Saturday, March 4, 2017
WELCOME TIM TETRICK AND DAVID MILLER
RACE ONE (DOUBLE – 1-2, 1-5, 1-6, 5-2, 5-5, 5-6 / PICK-5 – 1,5 w 2,5,6 w 1,3,7 w 2,6 w 1,3,5)
5-A CROWN FOR LINDY…warrior has perfect post to try wiring act. Compares very well with other foes here.
1-WIRE ME CASH…been battling much tougher in recent. Drew rail and should be cozily close throughout mile.
8-GARLANDSANDPEARLS…outside post does hinder a bit with early speed inside but can’t argue with form.
RACE TWO
5-SKAD’S WINNER…was given sharp handling in last to take command 3/8ths in and just did hold on at wire.
6-NEW SCENT…kind of an “even-steven” mile in last. Versatile sort could be on engine looking for good spot.
2-CHIP CHIP PAGE…was menacing the leader around final turn before jumping it off. Can upset the applecart.
RACE THREE (PICK-6 - 1,3,7 w 2,6 w 1,3,5 w 5 w 3,4,5,6 w 3)
7-CREAMPUFF MACDADDY…loves to join the fray from the get-go & has the speed to bottom out the field here.
3-B COR TTHOMAS…shook loose at the top of the lane in last and was one stride away from winning. Threat.
1-LUKAS HALL…in new hands for this. Shows he can easily trot in the 1:56-:57 range—good enough to win.
RACE FOUR (PENTAFECTA - (Box) 2,3,5,6,7)
2-BIG BAD ET…makes 3 year-old debut after successful season on fair circuit. Qualified safely in very fast mile.
6-ROLL WITH FAITH…filly in pari-mutuel debut after very sharp qualifying effort showing speed both ends.
7-LINCOLNS LEGEND…will be on the choo-choo train leaving. Just needs to add a bit more punch at the end.
3-MACHOS ECHO…qualifier showed filly has some solid pace—just not quite ready for :27.4 closer. Good, tho.
5-CRUISENINSTRIDE…showed some promise early on in 2 year-old season. Makes debut after OK qualifier.
RACE FIVE (PICK-4 - 1,2,3,5 w 5 w 3,4,5,6 w 3)
1-MATCH POINT…got garden journey in last, pulled in the lane and needed just one more stride to get it done.
3-DELI-CRAZE…not much on paper but finally gave a slight hint in last showing backside trot--:29.2. Fits well.
5-SAVIN ROCK…seems to give good effort in all starts. Can grind forward a bit and will try to catch live cover.
RACE SIX
5-AMERICAN HUSTLE…left in last & found good spot, pulled—briefly—5/16s in and ducked back in. On engine.
3-J BLACK…giving some hints lately. Showed sharp pace on backside--:28.3--& had pace right to the finish.
1-ROCKIN ROGER…youngster makes 2017 debut after decent qualifier BUT didn’t handle final turn that well.
RACE SEVEN (DOUBLE – 3-3, 4-3, 5-3, 6-3)
6-THUNDERCREST…gets back in a class he handled three starts back from an outside post. Can brush by late.
5-JAILHOUSE LAWYER…pulled turn 2 in last while moving forward but backside panel too stiff to dent. Fits.
3-TWO DAYS FINALE…cut the early panels but was out-brushed on backside but still held well in the stretch.
RACE EIGHT (SUPER HI-5 - 3 w 4 w 6,7,9 w 6,7,9 w ALL)
3-JADE MOUNTAIN…missed a couple of weeks but is very dangerous off the pace. Can throttle it up in the lane.
4-BEST DREAM SEEKER…sat in the garden spot all the way but mile in 1:52 & change a bit too tough to handle.
7-FAST BILL…only time he seems to leave when he draws 5 post. Expect off the pace with usual closing kick.
9-BLUE FIN…warrior will be on the choo-choo train when Hummer leaves the station. Will be a factor in here.
6-AVANTAGE…former Open pacer did show some solid pace backside--:28.1. Best would be 2nd over journey.
