Frank Carulli: Stronach 5 Analysis: Friday, Jan. 7, 2021

January 6, 2022 | By Frank Carulli

STRONACH 5 ANALYSIS
January 7, 2022

A 29-1 winner in the first leg of last week's Stronach 5 triggered a $43,647 payout for a winning $1 ticket. The first 2022 installment of the popular cross-country wager is set for Friday, Jan 7, covering five races from four tracks, all in a one-hour window. Here's an early look at the action, with an update to follow after scraches Friday morning:

LEG A: (Laurel Park, race 9, 4:28 EST) -- Going six-deep in a wide open maiden claimer. Longshot TIPSY TOURIST is worth using after she made a middle move to lead at the stretch call before finishing third at 6F two back. ICY HARBOR, part of a formidable entry if runningmate CANDY CORNER draws into the race, disappeared on a muddy track in her last start after a solid route try in the race prior. BELLSWILLBERINGING raced evenly in the 2-path after a slightly troubled start against better, but she's no bargain from post 13. PEARLYVILLE sheds weight after three in-the-money finishes in a row. EL BOCHINCHE controlled a soft pace and held second in a shorter sprint.

LEG B: (Santa Anita, race 3, 4:35 EST) -- KEYSTONE FIELD, today's solo play in the Stronach 5, took command with a 3-wide bid on the final turn but tired in the final sixteenth to finish out of the money in a longer turf marathon. What's more, he was caught by multiple graded stakes-winning turfer Red King and by Midnight Tea Time (39/5-9-11 $612k), who overcame trouble to win an allowance next out.

LEG C: (Gulfstream Park, race 9, 4:42 EST) -- Hoping a pair of promising 4-year-olds are ready to go off long layoffs. MUTASAABEQ, last seen winning a one-mile stakes race at Gulfstream a year ago, is working forwardly for his 4yo debut and gets Lasix for the first time. COLLABORATE shows a series of bullet workouts for his first start in five months. He romped twice at one-mile and was stakes-placed at today's distance at Gulfstream.

LEG D: (Golden Gate, race 3, 4:50 EST) -- FOSTER BOI won his last three starts at Golden Gate by a combined 7-1/4 lengths, now goes an extra half-furlong. KNOCKOUT BERT is another horse for the course, with two wins and a near miss in his last three 6F tries. HANDSOME GARY is 0-11 on the synthetic track but warrants a second look with three seconds in his last four sprints. MOHAWK KING raced close-up a long way before the deep closers arrived in a turf allowance. He adds blinkers but will be an underlay after the race winner, Freeport Joe, came back to win a Grade III grass route.

LEG E: (Gulfstream Park, race 10, 5:14 EST) -- Going to try to beat morning-line favorite Eagle Chief, who bid 4-wide into a contested duel and was out-kicked in the stretch to fall to 0-10 on the turf. GOLDEN INDY was pressured from the outset and battled bravely until the deep closers passed by in deep stretch in a heavily-bet debut. TRUPIA raced wide as the beaten favorite in a MSW route on the Parx main track that produced a winner. He should like the change of surface because his dam, Social Queen, was a multiple Grade III winner on the grass.

Suggested $1 Ticket
Leg A: 1, 2, 5, 6, 13
Leg B: 9
Leg C: 5, 6
Leg D: 3, 5, 6, 7
Leg E: 2, 4
COST: $80

Best Horse Racing Bets for Friday, January 7, 2022
By J.W. Paine in Horse Racing

Golden Gate Fields, Gulfstream Park, and Laurel Park gave me a mix of undeniable morning-line favorites along with a surprising number of underdog moneymakers (including a few sleepers) for my Friday horseracing tout-o-rama.

Go ahead and check my math with a quick visit to one of our best horseracing wagering sites.

Good luck!
My Friday Picks for Golden Gate Fields

We’ll begin with race three, a six-furlong claiming race on the all-weather track for four-year-old’s and upward that have never won two races (maiden, claiming and starter races for $16,000 or less not considered in eligibility).

I’m buying a win ticket on the second-favored (at 3/1) Foster Boi ridden by Ruben Fuentes.

This six-year-old gelding finished in the money six of his 19 career starts, winning five. Not great but looking at his record for the past twelve months puts the correctness of my pick in perspective: Three money finishes in six starts, all three wins—including his two most recent starts.

For just a bit more perspective, the morning-line favorite, Mohawk King, last won a race in September 2020.

Ranked among the top 100 trainers for wins in 2021, Reid France trains Foster Boi for Hat Trick Racing.

Race four is a one-mile claiming race for three-year-old fillies. I’m betting my two dollars on the 8/1 sleeper, Thisonesforbarry, with Santos Rivera in the irons.
This filly had a rather in auspicious start, breaking out of the maiden class only after four also-ran performances, but her graduation victory in November was followed with second-place finish in a claiming race in December. She’ll do.

Top-ranked for both wins and earnings, Steve M. Sherman trains Thisonesforbarry for owner-breeder Huston Racing Stables. Sherman has tapped Rivera to saddle Thisonesforbarry for her last three races.

Race eight is a 5-1/2 furlong claiming run on the all-weather track for fillies and mares four years old and upward. My money’s on the 5/2 morning-line favorite, Grinningeartoear, piloted by veteran jockey Pedro M. Terrero.

This six-year-old mare finished 11 of her 16 career starts in the money, winning seven—which gives her a significant statistical lead over the rest of this eight-horse field.

Twenty-five-year horseracing veteran Manuel Badilla trains Grinningeartoear for owner-breeder Martin W. Bach. Badilla has put Terrero in the irons for Grinningeartoear’s three most recent victories.
Friday’s Picks for Gulfstream Park

Let’s start on the all-weather track with race five, a one-mile and 70 yards allowance race for Florida-bred three-year-old’s. The morning-line’s odds say this may be one of the most tightly-contested races of the day, and I’m inclined to agree.

I’m still putting my two dollars on the 3/1 favorite, Birdman Richie, ridden by top jockey Irad Ortiz Jr.

This three-year-old gelding moneyed all five of his career starts, winning one, which gives him the edge in this seven-horse field.

Larry Rivelli trains Birdman Richie for owners Patricia’s Hope LLC and Richard Ravin.

Race eight is a one-mile allowance optional claiming race on the main track for fillies and mares four years old and upward. I like the 9/5 favorite, Join the Dots, piloted by Javier Castellano.
This four-year-old filly won her single career start, which gives her the slightest of edges over the second-favored Midnight Ballerina, who has a slightly better record but hasn’t won a race since breaking her maiden in September of 2020. In this nine-horse field, Join the Dots will do fine.

A Hall of Famer with Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes, and Breeders’ Cup wins on his scorecard, Claude R. McGaughey III trains Join the Dots for Courtlandt Farms (Donald and Donna Adam).

Race nine is a 6-1/2 furlong allowance optional claiming race for four-year-olds and upward. I’m betting on the second-favored (at 3/1) Bank On Shea, with top jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard.

While the morning-line favorite—Mutasaabeq—has an impressive graded stakes win on his record, that was over two years ago, and the last twelve months say this race belongs to Bank On Shea. This five-year-old moneyed all six of his career starts, winning four, including the most recent—the Affirmed Success Stakes (Black Type) at Belmont Park last April.

It’ll be tight, but I see Bank on Shea in the winner’s circle.

Top 100-ranked for both wins and earnings the past two years, Carlos A. David trains Bank On Shea for Shea D Boy’s Stable.
Friday Picks for Laurel Park

We’re on the dirt track for race six, a one mile claiming race for fillies and mares four years old and upward that have never won two races. Sorry, but I’m not buying a morning-line favorite that took 17 tries to graduate the maiden class.

In fact, I had to dive down to the 8/1 sleeper to find a horse I could tout without crossing my fingers: Tuff But Fair, ridden by Johan Rosado.

This four-year-old filly moneyed four of her nine career starts, winning one—her initial maiden attempt. Versus the rest of this nine-horse field, she’s a star.

Forty-five-year horseracing veteran Charles L. Frock trains Tuff But Fair for owner Gerald L. Burns.

Race seven is a six-furlong starter allowance race for four-year-old’s and upward. This one is Friday’s no-brainer pick: 1/2 morning-line favorite Beverly Park, with veteran jockey Mychel J. Sanchez in the irons.

This five-year-old finished 12 of his 18 career starts in the money, winning ten. Of his ten starts in 2021, he won nine. Yeah. He’ll do.
Newcomer Norman L. Cash trains Beverly Park for Built Wright Stables, LLC.

For race eight—a 1-1/16 miles allowance run on the dirt track for fillies and mares four years old and upward—I’m betting on the fourth-favored (at 5/1) Award Wanted, piloted by Xavier Perez.

This five-year-old mare moneyed eleven of her 19 career starts, winning four. Notably, she finished third in the Maryland Million Turf Distaff Starter Handicap in October here at Laurel Park. Like the M/L favorite, Award Wanted won three races in 2021.

Longtime horseracing veteran John J. Robb trains Award Wanted for owners No Guts No Glory Farm and Erica Upton.

Horse Racing Picks
Tvg Sitetakeover 992x300

Most Likely Winner: (Race 6: Warrior’s Battle #8, 4/1):

Trainer Brad Cox is starting to get his stable moving in the new year at Oaklawn, and you know what that means … He has a filly by Khozan that is coming back to the track looking to make a leap up in class. Last out in an MC40k on 5 December, she was absolutely stellar, winning easily by 7+ lengths. Florent Geroux was on her that day, and will be again this time. With a speed fig like she posted last time, it is easy to see why she can win. This is Oaklawn … the cream rises to the top!

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Win, #8

Off-the-Pace Play of the Day: (Race 4: Freudian Fate #5, 5/1):

Owner Maggi Moss is a force in the business, and she invests in some quality runners. Trainer Jason Barkley took this 6-yr-old by Freud on after Chris Hartman had her for a minute. Sending her into ALLW Co. @OP on 19 December was not a positive move, if you look at how she finished. The race just gave her all kinds of problems, so it will be interesting to see how she reacts at this level. Taking a step forward is not going to be easy, but she has a shot with one of Hot Springs’ best … Francisco Arrieta. That … and her price of 5/1, or higher … could make her an overlay.

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Bankroll, Graduated Wager WPS #5 ($10-W, $15-P, $75-S)

Spotlight Race of the Day: (Race 8: Dirt, 1 Mile, AOC80k, 3F):

A 1 Mile affair that finishes in the short stretch at Oaklawn is going to ably serve as the “feature.” In this OC80k edition, it is the 3-yr-old fillies who take center stage. A focal point will be the match-up between trainers Steve Asmussen and Brad Cox. They continue to do battle in races like these, and you can bet that this is going to be a fun one. Others will try to take them on, and that only makes for a more interesting story that will unfold. Asmussen conditions Waterworks #7 for Clark Brewster, and she is a filly by Mosler that tried to make a move as a 2-yr-old from MSW Co. into a “Non-G” race at Laurel. She was bet by the public, but did not reward them, ending up 5th out of 8. A comeback race in early December followed at Aqueduct at the same level as this race. Again, she was off-the-board. You have to wonder about this filly, and if she is just trying to find her spot. Maybe coming to Oaklawn’s dirt will be the ticket. Jockey Ricardo Santana and his trainer reunite for this battle. As for Cox, he has a pair that are drawn in. It looks like Famed #6 will get quite a bit of play, after this well-bred filly by Uncle Mo is dropping out of the Golden Rod (G2). She was 4th in that contest, and looks classy enough to scoop this field, as Florent Geroux (the only one to ride her in 3 starts) is back aboard. I actually like her stablemate more. Ice Baby #2 was at the Fair Grounds back on 17 December, and she won convincingly in a MSW32k sprint going 6F. I am betting she can, and wants, to go longer. I do love those that are sired by Frosted, and this one is going to be an excellent price at 8/1. The addition of Francisco Arrieta is solid news too. His record speaks for itself, even if he rarely works with Cox. One other runner I want to use on this ticket is from the Lauer Barn. Torte #4 was excellent @OP back in mid-December, and she was 2nd in an OC80k sprint at crazy odds—55/1. Jon Court urged her on late in the game, and she clearly outran her price on the tote. If you look through her past form, she has some nice efforts, and maybe one of these days she is going to break through with a major win. Let’s use her in a Trifecta Wheel, and see if we can cash a ticket! Cox wins this one …

Wagering Recommendation: $2 Trifecta Wheel, 2 w 4/6/7 w 4/6/7

Most Likely Winner: (Race 7: My Golden Bling #6, 9/5):

Anyone who is into Texas breds knows the name My Golden Song. He has had a major impact on racing at Sam Houston. Here is yet another of his offspring that is continuing the tradition of winning in the Lone Star State. Trainer Austin Gustafson has brought this mare along, and tonight she is sure to score in this ALLW Co. race. Getting the solid riding skills of Ry Eikleberry is a plus, and even off of the break, she can bring the hammer. The way the track was setting up on Friday ... very slow ... that might play into her hands. 'Cappers are mighty high on Gustafson, and he can celebrate this one in the winner's circle at Sam.

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Win, #6

Off-the-Pace Play of the Day: (Race 8: Texas Whirlwind #1, 8/1):

Speaking of horses that are coming off-the-bench, here is one from J.R. Caldwell's outfit that looks viable as a long shot. Last year, this young filly was strong running in MSW Co. at Sam Houston, and then up at Lone Star. In early June she capped her season with a 2nd place result in ALLW Co. in Grand Prairie. Normally, young horses like these can mature quite rapidly, and I think she has a chance to move forward. Some might argue she "needs a race," but I am not buying it. Lane Luzzi gets the call, and we are going to see what kind of ability he has aboard this homebred. Hopefully the price hovers around 8/1 ...

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Bankroll, Graduated Wager WPS #1 ($10-W, $15-P, $75-S)

Spotlight Race of the Day: (Race 5: Turf, 1 Mile, AOC50k, 3F):

Early on in this Sam Houston Meet, the John B. Connally Turf Course will be used sparingly. On this Friday Night, I would consider this race, an AOC50k, to be a good one to wager on. Of course, Steve Asmussen has an entry that is going to get a ton of play. Carioquinoa #1 is 2/1 on the M/L, but I do not think this filly by Gun Runner has what it takes to get to the winner’s circle. Sure, running on debut at Kentucky Downs qualifies as grass experience, but she was on the dirt next out. I do not want to accept 2/1 on this Three Chimneys homebred.

Looking elsewhere is a good plan. I am pretty keen on Circle Back Girl #7. Her Remington form does not look too bad at all, and Danny Caldwell is an owner of some renown in OKC. He just won the “Owner Title” there, and Martin Villafranco might have a good one on his hands. He is a small-time conditioner, but that does not mean he does not have ability. Trying the grass for the 1st time is the plan, and the pedigree on either side looks full of promise. Ezequiel Lara gets the call, and his lawn jockey skills are more than adequate.

As for a couple of others to include in this wager, I fancy Tyler’s Dream #4 from Greg Green’s outfit. This is a classy young filly by Carpe Diem that last ran on the dirt out at Zia Park in a “Non-G.” The winner of that contest came back and won nicely. Putting her in, if she can deal with the blades, then she could be a player. One other one that looks smart is Rollin Chrome #3 … her connection to California Chrome is not the turf link; instead it is through the dam side—Yankee Gentleman. I am up for playing a Superfecta, which could be a tidy sum if we cash!

Wagering Recommendation: $2 Superfecta Wheel, 7 w 1/3/4 w 1/3/4 w 1/3/4

Today’s Horse Racing Tips – 7th January 2022
By: Racing and Sports

Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for January 7.

Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Canterbury, Port Macquarie, Orange, Cranbourne, Stawell, Sunshine Coast, Mackay, Narrogin and Hobart.

CANTERBURY: RACE 8 @ 9:30 PM

JUNGLE BOOK (8) looks the value runner in this. Will strip fitter third-up from the spell and has placed four from five around this tricky circuit. Has won up to 2000m and on all going and should be right there at the business end. KUTAYHA (3) is an exotics player's dream only missing the top four once in 17 outings and that was a fifth last time out. Strips fitter, gets Bowman and draws low. Plenty of ticks. ATLANTIC KING (4) has been building up towards another win and must be kept safe. MACCOMO (14) has placed four from four over this trip and gets in well at the weights with the claim. In the mix. CANYONERO (5) best of the rest from the low draw.
SELECTIONS: Jungle Book each-way.

As a FREE Racing and Sports offer, below is the Canterbury Computer Card.

Upload 1

PORT MACQUARIE: RACE 8 @ 5:25 PM

MILLENNIUM JEWEL (9) has been thereabouts in all four runs since joining the new stable and strikes a winnable affair here. Gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim and gets her chance to break through in a race like this. SEETHING SEB (7) will be at peak fitness for this and drawn to get a soft run from gate two. Looks a top-three player. SASIL ESROH (11) placed over this journey last time out and is one for the multiples. OPAL GLORY (2) will be rock-hard fit and may earn some minor money. KINGDOM OF GOLD (6) is a massive market watch on debut.
SELECTIONS: Millennium Jewel to win.

ORANGE: RACE 1 @ 1:35 PM

CINQUE TORRI (2) went under by 3.2L as favourite at this track and trip last time out after back-to-back wins prior to that. Back in grade with the blinkers applied first time today. Should go to the front and be hard to run down. THE DROVER (1) finished 1.8L off the winner in the same race as Cinque Torri last start and draws much better today. Goes well this track and trip and Buckley sticks which is a great push for his chances. Blinkers go on again and he'll make his presence felt. MANADRIA (4) won well two back before pulling up with a poor recovery rate after his poor performance last start. Gets in light after the 2kg claim and won't be far away. Dean Mirfin-trained duo SUPERGAZE (8) and KIMMYLEE (5) haven't won for some time but have run well here previously. They're worth keeping safe.
SELECTIONS: Expecting Cinque Torri to bounce back and win.

CRANBOURNE: RACE 8 @ 9:45 PM

MIDWEST (4) has won both runs in and keeps improving. In a top barn and keeps the handy 3kg claim. She will ride the speed and can make the hat-trick. TSUNAMI SAM (5) resumes and is also in good hands. Led and won in NZ his only start bringing two big trial wins. The colt looks to have plenty of ability and the late market will tell plenty. PRINCE OF MERCIA (8) wasn't far away at Adelaide off the 1.3L defeat at Bendigo. Peaks and winning rider Kah is reunited. Gets the blinkers again and weight relief and is a winning chance. ABSEILER (6) has been in need of the two runs in. This fellow was just beaten in a Blue Diamond preview a year ago and is one to include at odds.
SELECTIONS: Midwest sets a decent standard.

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 3 @ 6:38 PM

THELWELL (1) went a bold race last start at Doomben when racing three wide and coming from seventh at the turn to finish second of nine runners at Doomben in a Group 3 event over 1200m at odds of $10. Will appreciate the easier field here and rates as the runner to beat. Blinkers go on for the first time. YANKEE RIVER (3) was only seventh at Doomben last time out over 1200m after a slow start but gets into a field which suits her better. One of the main dangers. MILANO BOOM (6) is a two year old filly on debut out of a Listed winning mare who can surprise, watch the markets on this runner. Blinkers on for the first time. LICENCED AND READY (5) won a recent trial and although she finished last of five runners here last start when on debut can fall into a place at odds.
SELECTIONS: Thelwell looks thrown in to win here.

SUNSHINE COAST: RACE 4 @ 7:08 PM

WINSIDE (7) fought on strongly when finishing fourth of nine runners here over 1000m last start which followed a neck second at Gold Coast over 900m when trying to lead all the way. Hard to ignore his winning chances based on recent runs. AIR SPIRIT (6) is having his third run back from a spell after coming from 11th at the turn last start to finish fifth over 1000m at this track. Has won four races from 12 starts at this track and is one of the leading hopes. MORT DOYLE (3) is having his second run back from a spell and should strip a lot fitter following a last start third of seven at Gold Coast. Winner of four races from 14 previous starts here and is a strong chance to add to that record. INVINCIBLE LAD (2) is fresh-up following an all of the win over 1000m at Tamworth beating seven rivals home. Smart enough to trouble this field fresh-up.
SELECTIONS: Mort Doyle we like each-way.

MACKAY: RACE 8 @ 5:10 PM

YUAN FEN (6) was beaten a nose at long odds when fresh-up here last start over 1200m after getting checked at the start and again with 100m to run. Will strip a lot fitter today and with a clear run should prove hard to beat. BUSTER MOON (3) is racing third-up today from a spell and following a last start fourth of 10 runners over 1200m when leading into the home straight will strip a lot fitter. Should appreciate the extra 100m in distance today having won once from four starts over that trip. DUSKY DAMSEL (5) wasn't that far away last start at Townsville when coming from ninth at the turn to finish fifth of 14 runners over 1200m. Should be right there at the finish. CHAMPAGNE AT DAWN (1) has won three races and placed three times here from nine starts including a victory two back over 1300m when defeating 10 rivals. Can return to winning form in this field.
SELECTIONS: Yuan Fen we like here.

NARROGIN: RACE 4 @ 3:50 PM

IZZY MAY (4) was out-graded two runs in town before coming here and recording an overdue win. Has more weight today but looks capable of repeating. SAX ON QUE (3) has just gone under the last two as favourite with the latest at Albany in stronger class. Has a handy 1.5kg claim and should go close. BOYISH (1) led here second-up and folded late beaten 2.2L. That was a much improved effort and fitter he can't be ruled out. BRAVE CONTENDER (2) resumes and will use the rail. It's been a long time between wins but he won't be far away if presented forward.
SELECTIONS: Going with Izzy May.

HOBART: RACE 1 @ 11:22 AM

PIIINK BEAUTY (8) made a very promising debut and should be even better for that experience, after the 3kg claim she looks the one to beat. ELMAJAY (6) is another that looked smart on debut and has won a trial since then. Winkers added and she looks the main threat to the top selection. BOLD INSTINCT (1) was fair on debut but would have come on with that run and from the handy draw will be right in the finish. FROLAND (2) didn't really know much on debut and only picked up the bit late to finish fourth. He has had a trial since his last start effort and won't be far away. Include in all multiples.
SELECTIONS: Piiink Beauty win bet.
