WO 08-25-2019

Haven't posted in 2 months. Last post (Lone Star) only had 1 winner but did manage to peg a $169 exacta in the finale which transformed the day.


race #1 - 6f
... 2yo maidens.
#6 9-5 RED FICTION - firster w/good works
#1 8-1 OWEN'S SOUPER MOON - I'm liking the pedigree not the post, firster worth inspection
#2 6-1 VALUABLE PILLOW - will be on the lead if our top pick doesn't take it. Toss if top pick looks like a prize fighter.

race #2 - 6f
... race is very wide open, so need a price.
#7 8-1 BAY OF RUM - don't like jock, but should be a price
#2 5-2 RAPID BEAT - McKnight/Kimura. should gun
#6 4-1 WATER POLO - should be a better price than ML
#1 6-1 MAJESTIC FEVER - adds DaSilva

race #3 - 6f turf
#1 2-1 MR.DIFFLEY
#2 9-5 AMNESTY - ex-Pletcher
#5 8-1 FOUR ACES HIGH
#3 20-1 TORAH'S BLESSING - exotic booster, crap jock or I'd be droolin'

race #4 - 5.5f
#5 7-2 KEEP GOING - McKnight adds the bug
#8 3-1 FIRE DOWN BELOW - Salles to gun again
#2 6-1 DES BOIS - 3yo debut likely has big shot against these
#3 8-1 WATTERS - can't ignore Drexler/Hernandez firster with a price

race #5 - 8f turf
... 2yo MSW mostly unraced
#5 4-1 ZOOLOGICAL
#7 5-2 FINAL RHAPSODY - intention indicators
#2 8-1 MUSKOKA GIANT - Casse/Husbands ... gotta think Husbands had his choice
#6 2-1 ARTIE MY BOY - Casse/Hernandez, very fast works. If goes as favorite I'd be inclined to drop off the ticket.

race #6 - 7.5f inner turf
... wide open race.
#1 7-2 UNBOUNDED SPIRIT
#7 5-2 FIRST SPRING
#2 8-1 TIMESKIP
#6 12-1 EXECUTIVE SIGHT - exotic booster

race #7 - 6.5f turf
#7 2-1 OCCASIONAL VIEW
#4 12-1 FRONT NINE
#2 5-2 BADJEROS BOY
#8 8-1 DISTINCT PASSION

race #8 - 7f
... stakes.
#5 3-1 KATIE BABY
#2 1-1 SUMMER SUNDAY - little more distance and pace can make a big difference, just ask Shancelot.
#3 6-1 ALNILAH
#1 20-1 DOUBLE MEDAL - exotic booster, Stein

race #9 - 8f turf
#5 6-1 COOLSHADE
#8 3-1 SYNERGIZED
#3 5-2 SLAM
#4 20-1 WE TAKE CHECKS

race #10 - 8.5f
#5 5-2 SOUPER CATCH
#4 10-1 PIPERS WARRIOR
#10 3-1 MACHO DANCER


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
"fiddler" - don't expect top effort if low price
My wagers are exacta keybox top pick, plus straight win bet on top pick.
Good luck to all!

21-1 winner in the 2nd. Doubt we'll do better than that the rest of the day considering that is the highest ML of our top picks. Exacta ran 1-3 ... figures.
