#4 INTERFERENCE (ML=3/1)
INTERFERENCE - Trainer Spiess gave this gelding a good stiff morning drill. Last one was 2nd fastest of the day. Has run good races in the first or second starts back off of a vacation. Looking at today's class rating, this racer is meeting an easier field than in the last race at Mahoning Valley Race Cour.
Vulnerable Contenders: #5 REJUVENATE (ML=2/1), #7 PURE MOMENT (ML=7/2), #8 ANTEROS (ML=9/2),
REJUVENATE - You think this animal is going to win just because he's always close. Just doesn't win frequently. PURE MOMENT - I cannot play this habitual non-winner. Gets the task executed once in a while. This horse showed little last time finishing fifth. Can't expect any improvement in today's race. Finished fifth in his most recent race with a substandard speed figure. When I look at today's class rating, it would take an improved performance to triumph after that in this field. ANTEROS - Can't play this less than sharp equine in today's sprint of 5 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance event lately. More than enough tries at Mountaineer Park with no trips to the victory stand. Common fig in the last race at Mountaineer Park at 5 1/2 furlongs. Don't think this questionable contender will improve too much in today's race.
GUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - INTERFERENCE - Finished a disappointing tenth at Mahoning Valley Race Cour on December 29th. But that was on the mud. Expect much better in today's event.| STRAIGHT WAGERS: | Putting our cash on #4 INTERFERENCE to win. Have to have odds of at least 1/1 or better though |
| EXACTA WAGERS: | None |
TRIFECTA WAGERS: |
None |
| SUPERFECTA WAGERS: | Pass |
