Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Grass or dirt, I don't think it matters for (7) LADY VALENTINE to dominate this group. Saez won't be in a hurry to go by until they line up for the home stretch. We'll use her on top and take a shot of (6) Tekila too toast our exacta hit. Firster (5) Join The Dots hasn't done anything wrong yet so we use that one as well.
$ 10.00 Ex 7 w/ 5, 6 Cost $ 20.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 4:
They threw (6) SPEAKER'S CORNER to the wolves against the big boys in the last. They now get a little more realistic in this spot. Most of the main contenders have speed and I think it will take a toll on them opening up for the two longshot closers to come late for 2nd.
$ 10.00 Ex 6 w/ 3, 4 Cost $ 20.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
(4) GREATEST LOVE jumps off the page in this NW3L claiming sprint. With the other speed out, Carmouche can gun this one to position themselves to control most of the way. (9) GUNS BLAZING ships in to faces slightly better but that doesn't faze Saez. He'll put her in the right spot and hope for the best. (4) LEFT LEANING LUCY is who I'll lean on to stalk and come with her run.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 3, 4 w/ 3, 4, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
I can't get past both of Chad Brown's entries in this 7F turf Stake. (11) VALUE PROPOSITION wasn't that far behind his scratched stable mate two back and then dominated lesser foes in Jersey. He'll likely go off as the favorite in here. I prefer the new shooter from this barn. (4) EMARAATY. He returned from a two year absence to finally put it all together in his third attempt this year. He's been working together with Flavius posting the same times and is a much better price. I'll include longshot (9) MAXWELL ESQUIRE as he was moving well before he caught some traffic in the shorter Lucky Coin at the Spa. Clear sailing could light up the board. (5) PULSATE won that Lucky Coin and if the 7F doesn't bother him, he can be a factor late.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 4, 11 w/ 4, 5, 9, 11 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
(12) SARATOGA SPIRIT draws in with a decent gate bullet on the 7th. If Castellano can save some ground somewhere, this guy will be dangerous. (11) PALS ALLY ran a little when they switch to the turf or she just is starting to figure this game out. Lezcano quietly takes this mount and they cut her back to 6F. She's bred to like both surfaces so I'll take a shot with this gal. (3) SLOW CROSSING is a firster from Rudy. With Saez sticking around, maybe this gal has some ability and Rudy wants the right guy up. (6) EUDAIMONIA has the right connections to come out running. The 3:1 ML indicates to me that there must be chatter on this filly.
$ 7.00 WPS 11 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 6, 11 w/ 3, 6, 11, 12 Cost $ 18.00
