Mahoning Valley 11-20-2017
Not sure how this track will play today. It's a unique winter surface that gets tiring. Horse-for-the-course angle is a good one with this track. Generally quick turn of foot horses won't do well here but close up style grinders will or late closers (when track is slowest). Some recent longshots off the shelf have been those that love this track. So watch the PPs for this. Bull-ring track runners from HP or CT will usually take to it.
race #1 - 8f
... no speed 2-turn race
#2 3-1 WISDOM OF THE DUKE - might be our leader?
#6 5-1 WILD SUNNY
#3 8-1 DECADENT DOC - j/t good numbers at track
race #2 - 6f
#6 6-5 PAPPIAS PLEASURE - could be easy pickens if ready
#1 10-1 DANGEROUS WEAPON - has that grinder look
#3 5-1 SHARI'S QUEEN B
race #3 - 6f
... 2yo filly 10k maiden claimer.
#5 2-1 BEARING SECRETS - one of 3 Rivelli shippers today. Valdivia never rode this track so this gets him a feel.
#2 3-1 SHARON'S THUNDER - running on late
#1 15-1 MOONLIGHT TRICKS - first timer gets the chance to prove he can't run
race #4 - 8f
#8 8-1 MISTBINDER
#11 15-1 BARNEY COME HOME - bomb alert
#4 5-1 HOOSIER CHROME - big drop
... rest to follow shortly ...
