By the Bay for Our Superfecta Sunday

The first Superfecta Sunday in August and we take a look at a challenging Maiden claiming race near the city by the bay.

Golden Gate Fields {5 1/2 Furlongs~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Maiden Claiming}

A fascinating field of eight young ladies will go to the gate in this maiden race. Maiden Claiming races are arguable the toughest ones to handicap. Consequently, the payoffs on the exotics can be quite lucrative. 

There is little to no speed in the race, though the two first time starters could show speed. One horse does have some early foot, #6 Pacific Silence, and could take the lead by default. For those that have run the speed figures are fairly close making the race all the more challenging for the journeyman handicapper. Our task is to net a winning 10 CENT Superfecta Box ticket. It should be a really fun race over the Golden Gate Tapeta surface.

#8 Thick Smoke (Couton / Miyadi) might have the edge as she makes her third career starts against a easier field. She holds the fourth highest last out speed number and two robust workouts. She will be switching from dirt to synthetic as she comes up from Southern California. A daughter of Tizbud, she should be coming from the group in the back. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.

She holds the second highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. Expect her to be part of the back pack positioning for launch. A daughter of Grazen, she took fourth in her last race which is an indicator that she will improve in this one.

#2 Sweet Hussar (S. Rivera / S. Sherman) is a first time starter for good connections. She has posted four strong workouts in preparation for her race. A daughter of Fighting Hussar, she should handle the distance and surface glowingly.

#5 Go Vaidagirl (Frey / Tekas) could go off as the favorite with the highest last out speed number and two fine peaking workouts. She has hit the board twice in her six career starts. This gal also has the highest speed number at the distance. A daughter of Decarchy, she should track the pace closely ready to strike.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
