THURSDAY STRATEGY PLAYS

RACE 1

Spirit Seeker looks to be the speed for Jerry Hoffendofter.... looks good winning up north....tries tougher today.   Tripped The Light looks to be the horse to fear with Rosario riding again...... Jeopardy Lady fits with these.....Good Friday Gal has won two of her three races....trained by Bernstein and Chantel rides her..... She has been training excellent in the morning time. Beware as this trainer uses Chantel as there record is 1 for 1...... Ballastic Blonde a new face in the crowd for Chambers who had a winner last week. She drops from a stakes race in which she ran third on dirt....will be over-looked by the public but do not sell her short so quickly.

             1. Spirit Seeker'......talented shipper with speed.

             2. Good Friday Gal....just win baby!

             3. Tripped The Light.....the horse to beat

RACE 2

Kristin drops He's A Bandit in this modest field of 30 G maiden claimers going one mile.

             1. He's A Bandit....not much in race

             2. Rare Song.....be getting second..

             3. Victoriausdaddy....longshot play and bred to win early


RACE 3

 Lofty Ambition  a daughter of Sky Mesa likes this surface.....works are very solid. She should love the downhill course today. Valeria trained by the sheirff in town looks to be coming around in the morning time. Beware! Madre Luna makes her turf debut for Julio and Martin...... good turf pedigree. Kissable a first time starter with excellent turf pedigree gets Bejarano.....Harris Farms has two starter in this race.

         1. Lofty Ambition....needed race last time finish full of run

         2. Valeria.......shortens up for the town sheriff

         3. Madre Luna.....beware the daughter of Rahy......

         FIRST TIME STARTER PLAY INAUGURATE



RACE 4

For You My Heart drops from 50 G's to 20.....switches surfaces with speed. Lily Amore and March Mary are trained by Carava.......both should get perfect trips from off the pace.

         1. For You My Heart...drops to collect

         2. Lilly Amore......drops in class as Rosario rides her

         3. Si Mar's Dear....shipper that drops in class.




RACE 5

Cragmont looks to be well back by the public......He drops in class after being freshened up for this race...lot's to like except the price. Walther Solis sends out Hurricane Harbor who I expect will run much better as Martin Pedroza rides. Thunder Of Zion gets weight off and has gas....expect that Zion will press the pace thoughout this race. Ashen trained by Jones gets Patrick to ride....has run once before on the dirt finishing second....tab as he is fresh and looks very playable here. Walsh sends out Excessio who had a troubled trip facing much better off a long lay off..... expect much tighter this time around. This race has the look of a longshot race!

            1. Ashen

            2. Hurricane Harbor

            3. Thunder Of Zion

Pick Four 1,7,9 with  7,8 with  4 with 1,2,5


RACE 6

 Unusual Beam looks spotted for action. Cranky Jack has speed with Amoracchius closing from off the pace.....these are the  suspects in this one mile turf race. Archie' Way claimed in his debut is bred for the turf and distance....lot's to like as he has been working solid in the morning time. I like the hike up in class in a modest field of maidens.

            1. Unusual Beam

            2. Cranky Jack

            3. Stone Hot

            Longshot pace play  Victory Cup

Late Pick Three   7,8 with  4  with 1,2,5 cost $6.00


RACE 7

Bluegrass Reward looms the horse to beat here....hands down! Lodi Red a horse I have hit with when Joy Scott ran some while ago..... hard to remember but I think it was he last win. Starspangled Heat tab the jockey switch to P-Val. Jeff Mullins sends out Caper's Edge with Bejarano riding..... Memphis Mobster might just bite this field on the ass....beware!



            1. Bluegrass Reward

            2. Memphis Mobster

            3. Starspangled Heat
