Calder Race Course
Anthony Schweiker (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 6: Ashley’s Code (PP: 2 ML 2-1)
Anthony’s Comments:
has been knocking on the door when facing higher priced maidens. She’s been second or third in each, the only exceptions being a fourth and last time out in a turf try. She drops in to the lowest level today and picks up Saez.”
Toby Callet (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 11: Strong Star (PP: 2 ML 4-1)

Delaware Park
Rick Smyth (delawareonline.com)
Best Bet – Race 4: Go Yankees (PP: 1 ML 2-1)
Rick’s Comments:
The logical choice.”

Del Mar Racetrack
Brad Free (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 10: Carrie Rose (PP: 2 ML 3-1)
Brad’s Comments:
drops in class and shortens to a sprint after a respectable third-place finish in a fast-pace route for Calbred maiden-40s. Her front-running style is more appropriate for sprints; this is the first time she has raced at the rock-bottom maiden-25 level. Trainer Mike Mitchell is putting jockey Mike Smith on a likely winner.”

Emerald Downs
Gary Dougherty (seattletimes.com)
Best Bet – Race 4: Polish Dollar (PP: 1 ML 6-1)
Gary’s Comments:
who returns sprinting, flopped at the mile distance but sure looked sharp winning his last sprint for trainer Brad Varner, who is having his best EmD season.”
Best Bet – Race 9: Bar Room Girl (PP: 3 ML 5/2)
Gary’s Comments:
is entered right back at the $3,500 level after taking two of her past three starts.”

Ran into a tough one last time in this condition. No such rival in this event.”
Long Shot – Race 3: Alex The Barber (PP: 3 ML 15-1)
Lake’s Comments:
Goes preferable distance and may have been too close to the pace last time.”
Long Shot – Race 5: Gone For Boots (PP: 1 ML 8-1)
Lake’s Comments:
Has been no worse than 4th in last 3 starts at this level. Chance again at 8-1 ml.”

was a game second in return from 14-month absence, then caught a hard turf course at Monmouth vs. Two Notch Road, who wired the field and came back to set the pace in Colonial Turf Cup & Va. Derby; back to distance of both wins and in for a tag after going 1 1/4 miles vs. much tougher group.”
