Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Presque Isle Downs - Race #1

#6 Brooklyn Girlee	Think she has some appeal in the local debut after bouncing back last out off the modest Saratoga run. She's probably fast enough to keep in the frame early from out here and makes a lot of sense.
#2 No Tappin Out	Think he has a right to be tough in here while racing off the bench, as that Turfway Park debut back in January was pretty solid when he ran on late to land second. Threat, especially if a couple of the potential forward players keep things honest up top.
#4 Accept the Outcome	She's another one with a claim on this in what feels like a pretty tough little spot for the local level. She rallied well on the turf last out but has also shown some ability from closer to the pace, and that versatility gives her rider some options to adapt as this unfolds.
Race Summary	Brooklyn Girlee might be a decent fit with these and has the right kind of style to find a favorable trip from the wide draw. Hoping the presence of a few interesting players on paper will keep the price playable.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #6

#6 Beryl Racer	She should appreciate the move away from Kentucky Downs and the class relief while in for a tag for the first time, and she has at least shown some ability to get past horses which makes her really dangerous in a race full of runners who stop late.
#3 Two Hearted	She got a trip to Kentucky out of a couple decent efforts here to start her career, and I think the Matejka barn probably has this one locked down with one of these top two.
#8 Warrior Bernice	Get a look at her on the track and tote, as she's not meeting a whole lot in this debut run and wouldn't need a huge effort to make some noise or even land this. Wouldn't surprise.
Race Summary	Beryl Racer's two-back start is the key here for me, as she draws outside of a bunch of horses who have shown little interest in kicking home late, and I think a well-timed finishing move gets her home. If not, her more tactical stablemate Two Hearted makes a lot of sense, too.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #7

#2 Digital Footprint	Think he's got just enough positional pace to settle off the few forward players today while still getting the jump on a couple of really logical finishers. Could see the price being fair enough.
#1 Guaco	I think he's supposed to win this on paper after having his three-race winning streak broken last out, and he definitely benefits if the more committed pace players all show up a bit.
#6 Fuel the Bern	He steps up after handling cheaper in both of those last two, but he was gifted the lead last out and probably has some company today. Not impossible while in good form, but I'm not sure I take his last at full face value.
Race Summary	Wasn't quite sure where #8 County Court fits in here, but he probably belongs on any wider tickets. Digital Footprint has some midrange price appeal with a lot of one-paced kind of finishing efforts on his page -- that sounds bad, but I think that kind of style might land him a pretty dreamy run of the race here.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Remington Park - Race #1

#6 DRIFTING WEST (9-2)	Figures tough on best, but last two Remington starts weren’t among them.
#1 ROYALLY (5-1)	Steady check getter can make good use of his speed from the rail in this spot.
#5 FOREVAMO (4-1)	Rallied for minor awards in last four starts but remained winless since 2021.
Race Summary	DRIFTING WEST finished second in four of his last eight starts on dirt with at least a month off between starts. He drops in class off a dull try at Remington but still looms a major threat at a proven distance. Bet to win and place and play a 1-5-6 exacta box.

Remington Park - Race #2

#5 FULLY FUNDED (12-1)	Live price play in pace-less race; dam excelled on the grass.
#6 GRACE’S HANK (4-1)	Followed move on winning fave, ran third in crowded debut.
#9 ILLUSTRATOR (5-1)	Draws outside for high-percentage first-out barn, watch odds.
Race Summary	FULLY FUNDED was unhurried in a well-bet debut sprint on the main track but could be forwardly placed a long way on the stretch-out in distance and switch to the turf. His dam, Exchange Funds, won three times – including a stakes race – on the Belmont Park lawn. Bet to win and place and play a 5,6/5,6,9/ALL trifecta.

Remington Park - Race #8

#1 BECKY’S TATOO (8-1)	Regained winning confidence in first main-track start for barn, now 5-13 on dirt.
#7 SUPER WONDER GIRL (5-2)	Won at Oaklawn, Churchill and Ellis to top $200k in 6F earnings.
#5 ROSY EDGE (5-1)	Idle two months since Diodoro claim, broke maiden at Santa Anita.
Race Summary	BECKY’S TATOO changed tactics on the class drop and responded with a 5-length, wire-to-wire victory at today’s distance. The race timed faster than a nw/3 allowance for Oklahoma breds on the same card. The price is right for a win and place bet.

Race 4 - Allowance - 870y on the Dirt. Purse: $20000 Class Rating: 93

QUARTER HORSE 870Y, FOR THREE YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 125 LBS.; OLDER, 128 LBS. TOTAL EARNINGS 2022/2023 PREFERRED.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 EYE WILL DECIDE 9/5
# 4 THE KINGS HORSE 5/1
# 5 WL MYLIPSHURTREALBAD 4/1

EYE WILL DECIDE is the best wager in this race. Guzman has a solid 25 percent win rate with entries running at this distance and surface. Looks strong versus this group of animals and ought to be one of the front-runners. Should expect a formidable attempt with the class drop. THE KINGS HORSE - He has garnered formidable figures under today's conditions and will almost certainly fare well versus this field. Garnered a very good speed fig last time out. WL MYLIPSHURTREALBAD - Could beat this field given the 87 Equibase Speed Figure recorded in his last outing. Has been constatntly running well as of late.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #6 - Post: 5:15pm - Maiden Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $17,000 Class Rating: 71

Rating:

#3 TWO HEARTED (ML=6/1)
#8 WARRIOR BERNICE (ML=7/2)
#6 BERYL RACER (ML=4/1)


TWO HEARTED - Great chance for this racer. Big late speed and should have good position. The morning line odds on this filly are higher than those of the other entrant from the shedrow of handler Matejka. Often the longer-priced part of a 'split' entry wins. This filly is tops in EPS (earnings per start). Check out this thoroughbred in the post parade. WARRIOR BERNICE - This jock and handler's horses have been generating a lucrative ROI. It don't take a university education like someone like my buddy Brain has to figure this one out. We have a first timer with a trainer (Girten) who is wonderful taking horses out for the first time. First-timer has works over the Presque Isle Downs strip, which is always a plus. BERYL RACER - Filly is a few starts into a return to racing here. Should give a good performance today. Just look at her recent speed rating, 58. That one fits well in this group. Maiden is switching to the dirt, and may not have liked the turf last out. Has a good chance to break maiden.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 HOT MOCHA (ML=9/2), #4 Z INDY LINDY (ML=5/1), #1 NOW I'M HERE (ML=8/1),

Z INDY LINDY - This horse hasn't been in the money in either of her last two races around the track. Finished seventh in her most recent performance with a mediocre speed fig. When I look at today's class figure, it would take an improved performance to triumph after that in this field. NOW I'M HERE - Couldn't close ground at all on September 10th. Hard to wager on this time at the expected odds.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Play #3 TWO HEARTED to win if you can get odds of 2/1 or more
EXACTA WAGERS:	3 with [6,8]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Box [3,6,8] Total Cost: $6

Thistledown - Race #3 - Post: 1:50pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $17,400 Class Rating: 51

Rating:

#3 FAST AS FAST CAN B (ML=8/1)
#5 YOU'RE OUT (ML=4/1)


FAST AS FAST CAN B - This horse could be tough this race, especially since Halledeen rode in the last race and now should be acquainted with this one. As the only speedball in the race, I expect this gelding to be long gone. This entrant brings in a lot of money per race. I believe he can increase that total in today's race. YOU'RE OUT - Faced tougher last out at Thistledown. Based on class figures, this is a weaker field, so I will put this one on my list of contenders. Look for this gelding to show better in today's race. Last race at Thistledown finishing fourth on a track listed as good is no indication of his true talent.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 AFLEET O ME (ML=2/1), #6 KETTLE KING (ML=3/1), #1 CANTRUNWITHBIGDOGS (ML=5/1),

AFLEET O ME - I cannot play this frequent non-winner. Gets the assignment fulfilled once in a while. KETTLE KING - No victories for this racer at Thistledown. CANTRUNWITHBIGDOGS - Hard to put any money on this gelding on the win end. Likes to land in the money though. A bit of a lackluster effort when this gelding finished fifth. This racer ran a mediocre speed fig in the last race. He shouldn't run better and will likely suffer defeat today running that figure.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - FAST AS FAST CAN B - I play this angle all the time. Top Power Rating and morning line odds of at least 5/1.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Have to go with #3 FAST AS FAST CAN B on the win end if we get at least 9/5 odds
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [3,5]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	None

Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight - 8.5f on the Dirt. Purse: $90000 Class Rating: 93

OUTER TURF FOR MAIDENS, THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 120 LBS.; OLDER, 124 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 SACRED RHYME 7/2
# 7 RIGHT TO WIN (IRE) 9/5
# 9 QUALITY CHIC 4/5

SACRED RHYME has a quite good shot to take this race. Reason to like this colt as he has in the saddle one of the best jocks using winning percentages over the last 30 days. Put up a competitive speed rating last time out. May best this group here, showing very good figures of late. RIGHT TO WIN (IRE) - He should be given a chance given the competitive speed figures. Always tough to beat Brown and Prat working together, winning 19 percent of their races. QUALITY CHIC - The speed fig of 94 from his latest contest looks solid in here.

Charles Town - Race #4 - Post: 8:25pm - Allowance - 6.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $29,400 Class Rating: 86

Rating:

#4 BOSS E BOOGS (ML=5/1)
#5 MARCHED (ML=12/1)


BOSS E BOOGS - This horse fits one of my favorite angles. A thoroughbred that has a gate work since his last race and gets blinkers on for today's race. That signals to me that the connections are looking for improvement. My pals and I have made dough playing ponies with this type of pace. Follow my advice and do the same.MARCHED - He must like the track here. He just won over the track after shipping in. A win percentage like 33 is tremendous for any jockey/handler pair. Have to make this gelding a contender; he comes off a solid contest on September 15th.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 JUBA'S HAT TRICK (ML=8/5), #2 PAYMENGOLD (ML=2/1), #6 LORD OF CORK (ML=9/2),

JUBA'S HAT TRICK - 8/5 is not priced right for any entrant in a sprint of 6 1/2 furlongs that hasn't finished in the money in a short distance race recently.PAYMENGOLD - Can't really be sure that the recent speed rating of 82 is true since it was garnered on an off track. LORD OF CORK - Didn't look so hot last time. Probably won't make an impact in today's race.

GUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - BOSS E BOOGS - On a tight track, my statistics say the advantage goes to the early pace setter in posts 1 thru 4. That's the situation we have here, so take a good look at this gelding.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Play #4 BOSS E BOOGS to win if you can get odds of 9/5 or more
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [4,5]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	None

Race 3 - Claiming - 6.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $17400 Class Rating: 51

FOR REGISTERED OHIO FOALS THREE YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NEVER WON TWO RACES. THREE YEAR OLDS, 119 LBS.; OLDER, 123 LBS. NON-WINNERS OF A RACE SINCE AUGUST 28 ALLOWED 2 LBS. A RACE SINCE JULY 28 ALLOWED 4 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $7,500.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 3 FAST AS FAST CAN B 8/1
# 1 CANTRUNWITHBIGDOGS 5/1
# 4 AFLEET O ME 2/1

I lean toward FAST AS FAST CAN B for this event and the potential return justifies the dangerous nature of the long odds. Recently Halledeen has been scorching which may give the edge to this gelding. I like Halledeen on this gelding to give him a formidable chance to hit the wire first. Have to sense that this entrant will do well following the quick turnaround. CANTRUNWITHBIGDOGS - The winning percentage shown by horses entered by Radosevich running at this distance are the best in this group. Recent figures for the rider - 17 win percent - make this gelding stand out in this group of horses. AFLEET O ME - When a trainer brings any equine back this soon it is a positive sign. Could beat this group given the 57 Equibase speed fig earned in his last outing.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 5 WILMA MY LOVE 10/1
# 2 ABUELA CUCA 5/1
# 9 CORPULENTA 4/1

WILMA MY LOVE has a decent shot to take this contest and the potential return justifies the unsafe nature of the long odds. Ramos has her trained soundly to break promptly out of the gate. The class figure of today's race is much lower than her last contest. Ramos has a solid 33 percent win rate with entries running at this distance and surface. ABUELA CUCA - Look for a much stronger effort with the drop. Her earnings per start in dirt sprint contests alone makes you take a look at her. CORPULENTA - This filly has some longshot handicapping angles I like to play. Her chances to prove victorious are much better today facing this easier group.

Rating:

#4 ARDEN'S ASSAULT (ML=5/1)
#5 JACKIE'S SPIRIT (ML=2/1)
#1 ATHENAIS (ML=5/2)


ARDEN'S ASSAULT - Faced tougher last time out at Kentucky Downs. Based on class figures, this is a weaker bunch, so I will put this horse on my list of strong contenders. This horse picks up a lot of dough per race around the track. Number one in this race. JACKIE'S SPIRIT - This jockey/trainer duo has been producing a high winning percent, right around 33. ATHENAIS - This jockey and handler's animals have been generating a lucrative ROI.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 SUMMER OF MISCHIEF (ML=4/1), #7 FAST GAL (ML=6/1),

SUMMER OF MISCHIEF - Just cannot play this vulnerable equine. Didn't show me anything in the last race or on November 25th. This horse doesn't have a winning temperament. Always finishes close, but no cigar. FAST GAL - 6/1 is not worth the risk for any horse in a sprint of 7 furlongs that hasn't finished in the money in a short distance event lately.
