We journey to precious Arlington Park for our Superfecta Sunday adventure. As we head into October, we could consider this day a triple witching day; the last day of the month, the last day of the quarter, and the last day of the Arlington Park meet. Perhaps it could be a spooky good one.
Arlington Park Race 8 {1 mile~3 year old Up~Allowance}
An interesting field of ten will gallop to the gate. There is a mild amount of speed which could make the race troublesome for the pure closers. It should be a terrific race nonetheless. Let's try to end our horse racing weekend on a positive note as we try to stitch together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#10 Dad Are We There (Martinez / Mathews) could be the one that sits mid-pack ready to vie for victory. With the second highest (tie) speed number at the distance, an o.k. last out speed number, and two strong, peaking workouts this guy could romp.
#9 Al Musaddad (Hamilton / Peitz) looks ready to fire with the highest speed number at the distance, a decent last out speed number, and three credible workouts. He could prove his mettle today. He is our bronze horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#4 Vouch for Victory (Roman / Swearingen) will challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number at a longer route, the best in the money record, of the group, at Arlington which includes three wins over four races. This guy could find himself loose on the front end to score the another win.
#2 Sword and Shield (Riggs / Miller) should be in the mix with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and three quality, peaking workouts. This son of Stephen Got Even could find himself close to the pace for a gallant run.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
#10 Dad Are We There + #9 Al Musaddad + #4 Vouch for Victory + #2 Sword and Shield.

Belmont Park Race 10 {TVG Jockey Club Gold Cup~G1~1 1/4 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}

#5 Fort Larned (Hernandez / Wilkes) should show the speed hoping to control the pace. He holds the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four stellar, peaking workouts. This will be his first effort on "Big Sandy", but he should handle it well.

A Little Thursday Belmont Turf
We start our horse racing weekend with some good New York Turf.
Belmont Park Race 7 {1 1/4 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~Maiden Special Weight}
A very nice field of nine is expected to make this start in this longer distance Turf route. Minor speed should result in a moderate pace. Few have gone this distance in their relatively short careers. It should be a good race.
#2 Fact (A. Garcia / McLaughlin) should set the pace with the highest (tie) last out speed number and four fantastic peaking workouts. He also has the highest speed number at this distance. This four year-old son of A.P. Indy could wire the field.
$1 WIN / $1 SHOW.
#1A Night Site (Lezcano / Mott) or his coupled entrant, #1 Input will no doubt challenge, sharing the highest last out speed number and putting in two solid workouts. It matters little as to which one goes, they both are quite capable of notching their first victory.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.
#4 Candy Feat (C. Velasquez / Toner) could prove his mettle with the third highest (3-way tie) last out speed number and two steady workouts. He will be making his first attempt at this distance, but has run well over the green.
$1 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#7 Lure of the South (W. Garcia / Kelly) could get the job done this time with the fourth highest last out speed number and three strong peaky workouts. Despite his poor record, his speed number at this distance rates well with the field.
#3 Popplestone (Napravnik / Fisher) could also be in the mix sharing the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one efficient workout. This gelding is one of the few tested at this distance.

Superfecta Sunday at Fairplex Park
It's Superfecta Sunday, already?? We take a peek at a fine dirt route at Fairplex for our Sunday enjoyment.
Fairplex Park Race 11 {Ralph M. Hinds Handicap~1 1/8 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A good field of eight horses will make their start in this 100k Stakes race. The field is evenly distributed among all the running styles which gives no edge to a single one. Let's give it a shot crafting our 10 CENT Superfecta box.
#7 Norvsky (Talamo / Warren) looks to be the horse to beat with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a four race progression, and two athletic workouts. He also holds the highest speed number over the Fairplex track and the highest speed number at the distance. He will be our bronze horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#3 Quindici Man (Gryder / Lewis) is a veteran racer making his second start of the year. His last out was decent over the synthetic, but it is the dirt, the distance, and the Fairplex track that he loves. He has put in three stout workouts prepping for this race. He should pose a mighty challenge in the stretch.
#8 Juniper Pass (M. Garcia / Bell) could surprise making his first start over the dirt. He is a turf specialist that loves the longer distance routes. This guy is coming off a longer route and has put in three robust, peaking workouts.
#6 Worth Repeating (Pedroza / Machovsky) looks ready to ride this surface again. He shares the highest last out speed number at a longer turf route. This son of Giant's Causeway also shares the second highest speed number over the surface resulting in a win. Expect him to be forwardly placed ready to strike.

Parx Race 11 {Pennsylvania Derby~G2~1 1/8 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A highly talented group of eight three year-olds will make their way to the start of this terrific race. Limited speed should make the race interesting with the favorites, Alpha and Golden Ticket, both trackers, coming out of the dead-heat Travers. This race is one to watch and wager.
