We’ll emphasize the 6 stakes races, along with selected others.
Race 1: Grade D. I may be taking a bit of a flyer here. Superior Weapon (3) prefers the inside. I think she can get there. NMS Julie (1) looks to be the best of the lot. I’m worried about the grade dropper, WWK Sears, in the 8 box.
Daily double: 13/15
Quinella: 1/348
Race 2: Grade S. The stakes kick off with a pair of strong entrants. Superior Panama (2) and Luciano Leggio (5) should dominate the field. Daedalus (4) has won 4 in a row, but will be against the big boys now.
Quinella: 135 box
Trifecta: 35/1357/134578
Race 3: Grade C. GV Amber (2) has had luck in Grade TC, but those are mixed grade races. She should be on the board against this crew. O Ya Gold Rush (7) breaks well and should be ahead of trouble. But, will he hold on? I also like Trusty Red Ryder (5) to be in the mix.
Pick 4: 257/257/35/57 (add the 2 if you’d like)
Quinella: 257
Superfecta: 257/257/257/a and rotate the all throughout.
Race 4: Grade S. The females take to the track, and there are a lot of good racers. SE’s Tali Ritz (5) likes the middle and has been running well. Sprite Drive (2) closes with the best of them. However, Sprite is moving from the long course. Serendipity Bonz (4) has been out of form recently, but she, too, is changing to the shorter race, and that could spur her on. Don’t forget about the consistent Amy Farah Fowler (7).
Quinella: 5/2347
Trifecta: 57/23457/23457
Race 5: Grade TA, Dubuque Course. I’m going with Superior Samba (3). She’s struggled as of late, but I think she’s coming around. Rapp (5) runs well; I’d ignore the checked line and add him.
Quinella: 3/4578
Superfecta: 35/357/3457/a
Race 6: Grade S. The boys are back at it. You better be ready to stand up to watch this one, as it features O Ya Spider Webb (2), Superior Product (5), CRV’s Starpower (7) and JF Callin Radar (8). Who do you take? Starpower has 7 wins in a row; be sure to use him. Superior Product loves the Dubuque track.
Trifecta: 7/5/a; 57/57/24578
Superfecta: 57/257/2578/a
Race 10: Grade S. The ladies are back. AJ Cheramieamour (1) and Springisintheair (3) get the nod. AJ finds a way to hit the board in big races. Springisintheair is consistent. Be sure to add JD Groovin It (2) to the exotics.
Quinella: 1/2378
Trifecta: 13/13/2578
Superfecta: 13/123/123678/123578
Race 11: Grade C. I can’t help but like Superior Nation (5). He’s a grade dropper, a better rusher than those around him and has the top times.
Quinella: 5/1238
Race 12: Grade S. The guys wrap up with this one. Throw out the last race of Pat C Sabbath (4); he’ll be pushing to the front early. Mymotorsrunnin (5) is getting on a roll, but might have some trouble with the early speed around him. Winston Wishbone (3) gets my nod out of consistency.
Quinella: 3/4567
Superfecta: 34/345/3456/a
Race 14: Grade S. The gals end the stakes here. B’s Graciebswift (5) is in this one. She’s one of the top greyhounds at Dubuque, and should win this race.
Quinella: 5/1238
Trifecta: 5/1238/12348
