[Bogey]

Everyone is gearing up for next weekend, but some pretty nice opportunities to make a score on Saturday. The Mark Johnson era officially begins today as he be only the 6th race caller at CD.


Calder Race Course - All Stakes Big 4

R7 - G2 La Prevoyante (Turf)

#4 Criticism - Multiple G3 winner looks to have it her own way on the front. WON

R8 - Emergency Nurse

#6 Annabill - Back to her favorite strip and she's looking for her 1st win in '09. WON
#2 Tiara Di Oro - J/T combo lethal and this grey filly should not have a problem with two turns.
#7 Eclisse (Fr) - She was competitive on the lawn last year and must be considered here.

R9 - G3 Miami Mile (Turf)

#6 Mambo Meister - I really liked all three races this year at GP and looks to get a favorable trip right off the pace.
#1 Vanquisher - Closer will be at the mercy of the pace, but must include on Big 4 ticket.
#2 Rogue Victory - Ditto to #1.
#10 Baron Von Tap - Ships in from TBD and adds blinkers for K. Ziadie. Capable of taking them along way.
#12 Wesley - Big grey adds the hood and the trip back to the lawn might wake up the former G2 winner. WON

Ex Box 6 / 1 2 10 12

R10 - Sumter

#8 Finallymadeit - Makes 7th start of the year, which includes a win in the G3 Skip Away and 2nds in the G1 Donn and G3 GPH. Loves CRS 26 starts and 13 victories.
#6 Dream Maestro - Stalker in good form and if #8 is not on his A game, he's the one. 2nd

Big 4 - 4 / 2 6 7 / 1 2 6 10 12 / 6 8 = $15 for a $.50 play - I'll punch it few times.


Churchill Downs

R10 - G3 Derby Trial

#5 Santana Six - After getting beat by Dunkirk in his debut, he's won back to back one turn races at GP as the favorite. Gets a nice draw here for what should be a stalking trip under Johnny V. Lots to like.
#1 Silver City - Comes back to the scene of his most impressive win (101 BSF) on 11/29/08. Took the Dixieland at OP before just being a pace factor in the G3 Southwest and G2 Rebel. Sprinting is his game.
#8 Kensei - Won comback race earlier this month at OP and eligible to take another step forward. 2nd
#7 Hull - 2 for 2 which includes a Maiden score (97BSF) at the FG and a romp at TP at .05 to the dollar. WON
