes down to Del Mar with much promise. Flavien Prat, the turf master of SoCal gets the call. Taking on one that is owned by Eclipse Thoroughbreds means you are playing with fire … but I will tempt fate. Sorry Mr. Wellman …

My top selection in a spot like this one is Brian Koriner’s Shylock Eddie #3. The 6-yr-old mare by Square Eddie is perfectly bred for this kind of contest, and coming back to Del Mar, a track that she knows well, is a smart move. Jockey Rispoli, as we have mentioned above, has the ability to ride with the best of them on the grass, so if you could get 4/1, then that is a heck of a price. With some recent works, that this icing on the cake … she is ready to make a move.

One other runner that I want to seriously consider is Jeff Bonde’s Mamba Queen #7. Here is another Square Eddie, and she is a 3-yr-old with all kinds of talent. Last out at Golden Gate, she led all the way … enroute to a nice victory. Though Abel Cedillo does not have the right turf qualifications when it comes to matching wits with Prat, Hernandez, and Rispoli, he just needs to catch the early break. If his mount can do that, then it will give him a shot at a score.

Let’s use all 3 of these turf sprinters … what a shot!

Wagering Recommendation: $2 Trifecta Box, 3/6/7

Al Cimaglia: Hoosier Park Late Pick 4 Analysis

November 12, 2021 | By Al Cimaglia
Tonight, the feature at Hoosier Park rolls in Race 11, an Open Pace with a $22,000 purse. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 10, and that sequence will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10

1-Big Chief Arrow (12-1)-Price shot has struggled versus this kind at HoP but comes off 3 good efforts and draws inside. Krueger came keep this 3-year-old in the hunt and be within reach of the leader down the lane.
5-Rockin Sandsave (8-1)-Here is another who has raced better in the last 2 starts and now returns from Dayton. Gets a positive driver change in Casey Leonard who steers for his brother Ross, and should be a solid price.
8-JK Rockin Roll (20-1)-Price shot tries Lasix for the 2nd time and Widger makes his 2nd straight appearance between the pipes. Paced the 2nd half in 56.2 and could be sitting on a big try at long odds.
9-Just Wanna Roll (2-1)-Will probably be a single on many tickets and makes the 1st start for the Essig barn. Looks the part of a morning line chalk so will respect but will lean to others who may get a smoother journey.

Race 11

6-He'zzz A Wise Sky (4-1)-Has hit the board in 11 of 15 at HoP and has finished 2nd in the last 2 starts after doing the heavy lifting. This is an honest 4-year-old who should be in the hunt for top honors again.
7-Tellmeaboutit (5/2)-Was used early and then stayed inside in last and now makes the 2nd start off of a judges scratch. This Alvin Miller trainee has big gate speed and Oosting could have the pedal down from the word "go".
9-Sonny Weaver N (7/2)-Sizzled the 2nd half in 52.4 to take a picture versus this kind last week. If they go to the half in .54 again, the same could happen. The pace should be lively and will likely need hot fractions to make another trip to the winner's circle.

Race 12

3-Townline Shady Boy (8/5)-Comes off a win at OakGr in Kentucky and hasn't been in this cheap at HoP this season. There isn't much form in the entire field, and this looks like the winner with a decent trip.

Race 13

1-Ourrhythmnblues N (9/2)-Has been facing straight Open company and fits better here. Macomber should be within striking range turning for the wire and could be overlooked at the windows.
4-Tivo Hanover (3-1)-Pet Rock 6-year-old beat Open company here in October and fits well with this crew. Gets a positive driver change with De Long taking the lines and he was hot on Thursday. Draws well to get a stalking trip and could close fastest of all.

0.50 Late Pick 4

Total Bet=$12

Grade Descriptions:
Grade A=Highest degree of confidence
Grade B=Solid Play.
Grade C=Least preferred or pass
Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 1: Post: 12:30 PT Grade: B
Use: 3-Unbridled Mary; 5-Phenom

Forecast: Phenom performed well in her debut under similar conditions at Santa Anita last month, finishing a willing third in a five-furlong turf sprint for juvenile fillies while easily outrunning her 19-1 odds. The P. D’Amato barn has excellent stats with second time starters (21% with a powerful ROI), so with that race under her belt combined with the addition of blinkers the daughter of Midnight Storm can be expected to run at least as well and probably better today. She’s listed as the 5/2 morning line favorite and that looks about right. Unbridled Mary is a first timer bred for intense early speed (Maclean’s Music) and has done some excellent work in the a.m. trainer J. Sadler, whose stats with debut runners is solid (18% with a strong flat-bet profit). It would not be surprising if she’s the quickest of the quick, and at 4-1 on the morning line looks enticing. Both should be included in rolling exotic play with a slight preference on top to the longer priced ‘Mary.

Notable Workouts:

Unbridled Mary (November 7, Santa Anita, 4f, :47.4hg). Grade: B
A bit slow to get in motion leaving gate but then displayed good speed without need of pressure to prove much best over Abadon (4f, :49.2hg) for J. Sadler, splits of :24 flat, :35.2 and :47.4 on our watches, nice drill by juvenile daughter of Maclean’s Music. Had a solid series of workouts at Los Alamitos before joining the main string and looks to have enough ability to be a live first time out.

RACE 2: Post: 1:00 PT Grade: B-
Use: 4-Signofthecross; 5-Kershaw

Forecast: This $50,000 middle distance maiden track claimer attracted just five entrants, so we don’t really have much to work with. Signofthecross was awful in his last two starts but after a brief freshening and a return to a main track we know he likes the L. Powell-trained gelding should be capable of snapping back to good form. The son of Cross Traffic projects to settle into a good stalking position and then have his chance to wear down the leaders from the quarter pole home. Kershaw, away since May but with an excellent record over the Del Mar dirt oval, shows a healthy series of workouts at San Luis Rey Downs to have him plenty fit for trainer P. Miller, whose stats with layoff runners always are better than average. Off his best day, the veteran gelding is more than good enough to handle this assignment. Both should be included in rolling exotic play; we’ll have a few extra tickets keying Kershaw on top.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 3: Post: 1:33 PT Grade: B-
Use: 1-Fore Flag; Bally’s Charm

Forecast: Four of the seven starters in this one-mile state-bred turf event for juveniles exit the same race, with Fore Flag, the runner-up in that Oct. 15 event at Santa Anita, likely to be the favorite again despite having failed as the public choice in his last two starts. Drawn perfectly along the rail and assured a ground-saving trip, the M. McCarthy-trained colt isn’t one to trust but seems the logical favorite once again almost by default. His numbers are well below par but are gradually rising, so with another forward move he’ll have every chance to earn his diploma. Bally’s Charm, fourth beaten less than four lengths in his debut behind Fore Flag, arguably has more room to improve and therefore is the one to fear most. The J. Mullins-trained gelding hit the front at the furlong pole before weakening; he’ll be fitter and stronger today and may be a more attractive gamble at 5/2 on the morning line. We’ll try to get by using just these two in rolling exotic play with Bally’s Charm, based on price, the preferred top pick.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 4: Post: 2:03 PT Grade: B
Use: 1-Today’s Flavor; 2-Essential Wager

Forecast: This is a better than par maiden sprint for older horses, with the main contention drawn inside (not always the place to be sprinting on this track). Essential Wager was unlucky in his recent debut at Santa Anita, winding up an admirable second with a strong speed figure after stumbling at the start, rushing up inside to make the pace and then understandably weakening late. The B. Baffert barn hits with a powerful 26% with second time starters, so with two very sharp drills since raced the son of Honor Code looks ready to graduate. Today’s Flavor was extremely well-meant in his debut at Santa Anita in April when finishing second to the talented Laurel River, but then went to the sidelines. The D. O’Neill-trained colt returns with a series of exceptional workouts, including a bullet :58 3/5 five-furlong drill over the local main track Oct. 30. If he can avoid trouble from the rail, the son of Laoban should give our top pick plenty of competition. We’ll have a few extra tickets keying Essential Wager but include both in rolling exotic play.

Notable Workouts:

Today’s Flavor (October 24, Santa Anita, 5f, 1:01h TT). Grade: B
Solo training track drill for D. O’Neill, well in hand throughout, final three furlongs in :11.4 and :36.2, plenty left and galloping out strongly past the wire. Coming back extremely well, always trained like a very good prospect.
View Workout Video

Essential Wager (November 1, Santa Anita, 4f, :46.3h). Grade: A
In blinkers, terrific drill for Honor Code colt in company and much best over Velvet Slippers (4f, :46.4h) while working from the three furlong pole out to the seven-furlong pole, never asked at any stage, splits of :11.1, :35 flat (to the wire) and then full of run in the final stages, up in :46.3. Was an unlucky runner-up in his debut; should produce a significant forward move with that race before him.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 5: Post: 2:33 PT Grade: B
Use: 3-Comedic; 4-Granola Girl; 7-Shoppingforpharoah

Forecast: The first leg of the late Pick-4 is a stronger-than-par maiden turf sprint for two-year-old fillies with three legitimate contenders. Shoppingforpharoah displayed excellent speed in her first career outing three weeks ago before being worn down late and finishing second in a six-furlong affair over the Santa Anita turf course. She shortens up a furlong today and should be on the lead again, so we’re expecting the J. Wong-trained filly to move forward and be tough to run down. Comedic was supposed to win her debut (she went off at 6/5) under similar conditions last month at Santa Anita but was simply second best after leading the way into the lane. She figures to improve based on trainer S. Callaghan’s stats with second time starters, which is quite strong (25%). A bullet five-furlong training track drill since raced (1:00 1/5, fastest of 12) catches the eye, so we’ll give the daughter of Practical Joke a reasonable chance to make amends. The improving Granola Girl looks to be the most dangerous of the closing types, and with the switch to F. Prat the Jack Milton filly is a “must use” as well.

Notable Workouts:
Comedic (November 5, Santa Anita, 4f, :48.3h TT). Grade: B
Breezing every step of way, final three furlongs in :12.1 and :35.3, very sharp through the lane while displaying easy action with plenty of power. Hard to believe she got beat in her debut based on this drill. Have to think she’ll step forward vs. maiden juvenile fillies next time.

RACE 6: Post: 3:03 PT Grade: B-
Single: 11-Chollima

Forecast: The sixth race is a bottom-rung $8,000 claiming sprint for older fillies and mares. Big ticket players may decide to go fishing and spread deeply but we’ll try to save money, single Chollima, and simply hope to be right. Claimed in five of her last six starts and back in the barn of trainer S. Knapp, who won with her at Del Mar during the summer meeting, the daughter of Paddy O’Prado has the route-to-sprint angle that we like while being reunited with “win rider” A. Cedillo. Though drawn a bit farther out in the 11-hole at this five and one-half furlong distance, she should have enough tactical speed to secure a reasonable second flight, stalking position and then have dead aim from the head of the lane to the wire. First or second in nine of 13 career starts and a two-time winner over the local main track, she’s well-spotted to return to winning form at a reasonable 5/2 on the morning line.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 7: Post: 3:33 PT Grade: B
Use: 1-Lava Lane; 6-Hot Rageous

Forecast: Hot Rageous shows up for a $20,000 tag (her first start in a claimer) after winning a pair of decent allowance sprints over the all-weather surface at Golden Gate Fields in late summer. This is an optional state-bred affair offering a lucrative $72,000 purse (she’s only eligible because she was entered to be claimed), so we suspect trainer P. Miller probably expects to lose her but won’t mind if she can take home the winner’s 60% share of the pot. At 2-1 on the morning line and with F. Prat taking the call, the sophomore daughter of Idiot Proof has speed figures that make her the one to beat. Lava Lane, a sharp runner-up over this course and distance last time out, projects to be in the second flight while saving ground from her rail post position. She’s lightly raced and improving and is guaranteed a good trip, so with another forward move the P. D’Amato-trained daughter of Unusual Heat seems sure to make a serious run for it.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 8: Post: 4:03 PT Grade: B-
Use: 5-La Pulcinela; 7-Zahra

Forecast: We’ll double the finale, a restricted (nw-2) $16,000 claiming main track miler for older fillies and mares. La Pulcinela drops to her lowest level ever after a series of strong, consistent recent outings vs. slightly tougher foes. The J. Wong-trained daughter of Flatter earned a career top number when a distant second in an optional claiming/starter’s allowance affair last month at Santa Anita, and while the class drop might appear a tad suspicious, we’re assuming the barn is simply trying to win a race. Zahra adds blinkers for the first time after finishing a respectable runner-up at this level last month. She’s not as fast on numbers as our top pick and is just 1-for-30 in her career but she can be used as insurance in a saver role in case the favorite, for whatever reason, fails to fire.

Notable Workouts:

Zahra (November 4, Santa Anita, 5f, 1:01.1h). Grade: B-
In blinkers, asked a bit late and did okay for a cheap type in solo five-furlong main track drill, splits of :23.3, :35.3 and 1:01.1 while appearing to hold her form. Not keen on winning (1-for-30) but usually gets at least a piece of it.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Charles Town - Race #6

#9 Quad Eights	He is not going to offer any kind of price here, but he should be too good for these if he can transfer his recent form over the local footing. He has been landing underneath shares with better in recent starts and should get home here.
#10 Malibu Circle	He has run a couple of decent races since rising to face winners after taking a dozen tries to graduate. He's probably running along a little bit too late here.
#7 Run Rabbit	He's another pretty reliable finishing type, and he makes enough sense on backup tickets if you think the top choice is going to be coming back late.
Race Summary	Quad Eights has to answer a couple of questions here, but he's not meeting much while bringing pretty imposing form for the local level. The barn does good work here, so I'm hoping he'll transfer form.

Charles Town - Race #7

#6 Denali d'Oro	She graduated at second asking as the chalk, and she should be able to get a good go of things near the top while rising to try winners for the first time. Would take her as something like the second choice tonight.
#4 My Pretty Eyes	She looks like the one to beat with a couple of honest efforts at this level to her credit prior to the stakes try last time out. She's better back with these and looms tough.
#3 Snowy Juba Cat	She's another who will step up to try winners here, but she landed that debut win in style. Still, she won on the front end that night, so she's no sure thing to handle some more pressure early here from a tougher crew.
Race Summary	Denali d'Oro ran okay from a bit off the pace in the debut try, so she might be able to land the right kind of trip while just tracking the splits here. She still has some upside with just the two starts to her name.

Charles Town - Race #8

#6 Bustin Hearts	She has been showing a bit of life since getting back over the local surface, and she seems as capable as anyone in here if she's able to bring a repeat of that last one.
#8 Earned the Shot	She will probably take some cash on the drop, but it's worth noting she was no serious threat in a couple tries at this type of level earlier in the summer. Capable player.
#1 Warfront Peace Rvf	Her form is pretty hit or miss, but she's likely to offer a decent price with these, and one of her better recent races might be good enough to land a piece with these.
Race Summary	Bustin Hearts is a good fit here, and I'd be happy to jump in at anything like the 5/1 ML offering in the finale. I'll try to get him in the picture with Earned the Shot.

**Can'tPickAWinner** · 11-12-2021, 05:15 AM

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Harrah's Philadelphia - Race #1

#7 SIX DEGREES	Exits fast races, gets right set-up at right price.
#4 IDEAL SUSPECT	Regained winning stride against lesser at Freehold, third start of cycle.
#5 WHAT ABOUT DAVID	Opened commanding leads in back-to-back victories.
Race Summary	Six Degrees gets needed relief from facing mostly stakes rivals and should get plenty of pace to rally into. His numbers translate well in this spot, especially the 7-1 the morning line. Bet on him to win and place.

The Meadows - Race #5

#3 JD'S NOAH	Looked like winner in mid-stretch but lost action, gets class relief.
#7 LATER DUDES	Piling up the seconds en route to second $50k season.
#4 INDICTABLE HANOVER	Plays to a steady beat, use underneath in gimmicks.
Race Summary	JD's Noah sat a good trip off cover, had dead aim on the first-over winner in mid-stretch but hung late. He was Merriman's choice on a triple call and can sustain a winning bid on the class drop. Play 3-4 and 3-7 exactas.

Woodbine-Mohawk Park - Race #5

#3 TRAFALGAR	Sustained rally for first win of the year, taken to repeat.
#2 REALIZATION	Ran second to the favorite at this level two starts ago.
#7 TOWN DELINQUENT	Discount latest from post 10, good middle move in prior race.
Race Summary	Trafalgar sustained a first-over rally to get past the pace-setting favorite, then held the closers to prevail. She covered the final quarter mile in :27.4, earning a playback on the class rise. Bet on her to win and place.

**Can'tPickAWinner** · 11-12-2021, 05:16 AM

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Del Mar - Race #2

#2 Tiger Dad	Drops to his lowest level in a while and can wake up after being unplaced in the California Flag Stakes; has the speed to be involved at once and Victor Espinoza can keep him where he needs to be.
#5 Kershaw	Was well back in his latest, which came in May; he's won three of six over this strip and has the running style that is particularly dangerous here.
#4 Signofthecross	Was a well-beaten fourth last out and was a claiming winner in August 2020; can be in the mix earlier than usual.
Race Summary	Tiger Dad has a class edge and can take it to them early; at this level he should be able to ward of challengers.

Del Mar - Race #7

#4 Shylock Eddie	Does her best running late, and the speedsters in this one will set the table for her rally.
#6 Hot Rageous	Was up in time at Golden Gate in her last two and can be a strong player vs. older rivals.
#1 Lava Lane	Ran on well and just missed here in her latest; on the board in four of five career starts.
Race Summary	Shylock Eddie comes storming down the stretch and can work her way through this short and quick field; one to hold off.

Del Mar - Race #8

#7 Zahra	Should be able to get to the lead, and that's particularly dangerous in mile dirt races; was a solid third here three races back and wins if she runs back to that one.
#8 Big Moon	Engaged earlier than usual last out and was a going-away winner vs. maiden-claimers.
#5 La Pulcinela	Can be close than usual and should be tough as she drops out of tougher races.
Race Summary	Zahra can be in the mix from the outset and has enough energy for a big finish.
