Al Cimaglia: May 25-Scioto Downs Pick 5 Analysis

May 25, 2020 | By Al Cimaglia
Tonight, Scioto Downs has increased the 0.50 Pick 5 guarantee to $20,000 which should lead to a larger pool. The Pick 5 starts in Race 5, it has a 14% takeout and appears to be a challenging sequence.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 5

4-Bettor's Dream (4-1)-Six-year-old makes first start at ScD off a sharp qualifier. Miller picked #7 instead but Page has been doing well. This is a tough race but could score with a top effort.
5-Picard A (4-1)- Qualifier was better than the line looks and should enjoy the company. Raced evenly last week, but went the back half in .57, last 1/4 in 28.2 and could be sitting on a big try coming off the bench.
7-Don't Ask Logan (5-1)-Likes to get on the engine and was used hard to get the lead. Faded down the lane in qualifier but the 27.1 opening quarter from the 7-hole was quick. Should be tighter and could make every call a winning one.

Race 6

1-Elm Grove Maddy (7/2)-Even qualifier but in a spot to get sucked around and roll by late. 0-10 this year but that may not tell the entire story. Off-track record is only 2-28 and 7 of 10 starts in 2020 have been on a wet surface.
2-I M Mccited (9/2)-Tuned up in Delaware and shows a win in 6 starts at ScD. Looking for Miller to provide a good journey and have in striking range. Using at a square price in another contentious race.
5-Stay Gold (5/2)-Fits with this crew, has two wins in 13 starts at ScD. If Brewer finds some live cover it could be picture time.

Race 7

5-Ucrywheniflyby (5-1)-Went the back half in 57.2 in qualifier and Sutton can find some live cover from this post. Looks like a player at a fair price if keeps trotting.
10-Toasted By Twelve (9/1)-Makes 2nd start on Lasix and was staked in Ohio last year. Morgan trainee did win his barn debut. Looking for another big try here if Miller works a trip and keeps his mind on business.

Race 8

1-Elmo Blatch (5/2)-Comes off two nice qualifiers and it seems like breaking issues may have been solved. Will use and then look to the outside instead of #4 the program chalk, who is 0-6 at ScD.
7-Cowboy Country (6-1)-Tuned-up nicely at Nfld and now makes first start at ScD. Should like the company and if is in striking range at the 3/4's chances for success go up.
8-Stonebridge Symba (6-1)-Makes first start on Lasix and kept coming in last week's qualifier. Does need the right trip but has faced better. Looks to be worth a swing at 6-1 in the ML and thinking Miller will provide a good steer.

Race 9

2-Star Guitar (3-1)-Agreeing with the program odds in this event and looking for a big effort. Will use the 2nd ML chalk and hope he is racing close to the lead turning for home.
3-Always A Fiji (2-1)-Makes first lifetime start at ScD and lands in a good spot. Team Brewer trainee has some versatility and should be able to capture third win of 2020 at a short price with a decent trip.

0.50 Pick 5
4,5,7/1,2,5/5,10/1,7,8/2,3
Total Bet=$54

Brian Nadeau's Daily Picks

Gulfstream Park - Race #8

#5 Hieroglyphics	Stiff class dropper will now run at a more proper level second-off the Maker-Dubb claim, has been facing much better, drew well, and will be just off the speed; look out.
#4 My Point Exactly	Pace presser has been firing big numbers and has been in great form against better, so he'll like this drop too, and he figures to get first run off the turn; the one to beat.
#2 Zippy	Longshot drew well and has quietly been running some biggies, and there's pace here to set him up, so at a big number he may spice it up underneath; exotics appeal.
Race Summary	You can't make up how incorrect this 12-1 ML is on the pick, but even 9-2 or so for potent connections, with an in-form horse on a sizable class drop, seems fair value, so play him in all the slots, and especially to kick off the late Pk5 as well, since he seems primed to fire a big shot against a group that will be a lot more to his liking that the ones he's been facing.

Gulfstream Park - Race #9

#3 Septemberten	Major player has a pressing/stalking gear in a race with a lot of speed, ran well while facing winners last time, and looks primed to build off that; love his chances here.
#1 Unpublished	Logical sort has been running well in some fast Florida breds races, is another who can sit just off the pace, fits nicely on paper, and will be a price too; very playable.
#4 Jungle Warrior	Stretch runner goes off the claim for Cartagena, an relatively unknown barn but one that is 2-for-7 with this angle, and the price and pace will be right too; worth a look.
Race Summary	The 3 really should be favored, as the two Rivelli returnees outside (#8 and #9) are off long layoffs (albeit for a potent long layoff barn) and are complete unknowns on the dirt (former) against 3up (both), while the pick has been firing right along, so play him aggressively to win and place, while getting some added value by keying him in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well, since he seems to be getting all the best of it here, yet you might get $9 to win on him if the tote breaks your way.

Gulfstream Park - Race #10

#6 Souper Courage	Stretch runner made a hug middle move them tired two-back, then was mired in traffic last time and didn't get clear until too late, but is in fine form, will be a price, and needs only a clear, well-timed ride to get there; finally his time.
#4 Machiavelli	Lightly raced and improving runner just-missed while closing stoutly and beating the pick last time, and he's still got upside off just six starts, but he'll be overbet off this last, and his margin for error is a slim one; plenty scary, but no lock.
#12 Valdolobo	Dropper is the one to beat on a normal day, but when you draw the 12-hole here going 1m on turf, nothing is normal, so sure, he can still win, but at an underlaid price from the parking lot, you've got to look around; making him prove it.
Race Summary	The price will be right on the 6, even though he's right there with the 4 and 12 on paper and is overdue for a bit of luck too, so play him in all the slots, and especially in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well, since he could fall through the wagering cracks a bit, which means a win in the $12 range might play a lot longer in both sequences.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Santa Anita - Race #1

#7 Big Runneur	Tactical type gets blinkers today off the bench, and he has proven an affinity for this trip in the past. If he fires fresh, he's there.
#8 Torosay	Turned in a clunker in the big one last time out, but he's got every right to bounce back off that effort with this softer bunch.
#12 Castle Gate	Would want a fair number here considering the two turf tries weren't a whole lot to look at, but the comeback run was excellent, and he's a threat if he can transfer that form to the lawn.
Race Summary	Big Runneur should be tough from close range, and the addition of blinkers might be what he needs to get over the top.

Santa Anita - Race #5

#1 Stealthediamonds	Didn't miss by much when facing the boys last time out, and though there is some other speed in here, she's going to make a break for it from the inside and might be able to hang around late.
#7 Jolie Olympica	Hasn't done much wrong in two starts here, and she's got positional pace to sit close even on the cutback.
#2 Oleksandra	Returns off the October layoff, but she looked good taking the Franklin County at Keeneland last out and has run well over the local footing.
Race Summary	Stealthediamonds is going to have to work for it from the fence, but the price might be right to see if she can't get brave. Jolie Olympica should get the run of the race, but she's likely to offer a short number.

Santa Anita - Race #9

#5 War of Will	He drew a bad post in a minor stakes spot at Gulfstream and scratched from that spot in favor of this one. Bad post or not, it's really interesting to me that Casse preferred to start his campaign in a Grade I than in that minor spot. He's a talent who likes the turf, and I'll read plenty into the power move from the trainer.
#11 River Boyne	Reliable should get a cozy run of things from close range again, but he'll have to overcome a tough post to handle these.
#1 Without Parole	Still can't figure out why this guy was the chalk in the Pegasus World Cup Turf, but the cutback should work in his favor. He ran on well when third behind Uni over this local trip in the Breeders' Cup and factors with anything similar to that.
Race Summary	War of Will is classy enough and talented enough to win this from close range, and the confidence from his team to scratch him from a much softer spot in favor of this Grade I gets him over the top for me.

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Remington Park - Race #2

#4 Dang It Autry	Comes out of good sprints and makes his 1st try at 870; has the speed and class to pass this test.
#1 Inseperable HD	Has a good front-runner in prior 870 starts and comes out of sprints; very capable, especially with the inside post.
#3 A Prize Wagon	Set for his 1st 870 attempt and has been competitive at this level and those slightly above this; can be in the mix from the outset.
Race Summary	Dang It Autry has a class edge and has the speed to get to the lead; tough if he gets clear.

Remington Park - Race #10

#1 Tough to Bee	Seeks his 1st win in two year but has taken on some of the best the game has to offer; drew far outside in two of three starts here this year and can benefit from an inside run tonight.
#4 Eye N Capo	Has taken 12 of 23 and has run against some giants lately; fits well and can be a factor from start to finish.
#3 Hooked on a Win	Won this race last year and took the Mr Jet Moore two back; has plenty of talent and would not be a big surprise.
Race Summary	Tough to Bee was 4th in a blanket finish last time and usually draws outside when he races at Remington; he moves to the rail, which has been quite good lately.

Remington Park - Race #11

#7 Gael Force	Still a maiden but has been very close in all three starts vs. solid company; gets a clear run outside and can get his 1st career victory.
#6 Shaking the Moon	Was a sharp winner in a futurity trial; scored at 43-1 on his debut and fits well in this spot.
#2 Dalts Fancy Pistol	Didn't fire as the favorite in a futurity final and was a convincing winner in two prior start; could return to winning form.
Race Summary	Gael Force has been close and can benefit from being outside traffic; this stakes race is a fine spot for his maiden win.

Gulfstream Park - Race #4 - Post: 2:15pm - Maiden Special - 8.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $45,000 Class Rating: 87

Rating:

#4 ASSUME (ML=5/1)
#5 PRAIRIE WINGS (ML=7/5)
#1 SNEER (ML=7/2)

ASSUME - Filly looks like the lone speed here. She may turn the race into a procession. Always be wary of the longer priced horse when a trainer has an 'uncoupled' entry in a race. I like the fact that this filly's last speed rating, 86, is tops in this field. PRAIRIE WINGS - I like this filly. Has the topmost earnings per race in this one. SNEER - Look for this filly to show lots better in this race. Last event at Gulfstream Park finishing fifth on a sloppy track is no indication of her true talent. Dropping 5 pounds from last race. Could be a deciding factor today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 LASTING UNION (ML=9/2), #6 GIBBERISH (ML=8/1),

LASTING UNION - Just can't play this mount. Didn't show me anything positive last time around the track or on March 29th. GIBBERISH - Pedestrian speed figure last out at Gulfstream Park at 1 mile. Don't feel this racer will improve too much in today's race.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Put your money on #4 ASSUME on the nose if you can get odds of 3/1 or more
EXACTA WAGERS:	4 with [1,5]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Box [1,4,5] Total Cost: $6

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 4 SITTIN AND THINKIN 3/1
# 6 THANKS 2/1
# 2 HOPSCOTCHY 7/2

SITTIN AND THINKIN is my choice. Her 71 average has this filly with among the best speed figures for this race. I think having Gonzalez ride this filly is a smart selection. Has to be given a chance based on the quite good Equibase Speed Fig posted in the last race. THANKS - This filly should be given a shot just off the earnings per start in dirt sprint contests alone. She has been running strongly and the speed figs are among the top in this field. HOPSCOTCHY - Could beat this group of horses given the 74 speed rating posted in her last outing. Shows evidence of the look of a profitable play, averaging a solid 67 speed fig which is one of the best in this field.

Race 4 - Maiden - 350y on the Dirt. Purse: $11555 Class Rating: 73

QUARTER HORSE 350Y, FOR REGISTERED NEW MEXICO BRED MAIDENS, THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE YEARS OLD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 126 LBS.; OLDER, 128 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 3 LIONESSE 15/1
# 6 KNOCKOUT CHICK 3/1
# 4 BLUE DADDY CARTEL 15/1

I've got to go with LIONESSE and could score at a price in here. Garnered a strong Equibase Speed Figure in the last race. Can run another good one in this affair. KNOCKOUT CHICK - Demonstrates the look of a profitable play, averaging a solid 75 speed figure which is one of the top in this group of animals. Ramirez will almost certainly be able to get this filly to break out quickly for this race. BLUE DADDY CARTEL - With a solid 58 average speed rating at the distance, seems well suited for today's race. The average class figure alone makes this horse a contender.

Churchill Downs - Race #7 - Post: 4:08pm - Maiden Special - 6.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $79,000 Class Rating: 78

Rating:

#4 MARKET RUMOR (ML=6/1)
#6 CLAUDETTE NONSTOP (ML=12/1)

MARKET RUMOR - Wilkes brings her back again. I propose you stay with this hot filly. The April 26th race at Gulfstream Park was at a class level of (85). Dropping down the ladder based on class rating points a significant amount, so she should be in a good position. Should do well right here in this race. Weight shift of -5 from April 26th race at Gulfstream Park. CLAUDETTE NONSTOP - Horses that finish 2nd in Maiden races and finish well in front of the 3rd horse are generally good bets next time out. This filly has 'tactical' speed, Jimenez will use this advantage by laying in the catbird's seat behind the pace, and getting first run on the leaders. This animal has increased her speed ratings from a fig of 53 to 63 to 77 in succession.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 UNION MAIDEN (ML=7/2), #7 KINDA LUCKY (ML=5/1), #8 STRIPPING (ML=5/1),

UNION MAIDEN - Finished fifth last time. Would have to improve to be on the board in today's event. KINDA LUCKY - Not a good enough price on this one at the probable odds of 5/1. STRIPPING - Don't think that this filly has value at 5/1 this time around.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - MARKET RUMOR - Playing the top earnings per start thoroughbred is an angle which won't steer you wrong in the long run. I'm betting on this one.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Have to go with #4 MARKET RUMOR on the win end if we get at least 3/2 odds
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [4,6]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Skip

Monday, May 25: Ruidoso Downs Full-Card Picks

May 25, 2020
From Ruidoso Downs Handicapper, Tim Keithley

Race 1 (3:00PM ET) - Optional Claiming ($10K) - $10,185 - 7 1/2 Furlongs

WILMAS’S IRISH ROVER (#1) is a significant class dropper here; competed for $30k last time the gelding was on the local track; let’s go.
HOWDY (#8) is still plenty feisty for an eight-year-old; 45 lifetime starts and $280k in earnings.
REBACK HOME (#7) is a grizzled veteran race horse with 25 local starts and 10 wins.

Race 2 (3:25PM ET) - Maiden Claiming ($6.5K) - $6,720 - 300 Yards

STREAKIN RECKLESS (#2) was dq’d out of maiden win here last summer; still lookin’ for that elusive first win—maybe today.
JR LITTLE REGARD (#7) has a recent nice work to consider; 11.91 seconds at 220.
VOICE OF ACTION (#5) is at lowest claiming level of the gelding’s career; capable of an upset.

Race 3 (3:50PM ET) - Claiming ($10K) - $9,765 - 5 Furlongs

ANOTHER BROTHER (#7) is a local favorite with bettors; 8 of 10 lifetime in the money at Ruidoso Downs.
AMOR N PASION (#8) just won a claiming race by 16 lengths? Muddy track and the forecast calls for rain Monday afternoon.
WHEREDOESTHECASHGO (#2) is the early speedster; let’s see if she gets caught.

Race 4 (4:15PM ET) - Maiden Special Weigh - $11,555 - 350 Yards

KNOCKOUT CHICK (#6) was always the bridesmaid last year with three second-place finishes; let’s bet across just in case.
JESS A DASHER (#1) was thrown into he wolves last fall over at Zia Park; this bunch looks easier so expect improvement.
DADDYS FASTER (#8) seems to hang around other runners without winning; expect the same.

Race 5 (4:40PM ET) - Maiden Special Weight - $8,190 - 300 Yards

DF FABULOUS FIRE (#6) was an impressive schooling race winner; gaining experience here for later in the summer.
JLC STEAL YOUR CASH (#7) races alongside the top pick; gotta help his chances.
JALAPENO BABY (#1) is 12-1; worth strong consideration is wide-open event.

Race 6 (5:05PM ET) - Claiming ($5K) - $7,350 - 5 1/2 Furlongs

MY BOY ZAYN (#4) shortens up the distance and drops in class; let’s go.
SICULO (#3) is the wildcard we’re dealing with here—previous Delmar lines create a big question mark.
FIELD GENERAL (#1) drips in class today; inconsistent sort—prefer top pick.

Race 7 (5:30PM ET) - Claiming ($5K) - $7,350 - 400 Yards

PR VOLCOM (#7) won in January; that’s more than the others can report.
ABOUTI TOO SHOES (#9) lights the board half the time; betting across.
Y YOU SO MEAN (#8) is the class dropper; should race much improved.

Race 8 (5:55PM ET) - Claiming ($7.5K) - $10,150 - 5 Furlongs

A ZENON NITE (#8) goes from mid-level allowance to claiming ranks; let’s get our picture taken here.
DRIVE THRU GARY (#4) has been racing much improved; 6-1 is a fair price.
ICED (#2) is a longshot with a chance; big class dropper at 10-1.

Race 9 (6:20PM ET) - Allowance - $15,205 - 300 Yards

VEERY’S VERSION (#9) keeps cashing paychecks time after time and trainer Barton finds a nice spot to drop the mare into without fear of claiming.
HOLLYWOOD N CROWN (#10) should race alongside top pick to make one another run faster.
GO BIGG DADDY (#2) has one start and one win; can’t do much better than that.

RACE 10 (6:45PM ET) - Allowance - $14,955 - 5 1/2 Furlongs

EVACUEE (#4) is our best bet of the day for Fincher barn; here’s a youngster that competed for $100k at Sunland and runs for minor allowance purse.
INDEFINATELY (#9) impressed many in the spring with a five length score; tougher field today.
SEVEN SILVER COINS (#6) will likely outbreak the top two selections and set the pace; here they come.

Race 11 (7:10PM ET) - John Andreini Memorial - $40,000 - 350 Yards

CONSIGLIERE (#4) had a three-race win streak until last time at Remington; clearly a top-notch race horse.
BOTTICELLI (#7) is an eight-year-old that has won four in a row; obviously appears to be in top form.
FLASH FOR CORONA (#6) is 15-1 and on a two-race win streak? Worth a buck or two.

Race 12 (7:35PM ET) - Maiden Claiming ($6.5K) - $8,470 - 5 1/2 Furlongs

MAIL MAN M G (#7) is a class dropper with a talented rider; like his chances.
FORTY FIVES STORM (#10) already won but suffered a dq; knows how to win.
JEWEL OF NAVARONE (#4) will keep running till the wire; gotta use in exotics.
