Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Some key scratches could work in favor of either Stanhope or Gaslight. They are now the only speeds that want a part of the front early. I’m hoping they hook up, so I’ll try for a closer to come and get them. (7) PROPENSITY used to have some zip but has recently taken the stalking position. That should work in his favor today. He gets a little weight off with Gomez up and they will look for a seam to run them down though the lane.
Both (4) Stanhope and (6) Gaslight look solid underneath.
$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Exacta 7 w/ 4, 6 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use Propensity in R3 and try to cash in on a DAILY DOUBLE play.
(2) Union Lake and (4) Liana B look solid in the 4th
$ 7.00 Double 7 w/ 2, 4 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 7:
(3) CLASSIC VINMAN clearly can’t go long so Schosberg may have used the last two to build staying power for this 6F dash. The drop and Saez showing up tells me that this gal is live today. (1) CANDY MONET could be the filly to beat as she has higher speed fig’s then this group. She also drops but must work out a trip from the rail with this large group. (7) HANDLE THE TRUTH put back to back closing finishes together before not taking to the mud last time. With most of these struggling through the lane, she might be the only one moving forward late. She’s worth a shot at the 15:1 ML. It’s now or never for (6) BELLA DOMENICA. Rudy summons Irad and drops her a notch.
$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 3, 7 w/ 1, 3, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
There’s nothing clever for me in this 10F marathon on the grass. I’ll lean on the two favorite’s in this short field (4) LADY ROCKSTAR shipped to the US and won rather easy in her 1st try here. Now Irad shows up and he chooses this filly over (6) AMERICAN BRIDGE. Brown substitutes Prat so I’m sure he’s ok with that. Both look a tick better than the rest so I’m guessing one or both will show up and move us along in our Pick 3.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 5.00 Ex 4, 6 w/ 2, 4, 6 Cost $ 20.00
Race 9:
(1) HILLIARD was bet hard in his 2022 debut and came up short. Irad is brought in and with some consistent works in the morning jogs. He looks poised to win this one today. (5) OUR COUNTRY has similar speed figures over the winter and now heads East for a try. Weaver will have him ready the only question is if he’s good enough. I think he is. (4) MONTATHAM has had many tries at this level and has come up just short. A little time off may be just what he needed. He was a neck back of High Tide last Nov and that one dominated this bunch back in April. (8) RESTLESS SPIRIT also returns from a vacation and likes to pick up checks. They are worth including with Jose up.
