Frank Carulli's Daily Picks
Delta Downs - Race #2
Delta Downs - Race #3
Delta Downs - Race #5
Delta Downs - Race #2
| #8 THROWIN SHADE (5-2) | Useful return, has done best running in long sprints, meets solid nw/3 field. |
| #6 RISKY PRIORITY (8-1) | Sustained long rally to just miss, earning his top speed figure along the way. |
| #5 MO CREDO (7-2) | Starts fresh for new barn, should sit ideal trip from off the pace. |
| Race Summary | THROWIN SHADE pressed the pace at one mile in his seasonal debut before the two favorites and JOEY’S LIGHTNING passed by. He figures tough on the cutback to 7F and drop out of the allowance ranks but will need a top effort in a deep field that averages $57,600 in earnings per starter. Bet to win and place. |
| #1 DR. SPECK (5-2) | Battled gamely to stretch in well-bet debut, moves outside in. |
| #2 RUN CARLOS (4-1) | Hit board in 7 of 11 starts, starts fresh, gets pace to rally into. |
| #5 LOVELY SASSICAIA (6-1) | Awakened on switch to main track in second start, led until late. |
| Race Summary | DR. SPECK took serious money, outran his workouts and finished third behind the winning favorite after he dueled between rivals. He gets Lasix again and gets in light-weighted from a difficult post. Bet to win and place. |
| #1 HEZA PRIORITY (12-1) | New pilot must keep late runner in range for upset possibility. |
| #3 SAILOR CHOW (2-1) | First or second in 12 of 30 starts, has run well under these conditions. |
| #5 MCLEAN (6-1) | Finished in the money in 3 of 4 starts as a 7-year-old, can join $100k Club. |
| Race Summary | Fair Grounds invader HEZA PRIORITY raced wide throughout after a slow start and never threatened at 6F. But his best rally fits okay in this speed-laden field if he stays in closer contact early on the jockey change. Bet to win and place. |
