A Little Turf; A Little Jackpot

Saturday is for Horse Racing.  Today we look at a couple of very nice stakes races. A 3 year old Turf stakes for talented fillies at Churchill and the Jackpot for 2 year olds at Delta Downs.

Churchill Downs Race 9 {Mrs. Revere~G2~1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old~Fillies~Stakes}
A distictive grade two Turf race with eleven talented fillies expected to make the start.  The battle for the victory may come down to three.  Aruna (Dominguez / Motion) may have the most upside potential making her third North American start at a longer route.  She holds the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three stellar workouts.  Fugitive Angel (Napravnik / Shepperd) can be expected to challenge with the highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two healthy workouts.  Also looking to challenge in the stretch will be Snow Top Mountain (Gomez / Proctor) with the highest overall speed number run over the Churchill track, a decent last out speed number off a longer route and four robust workouts.  Seeking to catch a piece of the purse prize will be Gitchee Goomie (A. Garcia / Violette) with the fourth highest last out speed number at a longer route and three tenacious, peaking workouts.  Also looking for a piece of the purse pie will be Stars To Shine (Husbands / Frostad)  This Woodbine invader is coming off a nice last out speed number off a longer route, has a two race progression, and two hearty workouts.  Let's play wonderful Churchill Downs.

$2 SHOW:  #5 Aruna.
$2 SHOW:  #6 Fugitive Angel.
10 CENT Superfecta:  #5 Aruna / #6 Fugitive Angel / #7 Snow Top Mountain / #4 Gitchee Goomie, #9 Stars To Shine.

Delta Downs Race 7 {Jackpot~G3~1 1/16 mile~2 year old~Stakes}
A very good field of ten will go to the gate for this annual affair.  Bug Juice (Castellano / Levine) looks to have a slight edge moving to a route from the highest last out speed number.  Bug Juice should be part of the speed with a four race progression and four fierce workouts.  Blue Laser (Bridgmohan / Casse) will be the prohibitive favorite with two wins at this distance, a three rae progression, and four strong workouts.  Classic Legacy (Talamo / Baffert) will be a chief challenger with a decent last out speed number and three tough workouts.  Sweet Ducky (Bravo / Breen) will be moving to a little longer route with the fourth highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two significant, peaking workouts.  Rush Now (Albarado / A. Dutrow) will be in the mix with the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three hearty workouts.  Let's play the Jackpot at Delta Downs.

$2 SHOW:  #6 Bug Juice.
$2 SHOW:  #8 Blue Laser.
10 CENT Superfecta:  #6 Bug Juice / #8 Blue Laser / #2 Classic Legacy / #9 Sweet Ducky, #4 Rush Now.

 















Friday's Results
Hollywood Park R1.  Our first pick, Spring Style [IRE], won (1st) for show money of $2.10.  Our second pick, West Hope [BRZ], finished 5th (last).  Due to the small field, no 10 CENT Superfecta was offered in this race.
Bankroll dips to $5.60.  We will supplement with $10.00 for today's stakes races.
