Monmouth opened with great anticipation this weekend. Today we look at a very nice race at the famed Jersey race track.
Monmouth Park {6 furlongs~3 year old~Allowance}
There is an absolute standout in this field, Red Elephant (Gomez / Breen). He has the highest last out speed number, a fantastic record at Monmouth, is 100% in the money at the distance and has put in three terrific, peaking workouts. This balance of this full field of ten will battle hard for a piece of the purse with all of them with a legitimate chance to hit the board. Red Elephant should be able to best them all. Of the rest of the field, Macjoey (J. Velazquez / Asmussen) appears to be well prepared with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and two strong workouts. He also is 100% in the money at the distance. Cactus Charlie (Marquez / Tommarro) looks well enough to grab a piece of this purse with a decent last out speed number, a three race progression, and two fierce workouts. Also vying for Monmouth's attractive purses will be Lion Attack (Sheppherd / Shuman) with the second highest speed number at the distance along with a 100% in the money record at this distance. He has also put in a quality work. Another who will vie for a piece will be Jet Set Vinny (E. Castro / Cambolati) who has the highest (tie) speed number at the distance, the second highest (tie) last out speed number, and three good workouts. Let's play Monmouth Park for our finale of the horse racing weekend.
$2 WIN / SHOW: #2 Red Elephant.
$2 SHOW: #10 Macjoey.
10 CENT Superfecta: #2 Red Elephant / #10 Macjoey / #6 Cactus Charlie / #1 Lion Attack, #7 Jet Set Vinny.

New York to Hollywood Horse Racing
It will be a great Saturday for horse racing at Belmont Park and Hollywood Park.
Belmont Park {Sheepheads Bay~G2~1 3/8 mile~inner Turf~fillies/mares~3 year old Up}
This shapes up to be a very close competition. Ballynoe (Hill / Proctor) has a slight edge with the second highest last out speed number and four superb workouts. Nehantic Kat (Dominguez / Tagg) loves the Belmont course and will provide a strong challenge. She has the highest speed number at the distance, a decent last out speed number, and three good workouts. Pari (Court / Proctor) will also be seeking the win with the highest last out speed number and two sturdy workouts. She clearly has a chance. Bubbly Jane [BRZ] (Maragh / Lobo) will also put in a solid effort with a strong last out speed number and four gymnastic, peaking workouts. The Gaillimh Girl [IRE] (Castellano / Clement] will be making her second start in the States. She could surprise with a solid 100% in the money record for her career three races, two wins in a row, and a wholesome workout. Let's play Belmont Park.

Hollywood Park Race 8 {Lazaro Barrero~G3~7 furlongs~3 year old~Stakes}
Another fantastic competition with a full field of ten going to the gate. It appears that Hawaiian Springs (Smith / Walsh) is poised to run a big race. He is 100% in the money for his career three races, is coming off a route distance and has two wiry, peaking workouts. Smiling Tiger (Espinoza / Bonde) will also be in the hunt with the second highest (tie) last out speed number and three fabulous, peaking workouts. Macias (Flores / Baffert) will also make a big run having already gone this distance who is also coming off a route followed by three well-built, peaking workouts.

Racing in the Rain at Churchill
Friday racing at Churchill Downs. There is an 80% chance of rain this afternoon. Consequently, they will probably be running on an off track and races most likely come off the turf. Scratches are inevitable.
Churchill Downs Race 3 {7 furlongs~3 year old Up~Optional Claiming}
The "off" track monster in this one is Accredit (Theriot / Maker) who has five wins in six tries over the slop. Not to mention that he has the highest last out speed number and two sturdy, peaking workouts. Also the highest speed number at the distance which happens to be a triple digit in the slop. Accredit will be the one to beat. Z Humor (Bridgmohan / Asmussen) looks good coming down in distance from his last out and three athletic, peaking workouts. Here Comes Ben (Leparoux / Lopresti) has the second highest last out speed number and three robust, peaking workouts.

Handicapping B.A.: Belmont and Arlington Turf
Today we look a couple of Turf contests at Belmont Park and Arlington Park.
Belmont {1 1/8 mile~inner Turf~3 year old Up~Optional Claiming}
A facinating race takes shape here. Spanish Art (Castellano / McGaughey) has the edge with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, the highest speed number at Belmont and two strong workouts. Elusive Beat (A. Garcia / Brown) will challenge with the highest last out speed number, a four race progression and four solid workouts. New Madrid (J. Velazquez / Ice) will be looking at this race as a prep for the Belmont Stakes the first Saturday in June. He shows a decent last out speed number, a four race progression and the best workout tab of the group. New Madrid has put in four athletic, peaking workouts. Montesquieu (Maragh / Clement) appears to be ready with a decent last out speed number, a two race progression and two robust workouts. Cherokee Speed (E. Castro / Toner) will be sent out for a piece of the purse with a solid last out speed number, a two race progression, and three limber workouts. Let's play Belmont.

$2 SHOW: #5 Elusive Beat.

Arlington Park Race 9 {1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Allowance}
This will be a very close race with tons of speed. A tiny edge goes to Tidy Up (Graham / Faraci-Ransom) who can win if the fractions are kept modest. He is coming off a longer route with a decent speed number and has a good workout. He is 80% in the money on the Arlington turf and is a very consistent sort. Should a speed duel arise D'Wildcard (M. Baze / Catalano) will take full advantage with a good record at the distance and a good workout. Musca (Baird / Curlyas) looks good too coming back after a longer route race last out, a two race progression and two powerful workouts. Looking for a piece of the purse will be Ducduc (Alvarado / Canani) and Turnpike Tommy (Castanon / Yanez). Ducduc sports the highest last out speed number and a vibrant workout. Turnpike Tommy shows the best peaking workout tab and has a penchant for the Arlington turf. Let's play Arlington Park.

Preakness 135
Sunny skies are expected in Baltimore, Maryland for today's Preakness. Should be a wonderful day for horse racing.
Pimlico Race 12 {Preakness~G1~1 3/16 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
Triple Crown part two. The Preakness 135 looks to be an exciting race as always with a mix of Kentucky Derby gradutes and new shooters.
Super Saver (Borel / Pletcher) looks to be the horse to beat. As demonstrated in the Derby, he can be rated from his usual front running style. There is no speed in this race to speak of, which makes the Preakness all the more interesting. The Kentucky Derby winner will be near the front end and ready to pounce for the victory. He is coming off the highest last out speed number and two excellent peaking workouts.
Lookin At Lucky (M. Garcia / Baffert) should be the chief challenger after his troubled trip in the Derby. He had a respectable speed number in the Derby and has put in three athletic, peaking workouts. Is capable of a winning effort.
Dublin (Gomez / Lukas) appears to be ready for a strong effort coming out of the Derby. Another one with a respectable speed number from the Derby, he too has put in two sturdy, peaking workouts. A solid effort can be expected, particularly with Garrett Gomez in the irons.
Schoolyard Dreams (Coa / Ryan) did not make the Derby due to lack of graded earnings, but will challenge the Preakness group. He has a decent last out speed number and a tremendous workout tab of three superb workouts. Will make a strong challenge.
Yawanna Twist (Prado / R. Dutrow) another new shooter on the triple crown trail. A decent last out speed number and four gymnastic, peaking workouts. Lightly raced and ready to fire.
Let's make our Preakness play.

A great field goes to the gate in this race. A slight edge goes to Tidal Pool (Borel / Lukas) with the highest overall speed number, has traveled this distance producing the highest speed number, and has put in one robust workout. Looks like she is ready. Seeking The Title (Desormeaux / Stewart) looks solid with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four fierce workouts. Acting Happy (Lezcano / R. Dutrow) will challenge in the stretch with a perfect in the money record over this distance, a three race progression, and four athletic, peaking workouts. No Such Word (Thompson / C. Jones) will compete hard for a piece of this purse with the fourth highest last out speed number and three terrific workouts. Diva Delight (Leparoux / Wilkes) will make a valiant effort to obtain a piece of this purse. This rugged gal has competed in sixteen races in a row without a significant break scoring in the money in fifteen. Leave her out of your exotics at your peril.
