Have not had much free time to handicap or post as of late.
The company I am employed by is having another phenomenal year of growth,
up over 20% thus far this year with an increase in profits by 100%. Hard to imagine
considering this is a company that’s business is in the rubber industry which has been dying in the U.S.. Their secret above all else customer service – who could imagine that would be the secret to success. When today the U.S. business plan is to eliminate service to maximize profits.

Race 1
#9 Mighty Greystone – has talent – but a lightly raced 2 yr old from the 2nd tier is tough to bet on
#2 Pat’s fantasy – has a very good shot and the value will most likely be there – owner trainer combo!!
#4 Sam’s Desire – fits well with this bunch- another words weak field where anything can happen

Race 2
#6 Marvel Sahbra – will be hard to beat
#5 Polo Jenn – not quite as good as she was lat year- but good enough right now to contend
#4 Look To Book – tough call here – very flat in last – gets Stahl- and she would crush these if ready

Race 3
#3 Tori’s Angel – Sentimental pick – not sure she is up to the task- but would like to see her win
#1 Acadia’s Sis – Will Be on the lead at the ¼, ½, & ¾ the question is will she hang on in the stretch
#4 Wandering Dream – may just be sitting on a big effort

Race 4
#4 Jenna’s On Jodi – tries yet another driver – maybe Wyatt can get her home
#1 Town Toots – gets Aaron – 2:5 in a super race does not look appealing to me
#2 Surf N Usa – gets Kakaley- and yet that may not be enough- time will tell

Race 5
#4 Chocolate E Clair – maybe Stahl can get this one home
#3 Sophia – logical choice and hard to go against in here
#2 Forever Purr – could get a great trip and get up a late – consider

Race 6
#9 Bytemetoni – similar effort to last and this one should repeat
#1 Sassy Jewel – appears to be in top form- if she is she crushes these
#7 Allthatnabagofchip – 2yr old filly with big talent – should be closing late

Race 7 (tread lightly as there are 3 in here with suspect connections)
#9 Livinintheleftlane – in very good form and this is a level she handles well – 2nd tier a concern
#2 Goldies Girl – moves up off a crushing win – can she handle the move up?
#8 Iamgonnabeachyou – never count her out in the 4’s- tough trip in last- in tough the prior

Race 8
#6 Jackie’s Gem – lightly raced 3 yr old- coming off a short rest- qualifier was pretty good for this level
#9 Paris H racing well right now – just needs to sat somewhat close and make a well timed move
#4 Swift Samantha – got rolling a little to late in last – catches a little tougher group this week

Race 9
#5 Shesa Partygirl – last mile was big – losing Aaron is a concern
#3 Mary My King - in top form right now – could repeat
#6 Bluebird Special – put it all together in last – just might have more upside to this one

Race 10
#6 Sophisticated Katy - appears to have some big time talent – stick with this while she climbs the ranks
#4 Rock-N-Patty – another young one with talent- throw out last and she fits well here
#1 Girly Toys – inside post

Race 11
#3 Broadway Petera –lost to Gordie How in last and prior just missed getting up late
#4 Colossal Sahbra – tough trip in last at a lower level – jumps back up
#7 I Am Samsational – opens were to tough- drops but draws poorly

Race 12
#2 Peachfuzz - burned a lot of money with early break- could make amends
#9 Sidewalk Sleeper - drops to the lowest level since the claim – qtr move could make her a winner
#3 Village Catera – hits the basement and picks up Corky – just might hit the ticket to add value

Race 13
#1 Voo Doo U Too – no Goldies Girl to contend with
#9 Sharon’s Future – looks to be back in top form – 2nd tier is a big concern- can she relax long enough??
#2 Friendly Kathy – form looks to be on the downswing needs to step it up to have a shot

"Race 7 (tread lightly as there are 3 in here with suspect connections)"

Cryptic comment there, Jay.

1) Blodgett?
2) ?
3) ?

[jay44224]

Maybe so- but I am sure you know. It really is only cryptic to those that are naive or have an I. Q. like Forest Gump. Others may pretend not to know- but are they doing nothing more than insulting others intelligence. You make the call.

Hypothetically speaking - if someone were to take the time and research a particular group of owners whether it be individuals or not and cross them to the trainers they use at different venues, add in a little surveillance and track shipments of horses in an out, you just may find a connection to some banned individuals calling the shots.

We absolutely agree on that. In the interim, it creates havoc for pure handicapping, because WE never know when a particular horse is loaded. Well, MOST of us don't know.

Watch then warm up – if they are on the bit and their eyes are bulging out like a Pekinese then they may have got a little of Santa’s Magic Dust

Was the horse that won the 7th race one of the suspects? It paid, what, 71 bucks or so.

[jay44224]

Will not say on a message board - but anytime anyone wants to talk face to face. As i had mentioned once in an earlier post when there is a race (especially a super race) and their are at least three from what I consider a common barn regardless of who the trainer is on paper there is a wagering strategy I use (can't call it handicapping) to hit some nice mutuals.
