POST-SCRATCHES


7th: SLW/N1X, 3+, 1m-T (P4, P3, DD, Super)

Excellent group. Clement's 'first North America' favorite #8 Barocci (2-1) has 'that look' of an impact import, but the next 3-4 all are solid citizens..

Most Likely: #8 Barocci 2-1 2nd
Best Value: #1 The Paddyman 6-1 7th
Next Best: #7 Kanagaro 5-1 3rd
Exotics Use: #3 Reserve Currency 7-2 4th


8th: NY-ALW/N1X, F&M-3+, 6.5f (P3, DD, Super)

Looked at this race Friday before odds had posted and hoped McPeek's #4 Why Take a Chance might be 2nd or 3rd choice, but Eric Donovan makes him 2-1 to start the bidding. Gets 'triple whammy' karma makeover dropping down (open to state bred), cutting back and going turf to dirt. And adds Lasix..

Most Likely: #4 Why Take a Chance 2-1 2nd
Next Best: #7 Silver Over Gold 4-1 4th

Exotics Use: #6 American Trilogy 10-1 8th

Exotics Use: #7 La Pernelle 5-2 WON ($6.80)


10th: MDN CLM, F&M-3+, 7f-T (Super)

Weak group. Watch for SCR's as AE's (13-14-16) all better than body of field..

Good luck!
Steve

Really like the 2 in BEL R8. . . Pace figs say she can get loose and that last-out Beyer seems light.

BEL SCR/CHG'S

CRC SCR/CHG'S

HOL SCR/CHG'S

I think the 9, in the last at Hollywood, looks like a single.

Ranchero looks like he should win the Hol 8 by a pole, but that is one suspicious drop.

we both wanted that 8 to get up in the last...stayed alive with the 4 but the 8 was a great price.

I also like the 9 in the last....I used 5,6,7,9 in my pk6 ticket. Singled the Baffert dropper but afraid that will be my downfall. If I could of added one it that one it would of been the Peter Miller / Jay Em Ess horse.

steve- nice call for the tri- at hollywood in the 6th. i sure needed that. been a bad day but i kept goin because as you say you have to keep firing and persevere . thanks again- $ to be made. best to you (sure you would of rather had the 8 first but i'll take it)

The 1 was a good horse in Europe...not giving up on him yet.

I'm with you on the 1. The 3 is a nice price at 5-1 as well.

ok, now giving up. uhg. chalk again. gonna need chalk again in the 8th

Just didn't lift a hoof, what a shame. The chalk is killing me here.

hoping the 4 in the 8th then the 5,6,7,9 in the last and pk6 will pay around $2k?? maybe $1,500.

More I look at it...really worried that the 4 is gonna give it up in the lane.

Good luck... 4 looks to be the best. Just wondering why the drop in class...

Baffert does this...it usually when they get bet like this they run well. I just think if he gets pressure he is gonna fold.

The 2 and 7 interest me.

boy that was a bad group.

payouts are about what I thought..around 1,700 unless the 6 can do it and I get a fat $11k

Good luck, Root! FWIW I really like the 6 in the last myself.

I followed that one when it made its first start and was working up a storm. I wonder if they are just giving it a race off the layoff, but think it is worth a shot.
