Arlington - Race #7 - Post: 4:39pm - Claiming - 7.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $10,000 Class Rating: 86
Rating:




#7 TRAVEL WEST (ML=8/1)
#9 PAPA CALIENTE (ML=5/1)
#6 BOOTLEGGIN (ML=5/2)
TRAVEL WEST - Faced tougher last time around the track at Arlington. Based on class ratings, this is a weaker bunch, so I will put this one on my list of contenders in this race. PAPA CALIENTE - This gelding is in excellent physical condition right now. Ended up third last race out and comes back soon. This gelding notched a nice rating of 82 in his last race. That speed rating should be good enough to win this time out. Recent Equibase speed figures show solid pattern of improvement. BOOTLEGGIN - A win pct the likes of what Valdivia and Rivelli have achieved together is fantastic. Possibly a peak effort for this gelding today. Been getting closer with each recent start. This gelding is in first-rate condition right now. Finished third in the last race and comes back rapidly.
Vulnerable Contenders: #5 TOUCH OF DISNEY (ML=7/2), #2 ZIMMERMAN (ML=9/2), #1 LANDING GEAR (ML=6/1),
TOUCH OF DISNEY - When looking at today's class rating, he will have to record a better speed rating than in the last race to be competitive in this dirt sprint. ZIMMERMAN - Hard to bet this one after not being up front at 1 mile and now being put in a race of 7 furlongs. No picnic to invest in any thoroughbred in a sprint event at 9/2 when he hasn't shown any successful endeavors in sprints in the last sixty days. LANDING GEAR - Never really did much at all last time out on Aug 24th. Hard to bet on today.
