We are back on an exciting Stakes Saturday looking at a classic Turf race at venerable Calder Race Course.
Calder Racecourse Race 9 {W.L. McKnight~G2~1 1/2 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A beautiful day in the Miami area will shine down on the horses. This race comes up as a competitive one with a field of ten to start on the grass. Very little speed may give the front runners an edge. Most of the field will be tracking and closing in this one. Could be an opportunity for all these talented horses.
#1 Ioya Bigtime (J. Sanchez / Block) may have the edge as the only speedster in the race. This guy could control the pace on the front. He holds the fourth highest speed number, a two race progression, and three superb workouts. He could out dash the favorite.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.
#5 Forte Dei Marmi [GB] (G. Saez / Attfield) is the deserved favorite with the highest last out speed number, the highest speed number at the distance, and two robust workouts. He will be coming late, hoping for a decent pace.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.
#9 Prince Will I Am (Jara / Nihei) should be a contender with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout. He should be tracking the pace and launch into the stretch rapidly.
$1 SHOW.
Another Wagering Interest
#8 Center Divider (L. Saez / Walsh) has run up against some mighty competition at this distance and has yet to find himself in the money. This race presents an honest opportunity for him to get some cha ching. He has a couple of decent last out speed numbers and three robust workouts. He will press the pace.
10 CENT Superfecta
#1 Ioya Bigtime, #5 Forte Dei Marmi [GB] / #1, #5 / #9 Prince Will I Am, #8 Center Divider / #9, #8.

Searching for a Jackpot
The first big money stakes race where Kentucky Derby 139 hopefuls gather will be down in good old Louisiana. A fitting venue for Stakes Saturday.
Delta Downs Race 7 {Delta Downs Jackpot~G3~1 1/16 mile~2 year old~Stakes}
An exciting field of nine will make their way over the bullring style track. This three turn mile and sixteenth race will challenge both equine athlete and jockey alike. There is a good deal of speed mixed with the forwardly placed followed by the trackers/closers. it should be a very competitive race with any of these with the chance to notch a win.
#1 Bern Identity (Lopez / Breen) could go off as the favorite having already got a win over the track. He holds the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one bullet workout. He has the tactical speed to stay close and then launch himself into the straight.
$2 SHOW.
#9 Goldencents (Krigger / O'Neill) should share front running duties if he can get a clean break from the outside post. He holds the third highest last out speed number and has put in two strong workouts. He should be in prime shape making his third career start.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#3 Central Banker (Mena / Stall) will challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number at a sprint, a four race progression, and two sturdy workouts. He will be stretching out for this one and should be staying close to the leaders. His strike into the stretch should be a good one.
#6 Itsmyluckyday (Serpa / Plesa) should also be a contender with a win at this distance, a couple of decent last out speed numbers and three endurance producing workouts. This guy should be able to track comfortably and see how the race develops.
10 CENT Superfecta
#1 Bern Indentity / #9 Goldencents / #3 Central Banker / #6 Itsmyluckyday.

Sunday Turfing at Churchill
Sunday concludes another wonderful horse racing weekend. Today we take a gander at a Turf race at magnificent Churchill Downs.
Churchill Downs Race 9 {1 mile~TURF~3 year old~fillies/mares~Allowance}
Thunderstorms are predicted and they could wash this one off the turf. A full field of twelve are expected to make the start. All of these gals are closely matched in ability.
#12 Artemus Kitten (Goncalves / Maker) looks much the best with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route, the highest speed number at the distance, and three excellent workouts. She could close down this field in swift fashion.
$2 WIN / $3 SHOW.
#8 Startling Beauty (Hernandez / Arnold) appears ready for a strong challenge with the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer route, the second highest speed number at the distance and one fierce bullet workout. She could track the pace and get first jump in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#6 Jamacian Ginger (Bridgmohan / Wilkes) could surprise coming off a decent layoff sharing the fourth highest last out speed number, having been in the midst of a two race progression, and putting in four fantastic, peaking workouts. She will be among the pace trackers.
#2 Gypsy [GB] (Prado / Motion) will be among the contenders if it stays on Turf. She holds a 66% in the money record while racing in France. Prior to her lengthy layoff she won her last race, a longer route, and was on the verge of a two race progression. In preparation for this race she put in four tremendous workouts. She could be victorious.
A Mudder Alternative
Should this race move to the slop and mud there are two fillies to consider.
#13 Globe Trot (Albarado / Romans) is signed up for the main track only (MTO) and has competed well over an off track. Holding the highest speed number in such conditions while in the money in her two efforts.
#7 Bonita Muneca (Castanon / A. Rodriguez) will be on the Turf with the rest, but deserves a look if it comes off the grass. She holds the second highest speed number for an off track and has scored some purse cash in two of three outings in the muck.
10 CENT Superfecta
#12 Artemus Kitten / #8 Startling Beauty / #6 Jamacian Ginger, #2 Gypsy [GB] / #6, #2.

Ole` The Bullring
A Stakes Saturday awakens. Today we peer at a race that essentially begins the road to the 2012 Kentucky Derby. It is the Jackpot at Delta Downs. The winner of this race will most assuredly be guaranteed a start at KD 138, notwithstanding any injuries.
Delta Downs Race 7 {Delta Downs Jackpot~G3~1 1/16 mile~2 year old~Stakes}
This showcase race can be considered the unofficial start of the Kentucky Derby trail. An excellent field of ten will be assembled for the start. This years field of exceptional two year olds have the talent to make it to the gate on the first day of May 2012. Expect a few minutes of heart pounding excitement as they race around the little track that could.
#5 My Adonis (Trujillo / Breen) has a slight edge having already been around "the bullring" with the third highest (tie) last out speed number and two strong, peaking workouts. This guy will be forwardly placed ready to strike in the stretch of this six furlong oval.
$2 SHOW.
#8 Sabercat (Melancon / Asmussen) will be a contender sharing the third highest last out speed number and putting in three significant, peaking workouts. He could be in mid-pack ready to unleash a bit of speed in the stretch to the finish.
$2 SHOW.
#3 Tiz Moe (Theriot / Calhoun) this colt could be the surprise of the race with a couple of decent speed numbers in his two race career. He too has been around the Delta Downs track. In prepping for this race he has put in two superb workouts. He gets a bronze horseshoe for one that could improve greatly.
$2 SHOW.
Another Wagering Interest
#6 Drill (M. Garcia / Baffert) is the odds-on favorite for this race with a grade one win already under his saddlecloth. He holds the highest speed number at the distance and has put in the best set of, er, drills for this race. A workout tab of four sensational, peaking workouts. Clearly the one to beat, but can he handle this tiny little track from a mid-post position? We will see. No matter how he does, he will be a strong contender on the KD 138 trail.
10 CENT Superfecta
#5 My Adonis / #8 Sabercat / #3 Tiz Moe / #6 Drill.
Friday's Results
Hollywood Park R3. Msw. Our first pick, Global Domination, finished 2nd for show money of $2.40. Our second pick, Vader, finished 9th. (The dark side must have got him.) Our third pick, High Test, won (1st) for show money of $2.20.
Superfecta went 5-2-10-3.
Bankroll gets a chill to $24.05.
