Mahoning Valley 3-12-2018
Track is due for a longshot. Last was on 2/20 but there have been some close calls. Let's see if we can find it.
race #1 - 6f
#5 6-5 GO
#7 5-2 REGENT DIAMOND
#3 15-1 MISS LAURA LOU - take a good look, off layoff
race #2 - 5.5f
... very tough 6 horse field. Toss the 7, leaves 5 with a shot.
#2 4-5 PACIFIC IMAGE - logical but post doesn't help.
#3 6-1 SIGHTS AND SOUNDS - would benefit from hot pace
#1 5-1 SALTY RIM - conflicting opinion ... dangerous speed if left alone but has never ran at this track and his type of gate is usually not condusive to how this track should play today. I'm thinking he will get a big lead and hit the wall at the furlong marker. But then we have Paucar up and he has gotten this one home before going 2 turns without switching leads. Can't wait to see this.
race #3 - 8f
... nice cheap maiden claimer.
#1 2-1 MISS HOLIDAY (ARG) - private acquisition from the Fairgrounds could be tons best.
#2 15-1 NINE'OTHREE - don't care for jock but horse might take to track
#6 3-1 PLEASANT TRUTH - logical but would do better if track was a little faster today. Will know that after seeing finals for first two races.
race #4 - 8f
#4 8-5 MOON OVER MONTANA - vet scratched at GP (Florida) 19 days after big win at Hawthorne (Illinois), Rivelli's ships only entry on card.
#7 6-1 CHESTER MON
#5 10-1 LITTLE TRICKS
race #5 - 8.5f
... wide open.
#10 9-2 CRUSHING POWDER
#2 20-1 SIR GARY - see how the other Jones horse fares in race 3.
#1A 12-1 JOHNNY ROCKET - Pilares/Gorham won their last 2
race #6 - 8f
... another tuffy.
#3 4-1 SARATOGA SWAG - shot if ready
#6 7-2 REBEL LIONESS
#1 20-1 PROVOKING CAT - exotic booster, looks like crap on paper, Faulkner/Hernandez have a history and have hit the board with 5 of last 13 bombs.
#2 15-1 BELIEF
... rest to follow shortly ...
