Mountain Race 9
 

just taking a quick look and im kinda feeling the 5 Swiper the Fox at 21-1 with 3 mtp.

not a bad play, he made a run for it.

finished 4th, gave a little run but just not enough.

ArlJim,

if you are looking at the mountain at all tonight, what do you think of the the 1 Medellin in the 10th race?

oh i wasn't even looking or playing tonight.
i just saw your post in time to flip over and watch the ninth, so I don't have any opinion on the 1.

decided to give the 1 a little play, see what happens.

I'll give him a try next time out.

i think you might have got fourth again.
at least you got a run for your money.

I'm still new to handicapping and have a lot to learn, but what was he doing on that 1? He had him in a good spot on the rail and coming around the turn for home he dropped the horse back, then re-rallied on the outside. ?????

At the Mountain its pretty normal to want to rally wide, instead of up the rail.

For most of the first 5 months the rail has been death at the Mountain. You will almost always see the leader turning for home in the 4 or 5 path.

Thats because the leader is usually Stokes and hes scared to death to be between horses, or with in 10 feet of the rail

My Filly is running tonight at Penn for those watching night races. She is the 6 horse in the 4th race. Hoping to get a nice run out of her tonight!!

Good luck!
