Friday is for Turf Lovers

Friday has arrived and we go to the Turf for some exciting horse racing.  Today we look at Arlington Park for splendid Illinois TURF allowance.

Arlington Park Race 8 {1 1/16 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~IL~Allowance}
An equally talented field of ten Illinois Bred horses.  A nice balance of running styles is evident.  It should be a satisfying TURF race.

#9 Peso (Torres / Boyce) appears ready to take another step forward with the third highest last out speed number and two robust, peaking workouts.  He should be forwardly placed using his second highest speed number over the Arlington turf to his advantage.
$2 SHOW.

#4 Fire Cloud (Geroux / Mathews) will challenge coming off a six-month layoff.  He holds the highest speed number over the Arlington Turf and has put in a well-built workout tab of four peaking works.  A terrific mid-pack effort could pull off the victory.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#5 Tapilu (Hill / Tracy) should be in the mix with the highest last out speed number, a seven race progression, and two hardy workouts.  He will be closing swiftly.

#3 Next Kitten (Graham / Catalano) should be considered despite the one year layoff.  He holds the second highest pseed number at the distance over a dirt surface.  This guy has put in two sturdy workouts.  He should be pressing the pace.

#10 Roi Le Roy (Emigh / Kirby) should be a factor with the highest speed number at the distance, a two race progression, and three stout workouts.  He is another that will close into a strong pace.

10 CENT Superfecta

Devilish Belmont Thursday

We start another great horse racing weekend looking forward towards improvement.  On this pleasant Thursday we look at a fine sprint stakes at roaring Belmont Park.

Belmont Park Race 8 {Diablo Stakes~6 furlongs~3 year old Up~Stakes}
An exquisite field of seven sprint veterans will make their start in this high quality stakes race.  There is ample speed which may set things up nicely for an off the pace runner.

#6 Jersey Town (Prado / Tagg) looks well prepped with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two superb peaking workouts.  This guy has the highest speed figure over the Belmont track and is 100 % in the money at Belmont, as well.
$1 WIN / $1 SHOW.

#1 This Ones for Phil (Dominguez / R. Dutrow) will demonstrate speed from the start with the highest last out speed number, a six race progression, and four strong, peaking workouts.  He could wire this field.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.

#4 Travelin Man (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) will challenge the group with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three fluid workouts.  He could take advantage of a devilishly hot pace.
$1 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#5 Flat Bold (Napravnik / Rodriguez) may surprise with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two solid peaking workouts.  He is another who could benefit by coming from off the pace.

10 CENT Superfecta

#6 Jersey Town, #1 This Ones for Phil / #6, #1 / #4 Travelin Man, #5 Flat Bold / #4, #5.



Last Superfecta Sunday's Results
Belmont Park R8.  NY Allowance.  We failed to fire in our 10 CENT Superfecta box.  We only had one selection in the superfecta sequence.  Superfecta went 6-2-5-4.
Our Bronze Horseshoe runner, Notell, finished 7th.
Bankroll gets shredded down to only $0.22.  Due to the troubled trip of the last couple of weeks we will once again supplement with an additional $10.00 bringing the bankroll up to $10.22.
