Race 1


The whole field looks like plodders or mid-pack plodders who are seeking a low-level claiming race win. Captain Sparrow re-claimed by Jack Carava might have found a race he can win. No speed in this race except The Sparrow who will stretch out with Joel Rosario in the irons. Warren's Attack Cat showed speed at Golden Gate and returns to the dirt where he might shake up the reins. Troubletimes three won when Nixon was in office but he might inherite the lead if The Sparrows fades in the afternoon sun. I think the main rival for Captain Sparrow is the class dropper Royal Mango who has never run at this level before. Martin Pedroza after looking at the DRF will probadly be sent to the lead!


     1. Captain Sparrow  2.  Royal Mango  3. Warren's Attack Cat

Race 2

Tizza Trick by Cee's Tizzy usually needs a race under there belt to show major improvement.  She should show a major upgrade at this distance. She has a shot to hit the board at the morning line of 20 to 1. The horse to fear is the horse that scratch out of a maiden turf race to run today. That filly is Around The Twig. She shortens up in distance after displaying speed. Working At Night scratched in the same race to run here after a respectable showing her last race. Check out the bullet she did on March 1st! Seekinana trained by Jeff Mullins should love the added distance. She has the ground saving rail and should clear to be a major contender in this race. The horse that exits the best maiden races is Lovethewayuare. She has run with some quality talented fillies. She can win this wide open affair on the main track.

 1. Around The Twig  2.Working At Night  3. Lovethewayuare



Race 3

One of the hardest races to handicap is age restricted sprint races where they seem to beat each other up no matter the class hike or class drop. This is the case in this race!

     1. Montellano   2. Got Milch  3. Mazarron


Race 4

Bold And Brave has some solid fast morning drills at this low level maiden sprint. Slews Dark Knight is another first time starter that has some solid workouts. K Jems was off slow........ really she just walked out of the gate and she gets a major upgrade in jockey. Beware!

    1. K. Jems  2. Slews Dark Knight  3. Bold And Brave


Race 5

This might be the hardest race to pick a single winner because the whole field has a shot to win this race. I picked Dubai XYZ in his last race to win which he did impressively. His main two rivals looks like Ace Of Aces and Bogie. If Hyades is fit and ready after eight months off then he drops in class and should be forwardly placed to close on this group. He has the closing style like Bogie. Hyades runs fresh and has won off the bench before.

    1.  Dubai XYZ  2. Bogie 3.Ace Of Aces

Pick 4

5th       8
6th    3,4,8
7th    9,10
8th   1,5,8





Race 6

Queenofcalifornia drops from $75K company to face a maiden $30K company. She shortens up to five furlongs and P-Val will try to wire this group of age restricted fillies. As for first time starters Three Cuties trained by Clifford Sise usually has his horses fit and ready to fire from the sound of the bell. She looks like a runner with Mike Smith taking the call. If the speed melts down with the Queen on the front end Lake Osceola should be forwardly place to close down the lane. There is lots to like about her because she has racing experience with solid speed numbers to take this race. She's All Yours is the scary maiden open company filly who is dropping for Kory Owens. Check out her last workout!

       1. She's All Yours 2. Queen  3. Lake Osceloa


Race 7

The pace looks to have Robie The Cat with Sierra Spirit and D'pendable on the front-end. It sets it up for Diamond Geezah with The Flying Whizzer and Celestic Night to close on the rabbits. I like Chin N' Tonic who had to need last race. He shortens up for Vienna and the jockey and trainer combo are deadly.

      1. Chin N' Tonic   2. Diamond Geezah  3. De'penable

      Longshot Celestic Nights


Race 8

A hard race to end Thursday's card! I like the early win pedigree of Warren's Genius

      1. Warren's Genius   2. Katelyn N Jenna
