Rip’s Picks (nj.com)
Best Bet – Race 5: Laudable (PP: 7 ML 12-1)
Rip’s Comments:
“needed last, drops, Cohen’s pick instead of riding for hot Cody.”
Dave Litfin (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 5: Clemens (PP: 2 ML 3-1)
Dave’s Comments:
“weakened and was outfinished for the place by longshot FRENCH TRANSITION when 3-5 first time over the inner track, but was reclaimed by Dominic Galluscio, for whom he won two of three dirt starts last year; may bounce back at a better price.”
Calder Race Course
Anthony Schweiker (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 3: Storm On The Track (PP: 4 ML 3-1)
Anthony’s Comments:
“made his return to the races after a fifteen month layoff by using a turf sprint to tighten the screws. Turf is his game, sprinting is not but, with that one under his belt he should be ready for the step down in company.”

Best Bet – Race 1: Wall of Worry (PP: 8 ML 3-1)
Bob’s Comments:
“was outrun in a sprint on a sloppy track in a solid group of maidens in her debut, might get a favorable trip close to the pace as she stretches out and moves to claiming company.”
Long Shot – Race 6: Four Bears (PP: 3 ML 8-1)
Bob’s Comments:
“finished second in her debut in a dirt sprint won by eventual stakes winner Sheer Beauty, is bred to handle this distance on turf.”
Golden Gate Fields
Chuck Dybdal (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 8: Micah’s Son (PP: 2 ML 7/5)
Chuck’s Comments:
“comes north off a pair of decent races down south. Sprinted for a tag in his debut, and was on the pace before fading against straight maidens in a route in his second start. He’s back to a sprint here and at the lowest level of his career. Has a series of solid works over the track.”
House Handicapper
Best Bet – Race 5: Midnite in Kona (PP: 2 ML 8/5)
Comments:
“Seeks 4 in a row.”
Santa Anita Race Track
Brad Free (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 6: Sweet Hanni (PP: 6 ML 7/2)
Brad’s Comments:
“enters as the deserving favorite and most probable winner on the card. The 2-year-old maiden filly finished a close third in a fast race against similar early this month; the race was validated when runner – up Yankee Romance and sixth-place Euro Gal both returned to win. SWEET HANNI missed by only a half-length, and though she shows no published workouts since raced, trainer Vladimir Cerin does not always show his cards in the morning. SWEET HANNI can win this maiden-75 with an effort similar to her debut.”
