Superfecta Sunday in New Orleans

We take a look at a nice Turf contest at the historic Fair Grounds Race Course.

Fair Grounds Race 8 {1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~LA~Allowance Optional Claiming}

A nice group of ten turfers will go to the New Orleans green. There is sufficient speed to produce an honest pace. Speed numbers are relatively close to insure a competitive race. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#10 Don't Be Mad (C. Hernandez / M. Scherer) might have a slight edge with the fourth highest last out speed number and one peaking workout. This lad is 62% in the money from twenty-nine starts. The veteran should take up a nice tracking position striking in the stretch. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.

#7 Just too Smart (Ramgeet / Richards) should challenge with the third highest last out speed number and two robust workouts. The lad has the tactical speed to stay the course no matter the pace. Seeking to carry over good form after a brief layoff, he should take another step forward.

#3 Charlie's Affair (Clark / Ramsay) will be making his first Turf effort after a modest layoff. This lad holds the highest last out speed number over a dirt surface. Prior to the layoff he was working a three race progression. He should be forwardly placed.

#8 Heavy On Themister (Mena / Faucheux) could go off as the favorite with the second highest last out speed number and two hearty peaking workouts. This veteran should take up a smooth tracking trip ready to score.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#10 Don't Be Mad  +  #7 Just too Smart  +  #3 Charlie's Affair  +  #8 Heavy On Themister.

Stakes Saturday for the Claiming Crown

We look on one of the Claiming Crown races in Southern Florida for our Stakes Saturday.

Gulfstream Park Race 7 {Claiming Crown Glass Slipper~1 mile~3 year-old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}

A soundly competitive group of twelve will go to the gate in this mucky mile race. There is plenty of speed and forwardly placed types to create a strong pace. Speed numbers are all very close making for very close race. It should be another exciting race on the Claiming Crown card.

#2 Primo Via (Vaz / Aristone) might have a slight edge with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two superb workouts. She will be forwardly placed and should get a good trip over the track. A daughter of Candy Ride [ARG], she also holds the highest (tie) speed number at the distance.
$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#7 Moonshine Promise (Castellano / Walder) will challenge with a couple of good last out speed numbers finishing in the money in both. She has put in two stout workouts in the last thirty days. This daughter of Will He Shine should be tracking the pace ready for an opening to spurt through.
$1 PLACE  /  $2 SHOW.

#6 Aix En Provence (P. Lopez / Orseno) should contend with the second highest last out speed number and three stamina producing workouts. She is coming in from Laurel for this effort and appears to be in sharp form. This daughter of Rock Slide should be forwardly place seeking good position to strike.
$1 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#5 My House (Centeno / Hernandez) should be in the mix from the gate opening with her early speed. She holds the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three robust workouts. This daughter of Flower Alley is seeking her third win in a row.

10 CENT Superfecta
