Today we look at two very fine Grade One stakes races at wonderful Saratoga. To paraphrase Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, "Let's play two at Saratoga".
Saratoga Race 9 {Test~G1~7 furlongs~3 year old~fillies~Stakes}
A field of nine high quality fillies will make the start in this race. Ash Zee (Maragh / Asmussen) holds a slight edge with two wins for two races at the distance, the third highest last out speed number, and three splendid, peaking workouts. This gal is sitting on a big race. Belle Of The Hall (Dominguez / Albertrani) looks ready to run well with the fourth highest last out speed number, three wins for her three race career, and four terrific workouts. Pica Slew (M. Cruz / Hushion) looks solid with the highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two decent workouts. She will provide a pressing attack and could pull off the victory. Bonnie Blue Flag (J. Velazquez / Baffert) should figure prominently with the highest speed number at the distance and four athletic workouts. Let's play sensational Saratoga.
$1 WIN / SHOW: #8 Ash Zee
$1 PLACE / SHOW: #7 Belle Of The Hall
$2 SHOW: #1 Pica Slew
10 CENT Superfecta: #8 Ash Zee / #7 Belle Of The Hall / #1 Pica Slew, #4 Bonnie Blue Flag / #1, #4.
Saratoga Race 10 {Whitney~G1~1 1/8 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
Six of the finest horses racing today line up for this annual stakes race. Quality Road (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) has trained furiously for this one. He should win with the highest speed number at the distance, the highest last out speed number, and four of the best workouts put in of this group. Haynesfield (Dominguez / Asmussen) is revved for a strong performance with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four supreme, peaking workouts. Musket Man (Maragh / Ryan) can be expected to deliver his usual in the money performance. With the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two fabulous workouts, he will be in the hunt. Blame (Gomez / Stall) will be a big factor in the race as well with the second highest speed number at the distance and four well-built, peaking workouts. In such a top grade field, it is difficult to handicap who else, besides Quality Road, will land in the money. There is no superfecta offered in this race, so choose we must. Let's play this great race at Saratoga.
$2 WIN: #3 Quality Road.
$2 SHOW: #6 Musket Man.
NO 10 CENT Superfecta offered.

To Monmouth on a Friday
Today we look at a nice sprint on the dirt for fillies and mares at Monmouth Park.
Monmouth Park Race 7 {6 furlongs~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A great group of talented fillies and mares will line up in this race. A very slight edge goes to Slam the Cat (Castro / McBurney) with the highest last out speed number a nice three race progression and a bullet workout. Deona (P. Lopez / Vitali) will challenge with speed. She is 100% in the money at the distance, has a decent last out speed number, and a good workout. Fortune Play (Thompson / Dickey) will be battling in the stretch with another consistent performance. She has the second highest last out speed number and two quality workouts. Aegean (Trujillo / Ward) looks ready with the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression and one superb bullet workout. She will be operating at the front end hoping to hold on in the stretch. Catch a Thief (Marquez / Hills) should perform well looking for a piece of the purse pie with a decent last out speed number and three robust workouts. Let's play Monmouth Park.

From the Jersey Shore to the great Prairie.
Today we look at a couple of extremely competitive contests. A Turf route at Monmouth Park and a sprint Stakes race at Prairie Meadows.
Monmouth Park Race 8 {1 1/8 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A field of nine lines up for this Turf route. Hooked on Hope (Coa / Tagg) looks solid as she stretches out for a little longer route. She has posted two decent last out speed numbers and three strong, peaking workouts. Obsequious (Fracoso / Gray) looks capable of putting it all together with the highest speed number at the distance, a two race progression, and three athletic, peaking workouts. Taylors Irish (Lopez / Harvatt) will be going a nudge longer sporting the highest last out speed number and a hearty workout. Sweet Tune (Rose / Motion) looks favorable with a decent last out speed number and two sparkling workouts. Inner Groove (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) will be going longer and showing speed with a credible workout. Let's play Monmouth Park.
$2 SHOW: #1 Hooked On Hope
$2 SHOW: #7 Obsequious
10 CENT Superfecta: #1 Hooked On Hope / #7 Obsequious / #9 Taylors Irish / #4 Sweet Tune, #8 Inner Groove.
Prairie Meadows Race 8 {Iowa Sprint Handicap~6 furlongs~3 year old Up~Stakes}
Another supremely competitive race. A good start and fine trip could give any one of a number in here the victory. Majestic Perfection (Bridgmohan / Asmussen) could wire this field breaking from post two. He has the second highest last out speed number and four well-built, peaking workouts. He also has the second highest speed number at the distance as well as being 100% in the money. Cash Refund (Hernandez / Margolis) has the highest speed number at the distance and is also 100% in the money at the distance. He shows the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number and two fierce workouts. Atta Boy Roy (Borel / Lund) also has a legitimate shot at hitting the wire first with the highest last out speed number, a four race progression and two sturdy workouts. Ez Dreamer (Corbett / Owens) shows the third highest (tie) speed number at the distance, a great last out speed number, and one bullet workout. Let's play Prairie Meadows.

10 CENT Superfecta: #2 Majestic Perfection / #7 Cash Refund, #8 Atta Boy Roy / #7, #8, #1 Ez Dreamer / #7, #8, #1.

Beautiful Arlington Park Opens Today
Ahh, the Summer horse racing season is upon us. Arlington Park opens today and Kentucky Derby 136 is Saturday at Churchill. Let the horse racing weekend begin!!
Churchill Downs Race 9 {1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Allowance}
A nice full field for this Turf allowance and there is a great deal of parity among today's starters. The edge goes to Whirling Thunder (Lanerie / Kenneally) with a decent last out speed number, two race progression, and two athletic works. He likes the Churchill course and sports the highest (tie) speed number at the distance. Harken Up (Castellano / Wilkes) will be going from dirt to turf with the highest last out speed number and two limber workouts. He will challenge for the victory. Quite A Handful (Maragh / Hansen) looks good with 100% in the money at the distance, a two race progression, and two robust, peaking workouts. Indomable [GER] (Leparoux / Motion) is the unknown quantitiy in this race as it will be his first in the U.S. He shows a 100% in the money record over the surface and at the distance in his native Germany. He is trained by Graham Motion, one of the best Turf trainers in the world. He goes out with three hardy workouts. He may need his first American race, but it is safe to place him in our superfecta. Let's play Churchill.
$2 SHOW: #1 Whirling Thunder
$2 SHOW: #2 Harken Up
$1 Superfecta (10 CENT if available): #1 Whirling Thunder / #2 Harken Up / #5 Quite A Handful, #7 Indomable [GER] / #5, #7
Arlington Park Race 9 {1 mile~all weather track~3 year old Up~IL~Maiden Special Weight}
The beautiful Arlington Park opens today. Right now it is breezy and light showers are moving through. forcast is the same later this afternoon at first post. A full field of twelve goes to the gate, including three first time starters (FTS). These are always tough to handicap, especially on Arlington's polytrack. We have to give a slight edge to Burning Crusade (Perez / Block) as a FTS. The stat that pops out is trainer, Chris Block has a 23% win record with first time starters. Couple that with the fact that Eddie Perez is coming off a break-out season at Hawthorne. Like this 4-year old FTS chances. Rob Young (Wade / Young) looks like he is ready to race over the polytrack surface with the second highest (tie) last out speed number which was at the odd 1 mile 70 yard Hawthorne route distance. A fairly good workout heightens his chances. A Lot of Honey (B. Meier / Dorris) is coming down from the same distance, has a five race progression, and a sinewy workout. Two horse that will round out our 10 CENT Superfecta play that will be moving up in distance are Captain Jack (Diego / Granitz) and Sharp Roma (Hamilton / Yanez). Both display strong workout tabs. Bear in mind opening day at Arlington usually has some bombers as many horses are trying the poly for the first time. Play it accordingly. Let's have fun at Arlington Park.
$2 WIN / SHOW: #7 Burning Crusade
$2 SHOW: #8 Rob Young
10 CENT Superfecta: #7 Burning Crusade / #8 Rob Young / #4 Alot of Honey / #5 Captain Jack, #6 Sharp Roma.

Tropical Derby for a New Year
Happy New Year!! A wonderful start to a New Year as we look at the Tropical Derby at Calder Race Course. Happy Birthday to all the Thoroughbreds.
Calder Race 10 {Tropical Derby~G3~1 1/8 mile~Turf~3 year olds~Stakes}
This will be a thrilling race with a number in her that have the ability to make it to the winners circle. It seems as though Lost Aptitude (Court / Romans) is the one to beat. With the best speed numbers across the board and a faulous race progression, he will pounce in the straight away. Gator Tiger (Cruz / Catanese) looks strong on the surface and at Calder. He will be rolling late. Some quality works coupled with a nice last out speed number, he is well prepared for this space. Our Champion (Coa / Braddy) shows a nice last out speed number and some great workouts. He too will be rolling late. Becky's Kitten (Trujillo / Ward) will be closing strongly in the hopes of hitting the wire first. Some solid workouts and a decent last out speed number for this group of three year olds show is well prepared for this race by top trainer, Wesley Ward. Cat Park (Leparoux / Motion) will also be in the mix here with the second best overall speed number on the turf. Let's play Calder Race Course.

From Florida to California
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Holiday. Horse Racing is back in action this weekend with the opening of Santa Anita. We take a look at a couple of fine stakes races.
Calder Race 10 {W.L. McKnight Handicap~G2~1 1/2 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
Presious Passion (Trujillo / Hartmann) will take the lead by how many lengths who knows. Should finish in the money with the possibility of winning. We think Cloudy's Knight (Homeister / Sheppard) should come charging home for the victory, however. He is coming down in distance from his last out and loves this distance. Winchester (Garcia / Clement) has been lightly raced this year and should come gunning for the wire in the stretch. He has put in some great workouts leading up to this race. Spice Route(GB) (J. Velazquez / Attfield) has worked out the best of the group and looks to be ready for this one with a chance of heading into the winners circle. Let's play Calder.
$2 SHOW: #9 Cloudy's Knight
10 CENT Superfecta: #9 Cloudy's Knight / #1 Winchester / #10 Presious Passion / #4 Spice Route
Santa Anita Race 8 {La Brea~G1~7 furlongs~3 year old~fillies}
This will be an exciting race with any one of a number of these gals ready for victory. Evita Argentina (Rosario / Sadler) looks the best prepped with three decent works and coming off a 7 furlong race last out. Alice's Smart (Flores / Sahadi) has put in some of the best works and is coming down in distance from her last race. Starlarks(IRE) (Solis / Gallagher) is also coming down in distance and has put in a couple of very nice workouts. She may surprise. Gabby's Golden Gal (Smith / Baffert) looks ready despite a dissappointing race last out. She has put in some fabulous workouts and loves the Santa Anita track. Let's play gorgeous Santa Anita.

December Horse Racing Begins
The colder weather is coming into the Midwest. However, today we look at a race in the Sunshine State at Calder and up in New York at Aqueduct.
Aqueduct Race 3 {Chan Balum Stakes~6 furlongs~3 year olds}
This will be a superbly competitive race. A speed duel could develop between African King (Chavez / Jacobson) and Big Push (Cohen / Klesaris) which could leave the rest of this six horse field flying late for a piece of the purse. Of those, Brother Keith (Dominguez / Maker), could be the best. Superior work outs and two wins over the dirt could be the difference. Lobo Del Norte (Mariano / Preciado) has a good last out speed number, good race progression and a nice work which will put him in good position to strike. Top Seed (Napravnik / Trombetta) could be the surprise with a couple of quality works and a long freshening. Let's make our Aqueduct play.
$2 SHOW: #3 Brother Keith
NO ten cent Superfecta.
Calder Race 8 {5 furlongs~Turf~2 year old~Allowance}
A nice field of eight assembles for this Turf sprint with three also eligible should any defections occur. Slick Idea (Homeister / O'Connell) with a high last out speed number and the strongest work outs, should be the victor in this race. Convoy (Cruz / Ward) is the clear second choice that also has a chance to be victorious. The Wesley Ward trained colt has the highest overall speed number and a couple of good works. Toney Baloney (Penalba / Stutts) will do very well with his pressing style. Family Style (Coa / White) will also be a strong factor in this turf sprint. Let's make our Calder play.
$2 SHOW: #2 Convoy Ahead
10 CENT Superfecta: #2 Convoy Ahead / #6 Slick Idea / #8 Tony Baloney / #7 Family Holiday
