Big Pete's "Play of the Day":


Race 3:


(4) RESERVE CURRENCY is a Brown runner that doesn't get much attention. It's best to watch the board as when this guy takes money, he runs well. I'm guessing the move back to a dry track raises his speed figures and we shoud get this one in without any moisture. Jose likely stalks with Bezos and Victory Way duking it out.


I’ll use (2) Whittington Park and (3) Film Star underneath.


$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 3, 4 Cost $ 18.00



We’ll also use (4) Reserve Currency in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.


(1A) Dripping Gold or (6) Daunt for me in the 4th.


$ 7.00 Daily Double 4 w/ 1, 6 Cost $ 14.00


 

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:


Race 8:


(2) TIMBUKTU almost got there at this level last time so we'll use. Jose takes over and I'm expecting a similar effort that Irad gave him. (11) MORE THAN WORK will get overlooked. He ran some decent speed figures on the synthetic but it hasn't transferred to the turf yet but has hit the board in all four attempts when on the grass. (12) KINGFISH STEVENS has found the grass to be his thing. Three strong attempts with Castellano up on two of them. If Javier can work out a trip from out there, they will be tough. (5) FORWARDLY has had some time off and makes his 2023 debut for Brown. They ship him down from the Spa so he may be kicking down the barn and they need to run him instead of waiting for the big dance.


$ 7.00 WPS 12 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 5, 12 w/ 2, 5, 11, 12 Cost $ 18.00


Race 9:


(1) CANDY MAN ROCKET was close to a single for me. He won the G3 RunHappy without breathing to hard and he meets a very suspect field for this G2 Nerud. Jr and Mott continue to produce and I'm expecting another big run. (3) WEYBURN is the danger. The cutback to 7F is his strong point here as his receord at that distance is pretty good. Jose taking over is the other reason this guy will be strong late. I'll take a shot with them and hope Candy is off his game a little bit. (2) THREE TECHNIQUE was a top sprinter a couple of years ago and it looks like he could be back in form. They ship in and convice Castallano to ride.


$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 3 w/ 1, 2, 3, 7 Cost $ 18.00



Race 10:


(1) AULA was gaining last time and posted a high speed figure for this group. A must use today. (6) YOUR MISSION was affected at the start last time and was left with a lot to do. Still made up a lot of ground but couldn't last. Another must use for me. I'll lean on the Pletcher runner (2) MIRACLE MIKE who tried turf last time and liked it. Look for Jose to work out a trip and come and get them late. (4) METAMORPHOSES will be a price and can easily hit the board.


$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 2 w/ 1, 2, 4, 6 Cost $ 18.00
