Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:


Fillies from NY go 7F in this East View, and I'll try to come from just off the pace with (5) STRACA to get up. Her first two tries look awful, but she's trying to figure out this game. She then put it all together last time and drew off nicely. She gets a little speed early to set her stalking style up well, so I'll look for her to get going turning for home.


We'll use (2) Boston's Phinest and (4) Bernieandtherose underneath for the exacta


$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Exacta Box 2, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00


We'll use (5) Straca in R3 and try to cash in on the Double in R4


(3) Limit Up and (5) Kid Billy look solid in Race 4


$ 7.00 Double 5 w/ 3, 5 Cost $ 14.00


 

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:


Race 7:


(9) ARIANA RYE is the one to beat IMO. She was moving well in her last start and just missed. I don't trust the Rice runner as she beat lesser foes last time. She will provide some speed to set up the closers. (6) TOP OF THE TABLE is sharp and can handle the dirt, but she prefers grass so they may be tuning her up for that. (3) CAROL T is the sleeper. She's capable with her closing kick. If they come back to her, she will be trying late.


$ 7.00 WPS 9 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Exacta 9 w/ 3, 6 Cost $ 14.00



Race 8:


(4) REDDINGTON has the speed to be a problem in here. They switch to an aggressive jockey to wire them. (11) TREATY OBLIGATION is the hot one right now. Rice picked him up in August, and he's been dominating. I'll ride him until he fails. (3) SKYLANDER and (6) GENERAL BANKER have some races that beat these. If they show up, they can do it.

 

$ 7.00 WPS 11 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Exacta 4, 11 w/ 3, 4, 6, 11 Cost $ 18.00



Race 9:


(7) VEKINDA figures to be strong in this finale. He towers over all of these in the speed figures. This barn and this jockey are rolling, so it looks like more of the same today. I'll include two outsiders in case Manny falls off his mount. Both (1) ROOFER and (9) SKYTOWN have a race that gives them a shot. They both offer better value, so we'll include.


$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Exacta Box 1, 7, 9 Cost $ 18.00
