Terrible news about Awesome Gerry yesterday. Really put a damper on the evening. RIP.
Today’s first post is at 1:05 EST as usual.
Race 1 Contentious field of maidens. The 5 and 7 look like standouts here. The 2 and 6 both get blinkers for the first time.
Picks: 5-6-4-7
Race 2 The 4 could wire this field. Favorable post for the early speed. The 1 puts blinkers back on today and has been working well.
Picks: 4-2-3-1
Race 3 The 5 is a heavy favorite mainly because the rest of the field is weak. Not a race I’m looking to get involved in.
Picks: 1-5-2-3
Race 4 The 9 is making his first start of 2022 here for trainer Jonathan Thomas.
Picks: 9-7-3-1
Race 5 The 7 gets blinkers and Irad in his second career start.
Picks: 7-10-2-3
Race 6 Castellano has been fantastic this meet with price horses.
Picks: 9-4-6-3
Race 7 This bunch is not fast, at least on paper. I always bet the 4 horse, but I just don’t think there’s enough speed in the race for the closers to run into.
Picks: 5-4-8-1
Race 8 The 1 is 2-for-2 lifetime and has passed horses down the stretch.
Picks: 1-8-2-4
Race 9 Saez is up on the 2 who gets first time blinkers today.
Picks: 7-2-8-10
Race 10 Spread race in the finale here.
Picks: 9-12-5-2
Best of luck!
