Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
I'm not too excited about the colts and geldings that have already run. The look like career maidens. That leads me to (1) FAIR TO MIDDLIN. This firster doesn't need to be a killer and the Laoban's have proven they can run. I like the Proud Citizen underneath to get this one on a good start.

$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 7:
There’s two that stand out and two outside shots. (4) RIGBY picks up Irad and has two solid runs on this course. The slight cut back to 7F seems right and there is speed to set her up. (6) FINEST WORK also cuts back and has two 3rd place finishes against this level. Prat rides for Weaver as she moves back in against her NY Bred rivals. (7) DUFRESNE has a win on the grass and two strong efforts against open company. She goes back on L and takes a drop in class. She’s worth a shot at this 10:1 ML. (9) PALACE GOSSIP was a solid 2nd in her 2022 debut against similar. A Re-Pete of that effort puts her right there again.
$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 4, 7 w/ 4, 6, 7, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(3) PROVOCATEUR is a potential single IMO but we’ll use another as a saver. He handled similar back in march gets his regular rider back. There’s speed to his outside to set up his closing kick. (2) RUNNINSONOFAGUN is my wise guy pick. He picks up Saez and sports a big bullet on Big Sandy. This Gun Runner cuts back to 6F where he’s two for two.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 2, 3 w/ 1, 2, 3 Cost $ 12.00
Race 9:
There’s two that stand out and two outside shots to close out this week. (2) LAUGH AND PLAY takes the necessary drop and picks up Irad. She showed some speed at a 1M so maybe they go today as well. Cox also drops. (8) DIAMANT DAMHSA and moves back to the turf. Franco is hot so I’m expecting improvement here. (10) DIAMOND STAUS adds L1 and prefers turf. Jose steps in and she may be the speed of the speeds. (12) LEGEND’S SONG is the only firster that interests me. Weaver and Prat team with some turf breeding.
