Belterra Park - Race #5 - Post: 2:05pm - Maiden Special - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $23,700 Class Rating: 54

Rating:

#2 TWISTED JUSTICE (ML=5/2)

TWISTED JUSTICE - Finished runner-up, but easily second over the third horse. Those types usually run well next time out. I think this filly is very fit right now. I like the fact that Smith brings her back to a race so quickly. Another way to assign class is earnings per race. This horse has the highest in the field. I think she'll be close at the finish line.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 PRIDE AND ATTITUDE (ML=7/2), #1 OFFICE CHATTER (ML=4/1), #3 LATE BLOOMBOPPER (ML=9/2),

PRIDE AND ATTITUDE - No picnic to wager on any horse in a short distance event if she hasn't hit the board in a sprint in the last couple months. OFFICE CHATTER - Can't bet on this horse in today's sprint of 6 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance affair lately. LATE BLOOMBOPPER - I foretell a letdown for this animal in this affair.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - TWISTED JUSTICE - I love to bet on horses which always finished in the money. Couldn't ask for much more out of this one. Let's bet on her.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Have to go with #2 TWISTED JUSTICE on the win end if we get at least 1/1 odds
EXACTA WAGERS:	2 with [1,6]

Race 3 - Maiden Claiming - 6.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $25000 Class Rating: 58

FOR ACCREDITED OKLAHOMA-BREDS MAIDENS, TWO YEARS OLD. WEIGHT, 118 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $30,000.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 10 ROCKET SOCKS 5/1
# 3 C B'S FLAT OUT 4/1
# 9 FLAT HANBY 9/2

My pick in here is ROCKET SOCKS. Likely to see this animal to be close up at the finish versus these mounts. Always good to invest in a trainer with this kind of very good win percentage - 15 percent - at this distance & surface. Davidson has shown excellent profits (+3 ROI ) with horses in dirt sprint events. C B'S FLAT OUT - Has to be given consideration as he drops to compete against this easier lot. Gladd has one of the most competitive winning percentages in this group with entries running at this distance and surface. FLAT HANBY - The Equibase class rating of today's race is much lower than his last contest.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 MIDWAY MISCHIEF 6/1
# 7 MIGHTY SEA 2/1
# 6 SIR SAMUEL 4/1

My selection for this event is MIDWAY MISCHIEF. Is worth considering and may be a bet - strong Equibase Speed Figures (77 average) at today's distance and surface lately. Recent figs for the jockey - 23 win percent - make this gelding stand out in this group. Ought to go to the front end and might never look back. MIGHTY SEA - Reason to like this gelding as he has in the saddle one of the best jocks using winning percentages over the last 30 days. Should be considered based on the very good speed figure posted in the last contest. SIR SAMUEL - Has been running solidly lately and should be up near the front end early on. Has performed strongly recently in route races, posting a nifty 76 avg speed rating.

Delaware Park - Race #6 - Post: 3:00pm - Maiden Special - 7.5 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $38,000 Class Rating: 71

Rating:

#2 HOYA (ML=8/1)
#8 FAVORITE HAUNT (ML=3/1)
#6 BEYOND REPROACH (ML=10/1)

HOYA - You'll be making money right and left by turning your cash onto this rider/trainer combination. This mount could be tough in today's contest, especially since Arroyo rode last time out and now should be acquainted with this one. Look for this one to go all the way home at some decent odds right here. Ran fifth in last race, but not more than 5 from the lead at the finish line. This thoroughbred ran out of the money at Delaware Park last race out on the soft turf. He should improve right here without the off-track conditions. FAVORITE HAUNT - A winning percent like 30 is tremendous for any jock/trainer duo. BEYOND REPROACH - Atop this horse on August 24th and Marin is right back in the irons in this race.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 DRILLING FOR GOLD (ML=2/1), #5 DEVINE FLAMEAWAY (ML=5/1), #1 DERBYNESS (ML=8/1),

DRILLING FOR GOLD - Tough to wager on any racer in a short distance race at 2/1 when he hasn't shown any competitive efforts in sprints in the last couple of months. Tough to go with this mount at 7 1/2 furlongs after showcasing no speed at 1 mile. DEVINE FLAMEAWAY - Unlikely for this participant to make an impact with no recent success in a sprint clash. DERBYNESS - Doesn't appear to be in a satisfactory situation this time out.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Play #2 HOYA to win if you can get odds of 5/2 or more

CONSORTIUM CHOICES
	# 4 SWEET BOY BEN 8/5
# 3 SENNA 7/2
# 1 BLUE BAYOU DEO 7/2

SWEET BOY BEN looks like our best wagering option in this race. This contest could be controlled by this gelding. A single look at the avgerage speed rating will prove that. The 91 avg class rating may give this gelding a distinct advantage in the grouping. Worth considering in this contest if only for the really strong speed rating recorded in the most recent contest. SENNA - Could very well be the most respectable in the field of horses here, showing formidable numbers of late. Average speed is a solid 85. A competitive class horse cannot be forgotten. With an average class figure of 87 all signs point to yes. BLUE BAYOU DEO - Looks like a strong selection in this field of starters and her better than average winning percentage says she has the determination to score in this contest. Battling competently, achieved a very compelling TrackMaster speed fig in her last race (84).

After thorough analysis by the number crunching team, LIFE ON THE BLUF comes out as the top play. Could surprise us at a decent price. Don't leave out. Earned a 72 speed figure last time out. A duplicate performance here should get the victory in here. EDVARD PALEMA S - That 75 speed figure clocked in the most recent affair puts this harness racer in the mix for this one. Svanstedt has been en fuego over the last 30 days, winning at a formidable 39 percent. SMART SCHOONER - The group can't help but lean toward this race horse because the internal pace figures fit well here at Meadowlands. Can't pass over the connections here, a 35 winning pct, one of the most competitive at getting into the winners circle.

“What You Need to Know” – Del Mar

Grade Descriptions:
Grade A=Highest degree of confidence
Grade B=Solid Play.
Grade C=Least preferred or pass
Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 1: Post: 3:00 PT Grade: B-
Main ticket (in order of preference): 4-Top Gun Tommy; 1-Doo Wop Don
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: Top Gun Tommy arrives from the East seeking ship-and-win bonus purse money in this modest $10,000 claiming sprint for older horses and will outclass this field if he has at least one good one left. The big class dropper now in the Jeff Mullins barn has mostly been a middle distance performer throughout his career but against this group he should be just fine at this six furlong trip. The local workouts aren’t flashy, but the pattern is steady and should have him fit enough in his first start since early June. For protection, you may want to include Doo Wop Don on your ticket. He’s back at his winning level in his second start off a layoff and always has been a fairly consistent sort (first or second in 12 of 26 career starts). If he can secure a good trip form his rail post, the Dialed In gelding should make some noise late.

*

RACE 2: Post: 3:33 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 7-Soho; 9-Avoir
Backups/savers: none.

Forecast: Soho is a first timer from the John Sadler showing a string of strong works that should make her fit and ready for a winning performance first crack out of the box. The $625,000 yearling purchase by City of Light is bred to like grass on the dam’s side, and if she runs to her main track drills in this five furlong dash she should be hard to deny. She is listed at 5-1 on the morning line but we suspect she’ll go lower. Avoir finished second in a fast, highly rated dash over this course and distance in her debut last month and on paper clearly looks the best of those that have run. The barn has strong stats with the second times starter angle and picks up leading rider Juan Hernandez. Preference on top goes to Soho but both should be used in rolling exotic play.

*

RACE 3: Post: 4:04 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 4-Havoc
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: Havoc is a first-off-the-claim play for Kristin Mulhall after finishing a strong third in a similar maiden $50,000 seller last month, and not much improvement will be required to handle this soft task. Although failing at 3/5 after pressing the pace and then losing his steam close home, the son of Sir Prancealot removes blinkers (love this angle), has worked nicely since raced, and should appreciate this shortening in trip to five furlongs. In an empty affair, let’s make him a win play and rolling exotic single and hope to get close to his morning line of 5/2.

*

RACE 4: Post: 4:35 PT Grade: B-
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 2-Mystic Flyer; 6-Stamp My Passport; 8-Dont Fight the Fed
Backups/savers: 1-Nauvoo.

Forecast: Here’s a challenging race that requires a spread in rolling exotic play. Mystic Flyer represents a reasonable gamble at 6-1 on the morning line in this state-bred allowance optional claiming main track miler for older horses. This will be his first try around two turns, and we’ve always believed that the first time is always the best time for a stretch out play for a gelding bred to run long and adding blinkers for the first time. The Michael McCarthy barn has solid stats with this angle, and it would not be surprising to see this son of Danzing Candy inherit an ideal pace stalking trip. On pure numbers, he’s right there with these. Stamp My Passport has solid form at this level and should be in the fray throughout. He finished three lengths clear of the rest when second over this track and distance last month and is lightly raced with further improvement possible. Dont Fight the Fed graduated in gate-to-wire style last month while earning a good number, but likely will be relegated to a stalking role with other speed types drawn inside. He’s shown he can do that, and with speed figures rising with each outing the Nyquist colt is a major player and a “must use.”

*

RACE 5: Post: 5:06 PT Grade: B
Main ticket (in order of preference): 5-Bajan Bashert; 1-Sand to Sea
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: Bajan Bashert stretches out to a mile following a pair of solid sprint efforts over the local lawn in this state-bred maiden special weight affair for older fillies and mares. She projects to have a strong pace presence from the start under top rider Juan Hernandez for a trainer that has superior stats with this angle (27%, powerful ROI) and seems set for a career top performance. The Mark Glatt-trained filly offers good value at 4-1 on the morning line if you can get it. Sand to Sea missed by a head sprinting on dirt in a sharp performance last month and today tries two new things (two turns, grass) in just her second career outing. She’s guaranteed a good ground-saving trip from the rail and perhaps a role as the controlling speed as well. Both should be included in rolling exotic play, with the main push going to Bajan Bashert.

*

RACE 6: Post: 5:37 PT Grade: C+
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 2-Lord Prancealot; 5-Last Call London; 6-Mici’s Express.
Backups/savers: none.

Forecast: This year’s edition of the I’m Smokin Stakes is basically a replay of the recent Graduation Stakes for California-bred juveniles as it features the first three finishers of that race that hit the wire within a length of each. So, which one will improve the most? Lord Prancealot is undefeated in two outings and is the quickest of the group, but today must navigate an extra half furlong after barely surviving at five and one-half furlongs last time out. Last Call London didn’t get the best of trips, finished strongly, but simply ran out of room when falling a head short. Mici’s Express, third but closing fastest of all, seems to have found his niche as a late-running sprinter and could easily wear down the leaders late. In a race that we’ll otherwise pass, all three should be included in rolling exotic play.

*

RACE 7: Post: 6:08 PT Grade: B-
Main ticket (in order of preference): Impec; 4-Roscoe Village; 2-Zona Verde
Backups/Savers/Underneath: none.

Forecast: This grass grab bag for maiden juvenile fillies offers several possibilities, some at very good prices. Impec is a nicely bred daughter of Siyouni with a useful series of workouts that should have her fit enough for a strong effort in her debut. She was visually pleasing in a solid gate work Sept. 3 while displaying pretty good speed, so at 12-1 on the morning line the John Sadler-trained Irish-bred may be worth a flyer. Roscoe Village, third over this course and distance in a similar affair in late July, has a steadily improving pattern and should produce another forward move. She’s likely to draft into comfortable second flight early position and have every chance from there. Willa T has trained reasonably well for Tim Yakteen and certainly has the pedigree (Oscar Performance) to move up a ton on turf. We have a feeling she’s a bit better than her morning line of 8-1 would suggest.

*

RACE 8: Post: 6:39 PT Grade: B-
Main ticket: (in order of preference): Danzing Cat; 1-Big Novel; Diamonds Danzing.
Backups/savers: none.

Forecast: Danzing Cat lost a heartbreaker to stable mate She’s Bulletproof in a similar state-bred first level allowance main track sprint last month in a race that produced a career top speed figure and with another forward move today at this extended sprint she should be able to regain her winning form. The Peter Miller-trained sophomore has a good stalking style and looks the best of the lost at 7/2 on the morning line. Big Novel has been a money burner of late and may be inconvenienced by the rail, but on her best day she’s right there with these and shows the always dangerous route-to-sprint angle while switching to top rider Juan Hernandez for the first time. We’ll give her one more chance. Diamonds Danzing graduated sprinting on grass last time out but her career top number was earned when second two runs back on dirt at Santa Anita, and a repeat of that race today makes her a contender.

Al Cimaglia: The Meadows Late Pick 4 Analysis

September 8, 2023 | By Al Cimaglia
The Meadows has a 13-race card set to start at 5:10 PM EST. The headliners are two-and three-year-olds competing in the Pennsylvania Stallion Series Finals. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 rolls in Race 10, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10 (8:19 PM EST)

3-Idiosyncratic (4-1)-Hasn't taken a picture since May but has posted a win at The Meadows and the program chalk hasn't. Raced evenly in last but could get the pocket tonight. Has enough gate speed to get a cozy trip right behind Flash Move.
4-Flash Move (8/5)-Has 5 wins but has only raced here once and finished 3rd. Seems to do better racing near the top of the stack and will be a short price. Dave Palone takes the lines, he should be able to muscle his way to the lead when the wings fold and could be tough to catch.

Race 11 (8:40 PM EST)

2-Rose Run Whitney (8/5)-Had been cashing checks versus better, dropped, then broke at the start last time and lost all chance. This is a logical choice that will be a short price and has won 13 of 51 at The Meadows.
6-Warrawee Whisper (6-1)-Has cashed checks versus better and has the gate speed to get an up-close seat. Did miss a start but could surprise if dialed on high and gets a sharp steer.

Race 12 (9:01 PM EST)

2-Mis Imprint (5/2)-Won her last start against this kind and had the rail. Draws inside again but doesn't usually leave hard but has the ability to come off cover. Comes right back and should be a main player.
4-Now Wish Me Luck (3-1)-Beaten 7/5 chalk returns to face the same class and may get the jump on the one above. Gets a new set of hands in Drew Monti and should be forwardly placed throughout.

Race 13 (9:22 PM EST)

4-Easter Lily (3/2)-This mare is not having a great year but drops to a spot to shine. Faces a soft group and should cash the top check with a clean trip.

0.50 Late Pick 4

3,4/2,6/2,4/4
Total Bet=$4
