The Wood June 5, 2009

[Suffolk Shippers]

Math has usually been quick with the 'Wood thread on Fridays to help me escape my day at work, but nothing today, so here I am...

To announce I'll miss it tonight (I think)....have Red Sox tickets, but the deluge is en route. So, maybe I'll end up 'capping after the rain out and jumping in the late quad, but I think I'm going to save my bullets for tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone!

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I usually cap and post from work. But I actually have the day off today and haven't even had a chance to look at the card. I'll take a look when the boys go to bed tonight.

Here's what I have

Late Pick 4
3,4,7
4,5
4,6
3,4,7,8

Trying to beat the Sadler in the first leg. Just feel this horse needs more ground and will have a tough trip with the outside post.

Also trying to beat Christy's Bullet in the finale. Looks like she'll be the favorite and is already a two-time chalk money burner.

Good luck.

Early 4 PRE scratches
1st
Looks like a chalky start to the early quad.
#1 Mud Sweat n Tears & #6 Standford Dolly seem to be in the best form. Both should be looking for that stalk/closing type trip and should get a fair pace to run at with the 2 & 5 most likely both trying to get the lead.

2nd
Wide open 2 year old affair where I am considering going 6 deep.
#6 Sweet Tiger, #7 Bertran Hill and #9 Wolf Trail all come out of the same race, where the 2nd place finisher won next time out. I also like the 2 Harrington horse to the outside,
#10 Zees Echo (first time starter with good works and trainer winning at 26% with firsters) and
11 Awesome Swiss (making 2nd start and has 4 good works under his belt since his debut).
#4 Chocolate Marini sports a bullet 2 days ago leading into this race.

3rd
#1 Roi Charmant making 2nd off the bench for the hot Truman barn. Gets the rail and will probably try to go wire to wire.
#3 Cayambe sports a bullet for his return after a brief layoff. Stalker also gets some class relief dropping in for 40k.
#4 Shadow of Illinois looking for his 3rd straight win. Trainer has good numbers with his limited starters.
Playing against the Mullins (always dangerous) horse off the layoff here.

4th
#10 Celena ran 4th for statebred 35k last out with 1st time blinkers. Cuts back a panel, drops to open 25k and breaks from the outside.
#3 Ampys Lil Girl just missed at the same level last out. Chris Russell comes over from Los Al for the mount and any type of repeat performance should put her right in the mix.
#1 Kristen's Lil Lady sports a good work heading into this race where she drops a level and gets the rail. Tyler Baze back abord the 3 year old filly, he was abord the first 2 races where she ran second and third. She should be a square price.

1,6
6,7,9,10 (using the 6 now and tossed the 11)
1,3,4
1,3,10
$72
Good Luck

I agree, I really have a hard time getting past the 1 and 6 in the 1st, I don't see anyone else winning the race. It is the 2nd and 4th that give me fits.

33% 2nd off is my only explanation
