  • Sunday's top plays

    YTD: +$31.00
    All plays rated at $10 to win and place


    Churchill Downs Race 1 Play #2 Steelyeyed
    Ran second and third in last two at this exact same level. Track's leading trainer switches to key rider as horse turns back to its favorite distance.

    Churchill; Downs Race 10 Play #7 Indy Groove
    Filly just missed at this class and distance last out. Two solid works since. Speed figures tower over competition. Solid trainer.

    Belmont Park Race 6 Play #5 Yingyingying
    Pick is for TURF ONLY. While this maiden is 0-for-10, three of its last four tries have been in stakes competition. California based ships to New York to face easier. Top SoCal rider Mike Smith, in town for another race, gets the mount.

    Belmont Park Race 8 Play #3 Miss Coronado
    Pick is good for TURF OR DIRT. Possible value here despite BobbyFrankel-Jerry Bailey combination. Rested since April loss at Churchill Downs to a strong allowance horse, this horse returns to stakes competition after already winning at a higher level on dirt. Frankel horses always seem to improve in summer. Unusally quick workouts for a Frankel horse. Primed for breakout effort.

    Belmont Park Race 9 Play #4 Dark Whisper
    Pick is for TURF ONLY. Four year old makes first start of year off an eight month layoff. Meets typically non-descript field of New York breds. Trainer awesome off the layoff.

    Arlington Park Race 6 Play#9 Awesome Glory
    Makes second start of career after getting strong speed figure in finishing second first time out. Was more than seven lengths clear of third place horse. If rains come, breeding aweome for wet track. Likely short price but faces rather light competition. Wins wire to wire.


    Yesterday's recap: yuk. One scratch, five plays with one second place and four off the board, screwing up a sterling ytd record with a -$87 on the day. Still up for the year against heavy racetrack juice.

    All plays based on $10 to win and place with criteria being best value for likely winners.

      Also, Yingyingying has different jockey? Does that change your opinion? Thanks hc

        Recap

        Close, but no winning cigar.
        Miss Coronado scratched, as noted.
        Steeleyed ran second as did Yingyingying (both seem to have seconditis), the Arlington horse ran rotten, and Dark Whisper ran third at 9-1. Indy Groove was an easy winner but at a modest price.
        Total wagered: $100
        Cashed: $73 (all plays rated $10 to win and place)

        YTD: +$4

        Still up for the year against racetrack takeout, but only baaaaaarely.

        Next report Saturday.
