Al Cimaglia: Meadowlands Late Pick 4 Analysis
September 18, 2020 | By Al Cimaglia
The Meadowlands has a competitive 13-race card ready to go this evening. There will be two carryovers which bettors will focus on and both should lead to large pools. One is in the 0.20 Late Pick 5 and the other is in the 0.50 Late Pick 4. My focus will be on the Late Pick 4 which begins in Race 10 and it has a $38,390 carryover.
Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 10
6-Aquaman Hanover (10-1)-Looking for a price to kick things off with #9 coming off a break at PcD. Loses Dunn who picks Takter's #9. But Todd McCarthy can put in play and with an advantageous trip could surprise at a big price.
8-Summa Cum Laude (3-1)-Won here on 7/31 from the 7-hole in gate to wire fashion in 151.4. Dave Miller takes a seat and he will steer the only one in this field to record a win at the Big M.
9-Always A Miki (5/2)-Dunn sticks here and made a costly miscue in the Pass final on 9/5. Best to not overlook this Takter trainee but Dunn will need a to work a smooth trip.
Race 11
3-Fifty Cent Piece (8-1)-Has 2 Big M starts, both were from the 9-hole and showed good gate speed to finish 2nd each time. This is a bigger test but has a post edge over the 2 program chalks. Could trip out and best to consider at this price.
6-Kings County (8-1)-Started 3 times at Plainridge Park as an odds-on chalk and broke in the last 2 starts. 1st time Todd McCarthy which also adds to the risk, but this race is a head scratcher. 4-year-old has the speed to beat this crew and will use at this price. Has hit the board 3 times with a win here and shows no breaks at the Big M.
7-Thunder (3-1)-Broke on 8/20, then on 9/5 qualified with hopples in 153.1 and missed beating Ramona Hill by a neck. Conway Hall 4-year-old has big speed and can take a picture if minds manners.
9-HL Revadon (10-1)-The post makes the price and is super consistent at the Big M, has 3 wins in 13 starts and has only been off the board once. Mark Mac needs a big-time steer and some luck but here is another price shot worth using.
Race 12
1-Heart Of Mine (5/2)-This filly is too good to leave out from the rail but is only 1-6 lifetime. Makes her Big M debut and should be bet hard.
4-Think Of Galaxies (5-1)-Returns to a 1-mile oval and might be sitting on a big try. Was hung out to dry at YR last week and could be overlooked at the windows tonight. Has the gate speed to be on the point or in the 2-hole, best to respect.
6-Fire Start Hanover (3-1)-Will probably be fine on the big track, if doesn't work too hard to get the top. Maybe Dunn takes back as there is some speed inside. Should be a major player but not sure how the trip will work out and may not offer any value.
Race 13
2-Gamblin Mo (6-1)-Has only 1 win in 7 starts but has faced some very tough company. This colt has the motor to roll by late and should be a square price. If the pace is solid a picture could be in the cards as long as Callahan can put into striking range.
4-Crunch Hanover (7/2)-Crunch might be the fastest colt in the field and has the gate speed to control the race. Should have a good shot to cash the biggest check but has never raced on a larger oval.
0.50 Late Pick 4

September 18, 2020
Jeff Siegel’s National Best Plays for Friday, September 18, 2020
Belmont Park – First Race. Post time: 1:00 ET
1 – Zainalarab (8/5)
Diminutive daughter of War Front was a $1 million Keeneland yearling purchase and makes her debut in this six furlong sprint that ushers in the fall Belmont Park season. She’s done everything asked in the morning for a barn that hits at a strong 21% with first-timers while displaying excellent quickness, so we’re expecting a winning effort first crack out of the box from this War Front filly out of Monmouth Oaks winner Delightful Joy. At 8/5 on the morning line we can use her in the win pool and as a rolling exotic single.
*
Belmont Park – Sixth Race. Post time: 3:36 ET
6-Lowcountry (8-1)
Here’s a good price chance in this maiden special weight juvenile filly turf miler. This Frosted filly from the Grade-2 placed Lemon Drop Kid mare Kiawah Cat has done all of her preparation at Fair Hill training center, and based on her consistently good workout times she may have enough ability to spring a surprise in this wide open affair. The M. Stidham barn has solid stats with first-timers, and the barn’s go-to rider K. Carmouche takes the call, so let’s try the Godolphin homebred at or near her morning line of 8-1.
*
Golden Gate Fields – Seventh Race. Post time: 4:15 PT
5-Scherzo (5/2)
English-bred filly makes her U.S. debut after a couple of promising all-weather runs overseas, and if she duplicates either one of those efforts today the daughter of Golden Horn should earn her diploma in this one mile grass affair for distaffers. She gets Lasix and high-percentage jockey K. Frey following a relatively brief work tab that indicates the M. Padilla-trained sophomore arrived in the Bay Area fit and ready. The barn does very well with these types of imports, so at 5/2 on the morning line she should be able to outclass the competition.

Weekly Bankroll Builder: September 18 Gulfstream Park Late Pk4
September 16, 2020 | By Brian Nadeau
With the Stronach 5 potentially canceled this week due to the wildfires in California, let’s focus our attention at Gulfstream Park and look at Friday’s late Pk4(R6-R9), which looks like the perfect example of the “less is more” play that you might be able to hit several times.
*** Please take note that this analysis is done upwards of 48 hours in advance, so obviously weather, track conditions and especially late scratches can and will have an effect. Please check back around 4pm Friday for an update. ***
Race 6: 2yof MSW at 6 furlongs
A modest group of juveniles means #5 SPEEDING (5-2) is going to be tough to beat, as she was a close 3rd on debut on the turf when bet to 9-5, is bred to love the main (Into Mischief out of a Tapit mare), and has a big experience edge over what looks like her main rival. And that brings us to #10 GLADYS (7-2), who is a full-sister to the immortal Rachel Alexandra and has some decent works for her debut, though note her dam Lotta Kim is now 19 and hasn’t really produced anyone else of consequence, so you might want to tab the tote on this one (as with any of the other firsters).
Pk4 A horses: 5,10 (listed in order of preference)
Barboza isn’t really known for his debut runners but he’s a decent enough 13%, so #6 STRONG AZTECA (5-1) is worth a look off a slew of works, and with main Zayas (40% here for the barn) riding. Let’s also use #9 PENS STREET (15-1), who has a quartet of sharp works for Crichton, who is a solid 17% on debut, and this outside attack post helps too.
Pk4 B horses: 6,9
Potential B add-ins: #7 Make a Scene (12-1), #4 Najwa (8-1), #2 Toolegittoquit (12-1), and #8 Mastering Bella (6-1)
Race 7: 3up AOC (25k/N1X) at 5 furlongs (turf)
If there’s a spread race in the sequence this is it, as several have shown enough firepower to be a player on their best day. With that being said, I’ll go with the class and price of #2 IKEISGREAT (8-1), who has been at CD and Kee on the turf and run well, and should like this summer GP group a lot better. Clearly the horse to beat is #9 FULLY LOADED (5-2), who shows two very fast wins since the Sanchez claim and drew the perfect outside attack post for his pressing style. You get upside and a price with #1 GETTHE MUNY BERNIE (9-2) and heavy speed with #5 GO GONE GONE (7-2), so let’s use them on the top line as well.
Pk4 A horses: 2,9,1,5
I’m a bit against the fast 8/16 race that #6 SOLDOLLIE (8-1) and #7 SUBLIE APPEAL (5-1), as both might regress off what were out of the ordinary runs, and don’t have a lot of speed either. The cutback might be too sharp for #10 JOYFUL HEART (6-1), but he has some back class and has been running well, so he’s worth inclusion too.
Pk4 B horses: 6,7,10
Potential B add-ins: NONE
Race 8: 3up 6.25k claimer at 6 � furlongs
It looks like Barboza has #5 JAMAICAN (3-1) after a fast chasing 2nd at the level last time, and a repeat would make him tough from close range. If he doesn’t get it done then #3 STARSHIP APOLLO (5-2) is next in line, as he was just a head back last time, will be closing, and might like the extra half-furlong a bit more.
Pk4 A horses: 5,3
The secondary contenders seem a cut below, though #2 STAR JUANCHO (6-1) would be a player off his last dirt run, which came against better, while #1 KAREN’S COVE (5-1) wasn’t too far behind the top pair last time.
Pk4 B horses: 2,1
Potential B add-ins: #9 Spa Jazz (15-1)
Race 9: 2yof 40k MCL at 1-mile (turf)
The finale looks like easy pickings for #3 YAKA (2-1), who was 2nd, beaten just a neck, in an MSW last time and meets a terribly weak crew (on paper) while taking the biggest drop in racing.
Pk4 A horses: 3
There are two firsters who you have to use, as neither #6 SILVER SKY SMOOTH (5-1) or #11 MS. MELANIA (4-1) will have to be stars to have a say, though the former has some slow works, and the latter drew terribly, which is why they are on the second line. The experience of #8 LEARNT (15-1) makes her worth a look, and that debut 5th at the level wasn’t that bad, in a race about as fast as Yaka’s on figures.
Pk4 B horses: 6,11,8
Potential B add-ins: NONE
The tickets:
Main Ticket: 5,10 with 2,9,1,5 with 5,3 with 3 = $8 (play multiple times)
Leg 1 B Backup: 6,9 with 2,9,1,5 with 5,3 with 3 = $8
Leg 2 B Backup: 5,10 with 6,7,10 with 5,3 with 3 = $6
Leg 3 B Backup: 5,10 with 2,9,1,5 with 2,1 with 3 = $8
Leg 4 B Backup: 5,10 with 2,9,1,5 with 5,3 with 6,11,8 = $12

MLB | Twins vs Cubs
Play on: Cubs -127 at 5Dimes
PICK - Chicago Cubs -127
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 974
This is too good a price to pass up with the Cubs at home. Chicago will have a red-hot Kyle Hendricks on the mound. In his last 3 starts Hendricks has a 1.66 ERA and 0.969 WHIP. A guy that normally is all about control, is getting a lot of swing and misses. Hendricks has 17 K's in 21 2/3 innings over those last 3 starts.
Hendricks is also a guy you want to back at home. Last year he had a 2.04 ERA at home compared to a 5.02 ERA on the road. It's more of the same in 2020. Hendricks has a 2.27 ERA in 5 home starts and a 4.50 ERA in 5 road starts.
Rich Hill will go for the Twins and while he's got strong numbers, he hasn't only made 6 starts and is not going deep in games. He's only thrown 26 innings total this season. He's not exactly coming into this game in prime form with a 4.05 ERA and 1.425 WHIP in his last 3 starts.
Lastly, I think this is a bit of a tough spot for Minnesota. While they are just traveling from one side of Chicago to the other, that was a MASSIVE 4-game series they just played against the White Sox. Wouldn't surprise me if they are a little flat to open up this series. Give me the Cubs -127!
