SAT - Arlington late PK4 & Kentucky Downs Full Card
 

Arlington Park POST SCRATCHES POLY / OFF TURF


R6 – G3 Arlington Washington Futurity

#7 Caleb’s Posse – Second to stakes winner in debut: came back and dominated a full field of maidens last month. 3RD
#6 Wheemaway – Showed some promise at 1st asking when finishing well despite minor traffic trouble and the extra furlong will only help.
#8 Impersonator – Seems to have a grinding style and should be close to the pace throughout. 4TH
#3 Major Gain – 2nd to top choice in debut and gets a much better draw today. WON $8.80

R7 – OC 40k / N2X (OFF Turf 12F) – Most of these are coming back with little rest while attempting 12 furlongs with the exception of #5 Jumpin Charlie over a year layoff.

#4 Lemonade Kid – Hard fought 2nd just 3 weeks ago in the G3 Stars N Stripes, anything close to that race will get it done. 4TH
#8 Big Al – Distance runner capable of making some noise late. WON $14.60
#1 Triple Check – Team Block gelding has not been worse than 4th in 7 starts this year. 3RD

R8 – G3 Arlington Washington Lassie

#9 Wonderlandbynight – 3 for 3 with the DQ win in debut and is the only stakes winner in the field. WON $8.80
#6 Jordy Y – Beat the boys in most recent and Catalano has had plenty of success in this race. 2ND
#3 Edie – Daughter of Eddington has been 4th in both career starts and I like the bullet coming into this race. 30-1 ML
#11 Honey Chile – Took care of business as the favorite in debut and the 2nd place finisher came back to graduate on Thursday’s card. 4TH

R9 – Clm 18k (OFF Turf 8.5F)

#1 Rey Del Sol – Will probably get his preferred turf course (Good) and I like that Graham hops aboard. WON $13.20
#6 Uno Chapo – Popular claimer gets a better draw and should contend for win honors. 2ND
#3 Forgive Your Sins – Hasn’t tried the lawn in over a year and is capable of taking them a long way on the front end.

PK4 – 2 3 6 7 8 / 1 4 8 / 9 / 1 3 6 = $45 PAID $1421.40 FOR $1

Good Racing Luck

We are pretty well on the same page dude. Saw a lot of the same things. There are some others I like:

Race 3: #10 She Can Fly: post is a hinderance, but Badge Of Silver is having a good first crop. Wouldn't dismiss.

Race 5: Really can't see anyone hanging with #3 Intercoastal. #1 Mano Point could be a good longshot under him. Broke in air last time and was in pretty tough @ Ellis. I'm expecting a better performance to fill out the exacta.

Race 7: You are right about this one; excellent race to bet on. I do like #4 Never Retreat (running real well before her break), #3 My Baby Baby (has been competing with much tougher) and #9 Sweet Theresa (last one not that bad and Monmouth shippers have faired well at KD). My fourth horse is #7 Midway Holiday. Her effort in the Va Oaks was not too shabby; I'm expecting a good run today cutting back 1/8 from her last turf effort.

Race 10: Love #4 Whitely in here. Cutting back to 6 furlongs makes me feel he will be the one standing at the end. #1 Due Date has been running against some top-notch turf sprinters and showed it his last race, beating 3 others that are entered here today.

Race 13: Real hard to look past #1 Cloudy's Knight. He is just so classy and won this last year off a longer layoff. If anyone can upset it will be #8 Imponente Purse. Caramori excels at prepping horses for these longer distances, and Pompell is an underrated turf rider. With the good/yielding/soft course today, he will excel.

Race 16: #2 Mountain of Joy was entered in a $30k claimer (offered for $25k) right off the bat. I expect more out of Kitten's Joy's runners; this concerned me. Thinking I can beat her with #6 Ink. He has a good first turf pedigree and has run vs. tougher. Layoff is a concern, but still looks good to me. #4 Port Morsby and #7 Papa Dave can't be dismissed, either.

Hope the weather stays decent down here today. Good luck to you too!! :D

Fantastique in the first KD race.

I don't want to start quoting the Fat Man, but I'm surprised they're OFF the Turf at Arlington today.

Nice pick Hockey, those More Than Ready's take to the lawn.

Thanks, but got bet like crazy.

No Doubt from her 12-1 ML.

bogey - congrats - sweet payoff - enjoy your evening

Great job Gus!:tro:

Thanks Tom & Dagolfer, I was very happy with Wonderlandbynight's effort. I'm glad I stuck to my guns and played the ticket despite the OFF the Turf. That's a benefit from the All Weather Track.

Gus.. Superb play! Great start to the fall season!

Way to go Gus, Great Job, Congrats!

Thanks Steve & Matt, it worked out well after making poor PK4 tickets the last few weeks.

I've been a fan of Wonderlandbynight since her debut and she came through big time. She's also not bad to look at with that huge blaze. It was about a 1K difference when Rey Del Sol passed Uno Chapo in the finale.

top shelf gus, congrats

Super job today, Gus! Made first visit to AP today & returning tomorrow. Wish I had played your numbers instead of mine... horseplayer's lament

Hope you knock 'em dead again tomorrow. Turf racing should return & hopefully my 'capping will return too!

Excellent Pick 4 hit Gus. Very nice!!!

Nice one hockey. Wound up going with her after the 10 scratched.

Pretty unreal work, yet again, Bogey!

Well done!

Thanks, Brian, Booner, Dylbert, & Matt X2.
