BRISNET DAILY SELECTIONS
Woodbine 10/18/2015
Today’s Best Bet:
#3 Butterfly Strike (Race 7) Drops in for a tag while making the turf to synthetic move today after putting in a solid effort last out while facing allowance competition in which he stalked the pace early but lacked the needed kick late and crossed the wire in third, beaten by 2 1/4 lengths, before being moved up to second via disqualification. Trainer Malcolm Pierce wins with 30% of his runners making their first start versus claiming competition and with 23% of his runners moving from the turf to the synthetic. Patrick Husbands gets the call and he wins 21% of the sprints he has a runner in. This one tops the field in BRIS Prime Power and also possesses the best BRIS Class rating.
#6 Strut the Course (Race 8) Came back from the layoff last out with a nice effort in the Canadian S. (G2) in which she rallied from 4 3/4 lengths off the pace and finished well late to claim the victory by a half length. A repeat of the 100 BRIS Speed rating she posted in that effort will make her a contender in this spot and she is capable of better in her second start back. Trainer Barbara Minshall wins with 19% of her runners next out after winning their start prior and 18% of the graded stakes races she has a runner in. In addition, she wins 17% of the turf races. Luis Contreras gets the call and he has combined with the conditioner for a 21% win rate over the last 60 days. He wins 13% of the turf races he has a mount in. This one tops the field in BRIS Prime Power.
