Fillies and Mares Friday

[cliff]

Selections for Friday December 26. Some more quick picks before I'm off on holiday

Race 1

#4 Clarksville Jazz- claimer in a cheap condition, Kakaley helps the cause
#3 Classy Sarah - 1st time lasix & back on the rail, 1:56.3 at Scioto this year
#5 Silly N Sassy - in against lesser than Dessies Girl & that crowd, sharp as the nine year old gets
#1 Cathy - D - not sure why the ML chalk, the rail the only thing going for her

Race 2

#4 Fiesty Kind Of Luv - sign of life last week, Wyatt most under rated driver at Nfld, doubt ML will hold Value Play
#7 B B Balanced Babe - easily the choice if she had an inside post
#1 Bytemetoni - fits with this group & has the rail, will break your heart & bankroll
#2 Isn't She Precious - not a threat to win anymore, but cashes checks when she draws this far inside

Race 3

#2 Look To Book - no try last week, out in front tonight
#3 Cheetah Feet - confident last week, could upset if Bookie not quite ready
#1 Time By Sevens - quality mare gets new barn, driver, and lasix
#4 Passing Lane Penny - looks like a repeat of last weeks finish

Race 4

#2 Attack On The Town - on the drop, is Joey starting to look like a real driver? on is it my imagination
#5 Dessies Girl - over bet again, streak has to end
#1 Dandy Candy - claimer among the conditioners, rail will help
#4 Back Home Again - won four back, best of the rest

Race 5

#8 Ms Fun - best horse, worst post (gotta love it ) the driver overcomes
#3 Vale Breeze - with a field this bad, just bet drivers
#1 Lonely Me - it's the driver thing again plus the shortest way to go
#5 Timecando - zero for the season not encouraging

Race 6

#2 Doowrah's Stand - may lead here, this field has trouble passing
#6 Stormy Gray Sea- normally competes against better, Kakaley helps, post doesn't
#5 Jo-Ju-Jan - tough trip last week, another claimer
#3 Free For All - guess

Race 7

#4 Theresa's Princess - mucho pace last week, last chance at a decent price Best Bet
#5 My Little Tizzy - layoff is the put off
#3 Towner's Big Sadie - draws well for a change, still waiting for a driver
#6 Sweet Ashtin - sharp and moving up

Race 8

#2 Breeze On By N - the one spot where a 12 year old looks good, claimer in real cheap Value Play
#1 Moovin N Groovin - picking this horse second shows how weak this group is
#4 Edition J B - another who could retire and not be missed
#4 AB's Trick - needs a check

Race 9

#1 Mickey Lavec - been waiting to give this one the call, forgive the break Value Play
#4 Bibi Vai Vai - always the bridesmaid lately, not worth the price
#6 Krissy K - owns this class from the inside, the six isn't exactly inside
#5 Brilliant Vision - has enough speed for this group, seldom in contention to win

Race 10

#6 Weekie Wachie - third time lasix, first time Deaton
#9 A Golden Rose - I know what you're thinking, but she won last week from this spot
#7 Electric Highlight - finally moved her up, a good sign, more consideration with an inside post
#4 Sweetie Sue Cam - unproven at this level, but I'm running out of choices

Race 11

#3 Autumn Tides - liked her last week before the scratch, on board again tonight Value Play
#2 Rhiannon O Rhye - gets the lucky draw again, sharp as she gets
#1 Sand Alexandra - another speedball, has been short for months
#5 Beach Girl - beaten favorite struggled last week

Race 12

#3 Solid Belief - beaten favorite, looks poised to win one Value Play
#1 Raging Waters - second start for new barn, Kakaley plus the rail
#4 R Little Shmoopy - went right down the road last week, these aren't that much tougher
#2 Town Toots - Santa only comes around once a year, Toots got her gift last week

Race 13

#1 Gram Of Gold - crushed a similar group two starts ago
#5 Polo Aub - no excuse last week
#2 Scootoovernkissme - hunch
#3 Goldies Girl - would be more confident if I saw any moves from her

Race 14

#2 Game Portia - expected more from her last week, no excuse tonight Deserving Favorite
#1 Janica - third start off the scratch, will defend her position
#4 Quenelle Hanover - would be all over this one if she had any early foot at all
#3 Maidensailer - she tries, a top driver might have more success


Good Luck

Last week you said " Stonebridge Falcon- 3rd start back, as good as any of these C'mon, just one time for me, Robin ek you said " This week from post 8 you probably tossed him real quick after handicapping the program , with a covered trip from the back he might hit the ticket if closers are enjoying a hard track bias !

It's already raining in Cleveland, so look for an off track tonight. Whether it will be good, or sloppy, depends upon the amount of rain, obviously.

Oh Yes he did(STONEBRIDGE FALCON comes in second, a nice 2-8 EX

[trackrat]

Just got back from the track and I had that 2-8-3 trifecta which paid a very nice price ($393 for a $1) for the 1-1 favorite winning the race. I also had a $1 ex 2-8, which paid $50.

Came right back with a $2 win ticket on #5 Brilliant Vision in the 9th race for $84.

Been betting conservatively while slumping.
