Selections for Saturday January 24
.
Race 1
#2 Big Guy Forever - Kakaley won't hurt, but a dry track will be the biggest plus
#1 Currently Flying - looks sharp, but can't give a call to a horse that wins less than 10%
#9 Take Down Hall - Aaron batting over .500 with Loney horses, likes a dry track as well
#5 Dayton Hanover - a touch above his best class, but has been racing well
Race 2
#4 Dublin Dollars - we all liked him last week, no reason to get off
#1 El Tigger - 14 year old fits better in this class, still has enough early foot to protect his position
#2 Charming Comer - had more trot last week than we've see, good barn and high percentage trot driver #9 Hoofner - has enough speed, could drag along for a piece
Race 3
#3 Mr Cadillac - liked him last week, should improve even more
#4 Painted Speed - badly beaten favorite now adds lasix
#2 Blueridge Rising - hasn't been out for a while, usually competes against better
#9 Elm Grove Gerson - more consideration with a spot on the gate, doesn't do much without the lead
Race 4
#5 Go Again - should be gone again Best bet
#4 Willis Coder - best draw for a month, really like this four year old
#9 No Risk - show money from this spot last week
#1 Sultan Desbi - the driver change will help, but not enough in my estimation
Race 5
#9 Rocco's Revenge - horse sharper than his lines indicate, Merriman a big plus Upset Special
#2 Buzz Hershey - impressed me last week, these are a bit tougher
#1 Knob Hill Splash - first post in this class, will compete for the front end early
#5 Black Oliver - solid contender in this class, first up is a tough way to win
Race 6
#1 Squeaky Springs - tough call but Kakaley batting .427 on Wengerd horses
#2 Pine Hill Jewel - always the bridesmaid lately
#5 Victory Connection - very consistent, should cash another check
#4 Sand Mirage - really like this one, but JD chose off and then there's the break last week
Race 7
#5 Rapid Dialing - should make the front, will cruise if unchallenged early
#2 Sparks Of Gold - moved back up after excellent closing effort
#9 The Long Goodbye - has really been racing well from every post
#7 Armadas Rocket - moved up without a victory, Kakaley will give him the trip
Race 8
#2 Extremely Fast - should be fast leaving again, not beaten by a pocket sitter tonight
#5 Category Six - hasn't had a post for a month, has really sharpened up
#3 Rella's Trick - put on a show last time Matt drove him, the price will be right tonight
#1 Equalize - always dangerous this far inside
Race 9
#4 Celebrity Yank - has never had a post in this class, should be braver after nice win Value Play
#5 Bustamante - made it look easy last week, can make the jump
#1 Wyatt - class dropper has been backing up lately, I'm unconvinced
#9 ABs Speedy Hall - really like this one for the future, needs a post and driver
Race 10
#6 Sam's Delight - wins a 1/4 of his starts, 3rd Nfld start, Aaron at the helm Value Play
#7 Artistic Dreamer - love this five year old, big efforts against some tough competition
#1 Zakman - has the rail for a hot barn, hasn't shown much lately
#4 Saucy Brown - not sure where to rate this one, first time claiming tag
Race 11
#2 American Tribute - sharp effort last week, the one to beat tonight
#9 Lucca's Revenge - stung early last week, hasn't missed a check for months with Kakaley
#1 R Cowboy - never misses this far inside
#4 Master Wheels - hasn't missed a check from the inside
Race 12
#3 Oh Gee Whiz - should improve even more
#1 Dan Chaz - gutty and has the rail
#4 Lakeside Al - makes a living in this class, just never wins
#2 Heez Ruthless N - a little over his head here, but has Aaron and the good post
Race 13
#5 J T Stena - have never seen this one look better
#3 Slade Gram - look at the horse's middle half, now we know why Aaron chose him
#4 BJ's Tune - a new Ryan at the helm, perhaps over played tonight
#2 Spires Trick - hasn't done much lately, but not much else to like
Race 14
#1 Glitter For Prez - Burke trainee probably ships back east after tonights victory
#9 Fox Valley Jammin - racing well at this level, wins too often to ignore
#2 Allamerican Viper - chased a monster home last week, like the top two better
#6 Dontgetintheway - way over his head in the east, may wake up in his third Nfld start
Good Luck
