On this Sunday we go to the "Valley of the Sun" for some nice Turf action.
Turf Paradise Race 8 {7 1/2 Furlongs~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A field of ten will line up for this grass allowance feature. There is sufficient speed to keep the pace going. After the three most outstanding horses in this group, it is a tough one to figure out. Let's try to forge a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#9 Collating Lady (Franco / Silva) looks dominating among this field with the second highest last out speed number off a route and one strong workout. She has raced well at both Hollywood Park and Santa Anita earlier this year. She should be able to take advantage of the pace with her tracking and closing running style.
#4 Triveni [FR] (Carreno / S. Callaghan) could be well spotted for this race with the highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two robust, peaking workouts. This French bred filly also has the highest speed number at the distance. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#6 Laura Beasley (Ochoa / McFarlane) should be in the mix with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and one good workout. She holds the third best speed number at the distance along with a 57% in the money record. Her tracking/closing style will benefit her today.
#1 Serious Stuff (Bridges / McFarlane) could have the speed to hold on with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one bullet workout. She could surprise.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
#9 Collating Lady + #4 Triveni [FR] + #6 Laura Beasley + #1 Serious Stuff.

Great Gulfstream Turf
A magnificent Stakes Saturday for a Turf contest in South Florida. We go to beautiful Gulfstream Park for some fabulous turf action.
Gulfstream Park R9 {El Prado~1 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A huge field of fourteen is expected to go to the grass for this highly competitive contest. There is a great amount of speed which should make for a furious pace. With a crowded field those close and well positioned to the pace could prevail.
#5 Salto [IRE] (Castellano / Pletcher) could get it done with the highest last out speed number at a longer route, a five race progression, improving with every race since setting his hooves in America, and two sufficient workouts. He should be close ready to fire.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.
#14 Nikki's Sandcastle (Lanerie / Kassen) should challenge with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route and three solid workouts. This guy will stay close and pounce in the stretch.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.
#13 Hollinger (Lezcano / Attfield) looks well prepped to be a contender with the fourth highest last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and three stellar peaking workouts. He should have an advantage by tracking the pace and then moving swiftly through the stretch.
$1 SHOW.
Another Wagering Interest
#1 Bad Debt (Carmouche / Trombetta) could surprise using some tactical speed to great advantage. He has the third highest (3-way tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and two robust workouts. This guy has a enviable 90% in the money record at the distance in ten races.
10 CENT Superfecta
#5 Salto [IRE] / #14 Nikki's Sandcastle / #13 Hollinger / #1 Bad Debt.
Friday's Results

Fair Grounds Friday
Another fantastic Friday and we look to Fair Grounds to get back on track.
Fair Grounds Race 6 {1 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~Allowance}
A nice group of ten Turfers will go to the gate in this feature. The field is very closely matched. It happens to come up with very slight speed which will make it very interesting.
#6 Major Gain (Graham / Roussell) has a slight edge with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two solid workouts. He has performed well over the distance and the Fair Grounds course. He should take up a tracking position and explode into the stretch.
$1 WIN / $2 SHOW.
#1 At The Pulpit (Eramia / Lovell) will challenge with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and one credible workout. This guy will also take up a tracking position and join the battle in the stretch run.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#4 Bold Front (Bridgmohan / McGee) is coming off a long layoff, but looks well prepped for this race with three robust workouts. When last seen he ran a longer route earning a speed figure that fits well with the group. He could come a closin' for a piece of the purse pie.
#9 Class President (Guidry / Asmussen) is another coming off an extended layoff and has put in the best workout tab prepping for his return to the turf. He holds a victory at the distance with a comparable speed figure. This guy should close well into a reasonable pace.
10 CENT Superfecta

Resting on Laurel
We open our horse racing weekend with a superb sprint at Laurel.
Laurel Park Race 8 {7 furlongs~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A gigantic field of fourteen line up for this dirt sprint. There is enough speed to keep the pace honest. Most have not gone this distance making it a very compelling handicapping challenge.
#8 Merryland Moon (Pimentel / Trombetta) should sit right off the leaders ready to make a move with the fourth highest last out speed number at a route and one tenacious workout. This gal likes the Maryland track.
$2 SHOW.
#10 Glorietta Bay (Rose / McLaughlin) should share front running duties with a couple of decent last out speed numbers at routes, a two race progression, and one glorious workout. She is shipping in from New York for this allowance feature.

Superfecta Sunday at Fair Grounds, essayer deux
Once again Superfecta Sunday rolls up and we make our cyber journey to good old New Orleans to make a strong attempt.
Fair Grounds Race 8 {5 1/2 Furlongs~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A field of ten talented gals will go to the grass for this allowance feature. Isolated T-Storms are predicted, but hopefully none severe enough to keep this one off the Turf. There is enough speed in here to keep the pace randy. Let's try to stitch together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#7 Myriad (Jacinto / M. Scherer) looks like the one to beat with the second highest last out speed number off a longer sprint, a two race progression, and one steady workout. She looks to track the pace and should get the pace to do so.
#5 Just Like Juliet (Mena / Glyshaw) should challenge with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one sure workout. She should find herself forwardly placed ready to strike in the stretch. This filly is our Bronze horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#8 Vuitton (S. Bridgmohan / Asmussen) will contend with the highest speed number at the distance, a couple of decent last out speed numbers, and two successful workouts. She should bide her time near the front end ready to pounce.
#1 Deferred (Theriot / Cox) could surprise with an o.k. effort last out at a longer Turf sprint and one superb workout. This filly will be making her third career start battling on the front end with enough to hold on for a piece of the purse pie.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
#7 Myriad + #5 Just Like Juliet + #8 Vuitton + #1 Deferred.

Hollywood Cash
It's Stakes Saturday and all eyes will be on the 2 year old Derby hopefuls running on the West coast.
Betfair Hollywood Park Race 9 {Cash Call Futurity~G1~1 1/16 mile~2 year old~Stakes}
A talented field of eleven 2 year olds will go to the gate in this annual race. All are still showing improvement and anything could happen in this one. It will make more a unique handicapping challenge for all. There will be plenty of speed and if furious enough, could set up for one coming from close to or from off the pace.
#4 Carving (M. Garcia / Baffert) should be prominent with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four tenacious workouts. He should be close to the pace setting up for a quick run into and through the stretch.
$2 SHOW.
#5 Fury Kapcori (Talamo / Hollendorfer) will challenge with the third highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and four robust workouts. He too will be close to the pace ready to swoop into the stretch.

Betfair Hollywood Park Race 5 {6 furlongs~TURF~3 year old Up~Allowance}
Another good group of eight will set out for the green. This time it is a race for the lads. Again, a nice balance of running styles should make this race a good one.
#8 Dixieland Blues (Gomez / M. Jones) looks ready to step up with the third highest last out speed number and four hearty, peaking workouts. He is coming off an extended layoff and should fire fresh. Holding the fourth highest (tie) speed number at the distance, expect him to press and track a strong pace.
$2 SHOW.
#3 Love That Action (Talamo / D'Amato) will challenge with the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number and three solid workouts. He should be tracking and closing swiftly. This guy also shares the fourth highest last out speed number at this distance.
