Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 6-8). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":


Race 3:


(2) NEUSCHWANSTEIN got to the front midstretch last time but couldn't outlast the winner. That was a better group than he faces today so he has a better chance at holding on today. He's been popular in the claiming game recently so he seems to be catching everyone's eye.


I’ll use (3) Good Reunion and (7) My Cool Hand Luke in the exacta.


$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 3, 7 Cost $ 18.00


We’ll also use (2) Neuschwanstein in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.


(2) Malu or (3) Elliptic in the 4th.


$ 7.00 Daily Double 2 w/ 2, 3 Cost $ 14.00


 

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:


Race 6:


(6) AIR SHOW, (7) QUICK HAMMER and (3) HONORARY DEGREE will dominate the win pool as all three look solid in here. I'll focus a little more on HONORARY DEGREE as he recently switched to the Atras barn and they found his speed figures that he's been runningduring the summer months. He should speed first time out for them and they cut him back a little fr this.


$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00


Race 7:


(4) ST. BENEDICTS PREP will get most of the attention as Rice and Lezcano team up here. The 1M may have been too long for this filly so the cutback makes sense. A must use and possible single to lower your wager BUT, I want to give (6) CAPTAINSDAUGHTER a shot at this price. She's been facing the top NY Breds for most of her career and has hit the board 57% of the time. Her Iroquois run back in October would make her a major contender here. With some other speeds signed on to keep St. Benedicts prep company, the race can set up the Captain to finish strong late.


$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex Box 4, 6 Cost $ 14.00



Race 8:


(7) PIPES AND DRUMS drops the most in here so I'll use but try to beat him as the 1M seems too long for him. (8) MR. SWAGGER won for fun first time out for Potts. A similar effort is all he needs today. Both (1) VENGE and (4) FRONT MAN have the same stalking tactic and either can wake up today. As a savor, I'll include Rudy's recent claim (5) WINTER'S GHOST. The Ghost has hit the board 50% of the time and Rudy will only help that.


$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 8 w/ 1, 3, 5, 8 Cost $ 18.00
