Aqueduct Picks: Haynesfield S. set on March 20
By J.N. Campbell


Aqueduct Picks - Sunday, March 20, 2022

Race 1: 2-4-1-6
Race 2: 2-6-1-7
Race 3: 6-3-1-5
Race 4: 6-5-3-4
Race 5: 1-5-6-7
Race 6: 7-2-1-4
Race 7: 4-1-2-7
Race 8: 5-1-4-3
Race 9: 6-3-4-2
Race 10: 6-1-9-4
**Most Likely Winner: Lil Commissioner #4 (Race 7)**
**Best Value: Air Show #5 (Race 8)**

Most Likely Winner: (Race 7: Lil Commissioner #4, 3/1):

Trainer Rob Atras has quietly had a solid AQU Winter Meet. Right now, he is at roughly 24% winners … not bad for some 120 starts, eh? I think he has a winner for sure in this spot, and his 7-yr-old gelding should romp against this field. The veteran runner is coming off a nice little break, and with the steady hand of Kendrick Carmouche, the team should be able to marshal a win. This one is making quite a drop in class, and that is a catalyst for a victory.

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Win, #4



Off-the-Pace Play of the Day: (Race 8: Air Show #5, 10/1):

In a tough Starter Allowance like this one, you want to try and find some superb value where you can. This is one of those races where anyone … and I mean anyone … can win this contest. I am wanting to go “long,” and I found an entry that could be a sleeper pick. This gelding by Street Sense tried this level for Orlando Noda last time, and it was his 1st start off-the-claim. He did not run poorly (4th), especially considering his previous 3 races were in the Claiming ranks. Getting young Jalon Samuel to ride is not necessarily a knock, but he is going to have to catch the break early. If he can, this nicely priced runner will make for a great score.

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



Spotlight Race of the Day: (Race 9: Dirt, 1 Mile, Haynesfield S., $100k, 4+ NY Breds):

The “feature” on this Sunday is a 1-turn event that is going to bring out a slugfest among these 6. State breds like these should be used to this type of arrangement, and the one to beat is Michelle Nevin’s well-tested sprinter, My Boy Tate #3. The 8-yr-old gelding just continues to be the shortest price, each and every time he takes to the track. In this division of NY “Non-Gs” he has a devastating kick that is at-the-ready. With Manny Franco aboard, once again, the son of Boys At Tosconova could be in the winner’s circle for the 2nd time this year. I already know that I want to try and beat Nevin’s ace, but it is going to take a major effort from my top selection. Steve Asmussen has a small NY Stable, but it is backed by a machine that stretches throughout the Southwest Circuit. Chestertown #6, owned partially by West Point Thoroughbreds, looks to have some budding skills. The gelding by Tapit was up against Nevin in the Say Florida Sandy S., and he ended up off-the-board. Coming back to “The Big A,” he easily won an OC62.5kn2x event in early February. This is his moment to shine, and with the services of Jose Lezcano (his 5th time aboard), I like this one’s chances. It will not be easy, as I mentioned, because Gary Sciacca’s Lobsta #4 is also coming back to play. This salty son of Emcee is a rival of Nevin’s charge, and was 2nd in the Say Florida Sandy S. back in early January. He is a tough customer, and his regular rider, Javier Castellano is in-town to take the mount. My plan is to include all 3 of these entries, and construct a Trifecta ticket … this is going to be a wonderful race to wager and watch!

Wagering Recommendation: $2 Trifecta Box, 3/4/6

Race 10: #11 Lucky With You, #12 Navas Two, #5 Stoltz, #4 California Rad

Race 1: Ping Hai Star Handicap

#5 Eternal Bloom caught the eye on debut when closing for sixth from way back in the field. Expect he can improve again with a clean run and a bit of luck to finish off. #4 Erimo steps out on debut. He crossed the line first in a recent trial and does appear ready to fire first-up in Hong Kong for John Size. #7 Starry Night looks better than his debut seventh suggests. Strong booking of Zac Purton should ensure his chance. #14 Island Surprise gets in light and draws well. He steps away off a dangerous mark.

Race 2: Super Satin Handicap

#12 Sweet Diamond steps out on debut following a stylish trial at Conghua. He looks forward enough to make an impact first-up in Hong Kong. #1 Run Run Cool has shown plenty of talent at times. He should improve further now stepping down to Class 4 with Zac Purton up. #3 Kowloon East Star has claims as a winner down the straight two starts ago. Expect he can bounce back after finishing fifth last start. #4 Lucky Gor did well on debut to finish third. Don’t discount here.

Race 3: Helene Mascot Handicap

#5 Star Contact is lightly raced but on the steady improve. He steps away favourably from gate three which should give him every chance, especially at his second time racing over the mile. #1 Amazing Teens steps onto the turf. Suspect he isn’t just a one-trick pony and can translate his best from the dirt onto the grass. #3 City Legend is competitive in his spot. Strong booking of Jerry Chau for Benno Yung signals intent. #7 Toycoon draws awkwardly but is racing well. He commands respect with Joao Moreira engaged.

Race 4: Fay Fay Handicap

#12 Durham Star is progressing well under the care of Douglas Whyte. He closed nicely last start and looks well placed to take another step forward here. Strong booking of Alexis Badel. #6 Cheery did well on debut. He can progress again. #1 Lifeline Vision has twice finished second across his last three runs. He gets a favourable draw here and he has shown that it is only a matter of time before he breaks through. #2 Star Of Yuen Long mixes his form but has improved in this grade after taking the step down. He just needs to overcome the wide draw.

Race 5: Akeed Mofeed Handicap

#3 Rise Brethren has done well across five starts in Hong Kong. Owners will be out for some riches after missing out on the BMW Hong Kong Derby and it wouldn’t surprise to see him nail it here. #4 Copartner Elites rolled into fourth on debut. He can take another step forward. #7 Boom Alliance soared home to narrowly miss last start. He’s an emergency for the BMW Hong Kong Derby and he probably wouldn’t look out of place there. #11 Vincy is a threat. He’s dangerous off this mark, especially armed with barrier four.

Race 6: Designs On Rome Handicap

#9 Zoom Boom bounced into form last start with a close-up second. He looks ready to go one better here, especially as he is suited to racing over a mile. #6 Majestic Victory surprised at 44/1 last time out. Still, he must be respected again following that effort for trainer Tony Cruz. #7 Running Glory is a two-time winner from his last three starts. He has a powerful finish and he should love every metre of the mile on offer. #11 Nothing Impossible turned his form around to score last time out. Don’t discount for a repeat.

Race 7: Luger Handicap

#6 Voyage Bubble was utterly dominant last time out when scoring under Zac Purton by three lengths. He steps up in grade but this looks like a minor obstacle for a horse with his talents. #7 Buzzinga steps out on debut. He did well in Australia as a one-time winner and he has looked well in his trials, crossing the post first in his most recent effort at Conghua. #5 Pins Prince is a tidy little racer. He’ll find the right spot. #3 Here Comes Ted can use the gate and from the there he should get every chance.

Race 8: BMW Hong Kong Derby

Very, very competitive BMW Hong Kong Derby but #9 Rocket Spade appeals and most likely at a price too. The blinkers are applied for the first time now – which he wore when he won the Group 1 New Zealand Derby. Expect he can improve and bounce back to his best and on that, he’s worth taking a chance on. #2 Romantic Warrior should see out the distance after his ground-covering effort last start. He just needs a smooth run to be a big threat. #1 California Spangle should find the front. He’ll look the winner at some stage and Zac Purton’s expertise will ensure he gets his chance to keep kicking. #6 Senor Toba can save ground from the inside draw. He has the quality to be a major player.

Race 9: Collection Handicap

#9 California Sky is progressing well across only three starts in Hong Kong. He has a stack of potential and with a smooth run throughout he should be able to put his best foot forward. #6 Texas Moon scored well on debut at 71/1. He can improve again, especially from gate two. #3 Heza Beauty mixes his form but on his day does boast a powerful turn of foot, as displayed earlier this season when he saluted at 78/1. Don’t discount with Joao Moreira up. #1 Sauvestre pieced it all together for a classy win last start. Expect more again.

Race 10: Rapper Dragon Handicap

#11 Lucky With You returns to his preferred trip. He’s a top-class operator over the sprint trips and if he finds the front he could prove awfully difficult to run down. #12 Navas Two does the same. He too, looks like a sprinting talent. Expect another big run from him here. #5 Stoltz owns the course record at Happy Valley. He should improve now with experience at Sha Tin. Zac Purton retains the ride which is a plus. #4 California Rad has claims. He can challenge this group.

DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, March 20, 2022
DRF Staff

Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.

12:40 LRL 1st VOLTAMOUR (#7, 6-1) ran an odd race last time out. He seemed uncomfortable dealing with the kickback in the opening furlongs and was taken back to last and the far outside entering the turn. For a minute, it looked like he was going to be eased, but he kicked on belatedly to pass some tired horses. Perhaps getting back out to two turns will help. -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

12:44 TAM 2nd BRYCENS GOLD (#6, 8-1) probably needed his return try two back while most recent was just much better. This 6YO mare puts three races together for only the second time which tells us she is feeling better. Morales leaves for the Casse horse but that wasn't unexpected. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:14 TAM 3rd REYNA DE VERANO (#9, 15-1) is just much better on the turf something she returns too today. We like that she puts races back to back without a layoff. Previous two dirt starts darken form and help the price. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:45 TAM 4th AZULENE (#1, 8-1) was stuck between foes in her debut and basically just ran around the track. Perfect. She got needed race experience and will be a decent price today. This is dam's first foal so no help there. This filly did get some play in said debut. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:52 AQU 2nd DARN THAT SONG (#1, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:13 LRL 4th Think it's a good sign that KILLY START (#7, 7-2) showed improved speed in his second lifetime outing. Prompted winner outside under a ride and tired in the final three-sixteenths. The runner-up from that race returned to place third for the waiver with a 44 Beyer. Might get a nice outside stalking trip while clear of traffic. -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:15 TAM 7th MOON DOG (#7, 5-1) tried two turns on the turf in his debut and nothing is more difficult. We love that he ran evenly as it sets up a better try today. Trainer stats are solid across the board. Jock switch to Centeno could be telling as he is 32% for team Glyshaw. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:23 AQU 5th TORPEDO RUN (#4, 8-1) looked like he needed that debut last summer at Saratoga over a wet track vs. what, at the time, seemed like a good field; was a bit green early in that race before making a wide run around the turn, and then came up empty in the stretch; steadied a bit before keeping up behind a strong pace going a mile in his next start before once again failing to stay on; cuts back for his 3yo debut with Lasix on. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:36 GP 6th SOVEREIGN OF SPEED (#2, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Marty McGee). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:33 OP 6th ROAMING UNION (#7, 4-1) draws an improved post over his last start, when he broke from the 11-hole at this mile and a sixteenth distance. He ran a fine second that afternoon and note the start was also his first since September. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:38 GP 8th Going on 15 months since NEW YORK GIRL (#5, 6-1) last saw the winner's circle, something of a surprising development given the promise she showed last winter here and over at Tampa, but yeah, she's been regrouped and refreshed by her HOF trainer and seems to bring a class edge to this 3x alw. feature; edge in a competitive heat. -Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:04 OP 7th CHURCH SERVICE (#7, 5-1) ran a fine race on the cutback from a mile and a sixteenth to six furlongs last out and for her runner-up finish she earned what ranks as this field's best last-race Beyer Speed Figure. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:27 LRL 10th MEXICALI ROSE (#7, 6-1) is a LRL Best Bet (Dan Illman).

Oaklawn Picks: Melting Snow can clear on March 20
By J.N. Campbell


Oaklawn Park Picks - Sunday, March 20, 2022

Race 1: 4-2-5-1
Race 2: 4-8-6-1
Race 3: 5-2-3-11
Race 4: 6-1-3-5
Race 5: 7-2-3-8
Race 6: 11-7-6-2
Race 7: 5-2-7-10
Race 8: 8-9-4-5
Race 9: 7-8-1-5
**Most Likely Winner: Melting Snow #6 (Race 4)**
**Best Value: Ego #11 (Race 6)**

Most Likely Winner: (Race 4: Melting Snow #6, 7/2):

When it comes to “getting a winner” on this Sunday card at Oaklawn, I am “all-in” on Rene Amescua’s filly by Dialed In. The 4-yr-old really stepped up her game, as the barn sent her from ALLW Co. into an OC62.5kn2x event back in February. She did not disappoint, rallying from off-the-pace to get-up for the “Place.” That was against Novel Squall, a runner that has a certain cache. With Ricardo Santana aboard once again, I trust that Amescua, who has the chance to step into the limelight and out of the shadow of Peter Miller, has made the proper adjustments. This one arrives with a strong level of fitness, and I am hoping for odds of around 2/1. Anything above that … it’s an overlay.

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Win, #6



Off-the-Pace Play of the Day: (Race 6: Ego #11, 10/1):

Looking over a horse’s recent form, you want to find a runner that has made progress when it comes to their level of fitness. Maybe the conditioner just went too “high” on the class meter, and tried to do too much. Here is a gelding by Quality Road for Paul Holthus whose “porridge” is just right. After 2 Starter ALLW Co. attempts, he is dropping into a much easier spot. This one can handle a pair of turns, but he is going to need a bit of luck exiting the gate from the extreme outside. Veteran Jon Court will be assigned that particular duty, and if anyone knows how to take up a position for a stalking trip, it’s him. You can count on this one being a double-digit price come post time, and that is just fine by me!

Wagering Recommendation: $100 Bankroll, Graduated Wager WPS #11 ($10-W, $15-P, $75-S)



Spotlight Race of the Day: (Race 8: Dirt, 5½F, ALLW106kn1x, 4+):

We “spotlight” a group of older males that will be sprinting along the backstretch. I am sure that most bettors will be “using” Scott Young’s Mesa Moon #9 … and rightly so. The gelding by Sky Mesa was 2nd at this level last time, just behind the fab Saffa’s Day. That effort was a “Dead Heat” with A C Expressway. There is no question that Young’s Oklahoma bred has outrun his class during the Meet. Still, despite these ticks to the plus-side, I want to grab some value elsewhere. When it comes to a top selection, I am pretty keen on Chris Hartman’s Devil’s Tower #8. This gelding is by Into Mischief, and he is coming into this higher grade with 3 wins in-a-row to his credit. It continues to be fun to watch this 4-yr-old move from Claiming to Starter Allowances, and now, to high-end Allowance Co. like this contest. Bred by Shortleaf Stables, he has the opportunity to eclipse this field. Hartman once again goes to Francisco Arrieta, and his riding is going to lead to the “title.” With fitness that appears loaded, I am hoping that the betting gamers will steer clear of this one … doubting his ability to rise to the occasion. One other entry that looks inviting, from the barn of Jerry Hollendorfer, is Stratofortress #4. This class leaper is trying to build on a body of work that was steadily garnered against MSW runners. Geo Franco gets the call for Hollendorfer (who is also a part-owner), and he is going to try and get this one home. What a tough hop this is going to be, but we know his level of fitness is looking promising after 3 attempts already during the Meet. Using all 3 of these horses that I mentioned makes sense, and I am hoping that they can come home 1-2-3! Check the order up top for the official word on this subject …

Wagering Recommendation: $2 Trifecta Box, 4/8/9

Aqueduct Horses in Focus for Sunday, March 20
Posted on March 19, 2022 by David Aragona

RACE 5: HOWE STREET (#5)

Those with experience do very little for me in this first division of two 7-furlong maiden events. #4 Torpedo Run just can’t seem to finish off his races, even after traveling well to the quarter pole last time. #6 Cathedral Beach showed some promise in his debut, but he’s gone backwards since then. I instead want to focus on the first time starters. #1 Efficiency sold for $290k as an early yearling, and has presumably been gelded since that time. Gun Runner is a 24% debut sire, and the dam was a dirt winner who was stakes-placed on turf. This is her first foal to race, though the dam is a half-sister to a multiple G3 turf winner. Chad Brown is 8 for 29 (28%, $2.28 ROI) with first time starters on dirt at Aqueduct over the past 3 years. The last gate work matches Higher Quality, who starts in today’s first race. There are some things to like, but I’m a little more interested in others. My top pick is #5 Howe Street. This homebred is by 8% debut sire Honor Code. The unraced dam has produced 4 foals, all of which are winners. The best of those is G3-placed turfer Conviction Trade, though this colt is also a half-brother to dirt sprint winner Equal Pay. Jorge Abreu is 11 for 37 (30%, $3.61 ROI) with first time starters in dirt sprints over the past 5 years. Howe Street has been working pretty well down in Florida. That Feb. 11 drill was in company with Busher winner Venti Valentine. He was second best to that one but held his own under pressure. I also would give a look to #7 Sugar Gray Leonard. Maclean’s Music is a good debut sire and Brittany Russell knows how to prepare a first time starter. It’s a good sign that this one is shipping up for the race.

RACE 6: DOWNTOWN CONNECTOR (#1)

#7 Awesome Aaron figures to be a heavy favorite in this second division of two 7-furlong maiden events on this card. He just ran like a horse who needed a start in his debut. He was ridden early and just flattened out through the stretch going 6 furlongs. Chad Brown stretched him all the way out to 9 furlongs for his second start and he took a big step forward. The blinkers seemed to give him added focus, as he traveled in the bridle early before taking over at the head of the lane. He got run down late, but he ran a winning race. The turnback makes plenty of sense for a son of Practical Joke, and he figures to be tough to handle if he merely holds that form. I prefer him to likely second choice #2 Check That Chip. He had legitimate trouble in the debut and showed improvement last time. However, I don’t think effort is going to beat the favorite, so he probably needs to take another step forward to win. My top pick at what should be a better price is #1 Downtown Connector. He got sent off at large prices in all of his starts at Fair Grounds this winter. He stayed on mildly when beaten less than 3 lengths in his sprint debut in December and has failed to step forward since then. However, he’s gone longer in those two subsequent starts and hasn’t gotten ideal trips either time. He was shuffled back at the start two back, and encountered a similar situation last time, as he raced out of position early. That’s probably why blinkers are going on here, to get him more involved early in his races. I like the turnback and he’s arguably getting some class relief, since this isn’t the toughest field for the level.

RACE 9: WATER’S EDGE (#2)

#3 My Boy Tate and #4 Lobsta figure to vie for favoritism once again after finish within a length of each other in their last two meetings. Lobsta got the better of his older foe in the New York Stallion Series stakes back in December. My Boy Tate appeared to turn the tables on him when he crossed the wire ahead of Lobsta in the Say Florida Sandy. Unfortunately, the stewards deemed that My Boy Tate caused interference and he was disqualified from that win. They both stretch out to a mile here, which shouldn’t bother either one. Lobsta excelled going a mile early in his career and My Boy Tate is actually the defending champion in this race, though that is his only career victory at a mile. I slightly prefer the consistency and grit of My Boy Tate, though he typically goes off at a short price. Lobsta may also have a pace advantage here, since there isn’t much front-running speed signed on. They’re both logical, but I think there are others worth considering. I’m not completely against Michelle Nevin’s other 8-year-old entrant #5 Our Last Buck. He had a legitimate excuse when wide two back and last time faced tougher open company foes. Yet I want to go to a new face at this level for my top pick. #2 Water’s Edge moves up to stakes company for the first time after working his way through his state-bred allowance conditions. I like the way David Donk has managed this colt, gradually stretching him out in distance as he’s risen in class. He’s a hard trier who never gives up without a fight. That attribute was on display last time when he dug in gamely to fend off a late challenge going 9 furlongs. The cutback to a mile should suit him, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jorge Vargas gets aggressive from this inside draw. He’s quick enough to contest the pace, and he appeared to do well last time leading the pack with blinkers added.

Seoul & Busan Sunday – Sports Chosun Trophy: Race-by-Race Preview (March 20)

The Listed Sports Chosun Trophy at Seoul is the feature race of the day but there is plenty going on across the cards, including appearances by the likes of Eoma Eoma, Morfhis and East Jet in a big handicap. There are 11 races at Seoul from 10:45 to 18:00 plus 6 at Busan from 12:00 to 16:40. All betting locations are open, however, attendance must be pre-booked through the MyCard app. Here are the previews:

Seoul Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million

Three-year-old maiden fillies kick things off and we’ll be happy to side with the solitary first-time starter. That’s (7) DREAM ROSE who comes in having performed well in a trial two weeks ago when she led for much of the way around, ultimately crossing the line just half a length behind last year’s Oaks winner Choegang Black in a decent time. If se brings that kind of form to the races, she can produce a bold showing first-up here. (6) CONCORD QUEEN will dispute favourite status. After an indifferent debut, she has done well in her latest two, racing prominently throughout. She’ll be on the speed here and has every chance. So too (4) SONGAM BEST, who has run 3rd in both starts so far at 1000M and 1200M. She too is likely to be up on the early speed and can go close. (1 ) ARCH RIVER ran through the line well enough on debut and may appreciate the additional trip today. (8) TOP POSITION another one in the frame for improvement.
Selections (7) Dream Rose (6) Concord Queen (4) Songam Best (1) Arch River
Next Best 8, 9
Fast Start 4, 6, 7, 9

Seoul Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million

More maidens here, this time with three of the twelve racing for the first time. (3) CONCORDE SPURT is the one to beat having finished no worse than 4th in three starts so far including his latest when coming from midfield to run on well for 2nd place. He draws a better gate today and should have too much. (2) EUREKA has run well for 4th in both his latest two aces, the most recent of which was over today’s distance. He ran the same time for the 1200M as Concorde Spurt and looks one of the more credible dangers in this field. (8) PURPLE WORLD ran a good 2nd on debut over 1000M on January 29th. He should have come on for the experience and there is no reason the additional furlong can’t suit. Of the first timers, (9) CHAPEL PRINCESS looks the best placed to make an immediate impact having won a trial at the end of January. (1) RAON THE CHUKJE can potentially improve having received a good draw for the first time.
Selections (3) Concorde Spurt (2) Eureka (8) Purple World (9) Chapel Princess
Next Best 1, 6
Fast Start 2, 6, 8, 11

Seoul Race 3: Class 6 (1200M) Allowance / KRW 25 Million

It’s hard to go past (2) KING CRUSH here. He has been consistent across his seven starts so far with his best being 3rd place two starts back over 1300M. He has run fair times and from a nice draw should be hard to beat. (4) DONGSEO YEOGEOL is the only runner in the race with a 2nd place to her name, which she achieved four starts ago in early December. She can be on pace here and should be in this a long way. (5) P N S HER has three 4th place finishes from six starts so far, including her latest two. She has also recorded the fastest time among these for the distance and should be aiming for a career-best finish in this company. (10) SINJURYU has a best finish of 3rd. He tends to settle back and tries to run on so the wide draw may not be a concern. (8) MYEONGJIN CANDY the only other one in the race to have hinted at much ability so far.
Selections (2) King Crush (4) Dongseo Yeogeol (5) P N S Her (10) Sinjuryu
Next Best 8, 1
Fast Start 2, 4, 6, 8

Busan Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million

One of two first-time starters, (1) HAMYANGEUN SANSAM looks the one to beat here. He wasn’t ready when trialed for the first-time last September but looked a totally different prospect when on pace throughout and crossing the line first in another heat in February. Drawn nicely on the inside, he won’t need to improve much on that to win. (2) SEOGWI CHUKJE ran fairly for 5th at start number two on February 11th, going right back and then running on over 1200M. The slight step up in trip can be a bonus here. (7) SPECIAL WIND was 6th in that same race on what was his debut. He should have come for that and with natural improvement can be aiming for the places here. (4) ALL CROWN and (8) UNJU STAR look the best of a limited rest.
Selections (1) Hamyangeun Sansam (2) Seogwi Chukje (7) Special Wind (4) All Crown
Next Best 8, 3
Fast Start 1, 6, 7, 8

Seoul Race 4: Class 5 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million

Fillies and mares only here. (4) MAGIC TIDE was a winner at this class over 1200M two starts back before finishing 4th on her latest outing, again at 1200M, on February 19th in what was arguably tougher company than this. She has run a fair time at this distance and while she comes up in the weights, she gets a better draw than last time and will be favourite to strike here. (7) COOL PRINCESS has also run a good time for the distance and comes in looking as though she is working towards another victory with a 4th and a 3rd from her latest two outings at 1200M and 1300M. She has settled back in midfield in those but may be ridden bit further forward today and can be a danger. (3) HAPPY SOCKS will need a line drawn through her latest when she struggled from a wide gate. Much better drawn and slightly down in weight she can be given another chance here. (10) CHEONEUNCHONG comes up in class having got her maiden win at start three on February 13th. She is up in trip too but in this company should measure up. Also up in class, (11) LAGERTHA is another to consider.
Selections (4) Magic Tide (7) Cool Princess (3) Happy Socks (10) Cheoneunchong
Next Best 11, 1
Fast Start 1, 5, 6, 7

Busan Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Allowance / KRW 25 Million

A very tricky race. (9) BLUE CARSON has been as consistent as any across her eight starts so far – i.e., she has mixed her form but has a 3rd and a 2nd to her name at this distance as well as fair times. The draw won’t matter so much, and she can make the breakthrough here. (4) WIND CROSS comes in following a good 3rd place over 1400M during which he led at times. He should be on pace again today and can be in this long way again. (11) INDIE MAGIC was a good 2nd on debut and while he had a hard time on his second appearance on February 25th, that was his first try at 1200M and he can have come on for that run and be in the mix here. (10) B.K. HANA and (2) ARTIE’S GAL are others who should be in at least the placing frame.
Selections (9) Blue Carson (4) Wind Cross (11) Indie Magic (10) B.K. Hana
Next Best 2, 1
Fast Start 2, 4, 7, 10

Seoul Race 5: Class 5 (1700M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million

Good race. (6) TITAN SOCKS is the top pick and probable favourite. He is yet to finish outside the top-five in four starts which includes a win over 1200M at class 6 level back in January. At his latest start on February 26th, he stepped up to this class and distance and sat midfield before running on for 3rd. He carries the same weight today, draws better, and may take some beating. (3) DAEMUL comes up in class and distance having got his maiden win at start number two on February 19th when handy throughout and running on to win very well. He comes down a couple of kilos in weight and there is not reason why he can’t measure up in this company. (5) RUNNING NUMBER ONE was a winner at this distance at class 6 level two starts back and while he could only manage 6th on his first try at this class on February 19th, he can be given another chance today. It’s been a while since (4) AMAZING WHIZ was in the winner’s circle, but she is a model of consistency and this is the kind of race she knows how to find the minor money in. (10) BRAVO SOCKS and (1) THAT’S MY BOY, the latter along with Running Number One the only previous winner at this distance, are others to consider.
Selections (6) Titan Socks (3) Daemul (5) Running Number One (4) Amazing Whiz

Fast Start 2, 3, 7, 8

Busan Race 3: Class 5 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million

(5) ORANGE GARAGE was an all the way winner over a mile on March 4th, continuing the progress he has made at every start. He comes up in class and in distance today but comes down in the weights, Seo Seung-un remains aboard and he draws well for another bold showing at what could well be an each-way price. (4) WONDERFUL WORLD showed signs of a return to form when beating a few of these on his way to 3rd place at lass and distance on February 20th. He tends to go back and run on and can match or better that finish here. (7) DOCTOR PHAROAH had a bit of a wobble at the tail end of last year but hinted at a return to form with a good 3rd place over 1200M at this class on February 11th. He comes up in class here but can measure up. (11) SINJIN GANGHO stretches out to 1800M having put in an encouraging run of form over a mile recently. He settles back and then runs on so the wide draw is no issue, and he will be doing his best work later here. The consistent (8) STORM BROWN is another in the minor money frame.
Selections (5) Orange Garage (4) Wonderful World (7) Doctor Pharoah (11) Sinjin Gangho

Seoul Race 6: Class 4 (1700M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(1) CHOTOMA comes in having been a beaten favourite in a slowly run race at this class over 1800M on February 26th, when he went right back and then ran on but couldn’t get to the winner. With this being run at handicap weights, he is much better in and with Moon Se-young climbing aboard, he is set to be the favourite again here. (8) WOW WOW is rapidly up in class having won his latest two up to 1400M, sitting handy to the speed both times. He comes up in trip too but looks to have scope for more development and can be competitive here. (2) SERVE ACE ran 3rd in the Korean Oaks at Busan last November. She finds herself nicely in at the weights here and from a nice draw can return to form. (6) NONGBON BADA was a winner at this level over 1800M two starts back and then beat a couple of these on his way to 3rd place, again at 1800M, at her latest outing. She can mix her form, but she only comes up 1kg in the weights and can be dangerous. (12) LAST BOSS another in the hunt.
Selections (1) Chotoma (8) Wow Wow (2) Serve Ace (6) Nongbon Bada
Next Best 12, 3
Fast Start 5, 8, 9, 10

Busan Race 4: Class 4 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(2) MILLION BANK is set to be a warm favourite here. She comes in having won at this class over 1200M on February 25th when she overcame gate fourteen to lead all the way around. She comes up 3.5kg in the weights but that is balanced by a much better draw, and she may take some beating again. (13) GOOD TANK beat Million Bank as well as a couple of other of today’s rivals when winning at class and distance on January 28th. She then ran a fair 6th over 1200M a month ago. She does carry 4kg more than that January win but can be a danger here. (5) CLEAR ran 4th behind Million Bank in that February 25th race, sitting just behind the pace throughout. He gets a much better gate this time and at his third start this preparation, may be peaking here. (1) KINGS LANDING and (12) HAEUNDAE BADA are others to consider for the places.
Selections (2) Million Bank (13) Good Tank (5) Clear (1) Kings Landing
Next Best 12, 8
Fast Start 2, 5, 6, 9

Seoul Race 7: Class 4 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

Fillies and mares here. (7) LUMINOUS QUEEN comes back in trip after a couple of fair efforts over 1400M where she hasn’t had the best of the draw. She has a great finish on her though so if she can find a handy position early, she has a big chance. Lots of these raced each other at class and distance on February 12th. (12) WOL YEONG I ran 2nd that day, like today having drawn the outside gate. That came off the back of a good win at this distance at class 5 level. With a little early luck here, she can go very close. (5) OLD BLADE won that February 12th race, coming from well off the pace. That was a big uptick in form, and she didn’t exactly impress in a trial last Friday, but nevertheless warrants some respect here. (6) BEST CHEONSANG was 3rd in that race, her sixth time finishing in that position, and she can place again. (11) JEDI FORCE among others in the frame.
Selections (7) Luminous Queen (12) Wol Yeong I (5) Old Blade (6) Best Cheonsang

Fast Start 1, 3, 6, 12

Busan Race 5: Class 4 (1400M) Allowance / KRW 60 Million

After finishing 5th on debut, (1) DAEHO JEONSEOL has a win, and two runner-up finishes to his name which bring him up in class here. He very nearly made all over 1800M at his latest start and the drop back in trip coupled with the great draw, means that this race should be his to lose. (3) MARK ONE had a hard day at the office at his latest outing on February 11th when drawn wide and scarcely playing a role, although he did run on late. The time before he was a class and distance winner and with a better gate and Kim Hye-sun returning to the ride, he should go much better. (5) BUSAN MISO has the fastest time among any of these at the distance and come sin off back-to-back 3rd 2nd place finishes, both at class and distance and should go close again. (8) CAPTAIN STEALTH and (4) ONE PICK are the logical other choices for the places.
Selections (1) Daeho Jeonseol (3) Mark One (5) Busan Miso (8) Captain Stealth
Next Best 4, 2
Fast Start 1, 2, 4, 5

Seoul Race 8: Class Open (2000M) Sports Chosun Trophy (Listed) Allowance / KRW 200 Million

Absolutely super race this. (5) CHIEF INDY is the favourite and one to beat. He ran 2nd in his only start at this distance in the Group 2 Minister’s Cup last December and then followed it up with a nice win last start at 1800M at class 3 level when he settled handy to the lead and ran on. He is nicely drawn and down in weight. (13) DETERMINATION has shown staying ability and has been most impressive in winning his latest two starts at class 3 level. He does have the challenge of the wide barrier, but he is no stranger to that and could still have more to come. (4) SPOT FLATTER comes in with solid staying form too and was a last start class 3 winner at 1800M in a good time. He is nicely drawn and can settle handy to the lead or midfield. (6) DAEHAN JILJU is another with great staying form and if right will give this a big shake. A mild concern is that 2000M is a big ask for his first run of the year, but his class can see him through. (8) CHOEGANG GAME among plenty of others with at least placing claims.

Busan Race 6: Class 2 (1200M) Allowance / KRW 90 Million

After back-to-back 3rd place finishes, (8) ROCKY SKY comes down a couple of kilograms in the weights today and looks nicely in for a potential win. He has run consistently good times and, in this company, can be leading or handy early. (9) SO MUCH GO ran a creditable 4th over 1400M on his first try at this class on February 25th with a couple of today’s rivals behind him. He is another who doesn’t exactly win out of turn, but he has a strong finish on him and will be coming home well late on. (7) AKER’S DREAM should be better for coming back in trip. He was a class and distance winner three starts back in a fast time coming from off the pace and shouldn’t be ruled out here. Nor too (6) ONNURI JILJU, who had a hard time along with Aker’s Dream at 1400M last time but was a very sharp winner over this distance at class 3 level two starts ago. The wildcard is (10) WONDERFUL MORNING, who last raced in June 2020. He had a fine record before the layoff but didn’t offer too many clues when trialing back in January – he could be anything here.

(7) DONGJIN CHOEGANG is a winner of three races over 1200M but has been running on well and while he finished midfield in the KRA Cup Mile, he returned after a couple of months to finish 2nd at this class and distance on January 29th. He is the one to beat here. (12) M J BEST comes in looking for a hat-trick on wins having scored at 1300M and 1400M in his latest two, the most recent at this class. He can race forward, or midfield and the wide barrier hasn’t been a worry in the past. (1) MYEONGJIN DAY has finished no worse than 4th in seven starts so far and has won at this distance. The set weight scale doesn’t favour him here, but he is too good to dismiss. (8) TIZ BLACK has been consistent at this class and comes off a good 2nd place at this distance after settling handy to the lead. He can go close again today. (4) SECRET BOSS another with good consistency who should be in the placing hunt.

Seoul Race 10: Class 3 (1400M) Allowance / KRW 75 Million

This is an open race but we’re happy to side with (9) ROYAL ELVIS, who will probably be favourite after a good 2nd place at this class and distance on January 1c5th when he raced on the pace and wide from gate thirteen. He can add to his win column today. (3) MUNHAK ENCORE has done most of his recent work over the staying trips, but he does like to be on pace in his races. He has a nice draw to get an easy run early and he can be in the finish. (14) MUNHAK SUN has two wins at 1400M and placed 3rd at this class and distance at his latest start. He tends to get well back in his races anyway so the outside barrier may not be too problematic. (7) THUNDER TIME can have his latest start disregarded as it was his first time at the class and the gate didn’t favour. Instead go on his previous outing when he won well over 1200M at class 4 level when slowly away and running on. (6) GLOBAL SINHWA another in the placing frame.

(2) EOMA EOMA is a star galloper with ten wins to his credit, six of them at 1400M and he is the track record holder. He carries plenty of weight but unlike at this latest start, he is beautifully drawn here and will start a justified favourite. (8) BLACK MUSK faces a huge rise in class here compared with his last start win at this distance, however he is greatly down in weight, and he can run good times. He may be worth a chance at an each-way price. (1) MORFHIS is one of the grand old gentlemen of Seoul Racecourse with seven wins at this distance. He will settle handy to midfield and then power home and from a better draw, can perhaps get a softer run than usual. (9) EAST JET is yet to run further than 1200M and has a pattern of racing on pace. He isn’t favoured by the barrier here but is way too good to be disregarded. (10) LEGEND DAY beat Eoma Eoma in a race blown apart by Raon The Fighter at this distance back in January and while he is less favourably drawn today, he still has next to no weight on his back and could sneak a place again.

Al Cimaglia: Cal Expo Pick 4 Analysis-$25,000 Guaranteed Pool

March 20, 2022 | By Al Cimaglia

Cal Expo wraps up the weekend with an 11-race card. The 0.20 Pick 4 starts in Race 8. The sequence has a $25,000 guaranteed pool with a 16% takeout, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 8

1-Casa Miasa (5/2)-Beat the $4k claimers the last time when drawing the rail and this is a similar bunch. Has one nice move when dialed on high and needs to be in striking range down the lane.
8-Brooklyn Wind Up (5-1)-Team Plano entry is on a heater winning its last 3 starts. Went the back half in 57.2 to beat 3 from this field in last. The winning streak will end at some point but it's risky to leave out versus this crew.

Race 9

2-Hagginatthebeach (5/2)-Took a pocket ride all the way around and got up in time to beat this kind in last. Won't offer much value but could follow the same game plan again.
3-Wizzel Stix (3-1)-Needs a better trip than in last but did finish the mile nicely and will look for better here. Lackey knows this veteran mare and he could provide a sharp steer.
9-Steady Breeze (8/5)-Started inside but was parked before getting the lead after the opening turn. Burned money at 1/2 and will be a better price this time. Roland could leave, duck, and then roll by down the lane.

Race 10

2-Captain Terminator (5/2)-Bumps up after smoking the 2nd half in 55.4 to draw off by >3 lengths. Looks like a main threat and has beaten better than this last month.
3-Mibwest Kid (3-1)-Steps-up after winning for the 4th consecutive time and looks like another win is within reach with a fair trip.
5-Pancetta (4-1)-This 13-year-old beat much easier in last and it's best to not dismiss here. Winner of over $515,000 doesn't win very often these days but can stay good for another big try.

Race 11

5-Contemporay Legend (2-1)-Tried to wire better in last and that didn't work. Drops to a more comfortable spot and may look to race close to the top but not on the point. Kennedy sticks and may have found a beatable field.
7-Howtotrainurdragon (9/2)-Looking for a solid price and will hope Campbell can provide a decent steer. Lightly raced 10-year-old does have the speed to win and comes off a solid try.

Jeff Siegel's Santa Anita Analysis/Wagering Strategies - 3/20/22

March 20, 2022

“What You Need to Know” - Santa Anita
By Jeff Siegel, Handicapper & Analyst


Specifically designed for the rolling exotic player, Jeff Siegel’s Daily Santa Anita Handicapping Analysis, Wagering Strategies, Workout Commentary, and True Odds Calculations (“TOC”) identify those horses that should be included in daily doubles, pick-3s, pick-4s, pick-5s, and the pick-6.
*
The “TOC” quantifies the findings of a personal thoroughbred analytics program that contains in its database the results of every race contested at Santa Anita since 2004. More than 75 critical factors in the fields of class, distance, surface, age, and sex have created 227 algorithms that are highly specific to the race being handicapped. The result is a probability line that reflects each contender’s true odds based on a pure 100-point takeout.

The “TOC” applies its mathematical formula only to non-maiden races and displays a maximum of four runners considered the most likely contenders to win. Also listed is the specific algorithm’s sample size plus the top-rated horse’s win percentage and return on investment (ROI). It is suggested that the player utilize the program’s findings to compare each contender’s “true odds” with the morning line and/or actual wagering odds to identify potential overlays and underlays.

Also-eligible runners are not included in any of the calculations until verified as actual starters. When possible, adjustments to the “TOC” will be updated after late scratches.

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: 1:00 PT Grade: B
Use (in order of preference): 4-Barrister’s Ride; 7-She;’s a Bit Sassy

Forecast: Barrister’s Ride was given an educational run sprinting in her debut last month and should benefit greatly from the experience. The daughter of Clubhouse Ride was off slowly and allowed to settle, picked it outside entering the turn and then stayed on nicely through the lane to finish sixth (beaten seven lengths) before galloping out with good energy. In an unusually strong race that already has proven to be productive. She stretches out to nine furlongs today in a below average race for Cal-breds, so while we would have preferred to have seen another race going short before trying two turns, the C. Gaines-trained filly may have enough natural talent to win, anyway. She is listed at 6-1 on the morning line, and at that price might be worth a bit of a gamble. She’s a Bit Sassy established the pace but was worn down late when finishing a solid runner-up at this level over a mile while earning an okay number last time out in her fourth career start. Similar front running tactics are likely to be employed, and if she can clear without pressure the daughter of Mr. Big could take this field a very long way. We’ll prefer the filly with the higher upside – Barrister’s Ride – on top but include both in our rolling exotics.

RACE 2: Post: 1:32 PT Grade: B
Use (in order of preference): 3-Storminside; 6-Speed Pass

Forecast: Storminside (TOC=3/5; ML=6/5) is a tough old pro with 21 first or second place finishes from 47 career starts and with recent speed figures that make him the one to beat in this abbreviated dash for $10,000 older claimers. Likely to be the controlling speed, the J. Wong-trained gelding gets a weight break with the switch to bug boy D. Herrera and under these conditions should be tough to catch. Speed Pass (TOC=2-1; ML=9/5) projects to draft into an ideal stalking position outside and have dead aim and every chance from the quarter pole home. A confidence-building win at Los Alamitos in a mixed-breed race last month should serve him well, and the ex-classer, who was graded stakes placed in New York just over a year ago, could climb back up the ladder based on his recent Orange County form. Both should be used in rolling exotic play with preference on top to Storminside.


__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 3: Post: 2:05 PT Grade: X
Single: 6-Bye Bye Bertie

Forecast: Bye Bye Bertie (TOC=3/5; ML=8/5) just won a similar starter’s allowance turf affair for fillies and mares over a nine furlongs in dominating fashion and should be capable of winning right back despite today’s longer mile and one-quarter trip. She’s genuine, versatile, and capable of winning on the lead as the controlling speed or by rallying from off the pace, so regular jockey V. Espinoza can assess the early pace flow and then pick a suitable strategy. A winner of 10 races from 22 starts, the daughter of Alternation is listed as the 8/5 morning line favorite but seems certain to go lower in a race that offers no solid second choice, so we’ll make her a logical short-priced, rolling exotic single but otherwise pass the race.


__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 4: Post: 2:35 PT Grade: B-
Use: 2-Red Panty Night; 3-Marie

Forecast: Marie (TOC=4/5; ML=8/5) returned off a long layoff to toy with a modest bottom-rung field of maiden fillies and mares last month and today goes from J. Sadler to G. Pappaprodromou following a $20,000 claim. The five year old daughter of Blame obviously has her issues, and with her new connections raising her just one level in class (and clearly not caring if they lose her), her current conditions must be considered suspect. That said, if she has at least one good one left, she could easily win right back. Red Panty Night (TOC=4-1; ML=5/2) is the one to fear most. Arguably a tad quicker early than Marie, she earned a speed figure two races back that is better that was Marie achieved in her score, and with two easy breezes since raced, the K. Mulhall-trained filly might be a little easier to trust. We’ll try to get by using just these two in rolling exotic play, with a very slight edge on top to Red Panty Night.

RACE 5: Post: 3:08 PT Grade: B-
Use (in order of preference): 1-Mubtadaa; 8-Trainer Please; 5-Famous Star; 6-Take Action

Forecast: The first leg of the late Pick-4 is a wide-open turf sprint for older maidens that requires as much coverage as you can afford. We’ll go four deep and hope that’s enough. Mubtadaa makes his California debut for red-hot trainer V. Cerin as a first-time gelding, and recent workouts indicate he’s fit for a good try off a six month layoff. The son of War Front earned speed figures in New York that make him a major player against this group for a barn that has superior stats with layoff runners, and if he breaks running from the rail, he should find himself on or near the lead throughout. Trainer Please can dish out early heat and has finished in the frame in four of five career starts, but he’s yet to show any ability to finish under pressure, losing ground from the furlong pole to the wire in each of his five career starts. This will be his third start off a layoff, so perhaps the son of Orb can move forward just a bit. Famous Star has trained okay for J. Sadler (a solid 21% with debut runners) and has trained like he’s fit enough to produce a good effort first crack out of the box. We doubt he’s a world beater but won’t have to be against this ground, and he’s sure to get plenty of play with F. Prat taking the call. Take Action is another that has shown a bit of ability in the a.m. and is bred for grass on both sides of his pedigree. At 6-1 on the morning line, he’s worth tossing in somewhere.

Notable Workouts:

Mubtadaa (February 14, Santa Anita, 4f, :49.3h TT). Grade: B-
Caught a glimpse of this gelding in a training track breeze last month with Farquhar (same time) for new trainer V. Cerin, and the son of War Front looked quite sharp and eager while coming the final quarter of a mile in :24.4 under a hammerlock. Eastern invader has been gelded since arriving in the West and could easily be a better type on this circuit. Numbers are decent and he’s still eligible to face maidens for a hot trainer.
View Workout Video

Naismith (March 11, Santa Anita, 6f, 1:13.4h). Grade: C+
See Take Action (below)
View Workout Video

Famous Star (March 12, Santa Anita, 5f, :59.4h). Grade: B
Worked inside maiden claimer Wall Street Trader (same time) for J. Sadler and was ridden through the lane to prove slightly best with splits from the half mile pole to the wire in :23 flat and :47.4, solid drill. By Frosted from a Kitten’s Joy mare, he’s bred to handle any surface and seems pretty fit. Okay type, maybe.
View Workout Video

Take Action (March 11, Santa Anita, 6f, 1:13.4h). Grade: B-
In blinkers, worked inside Naismith (same time) and was clearly best through the lane, finishing almost a length in front at the wire while coming the final half mile in :23.1 and :47.4 on our watches under hand urging. Has a bit of run, might want to see one first, workmate was urged hard and lost his steam in the final furlong.
View Workout Video

The Giants Candy (March 7, Santa Anita, 4f, :47.3hg). Grade: B-
Solo half mile gate work for R. McAnally, splits of :24.1, :35.3, and :47.4 on our watches, ridden some most of the way, okay drill for 4-year-old son of Twirling Candy. Has some ability but may need a race or two for experience.

RACE 6: Post: 3:39 PT Grade: B-
Use (in order of preference): 4-Boisterously Irish; 1-Machtenhaironfire

Forecast: We’ll try to survive and advance using just two in this bottom-rung maiden claiming sprint for older fillies and mares. The first-timer Boisterously Irish has shown enough in the morning to indicate some ability, and a little certainly will go a long way against this group. The barn has solid numbers with debut runners, and with F. Prat taking the call, the S. Miyadi-trained 4-year-old looks very much like a live item. Machtenhaironfire made a right hand turn leaving the gate to fall far back and then closed a considerable amount of ground when a no threat sixth in her debut at Turf Paradise last month. She has some ability and seems certain to improve with that bit of experience behind her. How she’ll react to her rail post position today is anybody’s guess, but at 6-1 on the morning line in a very soft spot she’s worth using somewhere on your ticket.

Notable Workouts:

Boisterously Irish (March 17, Santa Anita, 4f, :48.4hg). Grade: B-
Solo gate drill for S. Miyadi, splits of :24.1, :36 flat and :48.4, asked from the gate during the opening furlong before being taken in hand and allowed to coast the rest of the way, not bad for a bottom-rung maiden claiming type. Four-year-old filly should make her debut in a soft spot and will be worth a look.
View Workout Video

RACE 7: Post: 4:12 PT Grade: B+
Use (in order of preference): 2-Brickyard Ride; 1-Indian Peak

Forecast: Brickyard Ride (TOC=4/5; ML=8/5) can be effective on any surface up to a mile but this will be his first start down the Hillside Course, so we’re not completely sure if his blazing, runaway speed will be impacted under these unique conditions. But there is simply nothing in here that can run with him early. Indian Peak, (TOC=2-1; ML=5/2) a willing second over this course and distance in the San Simeon S.-G3 last month and a stakes winner down the hill in 2021, looks like the most dangerous of the late-runners. If the race shape plays in his favor, he’ll make some noise late.


__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 8: Post: 4:44 PT Grade: B-
Use (in order of preference): 3-Rocking Redhead; 7-Moraz; 11-Stella Noir

Forecast: The nightcap is a highly-contentious grass event for entry-level allowance fillies and mares. Who in this field doesn’t have at least some kind of look? Rocking Redhead (TOC=6-1; ML=6-1) returned off a nine month layoff to run third in a sharp performance at this level over a mile and today stretches out to a nine furlongs, the distance of her maiden win more than a year ago. Most comfortable as the controlling speed, the lightly-raced daughter of Hard Spun may be able to secure that trip, though there are other potential speed types (specifically Park Avenue) that could press her early. Moraz, (TOC=7/2; ML=4-1) second in the same race ‘Redhead just finished third in, figures in the fray once again. While she has shown good early speed in the past, the daughter of Empire Maker might respond better to the patient tactics she received last time out. She gets a nice weight break with the switch to bug rider D. Herrera and may be the one to fear most. Stella Noir (TOC=2-1; ML=6-1) shows the sprint-to-route angle and a good closing style that makes her a “must use” in rolling exotic play. She could very well be just a late-running sprinter – her one prior route try, she showed early speed but readily faded - but of taken back, given some cover and then produced late, the daughter of Stay Thirsty may be a factor close home.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Fair Grounds - Race #6
Picks Notes
#3 Quest for Avette Think he's worth a little look at a price as he rises in class off the easy score with claiming company, but this is the time of season when these risers can fit pretty well, and he has some back turf form to suggest he'll handle the footing here.
#2 Chimney Rock He's the clear one to beat with plenty of back class before coming to face LA-breds, and he has been in with better groups in those recent starts. Thinking he can wake up here, but I wouldn't want the likely short price.
#9 Apache Tears He just beat open company to land the maiden win at this trip, and and I love how he kicked away in the lane. He can land the right kind of trip while tracking the splits from the outside.
Race Summary Quest for Avette has run well enough on the turf in the past, and she rises here off a commanding performance against a softer group. She's likely to be in the mix throughout.

Fair Grounds - Race #8
Picks Notes
#3 Fed Money He has some finishing ability in a race where a few of them want to be in the mix early on, and he steps up off the nice effort last time out. Settle and finish trip today?
#4 California Holiday He showed some front-end speed to wire that maiden group last time out, and he's bred to be okay on the turf, so we may not have seen his best stuff yet. Forward threat, especially if he can rate while routing.
#7 Arabian Prince His form can be inconsistent, so I'm a bit concerned that he's not going to back up that good effort from his last race, but he liked this nine-furlong trip that day and might get another good run tracking the splits today.
Race Summary Fed Money can settle just off the speed and let things unfold, and something like his most recent effort at least keeps him in the frame with these at a mid-range price.

Fair Grounds - Race #9
Picks Notes
#1 Anyotherquestions Price swing in the finale with this guy who has been well beaten in all three career tries, but he showed the smallest hints of life last time out when tracking a sprint pace before fading less than he did in his first two starts. There isn't much pace in here around two turns -- why not go for it from the fence?
#12 Draft Choice He's another who can be forwardly placed while getting around two turns, but he might have to hustle a bit for position from this high draw, and that can be tough to overcome at this sometimes tricky trip.
#7 Soulology He turned in a big rally in the debut try around two turns at Delta, but that kind of finishing trip doesn't always transfer when they show up here. Capable, but I'd want a fair price.
Race Summary Anyotherquestions is not meeting much pace at all in here, and he was at least quick enough to track a one-turn pace in that last start. Would love to see him sent for the lead with a cheap bunch chasing him around.

Race 5 is an $80,000 event covering 7 furlongs on the dirt. Howe Street and Efficiency should be involved for the win.

Howe Street is making his debut and is expected to show up well on Sunday. The colt hasn’t made an appearance so far, but this looks like a good spot.

His workouts have been promising and a solid first-run is expected for the Jorge Abreu trainee. However, Efficiency will provide a big challenge in this one.

Efficiency could be too tough for this field. The Chad Brown trainee is expected to do well and ultimately appear in stakes races.

He’s a $290,000 purchase and has been running well in workouts. Efficiency is coming off his best workout thus far, with a time of 48.06 seconds at 4 furlongs on March 11.

Three of his previous four workouts have been clocked under 50 seconds on the dirt. Under his current form, the gelding is going to be good in his debut.

Race 6 is a 7-furlong event for an $80,000 purse on the dirt. Check That Chip is winless in two outings, but showed improvement on February 3.

He ran 7th on December 30 in his first race for an $80,000 purse. Then in his next performance, did better to place 2nd behind Our Shot by 4 ¼ lengths in an $80,000 event.

Awesome Aaron is 5th, 2nd in his career going into Sunday. He finished 5th in his first race for an $80,000 purse, then followed up for better on February 24.

The colt placed 2nd behind South Street by a head for an $80,000 prize. That was noted improvement and this track should prove well for him today.

Expect Awesome Aaron to continue getting better on Sunday. He looks like a tough horse to beat Sunday afternoon.

Post Time: 5:32 p.m. EST
Distance:1 Mile
Purse:$100,000

The $100,000 Haynesfield Stakes is the co-feature stakes race in the US on Sunday. Lobsta and My Boy Tate are in good form going into this one.

Lobsta is 3rd, 3rd, 1st, 1st in four events going into today. The colt is coming off back-to-back wins in the $150,000 New York Stallion Series Stakes on December 5 and $100,000 Say Florida Sandy Stakes on January 8.

It’s hard to ignore Lobsta in this one. His form suggests that he’s going to be a competitive horse on Sunday. The biggest challenger for Lobsta has to be My Boy Tate.

My Boy Tate is 11 for 31 is 1st, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 2nd in his previous four attempts. In his latest outing, he placed 2nd behind Wudda U Think Now by 4 ¼ lengths for $100,000 in the Hollie Hughes Stakes.

My Boy Tate won the Say Florida Sandy over Lobsta by a neck, but dropped to 4th after a DQ. Without that decision, My Boy Tate is top-2 in seven straight appearances.

The thought of My Boy Tate winning looks promising in Race 9.
