Al Cimaglia: Meadowlands Pace Early Pick 4 Analysis

July 13, 2024 | By Al Cimaglia

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Meadowlands has a giant 14-race card loaded with big money stakes. The signature event at the Big M, the Meadowlands Pace rolls in Race 11, and it has a $650,000 purse. The 0.50 Early Pick 4 has a $100,000 guaranteed pool, and it will be my focus.

There is still time to register for the Hit and Split Promo at the Meadowlands. The two Pick 4's are races (8-11) and (11-14) and in each sequence, 500,000 1st Reward Points will be split among those who have a winning Pick 4 ticket.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 8 (9:19 PM EST)

5-Highland Kismet (8/5)-The Father Patrick 3-year-old has won 4 straight and 5 of 6 lifetime despite not racing as a 2-year-old. The only blemish was in its 2nd start which came after a sick scratch. Finished 2nd by a half-length that night after leaving from the rail and being 8th by 11 lengths at the 1st call. The Mark Etsell trainee has big speed, owning a 151.3 mark at Mohawk. Also, finishes off miles with strong last quarters. T C I is a big time threat, but my chips will go on the 2nd morning line chalk. Bob McClure, his usual pilot is doing the steering. This will be its M1 debut and will single on the belief there won't be an issue with a different surface. If so, should be able to tackle the morning line chalk down the lane.

Race 9 (9:46 PM EST)

4-Bestfriend Volo (5-1)-Has been idle since 6-17 and then qualified nicely in 1.51 at M1 on 7-6. Scott Zeron takes the lines for Nancy Takter. Could be overlooked and has the gate speed to land on the point or in the pocket. Could add some pop to the sequence if fires hot off the bench.
7-Special Way (3-1)-Has come 2nd in the last 3 races and flew down the lane to finish 2nd by a nose in the Graduate. Started from the 9-hole in last and moving in 2 slots could be the winning difference. Tim Tetrick should be closer to the lead early on, and his hit the board in 7 of 8 at M1 with 3 pictures.
11-Winner's Bet (5/2)-This is another Takter pupil and is a perfect 3 for 3 this year. There is a little gate speed inside but not much from the rail horse. Still best to not overlook because Dexter Dunn could provide a super sharp steer.

Race 10 (10:13 PM EST)

1-Allywag Hanover (3-1)-Faded in the Brower but that was on a sloppy track and was off 4-weeks between starts. Trainer Brett Pelling should have the classy veteran primed for a big try. Likes to get on the engine and driver Todd McCarthy could make that happen.
4-Voukfalas (7/2)-When the Lazarus 4-year-old is dialed on high he can be very good as was the case when winning the Graduate last week. Jordan Stratton should be racing at the top of the stack and will look for the Mike Russo pupil to finish best of all again.

Race 11 (10:44 PM EST)

2-Funtime Bayama (7/2)-The Canadian standout raced gamely in last week's Elimination and was parked the mile. Nijinsky was better and didn't have an easy trip. This colt has high end talent but may not be as versatile as the program chalk. So, Dunn needs to work a smooth trip and push the button at the right time to take top honors. Should get a better trip this time and could be in close contact with Nijinsky throughout.
3-Nijinsky (2-1)-At first it seemed to made some sense to try to shoot against this very talented colt. Considering only 10 times in the past has a 3-year-old won both the NA Cup, and the Meadowlands Pace but that notion left my head quickly. The Anthony Beaton pupil can take a picture by making every call a winning or by coming off cover. Or, like last week could be wide much of the way and still cross the line first. Louie Roy should have this colt in play turning for home one way or the other. It's my guess Nijinsky and Bayama could be battling down the lane just like last week.

Race of the Week: Diana at Saratoga | Saturday, 7/13

July 13, 2024 | By Jeremy Plonk

The Lead:
The first Grade 1 of the 2024 Saratoga summer meet takes place Saturday with top Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf division competitors in the Diana. The 1-1/8 miles grass test goes as Race 10 on the card that also features the Grade 3 Kelso and Grade 3 Sanford. Trainer Chad Brown has won the Diana 6 of the last 7 years and a record 8 times overall; he'll saddle no less than 5 of the 10 entrants on Saturday.

Horsesplayers at Xpressbet and 1/ST BET can take part in the Saratoga late pick 4 Hit & Split promo each racing day of the season, earning your share of 2 million daily 1/ST Wager Rewards Points with others on the two platforms who also successfully hit the featured wager.

Field Depth:
Grade 1 winners in the lineup include DIDIA, GINA ROMANTICA, WHITEBEAM and CHILI FLAG. Meanwhile, Grade 2 winners who are Grade 1-placed include MOIRA, FLUFFY SOCKS and EVVIE JETS.

Pace:
EVVIE JETS has shown the most propensity to go the front and likely will be asked early from an outer draw. WHITEBEAM and DIDIA project to be in close attendance of a pace that will be very modest and give deep closers a major obstacle to overcome.

Our Eyes:
Here are my horse-by-horse notes.

#1-MOIRA: '22 Queen's Plate winner hasn't run since a third in last year's Breeders' Cup F&M Turf and she did not come back firing her best in her unveilings at ages 3 and 4. Respect the 5YO mare, but may need the race.

#2-COPPICE: Disappointed as favorite in the Distaff Turf Mile and Just A Game since arriving in the US (troubled starts in both), twice chasing Chad Brown stablemate and Diana rival Chili Flag. Pure miler in England prior, reason for concern adding an additional furlong.

#3-MISSION OF JOY: 6-time Diana winner John Velazquez looks to add to his race record riding exploits. Filly has lost 6 straight, but was only a half-length back of Chili Flag and Whitebeam in the Just A Game over a mile. Longer trip works back in favor of this Graham Motion trainee.

#4-DIDIA: Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf winner is having a strong 6-year-old season, but it's notable no mare 6 or older has won the Diana since 1963. Her last start during the Belmont Stakes Festival at Saratoga was one of the best of her career and she's as reliable as they come.

#5-GINA ROMANTICA: Millionaire has been off form in both starts so far this year, and while she did win at this distance in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland a few years back, her best trip and kick is at a flat mile. Manny Franco comes off a Belmont at Aqueduct meet title and takes over for trainer Brown.

#6-WHITEBEAM: Defending Diana champion outkicked heavily favored barnmate In Italian in this race last year. Only 5 have won this race back-to-back and they were superstars: Sistercharlie, Forever Together, Shuvee, Tempted and Miss Grillo. Should get a dynamite trip near the front under Flavien Prat for Team Brown.

#7-FLUFFY SOCKS: Late-running veteran got a confidence boost in the Grade 3 Gallorette at Pimlico, snapping a 7-race losing streak with authority over soft ground. Much tougher task and her 0-5 Sararoga turf mark includes a fifth in this race last year. Likely slow pace hurts her style, though Joel Rosario should be a good style fit on the Brown trainee.

#8-NEECIE MARIE: From-the-clouds closer in recent starts will need the pace to come back to her. Parx-based filly was 26-1 runner-up over this course behind Didia in the Grade 1 New York during the Belmont Stakes Festival. Tough task given deeper field and race shape.

#9-EVVIE JETS: Rallying winner of last year's Ballston Spa over this turf course likely changes tactics Saturday due to a lack of other pace. She went to the front last time out when fourth in the Just A Game, beaten only three-quarters of a length vs. 3 of her return rivals in the Diana. The distance will stretch her to the hilt, but a slower pace helps.

#10-CHILI FLAG: Rising star in the division was sixth at 27-1 to start the season in the Pegasus World Cup F&M Turf, but has rattled off wins at Gulfstream, Churchill and Saratoga since. Posted 4-1 minor upsets of more ballyhooed stablemates in the Distaff Turf Mile and Just A Game, but likely to finally get supported on the tote in the Diana. Deep closer could be pace-compromised.

(MTO) #11-VENTI VALENTINE: NY-bred would be dangerous up front in an off-turf situation.

Most Certain Exotics Contender:
DIDIA has missed only 1 superfecta in her last 16 starts and should be in receipt of a favorable trip near the front.

Best Longshot Exotics Contender:
MISSION OF JOY is 10-1 morning line and never misfires, already proving she's capable of hitting the superfecta ticket against most of these.

Sending it in ($100 bankroll):
$90 win WHITEBEAM. $10 exacta WHITEBEAM over MISSION OF JOY.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Ellis Park - Race #5

#6 She's All Charm	Get a look at her on the tote and track, but she is bringing a reliable series of works to this first start, and I'm not sure this race is full of heavy hitters. Capable first out.
#4 Melittlefrostgirl	She might be a bit light for these overall, but she turned in a good effort out of the box against high-end claimers, and her positional pace should have her in a good spot while trying the turf. Some appeal.
#1 City Cocktails	Price might be OK on the rail debuter, but I don't have a ton of confidence that she's ready to roll. Still, I'm interested in taking a look in a spot where a lot of the name barns have not done well in these kinds of spots.
Race Summary	She's All Charm and Melittlefrostgirl get the edge in here. I think the former should be ready, and the latter may be overlooked on the rise despite turning in an OK debut run.

Ellis Park - Race #7

#2 Bolt's Broad	She is way short on excuses at this point in time, but her baseline effort keeps her in the mix with these, and I'm not all that afraid of some of the other logical players.
#4 Playback	She has to prove she can transfer the good Turfway form back over to the main track where she did not have any success in her first two starts. Perfect tracking trip should be there for her.
#3 Pretty Pertinent	Debuter meets some capable horses here, but I wonder if she may be able to outrun her price after drilling like clockwork in advance of this.
Race Summary	Bolt's Broad has had a lot of chances, but she makes sense in this spot with a trip that might let her tuck in behind a couple potential forward players drawn out wide.

Ellis Park - Race #8

#8 Determined Candy	She draws well while outside of several players who typically chase and can't pass horses, and she might find a perfect spying spot to track them into the turn. I'd settle for something a bit shorter than the 6/1 ML offering.
#4 La La Rose	She didn't kick on with much energy in the final furlong last out, but she is another who might find a good tracking spot behind the speedier players early on. Threat on either surface.
#3 Makeup	Pace could face a decent bit of early company, but she might prove best of the pace players after taking a big step forward when getting on the grass at Keeneland at second asking. Also a decent chance she has progressed a little bit since then.
Race Summary	#10 Sickle Dancer probably belongs on some of the deeper plays, but Determined Candy gets a solid lean for me with a good race flow and a versatile pedigree for the new footing.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Delaware Park - Race #1

#3 KHOOLZAN (5-2)	Second to stakes-placed rival, returns off 8-month layoff, gets in light.
#4 BOLD D’ORO (6-5)	Blew clear stretch leads twice at Oaklawn but is deserving favorite.
#6 PILOTE COMETE (6-1)	Distant third off similar rest, should sit ideal trip, adds blinkers.
Race Summary	The favorites have speed, haven’t shown much of a passing gear and could get in the way of each other. KHOOLZAN races with first-time Lasix in his seasonal debut. He was last seen in November, finishing second to Roar Ready, who finished third in the Carry Back Stakes at Gulfstream Park earlier this month. Bet to win and place and play 3-4, 3-6 and 4-3 exactas.

Delaware Park - Race #2

#6 SHELL BELLE (4-1)	Like the way she won off two-month rest for 32-percent ‘repeat’ barn.
#5 MUSIC AMORE (8-5)	Won off claim for hot barn, then disputed torrid pace when third in allowance.
#1 LANTERN’S CANDY (5-1)	Seeks third consecutive victory at one mile, will have to step it up a notch.
Race Summary	SHELL BELLE advanced in-hand and was ‘hounded’ until she drew away in mid-stretch to win off the re-claim by Ness. She has finished first or second in half of her 18 starts and offers some value on the class rise. Bet to win and place and play a 6-5-ALL trifecta.

Delaware Park - Race #3

#3 MAP TO THE MOON (8-1)	Took money, bumped early, hooked smashing winner, use on all tickets.
#5 FIRST PEARL (3-2)	Just missed as debut favorite, gets in light with Maldonado, looms odds-on.
#2 UPTOWN MISS (4-1)	Taken back in tight quarters early, mild bid in field of all firsters.
Race Summary	MAP TO THE MOON was no threat to his Maiden Special Weight dropping stablemate Safe Trust in her first start for $45,000, then hooked a tigress named Great Andrei in a well-bet second start. She is a very live longshot for a barn that excels with them. Bet to win and place and play 3-2, 3-5 and 5-3 exactas.

SMOKIN RICHIE has a formidable shot to take this race. Torres should be able to get this gelding to break out early in this race. MAJOR WAGER - Could beat this group of horses in this race given the 79 speed rating recorded in his last outing. He should be given consideration given the very good speed figures. ALL JOKES ASIDE - Is a solid choice - given the 83 speed figure from his most recent race.

With a solid return on investment of +25 this conditioner has shown very good results with entries running at this distance and surface. I like Castaneda on this colt to give him a competitive chance to hit the wire first. PAINT ME ONIS - He has been running very well recently while recording solid Equibase Speed Figures. Ran a very solid last race. LITTLE MOON DARLING - Win percentage with this rider and trainer combo - 16 percent - strong. Ought to be used in the exotic offerings.

Belterra Park - Race #3 - Post: 1:35pm - Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $9,500 Class Rating: 69

Rating:

#3 PERJURY (ML=8/1)
#6 READY FOR ACTION (ML=2/1)

PERJURY - Faced tougher last race out at Belterra Park. Based on class figures, this is a weaker bunch, so I will put this horse on my list of contenders. Gelding is a few starts into a come back here. Should give a big race today. Cross seems to have this gelding primed for a big effort. His workout pattern is super. READY FOR ACTION - Have to make this gelding a solid contender; he comes off a sharp outing on June 22nd. A repeat of that last performance on Jun 22nd where he notched a speed rating of 75 looks good enough to prove victorious in this event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 FOLLOW YOUR DREAM (ML=3/1), #1 SCAT DANZ (ML=7/2), #5 KOBE BEACH (ML=9/2),

FOLLOW YOUR DREAM - This gelding hasn't been showing me anything positive in the last two efforts. SCAT DANZ - Really had to show me lots more last out. Never made much of an impact. KOBE BEACH - Today's race is 5 1/2 furlongs. Hasn't finished in the money in a short distance race in the last sixty days. Not the best of signs. The speed figure last out doesn't fit very well in this affair when I look at the Equibase class figure of today's event. Mark this mount as a likely underpriced equine.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Putting our cash on #3 PERJURY to win. Have to have odds of at least 5/2 or better though
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [3,6]

Gulfstream Park - Race #3 - Post: 1:59pm - Claiming - 7.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $23,000 Class Rating: 76

Rating:

#4 JACKSON'S WEBB (ML=6/1)
#2 MODERN LANE (ML=8/1)
#7 CARSOWN (ML=3/1)
#3 FORT ATTITUDE (ML=10/1)

JACKSON'S WEBB - Was in an $8,000 Claiming race at Gulfstream Park last out. That event had a class figure of 84 and he is moving down in this race. A certain contender. The jock and trainer combination have a beneficial return on investment when they combine forces. Horse didn't end up on the board in last race, but did beat half the field, and made up ground in the lane. A slight improvement and this horse should be right there at the finish line. MODERN LANE - The jockey/trainer duo of Morelos and Budhoo has a strong return on investment together. Have to give this colt a shot. Ran a good outing in the last race within the last month. CARSOWN - My handicapping intuition tells me to watch out for this horse in this affair FORT ATTITUDE - Have to make this gelding a contender; he comes off a good race on Jun 20th. This gelding has been trying different distances, but from the looks of things, he ran a nice rating last try at this distance. Took a significant drop in class rating last time around the track at Gulfstream Park. Returning to a similar class level in this event. I'd calculate a good performance. Have to like the way Ochoa has raced this gelding back into shape off the layoff. Animal is well spotted in this sprint and I think he'll run well today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 MAKIZAN (ML=7/5), #6 EL ROJO VIVO (ML=7/2),

MAKIZAN - 7/5 is not pegged at the proper price for any mount in a sprint of 7 furlongs that hasn't hit the board in a short distance contest recently. If this affair shapes up right, all the speed horses will force a furious speed battle early. Too bad this animal is one of those front runners. EL ROJO VIVO - The sixth place finish in the last affair was not the greatest.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#4 JACKSON'S WEBB is going to be the play if we are getting 5/1 or better
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [2,4] Box [3,4]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	None
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	Pass
