College football Week 6 odds
These are the current College football Week 6 odds for the premier games on the schedule, as of September 28.
(7) Miami at (1) Clemson odds
Opening line
Clemson -16, Over/Under 65.5
Why the line moved
Clemson is already down to -14.5 on Monday night at FanDuel, where early bettors are jumping on the underdog. Miami is taking 73 percent of tickets and money on the spread, and the Hurricanes have even greater support on the moneyline, at 77 percent of bets/97 percent of dollars. And the total plunged from 65.5 to 60.5 Monday, despite a large majority of tickets and money on the Over.
(18) Virginia Tech at (9) North Carolina odds
Opening line
North Carolina -3.5, Over/Under 60.5
Why the line moved
This line was volatile early, jumping from Tar Heels -3.5 to -6.5 in a matter of minutes Sunday, then receding to -4.5 by lunch hour Monday. Through Monday night, Carolina is taking 62 percent of tickets and 54 percent of money on the spread. The total went from 60.5 to 61.5, then fell to 57.5 Monday afternoon, and it looks like there's some sharp play here: 75 percent of tickets are on the Over, but 63 percent of money is on the Under.
(12) Tennessee at (3) Georgia odds
Opening line
Georgia -14, Over/Under 44.5
Why the line moved
By Monday afternoon, Georgia had already dialed down to -12.5 at FanDuel on two-way action. Through Monday night, Tennessee is taking 57 percent of bets, while Georgia is getting 58 percent of dollars.
(22) Texas vs Oklahoma Odds
Opening line
Oklahoma -2.5, Over/Under 70.5
Why the line moved
The eye-popping total stands out most for the neutral-site rekindling of the Red River Rivalry, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The total is already up to 72.5 at FanDuel, with 89 percent of bets and 97 percent of money on the Over. On the spread, Oklahoma is down to -1.5 Monday night, although early tickets and money are both running about 2/1 on the Sooners.
Texas Tech at (24) Iowa State Odds
Opening line
Iowa State -13.5, Over/Under 62.5
Why the line moved
Iowa State is down a point to -12.5 at FanDuel, and betting splits through Monday night indicate why: 62 percent of tickets and 53 percent of dollars are on Texas Tech. And early moneyline bettors apparently expect a letdown from the Cyclones, who as 7-point home underdogs upended Oklahoma 37-30 on Saturday. Texas Tech is attracting 54 percent of moneyline bets and 98 percent of moneyline cash.
(2) Alabama at Ole Miss odds
Opening line
Mississippi +23.5, Over/Under 73.5
Why the line moved
Big favorite Alabama is up a point Monday to -24.5 at FanDuel, with ticket count 2/1 and money 4/1 in favor of the Crimson Tide. And, like Oklahoma-Texas, a huge total already has heavily tilted action to the Over, at 87 percent of tickets and 98 percent of money through Monday.
Arkansas at (13) Auburn odds
Opening line
Auburn -15.5, Over/Under 51.5
Why the line moved
Auburn is up to -16.5 Monday night at FanDuel, taking 58 percent of early tickets and 66 percent of early money on the spread. The total is already down to 48.5, thanks to 83 percent of tickets/92 percent of money showing on the Under.
Missouri at (16) LSU odds
Opening line
LSU -18.5, Over/Under 53.5
Why the line moved
Louisiana State is already up 2 points at FanDuel, sitting at -20.5 Monday night. Sixty-three percent of bets are on the Tigers, but money is closer to two-way, with LSU garnering 54 percent of early cash.
(3) Florida at (20) Texas A&M odds
Opening line
Texas A&M +5.5, Over/Under 57.5
Why the line moved
Early bettors don't think much of A&M's home field, with Florida taking more than 90 percent of early point-spread tickets and money. That prompted FanDuel to move the Gators to -7.5 early Monday, before moving back to -6.5.
Florida State at (5) Notre Dame odds
Opening line
Notre Dame -21.5, Over/Under 53.5
Why the line moved
Notre Dame is down a point Monday night to -20.5 at FanDuel, but the Fighting Irish are taking 87 percent of early tickets and 94 percent of early dollars. Similarly, the total is down 2 points to 51.5, despite the Over attracting 83 percent of bets and 85 percent of cash.

4th Quarter Covers - Week 5
Joe Nelson
Glancing at the scoreboard won’t tell you the whole story in most games.
Here are some of the games that went down to the wire relative to the spread in the fourth quarter last week in the first weekend of October in college football.
Each week there are several teams that cover despite not necessarily deserving it, as well as other teams that played much better than the final score shows.
Florida (-15½) 38, South Carolina 24
This game was tie 14-14 well into the second quarter but the Gators would score the next 24 points to lead 38-14 with just under five minutes to go in the third quarter. South Carolina would earn a long field goal at the end of the third and then got an early fourth quarter interception.
A pass interference call put the Gamecocks in range to score again and while they had to convert two 4th downs before cashing in, they eventually delivered to cut the margin to 10 points with just over 10 minutes remaining. Florida wouldn’t threaten while South Carolina would convert two more 4th downs to compile 74 yards on its final drive but without adding points.
West Virginia (+2) 27, Baylor 21
Baylor scored with just over a minute remaining to force overtime with a 14-14 tie in a rare defensive battle in the Big XII. Turnovers were a factor in keeping points off the board more than great defense however. In overtime West Virginia went first and opted to go for it on 4th-and-1 rather than kicking field goal, with that decision paying off with a touchdown on the next play.
Baylor scored on its first play to match the Mountaineers at 21-21. The 2nd OT drive for Baylor lasted just one play as well with Charlie Brewer intercepted. West Virginia needed only four plays to find the end zone to complete the minor upset, posting a solid production edge but surviving four turnovers.
TCU (+10½) 33, Texas 31 (62)
The Horned Frogs delivered another upset in this series but there was late drama for many on the total with a price that swung anywhere from 59½ to 63½ depending when and where it was played. In a back-and-forth 4th quarter the Frogs went up by four with four minutes to go putting the scoring at 62.
Texas appeared ready to take the lead but would eventually fumble on 1st-and-goal from the TCU 1-yard-line to wind up still short on the scoreboard.
TCU was in a dangerous position but got a huge run on 3rd-and-7 for some breathing room. TCU would face a 4th down still pinned deep and opted to take a safety after running the clock out, putting the scoring from 62 to 64.
SMU (-2) 30, Memphis 27
SMU went from the underdog to the favorite in this game and that shift appeared accurate with a 24-3 edge early in the second quarter. Memphis would rally with back-to-back long touchdown drives and a 56-yard field goal before halftime to trail by only four. SMU would have to settle for a short field goal on its first possession in the second half and Memphis was able to tie the game with an 87-yard touchdown drive completed late in the third.
SMU appeared poised to go back in front, but the Mustangs fumbled in the red zone. The offenses disappeared from there with each team having consecutive punts.
Memphis eventually crossed midfield with under three minutes to go but Brady White fumbled on a sack and SMU was able to convert a 3rd-and-11 to set-up a field goal with nine seconds left.
Kansas State (+1) 31, Texas Tech 21
Kansas State led 17-7 late in the third quarter, flipped from a slight favorite to a closing line underdog coming off last week’s big win over Oklahoma. Texas Tech put together back-to-back long touchdown drives to lead 21-17 with 11 minutes to go but Kansas State needed only three plays to go back in front with a 24-21 edge at the 10-minute mark.
The Red Raiders were a threat to answer but Henry Colombi was intercepted in the end zone. Both teams had to punt on subsequent possessions and facing 3rd down with just over two minutes remaining Kansas State connected for a 70-yard touchdown to put the game away.
Texas Tech had a significant yardage edge in a game where both teams had to replace their injured starting quarterbacks.
Florida Atlantic (-5) 21, Charlotte 17
The Owls trailed 10-0 at halftime but scored three touchdowns in a span of just over six minutes in the third quarter to lead 21-0. Charlotte would convert a 4th down and add a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to trail by only six and then stopped FAU going for it on 4th-and-1 in the red zone.
Looking for a late score to win the 49ers reached the FAU 16-yard-line in the final minute but took back-to-back sacks and came a few yards short on 4th-and-15 to end the game.
Iowa State (+7½) 37, Oklahoma 30
Looking to bounce back from last week’s upset the Sooners had a 17-6 lead not even 20 minutes into this game. Iowa State would complete a long drive before halftime to stay in it and then was in front by the end of the third quarter 23-20.
The Sooners appeared to get it together scoring the first 10 points of the final frame to lead by seven on a spread that bounced between 7 and 7½. A huge kickoff return for the Cyclones changed that equation and after a pass interference call Iowa State was in the end zone to tie the game.
Oklahoma and new quarterback Spencer Rattler looked rattled with an ugly drive that included a penalty and a sack and the Sooners had to punt with six minutes to go and the score tied.
The Cyclones took full advantage of their rising momentum with a four-play touchdown drive to lead by seven. Oklahoma would have a new set of downs with about a minute to go from the Iowa State 34 but for the second straight week, Rattler suffered a late interception as the Sooners are now 0-2 in the Big XII.
Western Kentucky (-7) 20, Middle Tennessee State 17
This game was tied at 10-10 at halftime and the Hilttoppers took a 13-10 lead late in the third quarter with a 53-yard field goal. A productive MTSU drive across midfield ended in a punt for a touchback and after matching 3-and-outs Tyrrell Pigrome led a great drive for Western Kentucky taking more than six minutes off the clock in a 13-play effort.
A 4th down conversion was included as Pigrome eventually connected for a touchdown pass to put the Hilltoppers up 10 and past the favorite spread with six minutes remaining.
Asher O’Hara and the Blue Raiders have disappointed this season but after getting a 4th down conversion via penalty and another on an O’Hara rush, the Bluer Raiders punched in the spread-stealing score with just over two minutes to go.
LSU (-21) 41, Vanderbilt 7
LSU rebounded with a 21-7 edge at halftime but the underdog stayed in the game as the Tigers settled for two 3rd quarter field goals, leading by 20.
Another field goal seemed possible before Myles Brennan hit a 29-yard touchdown strike to put the Tigers past the number. Vanderbilt was in position to answer reaching the LSU 6-yard-line with a new set of downs but on 2nd down Ken Seals was intercepted in a crushing blow for those taking the points. With relative ease and still throwing often with a big lead, LSU went down the field to make it a 41-7 game, where the final score held, keeping a total of right around 50 just ‘under’ as well.
Georgia Southern (-18½) 35, UL-Monroe 30
Neither the spread or the total was impacted with a wild finish in this Sun Belt clash but it was a noteworthy final few seconds, and surely a few people had attractive moneyline tickets on the big underdog. Georgia Southern led 35-17 late in the third but back-to-back scores put the Warhawks within five, missing a PAT on the first of those two touchdowns.
Down five, UL-M would have the ball back with about two minutes remaining and Colby Suits would lead the team into scoring range. He converted a 4th-and-6 with his legs and then on the game’s final play he scampered to the goal line stopped just short.
Time ticked away and the offense wasn’t able to clock it in time to continue while no review was called for.

The Owls trailed 10-0 at halftime but scored three touchdowns in a span of just over six minutes in the third quarter to lead 21-0. Charlotte would convert a 4th down and add a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to trail by only six and then stopped FAU going for it on 4th-and-1 in the red zone.
Looking for a late score to win the 49ers reached the FAU 16-yard-line in the final minute but took back-to-back sacks and came a few yards short on 4th-and-15 to end the game.
Iowa State (+7½) 37, Oklahoma 30
Looking to bounce back from last week’s upset the Sooners had a 17-6 lead not even 20 minutes into this game. Iowa State would complete a long drive before halftime to stay in it and then was in front by the end of the third quarter 23-20.
The Sooners appeared to get it together scoring the first 10 points of the final frame to lead by seven on a spread that bounced between 7 and 7½. A huge kickoff return for the Cyclones changed that equation and after a pass interference call Iowa State was in the end zone to tie the game.
Oklahoma and new quarterback Spencer Rattler looked rattled with an ugly drive that included a penalty and a sack and the Sooners had to punt with six minutes to go and the score tied.
The Cyclones took full advantage of their rising momentum with a four-play touchdown drive to lead by seven. Oklahoma would have a new set of downs with about a minute to go from the Iowa State 34 but for the second straight week, Rattler suffered a late interception as the Sooners are now 0-2 in the Big XII.
Western Kentucky (-7) 20, Middle Tennessee State 17
This game was tied at 10-10 at halftime and the Hilttoppers took a 13-10 lead late in the third quarter with a 53-yard field goal. A productive MTSU drive across midfield ended in a punt for a touchback and after matching 3-and-outs Tyrrell Pigrome led a great drive for Western Kentucky taking more than six minutes off the clock in a 13-play effort.
A 4th down conversion was included as Pigrome eventually connected for a touchdown pass to put the Hilltoppers up 10 and past the favorite spread with six minutes remaining.
Asher O’Hara and the Blue Raiders have disappointed this season but after getting a 4th down conversion via penalty and another on an O’Hara rush, the Bluer Raiders punched in the spread-stealing score with just over two minutes to go.
LSU (-21) 41, Vanderbilt 7
LSU rebounded with a 21-7 edge at halftime but the underdog stayed in the game as the Tigers settled for two 3rd quarter field goals, leading by 20.
Another field goal seemed possible before Myles Brennan hit a 29-yard touchdown strike to put the Tigers past the number. Vanderbilt was in position to answer reaching the LSU 6-yard-line with a new set of downs but on 2nd down Ken Seals was intercepted in a crushing blow for those taking the points. With relative ease and still throwing often with a big lead, LSU went down the field to make it a 41-7 game, where the final score held, keeping a total of right around 50 just ‘under’ as well.
Georgia Southern (-18½) 35, UL-Monroe 30
Neither the spread or the total was impacted with a wild finish in this Sun Belt clash but it was a noteworthy final few seconds, and surely a few people had attractive moneyline tickets on the big underdog. Georgia Southern led 35-17 late in the third but back-to-back scores put the Warhawks within five, missing a PAT on the first of those two touchdowns.
Down five, UL-M would have the ball back with about two minutes remaining and Colby Suits would lead the team into scoring range. He converted a 4th-and-6 with his legs and then on the game’s final play he scampered to the goal line stopped just short.
Time ticked away and the offense wasn’t able to clock it in time to continue while no review was called for.

Al Cimaglia: Northfield Park Early Pick 4 Analysis
October 10, 2020 | By Al Cimaglia
Tonight, there is a 16-race card set to go at Northfield Park and the headliners are state bred 2-year-olds competing in the Ohio Fair Championships. The $1 Early Pick 4 begins is Race 7 and it will be my focus.
Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 7
2-Designers Specs (1/1)-Is a perfect 13-13 and has raced at Nfld one time before tonight. Hasn't trotted faster but than 158.3 but may have to do so to keep the unbeaten streak alive.
4-Boujee Girl (3-1)-Winner of 7 races in 12 starts has a 159 mark at DTN. Shows only one break and appears to have the best chances of knocking off the chalk.
Race 8
2-Shehitthehighnote (3-1)-Comes off a sharp win starting in the 2nd tier. Competitive filly has won 14 of 32 starts and should be in the mix versus this crew.
6-Tiny Bit Of Sky (12-1)-Has been used hard in last 2 starts at Dela and has the gate speed to get a close up seat. Filly likes to win and has taken pictures in 15 of 43 starts.
7-Treasurethosechips (7-1)-Has won 2 of 5 starts at Nfld and comes off a win here on 10/3. Like #6, knows how to win notching victories in 13 of 31 starts.
Race 9
2-Electric Ridge (9/5)-Drops and fits better with this group. Has taken a 156.2 mark at Nfld, winner of 6 of 18 this year should be a player.
3-Cell Service (7-1)-Was a winner in first start for new barn, right here on 10/6. Will probably need a lifetime best to win tonight, but will take a shot the upswing continues at a nice price.
Race 10
5-Mr Ds Rock (2-1)-At Nfld on 10/6 got on the engine and didn't look back to win. Pet Rock 3-year-old will be difficult to beat if gets the top and controls the pace. Last score was in a quick 152.1.
6-Cody Hanover (7/2)-This is the other possibility in what appears to be a 2-horse race. Has shown a 151.3 race time. Could be right behind #5 and catch a nice pocket trip. Does have a 0-3 record at Nfld but that could change tonight.

Jeff Siegel’s Santa Anita Analysis & Wagering Strategies
*
Specifically designed for the rolling exotic player, Jeff Siegel’s “Daily Analysis and Wagering Strategies” isolates those horses that should be included in daily doubles, pick-3s, pick-4s, pick-5s, and the pick-6.
*
The selections are posted at 6:00 a.m. and updated later in the morning to reflect late scratches and changes (approximately 10:30 a.m.).
*
*
Grade Descriptions: Grade A=Highest degree of confidence; Grade B=Solid Play. Grade C=Least preferred or pass; Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play.
RACE 1: Post: 1:00 PT Grade: B
Use: 3-Star Sailor; 7-Gator Shining
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: Star Sailor has been preparing for his debut at Los Alamitos so he’s “out of sight, out of mind” with regards to workout evaluations, but the son of Union Rags did bring $275,000 as a yearling so he’s obviously an attractive individual and highly-regarded. The J. Sadler barn has solid stats with first-timer starters, many of whom run better than their a.m. times might indicate, so with “go to” jockey U. Rispoli taking the call let’s put him on top in this maiden special weight sprint on grass for juveniles. Gator Shining, a $45,000 purchase at the OBS April sale where he previewed very nicely in :21 2/5 under mild urging only, ships up from San Luis Rey Downs for R. Baltas, another trainer that has good stats with debut runners. The son of Noble Mission certainly is bred for grass, so at 4-1 on the morning line he has to be included in rolling exotic play.
*
*
RACE 2: Post: 1:36 PT Grade: B
Single: 5-Big Mama Sue
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: Big Mama Sue showed some moxie in her debut in late July at Del Mar, lacking early speed but then finishing strongly but too late before galloping out in front in a highly-rated maiden claiming dash. She was subsequently scratched a few weeks later so this will be her first outing in about 10 weeks, but her recent work tab looks healthy and at this extended sprint trip in a five-runner affair the daughter of Mr. Big should be capable of producing a winning late kick. Additionally, the P. Aguirre-trained filly is comfortably drawn outside and makes a favorable jockey switch to J. J. Hernandez, so as the co-second choice at 5/2 on the morning line we’ll make her a win play and rolling exotic single.
*
*
RACE 3: Post: 2:07 PT Grade: X
Single: 5-Flat Out Joy
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: Flat Out Joy is listed at 4/5 on the morning line in this $40,000 maiden claiming sprint for older fillies and mares, and while there’s no value at that price the R. Ellis-trained 4-year-old really has little to beat. This will be her second start off a long layoff – she appeared to be a short horse when fourth in straight maiden company at Del Mar in August – and with that race under her belt coupled with a warranted class drop into a seller she really shouldn’t miss the opportunity. It a race that we’ll otherwise pass, we’ll make the daughter of Flat a short-priced rolling exotic single.
*
*
RACE 4: Post: 2:40 PT Grade: B
Use: 2-Over Attracted; 7-Leggs Galore; 8-Dulce
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: We’ll spread the first leg of the Pick-6, a state-bred first-level allowance grass sprint for fillies and mares. Leggs Galore has improved dramatically since switching to turf and looks well-placed for another major effort after breaking her maiden and beating state-bred foes in a pair of solid performances at Del Mar. This is an open affair and clearly is a step up in class, but the lightly-raced daughter of Bayern is solid in the speed figure department and shows two recent bullet workouts over the local training track to have her on edge. Dulce, comfortably placed outside and likely to draft into a good stalking position, won her debut at Del Mar and then saw her Beyer speed figure improve 13 points when finishing a willing third vs. similar last month, both of those starts sprinting on grass. The daughter of Twirling Candy gets an extra half furlong to work with and should be doing her best work from the quarter pole home. Over Attracted is winless in three starts since being imported from France but she’s from a top flight barn, switches to top grass jockey U. Rispoli, and sports the always dangerous route to sprint angle along with a recent bullet workout. Look for the Kentucky-bred daughter of Atreides to be a dangerous late factor.
*
*
RACE 5: Post: 3:11 PT Grade: B-
Use: 3-Miss Bennet; 6-Daniel the Dreamer
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: This restricted (nw-2) $16,000 claiming sprint for fillies and mares drew just six starters; we’ll try to survive and advance using just two. Miss Bennet, now in the N. French barn, adds blinkers for the first time and turns back from a couple route-races, so it’ll be interesting to see how she performs. On the positive side, her only victory was accomplished sprinting over the Santa Anita main track – yes, it almost two years ago – so maybe under these conditions she can snap to life. At 5-1 on the morning line and in a short field she looks to be worth a bit of a gamble at that price. Daniel the Dreamer, a dangerous shipper from Golden Gate Fields, makes her first start since being claimed by J. Wong (an astounding 35% with this angle) while returning to conventional dirt. Her runner-up effort over the Pleasanton main track two races back charts well with these, and with R. Gonzalez taking the call (34% with a powerful ROI with this barn) she’s the one to beat as the 2-1 morning line favorite.
*
*
RACE 6: Post: 3:42 PT Grade: B-
Use: 3-Miss Megan; 4-A Melis; 8-Hotitude
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: This is a split of the fourth race, a state-bred grass sprint for fillies and mares. Miss Megan has been away since February but when last seen she was winning a similar affair on dirt and based on pedigree there’s no reason she can’t be just as effective on grass. There’s nothing flashy about her recent work tab, but at least it’s healthy and she does hail from a barn that is solid with comebackers, so let’s put her slightly on top at 5/2 on the morning line. Hotitude earned a career top number when third sprinting on grass at Del Mar in August and with another forward move today should be in the fray throughout. Given the moderate projected pace flow, the K. Mulhall-trained filly projects be on or near the lead throughout and have every chance. A Melis certainly is a major player despite a nearly two month layoff following a modestly-rated two-turn maiden win at Del Mar. Actually, she might be just as good if not better sprinting but will be making her first start on grass. If she can transfer her dirt form to the lawn, she’ll be right there.
*
*
RACE 7: Post: 4:13 PT Grade: B-
Use: 1-Brittle and Yoo; 3-Lady On Ice
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: Five fillies and mares meet in this six furlong main track starter’s allowance affair with morning line favoritism (at 9/5) going to Brittle and Yoo. The daughter of Include returns to dirt (her preferred surface) after finishing third in a pair of grass dashes at Del Mar, and if she can negotiate a decent stalking trip from the rail the J. Sadler-trained filly should be capable of producing a winning late bid. Lady On Ice could find herself as the controlling speed in a race that projects to have a soft opening quarter mile. After breaking her maiden by more than five lengths in just her second career start last month at Del Mar, the R. Baltas-trained daughter of Archarcharch certainly has a room for further improvement, and with three nice drills in the interim she’s probably the one to fear most. These are the two we’ll be using in our rolling exotics with a very slight edge on top to Brittle and Yoo.
*
*
RACE 8: Post: 4:44 PT Grade: B (Leg 1 of the Golden Hour Pick-4)
Use: 1-Nardini; 4-Just Grazed Me
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: Just Grazed Me won last year’s renewal of the California Distaff H. but it’s a question whether she’s as good now and she was in 2019. The veteran mare went a bit stale last spring and was stopped on, but with more than four months off she could easily fire a big shot fresh. The work tab looks moderate but DRF reports that she had a sharp unrecorded drill last weekend, going five furlongs in company in 1:00 flat. Far superior to her rivals if she shows up with anything close to her best stuff, the P. D’Amato-trained daughter of Grazen is listed as the 6/5 morning line favorite. Bay Area shipper Nardini is lightly-raced, improving, and probably most effective as a late-running turf sprinter. She’ll need another significant forward move to win at this level but may have it in her, especially in a small field from a favorable inside draw, so at 8-1 on the morning line we’ll include her in our rolling exotics.
*
*
GOLDEN GATE FIELDS (Leg 2 of the Golden Hour Pick-4)
Race 8: Post 5:00 PT Grade: B-
Use: 3-Great Ulysses; 6-Pour On the Cole; 7-Boyson
Forecast: Southern California shipper Great Ulysses drops sharply in class and may have found his proper level in this restricted (nw-2) $12,5000 claimer over a mile. The Union Rags colt, who broke his maiden at first asking around two-turns at Indiana Downs, has sprinted in his last three outings and should be sharp on the stretch out in a race that he projects as the controlling speed. He may be worth a gamble at 10-1 on the morning line. Also worth including in your rolling exotics are Pour On the Cole, who is re-equipped with blinkers in his first-off-the-claim for J. Wong (an amazing 35% with this angle) and Boyson, a dangerous deep closer with good form over the local all-weather surface.
*
*
RACE 9: Post: 5:15 PT Grade: B (Leg 3 of the Golden Hour Pick-4
Use: 2-Master Recovery; 3-Full Draw
(View Video Analysis)
Forecast: Full Draw, back sprinting, back on dirt, and finding weak band of bottom-rung maiden claimers, looks well-placed to earn his diploma as the logical 9/5 morning line favorite. The J. Sadler-trained gelding turned in a sharp recent five furlong workout (1:00 1/5) to have him right on edge, and with just four starts on his resume the son of Union Rags certainly has more right to step forward than most of the others in the field. Master Recovery removes blinkers in his first start since being gelded and could leave his previous form behind his first outing since June. The 3-year-old son of Bodemeister has been routing most of this career and has earned reasonably competitive speed figures for this level so with the drop back in trip he’s worth consideration at 6-1 on the morning line.
*
*
GOLDEN GATE FIELDS (Leg 4 of the Golden Hour Pick-4)
Race 8: Post 5:10 PT Grade: B
Use: 1-Gambini; 3-Kenjilookslucky
Forecast: Del Mar shipper Gambini drops into a claimer for the first time and has recent speed figures that are better than par for this maiden $20,000 level. He’s guaranteed a good ground-saving trip from his inside draw and should be able to produce a winning late bid. Kenjilookslucky returned off a long layoff at Del Mar in maiden $20,000 sprint last month and was always far back, but the Lookin At Lucky gelding stretches out to what should be a much more comfortable distance while removing blinkers, so there’s reason to believe he’ll run considerably better in this spot. His only other outing – a straight maiden turf miler try at Ellis Park last year, wasn’t really all that bad. The C. Dollase-trained 3-year-old is a “must use” at 15-1 on the morning line.

Eddie Olczyk’s Saturday Spot Plays
October 9, 2020
1/ST and NBC Sports handicapper Eddie Olczyk is back this weekend with a trio of horses he’s tabbing in New York and Kentucky. Edzo is steering clear of the major stakes at Belmont and Keeneland and focusing on blue-collar runners at attractive prices.
BELMONT PARK
Race 2 // 12:54PM ET // Allowance // 6 Furlongs (Turf)
#7 SUMMER AT THE SPA (5-1)
On a stakes card that has short fields and big favorites, there aren’t a lot of places to attack in New York. My best bet comes early with a filly adding blinkers and moving route-to-sprint. Even-money morning line favorite Robin Sparkles appears likely to end up in a speed duel, setting the table. Win bet.
KEENELAND
Race 3 // 2:12PM ET // Maiden Claiming // 6 Furlongs
#7 MAJOR WAGER (20-1)
With wet conditions expected in Lexington this weekend, this longshot could be capable of pulling the upset over a wet track. She earned a much bigger number in the slop at Indiana Grand than she did on dirt, and trainer Anna Meah popped a 14-1 winner Wednesday at Keeneland. Win-place bet. Exacta wheel 7-ALL as well as ALL-7. Daily double 7-6 parlaying our picks.
Race 4 // 2:45PM ET // Claiming // 7 Furlongs
#6 HOP KAT (5-1)
His experience and win over a sloppy track in April at Gulfstream is expected to come in handy. It’s a wide-open race with a 7-2 morning line favorite who has never been on anything but fast footing. Win bet.

Race of the Week: Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont
October 8, 2020 | By Jeremy Plonk
$250,000 GRADE 1 JOCKEY CLUB GOLD CUP AT BELMONT PARK
Saturday, October 10, 2020
The Lead:
Belmont Park's Super Saturday of Breeders' Cup preps includes the 2-year-olds in the Grade 1 Frizette and Champagne, turf fillies and mares in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl and the Classic division players in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup. The 1-1/4 miles Gold Cup goes for its most discounted purse since Affirmed won it 1979, and that's certainly impacted its depth and quality. While it may not be a Gold Cup of Curlin and Cigar, Skip Away or John Henry, what about 2020 is? I was set to pass the race until I handicapped it; vulnerable favorites are like catnip to a horseplayer.
Field Depth:
TACITUS and MYSTIC GUIDE are Grade 2 winners, the former against all ages, the latter against 3-year-olds only. NAME CHANGER has won at the Grade 3 level. HAPPY SAVER is a listed stakes winner making his graded debut. PRIORITIZE is Grade 1-placed in search of his first stakes win.
Pace:
With no confirmed front-runners in the field of 5, jockey intent will be key. Given the elbow start midway on the clubhouse turn for 1-1/4 miles races at Belmont, expect Irad Ortiz Jr. on HAPPY SAVER to be aggressive from the gate and utilize the rail advantage this trip creates. TACITUS or NAME CHANGER figure to pursue closest. This race can and should be won on or near the lead.
Our Eyes:
TACITUS has the resume, winning races in the Big Apple like the 2019 Grade 2 Wood Memorial and July's Grade 2 Suburban. But he's been a relative moneypit. He's won just 1 of his last 9, and is 1-for-5 as the favorite in that span. I didn't see any way he'd lose the Grade 2 Suburban against a substandard field and he delivered his best performance in some time. But then he was back to his old self in the Grade 1 Woodward when decent, but not great, Global Campaign led him on a merry-go-'round. He's 1-for-4 at Belmont, 1-for-4 this year and 1-for-5 at 1-1/4 miles. All of that equals the Suburban. At what figures to be a short price, I'll bet he doesn't have an encore.
Three-year-olds MYSTIC GUIDE and HAPPY SAVER are the alternatives. They get in at 122 pounds (4 less than the elders). And I'm clearly in the camp of one over the other.
MYSTIC GUIDE and his regal pedigree finally delivered in the Jim Dandy when he bested a modest field that included eventual Preakness longshots Liveyourbeastlife and Jesus' Team. While the latter did come back to run third at Pimlico, he was beaten double-digits by the winner and didn't give the Jim Dandy any rousing endorsement. John Velazquez winds up on MYSTIC GUIDE after Jose Ortiz opted to stick with TACITUS. Curiously, it was Velazquez who actually got the most out of TACITUS when he piloted him in the Suburban. MYSTIC GUIDE will have to be kept closer to the pace than he's used to and may be taken out of his best kick. Dam Music Note was stellar here at Belmont.
But I strongly prefer unbeaten HAPPY SAVER. Visually he's looked like a future star in each of his first 3 starts. He traveled to Laurel for a Preakness 'Win & You're In' victory in the Federico Tesio, but I never felt confident he'd wind up in the final jewel of the Triple Crown. Trainer Todd Pletcher loathes to run horses in the Preakness for whatever reason; but you can look at his rampant record in the Derby and Belmont and make that deduction without hesitation. Pletcher saw a short-field JC Gold Cup forming and found a very easy Grade 1 spot, much easier than facing Authentic, Art Collector and eventual winner Swiss Skydiver at Old Hilltop. The 1-1/4 miles should not be a problem with a ground-saving trip, favorable track configuration and fact that his papa Super Saver won the Kentucky Derby over the distance. HAPPY SAVER has BRIS late pace figures of 95, 94 and 99 in his 3 starts, which should be plenty competitive with these late if he's handed the early lead as expected.
Most Certain Exotics Contender: TACITUS hasn't missed a superfecta sans a trip to Saudi Arabia.
Best Longshot Exotics Contender: In a 5-horse field, this isn't really relevant. You're not playing tris and supers when the payout math works this poorly in your favor.
Sending it in ($100 bankroll): $80 win HAPPY SAVER looking for 2-1 odds or more. $20 daily double SUPER SAVER to TAMAHERE in the Race 10 Sands Point. If the price on HAPPY SAVER dips below 2-1, the full amount goes to the daily double.

$250,000 GRADE 1 JOCKEY CLUB GOLD CUP AT BELMONT PARK
Saturday, October 10, 2020
The Lead:
Belmont Park's Super Saturday of Breeders' Cup preps includes the 2-year-olds in the Grade 1 Frizette and Champagne, turf fillies and mares in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl and the Classic division players in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup. The 1-1/4 miles Gold Cup goes for its most discounted purse since Affirmed won it 1979, and that's certainly impacted its depth and quality. While it may not be a Gold Cup of Curlin and Cigar, Skip Away or John Henry, what about 2020 is? I was set to pass the race until I handicapped it; vulnerable favorites are like catnip to a horseplayer.
Field Depth:
TACITUS and MYSTIC GUIDE are Grade 2 winners, the former against all ages, the latter against 3-year-olds only. NAME CHANGER has won at the Grade 3 level. HAPPY SAVER is a listed stakes winner making his graded debut. PRIORITIZE is Grade 1-placed in search of his first stakes win.
Pace:
With no confirmed front-runners in the field of 5, jockey intent will be key. Given the elbow start midway on the clubhouse turn for 1-1/4 miles races at Belmont, expect Irad Ortiz Jr. on HAPPY SAVER to be aggressive from the gate and utilize the rail advantage this trip creates. TACITUS or NAME CHANGER figure to pursue closest. This race can and should be won on or near the lead.
Our Eyes:
TACITUS has the resume, winning races in the Big Apple like the 2019 Grade 2 Wood Memorial and July's Grade 2 Suburban. But he's been a relative moneypit. He's won just 1 of his last 9, and is 1-for-5 as the favorite in that span. I didn't see any way he'd lose the Grade 2 Suburban against a substandard field and he delivered his best performance in some time. But then he was back to his old self in the Grade 1 Woodward when decent, but not great, Global Campaign led him on a merry-go-'round. He's 1-for-4 at Belmont, 1-for-4 this year and 1-for-5 at 1-1/4 miles. All of that equals the Suburban. At what figures to be a short price, I'll bet he doesn't have an encore.
Three-year-olds MYSTIC GUIDE and HAPPY SAVER are the alternatives. They get in at 122 pounds (4 less than the elders). And I'm clearly in the camp of one over the other.
MYSTIC GUIDE and his regal pedigree finally delivered in the Jim Dandy when he bested a modest field that included eventual Preakness longshots Liveyourbeastlife and Jesus' Team. While the latter did come back to run third at Pimlico, he was beaten double-digits by the winner and didn't give the Jim Dandy any rousing endorsement. John Velazquez winds up on MYSTIC GUIDE after Jose Ortiz opted to stick with TACITUS. Curiously, it was Velazquez who actually got the most out of TACITUS when he piloted him in the Suburban. MYSTIC GUIDE will have to be kept closer to the pace than he's used to and may be taken out of his best kick. Dam Music Note was stellar here at Belmont.
But I strongly prefer unbeaten HAPPY SAVER. Visually he's looked like a future star in each of his first 3 starts. He traveled to Laurel for a Preakness 'Win & You're In' victory in the Federico Tesio, but I never felt confident he'd wind up in the final jewel of the Triple Crown. Trainer Todd Pletcher loathes to run horses in the Preakness for whatever reason; but you can look at his rampant record in the Derby and Belmont and make that deduction without hesitation. Pletcher saw a short-field JC Gold Cup forming and found a very easy Grade 1 spot, much easier than facing Authentic, Art Collector and eventual winner Swiss Skydiver at Old Hilltop. The 1-1/4 miles should not be a problem with a ground-saving trip, favorable track configuration and fact that his papa Super Saver won the Kentucky Derby over the distance. HAPPY SAVER has BRIS late pace figures of 95, 94 and 99 in his 3 starts, which should be plenty competitive with these late if he's handed the early lead as expected.
