10-Race card on this final Sunday in July. Big performance by Epicenter in the Jim Dandy sets us up for the count down to the Travers. We have all the races covered and I will be condensing my plays to just the numbers. I will be looking to take down the early double (Races 1 & 2) as well as a spot pick 3 (Races 5-7). Big Pete will be playing a couple of his "Plays of the Day" and look to close the card with a late pick 3 (Races 8-10). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
With speed coming from all directions in here, I can’t allow stalker, (3) KNOWING GLANCE and Saez get away at 4:1ML. Maker was a little too ambitious this year as she tried the Ruthless and an Optional Alw field. The last time was more like it as she lost by a neck to a stronger group. She’s won at this 7F so the distance should not be an issue. Looks like the connections have found the right field.
Either (2) Let’s Be Clear or the other Jimmy Creed (6) Dawnland can get the 2nd spot
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Exacta 3 w/ 2, 6 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use (3) Knowing Glance in R3 and try to cash a DAILY DOUBLE play.
We’ll use (2) Bold Journey and (7) Tap’N De Bank in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Double 3 w/ 2, 7 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 4:
(2) BOLD JOURNEY started his career with some promise and almost held on for the Gander. He showed speed again in April but something went wrong and backed up or maybe he didn’t like the mud. Today he gets Jose back and they will likely gun to the lead from the rail draw. That’s where he likes to be. He appears sharp as as he turned in a bullet work just 4 days ago for this.
(7) Tap’N De Bank just missed and (8) Unique Unions has a late kick that can get him there. Either one for 2nd.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Exacta 2 w/ 7, 8 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
The Manhattan field clearly got caught napping as they could not reel in the front runner that day. Brown will try to do the same today with (1) L’IMPERATOR as they switch to Manny to dictate the fractions. (2) ARKLOW is the class as this now 8 year old, comes off the long layoff but may have found a softer group than he’s used to to offset that break. They lure Irad off the two Brown starters so the chatter must be good. A must use for this classy runner. I will try to beat them with (3) HIGHLAND CHIEF. He wants distance and proved the 11F is what he wants by winning the Man Of War. They weren’t catching Tranhuvan last time but gets another crack at it today.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 1, 3 w/ 1, 2, 3 Cost $ 12.00
Race 9:
Could Pletcher possibly be using the favorite as a rabbit for (8) MY PRANKSTER? He seems better fit to handle this 6.5F sprint better than Corniche. There are other speeds and Johnny V will mount a late charge to make it interesting. The other one that benefits from some early heat is the new shooter (5) ACCRETIVE. He ran lights out in his maiden score. It’s a big ask facing G2 runners after a maiden score but he was No Joke dominating last time. (2) GUNITE looks to be back in form as last year Hopeful winner returns to the Spa for a Re-Pete performance in this Amsterdam. The slight cut back will make this Gun Runner tough to pass late.
$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 2, 8 w/ 2, 3, 5, 8 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
Three runners exit the July 8th event where all three finished within a length of each other
(5) MARTINEZ w/ Rosario will take money as will (6) MAJESTIC JOHNSON and Irad. They will be tough in here as will Castellano and (10) BOINTHEBACK. They closed fast but had to work out a trip from the rail draw that day. The move to the outside post should help them avoid trouble and then tip wide coming through the lane. I can’t resist (7) SHARP SENSATION in this spot. He already crossed the finish line first against this level but was DQ’ed. Now he back at this level and he’s bringing Saez with him. I don’t see us getting 6:1ML on this guy but even half that will be a bargain. All in!!
