Snappy NY Mile

For Stakes Saturday we look to Belmont Park to provide us with an exciting mile race.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Westchester~G3~1 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A solid field of seven will turn out to the track for this annual stakes race.  Their will be speed and the rest of the field will be up close on it.  It looks like a large clump of forwardly placed horses will battle on "Big Sandy".

#6 To Honor and Serve (Lezcano / Mott) will be the favorite coming off an extended layoff with the second highest speed number at the distance, working on a two race progression, and four powerful, peaking workouts.  He should be the one to beat.
$1 WIN / SHOW.

#1 Boys At Tosconova (Dominguez / R. Dutrow) looks ready coming off a 90 day layoff with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a four race progression, and five efficient workouts.  He could challenge with a pressing run.
$1 PLACE / SHOW.

#2 Jersey Town (Prado / Tagg) will be a contender with the highest speed number at the distance, sharing the third highest last out speed number, holding a two race progression, and two fast peaking workouts.  This guy could sit and strike with his pressing running style.
$1 WIN.

Another Wagering Interest

#7 Bold Deed (Castellano / Hushion) should be the speed of the race and if let loose on the lead, he could wire the field.  He holds the second highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two hearty workouts.  He could be a solid factor in the race.

10 CENT Superfecta

#6 To Honor and Serve / #1 Boys At Tosconova, #2 Jersey Town / #1, #2 / #7 Bold Deed.



Friday's Results

Bankroll remains the same at $8.92.

Hollywood Simple

Friday is a good day to relax and enjoy some great horse racing.  Today we look at a very simple little race at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Hollywood Park Race 3 {Inglewood Handicap~G3~1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year old~Stakes}
A very small field of five will launch from the gate in this annual stakes race.  The race will unfold with one speedster a couple of presser/trackers and a couple of closers.  Should be a good one.

#5 Holladay Road (Bejarano / Canani) has a slight edge with the highest, most recent, last out speed number and three superb peaking workouts.  He should close into the pace with stunning swiftness.
$2 SHOW.

#4 Acclamation (Valenzuela / Warren) will be the speed of the race as well as the overwhelming favorite.  He is coming off an extended layoff and may need this race to start his 2012 racing season.  He has the highest speed number at this distance and is well prepped with four endurance increasing workouts.  This guy could wire this field.
No Value.

#2 Utopian (Smith / Shirreffs) appears to have the best shot at rounding out the trifecta.  He has the third highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer route and three robust workouts.  Figure him to stay close to the pace, without getting gassed, then make a move in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.

NO 10 CENT Superfecta Offered due to the small field.



Thursday's Results
Betfair Hollywood Park R7.  Harry Henson.  Our first pick, American Act, won (1st) for show money of $2.10.  Our second pick, Koast, was scratched.
Due to the scratch, our 10 CENT Superfecta play was scuttled.  Superfecta went 6-2-5-3.
Bankroll gets a dime to $8.92.
