Tampa Pick 4/Friday 12-26

[GPK]

Races 7-10

2,4,8,9/2,3,6/3,6,9/5,10

[Bigsmc]

What I have so far....:

7 - 3,4,8
8 - 2,6
9 - 2,3,6,11 (if he draws in)
10 - 1,2,5

I kind of like this card.

In the 4th race, I think the 6 - Final Report (5-2 M/L) is a toss. Turf breeding top and bottom (Sadler's Wells and Lear Fan), been running okay on turf and rubber. This is her first ever dirt start and I think she will not run as well.

In the 5th race, don't leave the 4 - St. Patrick's Jet, off your ticket. Lot's of turf on the bottom (1/2 to Roman Envoy) and Downing can get them ready at first asking. He should put in a decent run against some fairly stiff competition. I'm going deep in this wide open turf MSW.

GL tomorrow.

Really. Has speed. Dec 3 breeze from the gate is legit. Not much to beat here and I'm hoping the 8 months off allowed the horse to mature and find some stamina in the pasture. When he is lonely on the front end, riding the rail, he may just decide to finish one.

I actually like Snow On Texas best, he hasn't done anything wrong yet.

This race is borderline horrid for a bunch of three year olds. Did you notice every horse in the race is coming off at least a 60 day layoff? No telling what we are going to get today. A bigger bankroll could go 7 or 8 deep here.

I can see Snow On Texas because as you said, he hasn't done anything wrong yet. I may actually try and work him in on a ticket somewhere. I would actually use Salty's Express before Northern Texas. At least the 2nd and 3rd place winners from his last race came right back to win.

My turn for the Salty's Express?!? Yeah those two horses came back and won, but Salty was 10 lengths behind them and the race was cheaper than this one. Oh yeah, that race was almost two years ago. The cherry on top is that Liz Cedeno is the worst jock on the grounds. She could be on the second coming of Secretariat and I wouldn't bet the horse.

Arterburn's horses are running out of their skin so far this meet.

The Gatis/Gatis double is going to pay about $4
