Golden Gate 11-23-2017
I very rarely play Golden Gate.
Card looks very chalky.
race #1 - 8f
... race does not look bettable to me ... 6-horse field, 1-3-4-5 main contenders.
#1 5-2 APRILS NOT FOOLIN
#3 2-1 TAYLOR'S ROSE
#4 5-1 BELLA RONSKI - jock+
race #2 - 5.5f
... kinda like the chances of beating the fav here ... kinda.
#3 4-1 SOUL OF JERSEY - good chance firster is ready to run since connections last 6 first-timers are 2w/2p/2s
#2 5-2 SENSATIONAL SUMMER
#6 9-5 ARIES - I said, "kinda"
race #3 - 5.5f
#6 15-1 SUNDAY PULPIT - not many opportunities to go for a price on this card so I will take one here if over 10-1. AntonGeorgi has only ridden 4 horses for Torres in the last 2 years and all hit the board. Not the greatest longshot in the world but I certainly wouldn't want to get beat by this guy.
#3 3-1 ASSETS INCLUDED
#5 2-1 TRENTO'S HEART
race #4 - 8.5f turf
... looks like a small chalky field .... agree with morning line's 2-1-6-7
race #5 - 6f
... another small field and accurate morning line (1-3-4-7) ... can't add anything.
race #6 - 8f turf
... accurate morning line yet again .... except I'll add a booster.
#6 1-1 DAWN TRAVELLER (IRE) - pick to click
#7 7-2 EVENING JAZZ
#9 9-2 ROYAL LOOKIN
#8 20-1 WYNN DIRECTION - exotic booster, would be futile move if winner is odds-on.
race #7 - 8.5f
... last 2 races are the best betting races on card. In this, if favs are not 100% or hook-up in a duel ... then it's a toss up.
#8 15-1 TIZ TITUS - 7yo looks like he's rounding into form while getting the drop.
#5 7-2 MELVILLE - this guy doesn't need to be 100% ... negative drop?
race #8 - 8.5f turf
... race is 100% wide open ... anybody can win it. Play what you like. Fav gets negative jock switch so that squares things up.
#8 8-1 VARSOVIENNE - jock been riding this turf hot
#9 5-1 CHIEF BARBARA
#3 8-1 MY AUDUBON
FYI, definitions:
"pick to click" - most likely (aka best bet)
"bomb alert" - very possible, don't ignore if big price
"exotic booster" - use underneath only
Good luck to all!
