Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Presque Isle Downs - Race #3

#1 Real Good Vybz	She has already had her share of chances, but she has some occasional ability to finish just a bit, and that might serve her well while dropping in class off a couple better-than-expected efforts with special weight groups.
#4 Magic Life	She's probably supposed to win this on form, but I have a couple questions -- she was well meant enough along the way to get Jose Ortiz into the saddle here a couple times, and she didn't run all that badly when showing pace last time out. She made a lot of sense with these running lines when entered for a special weight spot the other day, but now she's up for sale for $15,000 today instead. Fair to think she might drill these, but also fair to wonder if the signs say maybe she's not heading in the right direction.
#3 Some Kind of Crazy	She's the proven form at the level with a couple of trifecta finishes to her name so far, and her rider might have a couple options out of the gate as they try to figure out her running style.
Race Summary	Real Good Vybz might be the right one to try to beat Magic Life, who figures to take some cash while waving a couple red flags on the drop. 'Vybz might really like this local level.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #6

#1 Disaster Recovery	Willing to take a little swing with this second timer in a race where his only serious battle for the lead might come from the guy he chased last out. Maybe this one is a bit tighter and has a run for it while breaking from the fence with Lasix today?
#6 Truckin Tommy	He showed the way early in the same common race as the top choice last out, and that gives him the same sort of pace-playing upside that the top choice has.
#8 Rainbow's Pride	Think he, #9 I Don't See Colors, and #5 I Strong all have similar claims on this whole thing, but they all have the kind of style that could leave them vulnerable to coming alive just a touch too late if the pace doesn't overheat.
Race Summary	Disaster Recovery and Truckin Tommy might have the very front to themselves in here, and I think the former has a little appeal while breaking from the inside with Lasix today. Had a tough time with this one -- feels competitive.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #7

#4 Paynted Warrior	Think he's a pretty strong anchor for multi-race plays later in the day, as he's got good recent form and owns some pace in a race where that seems to be at a bit of a premium. Think he'll shake free from the guy drawn outside. Tough here.
#1 Grey Charmer	Nothing wrong with his form so far over this surface, and he has enough tactical speed to avoid getting totally outrun behind a potentially modest pace. Logical alternative.
#6 Housebuilder	Dropper landed a small piece when fourth in stakes company off the claim last time out, and he seems like a decent fit for a big piece of this. Slight worry the race won't come back to him enough to land it...
Race Summary	Paynted Warrior has the kind of prompting pace that should have him right in the mix early in a race lacking serious speed, and I'll rely on him to get the job done here with a good race flow.

Penn National - Race #1

#2 BIG BROWN SHOES (7-2)	Succumbed to duel in latest but has held top form for these connections.
#3 ZOOMSTER (12-1)	Romped in last pair on main track, steps up, worth using in all gimmicks.
#1 ASLUCKWOULDHAVEIT (5-2)	Dueled with 9-1 winner, held second, worked :46 bullet since.
Race Summary	BIG BROWN SHOES won 3 of his last 5 sprints at Parx after a 0-for-10 start to his career. He’s used to dueling on the front end and he did show a passing gear when he won at 7F. Bet to win and place and play a 1-2-3 exacta box.

Penn National - Race #3

#2 ELEVENMONTHSLATER (5-1)	Takes magnified class drop for third start on the lawn, good value play.
#4 RAHMADHAAN (2-1)	Winless on turf and idle since May 2 claim, but barn gets ‘em ready.
#1 BLUEBERRY PIE (5-2)	Tipped 3-wide for stretch drive but couldn’t gain on Pimlico lawn.
Race Summary	ELEVENMONTHSLATER broke her maiden going a route of ground, runs for the cheapest tag of her career and met the likes of repeat winner Neecie Marie and 1-to-2 fave Charmed Way on the turf. Bet to win and place.

Penn National - Race #6

#5 GRAB THE GOLD (9-2)	Turf upsetter has six wins and $128k in dirt earnings over track.
#4 ANNAMATED MOON (6-1)	Failed at odds-on in repeat bid, steps up for new barn.
#7 GRAND WISER (2-1)	Shortens up, faces tougher in bid for fifth win in a row.
Race Summary	GRAB THE GOLD sustained a 4- to 6-wide bid on the turn and withstood an objection claim by the connections of the race favorite to spring a 16-1 upset on the turf. He’s more proven on the Penn National main track and handles his once-a-month race schedule well. Bet to win and place.

Race 1 - Claiming - 6.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $14000 Class Rating: 76

FOR MN-BRED THREE YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NEVER WON TWO RACES. THREE YEAR OLDS, 119 LBS.; OLDER, 124 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $25,000.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 4 WITHSTANDTHESTORM 3/1
# 2 BURNING LEAVES 5/2
# 7 COLOR ME LEGENDARY 7/2

I like WITHSTANDTHESTORM here. Lately Wade has been scorching which may give the edge to this gelding. Wade has one of the best jockey ROI's on the grounds, returning to gamblers +19 percent. I expect a strong performance from this equine whose conditioner has one of the top return on investment percentages with horses running at this distance and surface. BURNING LEAVES - Is difficult not to examine based on speed figures which have been quite good - 71 avg - of late. Berndt has a sound 26 percent win rate with entries running at this distance and surface. COLOR ME LEGENDARY - The speed rating of 76 from his most recent affair looks respectable in here. Looks to have a quite good class edge based on the recent company kept.

PURCHASE

Penn National - Race #2 - Post: 6:29pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $18,100 Class Rating: 66

Rating:

#6 WARRIOR'S CAUSE (ML=3/1)
#2 ONE TRUTH (ML=15/1)


WARRIOR'S CAUSE - This horse coming off a solid race in the last 30 days is a contender in my book. This gelding should be in fine form, this far into his form cycle. ONE TRUTH - Likes to go to the lead and the fact that today is a shorter distance should be advantageous. Going on Lasix for the first time. While a well known handicapping angle, it's still quite important to factor in.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 RUNAHOLIC (ML=7/5), #4 BLAME B B (ML=9/2), #3 HARBOR OF GOLD (ML=5/1),

RUNAHOLIC - I don't normally play a morning-line favorite that hasn't been to the track in the last 3 weeks. BLAME B B - Should have at least finished in the money in the last couple months in a sprint contest to be worth a shot at low odds in a sprint. This thoroughbred just hasn't looked sharp recently. HARBOR OF GOLD - Not a good 'situation' in this affair.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#6 WARRIOR'S CAUSE to win at post-time odds of 7/5 or better
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [2,6]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	None
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	Skip

Race 5 - Claiming - 6.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $15000 Class Rating: 78

FOR REGISTERED INDIANA BREDS FILLIES AND MARES THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 120 LBS.; OLDER, 124 LBS. NON-WINNERS OF A RACE SINCE JUNE 12 ALLOWED 2 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $6,250

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 6 BETCHA 8/1
# 10 ROYAL TO BE 6/1
# 7 MI ESTRELLA 12/1

BETCHA is the top wager in this race and could score at a price in here. Will most likely come out sharp - I have liked the way this mare has moved promptly to the front end recently. She has to be carefully examined given the very good speed figures. Conditioner has strong win rate (18 percent) at this distance and surface. ROYAL TO BE - Will almost certainly come out sharp - I have liked the way this mare has moved promptly to the lead recently. Could beat this field given the 72 Equibase speed fig garnered in her last outing.

PURCHASE

Hawthorne - Race #4 - Post: 3:51pm - Maiden Claiming - 8.3 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $15,500 Class Rating: 73

Rating:

#1 GHOST BIKE (ML=3/1)
#3 GOLD SMOKE (ML=8/1)


GHOST BIKE - For my money, a bullet workout is the best indicator of fitness there is. Look at that last one - 36.6. Very impressive. He has the highest EPS (earnings per start). Check out this horse. GOLD SMOKE - Have to forget about that last grass race. This gelding should do better hitting the dirt in this race.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 LARRY THE POET (ML=4/5), #2 ARMAVIR (ML=5/1),

LARRY THE POET - This morning-line choice may be out of form without any recent works. Difficult to invest in at 4/5 odds after the last two showings. Registered a somewhat easily forgotten speed rating in the last race in a Maiden Special race on June 15th. Unlikely to see an improved performance off of that number. ARMAVIR - This horse just hasn't looked fit recently.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Put your money on #1 GHOST BIKE on the nose if you can get odds of 5/2 or more
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [1,3]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Pass
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	Skip
