OPENING DAY FREE PLAY

RACE 1

A maiden claiming race open up for fillies and mares at one mile on the all weather track.

ANALYSIS:

I bet Wild Caroline last time she ran at the beach.......She runs like a router not a sprinter where she ran at Santa Anita in  her last start........She likes this surface and trainer Mike Puype puts her back in a route race on the surface where she likes.......no value as I expect the odds will be low on her!

              1. Wild Caroline   (bet)

RACE 5

One mile on the turf is this maiden special weight race for two year olds.

ANALYSIS:

This is a tough wide open turf maiden special weight where this big field is excellent for the bettors........many contender's coupled with blue bloods first time starters that might need a race under there belt or they might fire with a winning performance.........This summer the on the turf the inside post was tough position to overcome. The outside post both Corey Nakatani and Mike Smith were red hot at the winner's circle.........the real racing on turf was when the field when around the bend at the top the the stretch they made there winning moves. We will see how the turf races run today.......is it the same as the summer turf races or has the turf course changed.

Bolo looks like a runners to me......a blueblood sired by Dynaformer and bred by Spendthift Farms should relish this surface. Carla Gains trains him and she has put together long six furlong drills in him in the morning.  The red hot turf jockey this summer rides him.......Mike Smith.....

Battle of Evermore sired by Scat Daddy out of the mare Good and Tough is making his fourth start for the winning trainer this summer John Sadler..........Corey re-rides him from the rail.......Let's see if the rail is a positive or negative position to be........this race will tell us.

Smuggler Union trained by a under-rated trainer Howard Zucker press a fast pace before fading to fifth.......That race was a key maiden race where a number of horses in that race have come back to win.........Bejarano rarely rides for this trainer as Smith climbs off this horse to go to the first time starter.   I will pass this one....you can play or pass! To many unknowns for me to bet but here is my selection.

(pass or play as I will pass)
