Calder Race Course
Anthony Schweiker (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 8: Lucas Brady (PP: 6 ML 2-1)
Anthony’s Comments:
“is fresh off his shocking win in the Birdonthewire Stakes on ‘Festival of the Sun’ day. He went into that race with a respectable record, but turned into a monster at just the right time. If he repeats that effort, no one can touch him today.”

Golden Gate Fields
Chuck Dybdal (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 2: Perfect Hostess (PP: 2 ML 8/5)
Chuck’s Comments:
“was claimed this summer at Del Mar. She came north for the first time and won her first start here as the favorite. She set a pressured pace but was able to pull clear late. She drops a notch here, but there’s not much difference between the two levels.”

“romped by 5 in debut in faster time than anyone else in the remainder of the field has traveled in a combined 104 races.”
Oak Tree at Santa Anita Race Track
Brad Free (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 4: I Can Hear (PP: 5 ML 5/2)
Brad’s Comments:
“Third in a fast-pace race dominated by closers last out, I CAN HEAR goes route to sprint and catches a shallow field of California-bred fillies. The in-form filly proved in winter she can sprint, and on paper appears to be the most probable winner on the card.”
Saratoga Raceway (harness)
Sardella’s Selections (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 3: Sams Shuffle (PP: 1 ML 4/5)

“Dominates these, best bet.”

Best Bet – Race 7: Volcano Alley (PP: 5 ML 5/2)
Jim’s Comments:
“had Sutherland aboard last time and she has had good fringe results with this one lately; she was head and head for the lead between runners through the stretch but a preferred winner was narrowly better along the inside; she gets her third start of the month; she has had a busy schedule.”
Abernathy (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 7: Volcano Alley (PP: 5 ML 5/2)
