Calder Race Course
Anthony Schweiker (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 4: Why I Love You (PP: 8 ML 4-1)
Anthony’s Comments:
“Just missed last time out and defeated the morning line favorite in here. The latter of which has been a disappointment as a heavy favorite in each of her last two .”

Churchill Downs
Jill Byrne (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 8: Our Miss Brookside (PP: 4 ML 5/2)
Jill’s Comments:
“ won off the claim for top connections last out and seems perfectly placed today to get another victory. She picks up Calvin Borel and should find a spot not too far off the speed .”
Long Shot – Race 5: An Heir Of Magic (PP: 6 ML 5/2)
Jill’s Comments:
“ran well off the claim last out in a stronger starter allowance race. He can either be on the lead or stalking in this race, depending on what happens leaving the gate, and may get slightly overlooked with Scariff Island (2) and A. J.’s Conquest (5) taking the attention.”

Delta Downs
Steve Nick (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 10: My First Sign (PP: 7 ML 3/2)
Steve’s Comments:
“1st race here sharp.”
Long Shot – Race 7: Dashin Mr. Partner (PP: 3 ML 5-1)
Steve’s Comments:
“Speed indexes going up.”

Emerald Downs
Gary Dougherty (seattletimes.com)
Best Bet – Race 2: Marvin Stein (PP: 6 ML 3-1)
Gary’s Comments:
“overcame a bunch of trouble to just miss in his last start, and Ricky Frazier is named to ride.”
Best Bet – Race 4: Cliff’s Secret (PP: 2 ML 3-1)
Gary’s Comments:
“was a very impressive debut winner for trainer Jim Penney, who moves her a bunch up in class for start No. 2.”
Long Shot – Race 3: Courageous Jamie (PP: 6 ML 15-1)
Gary’s Comments:
“has struggled to leave the gate in a clean order the past two times she went racing. Could surprise if she breaks with the group.”
Long Shot – Race 7: Fairly Honest (PP: 9 ML 12-1)
Gary’s Comments:
“always runs well off the bench and should be a fat price in a wide-open heat.”

Finger Lakes Race Track
Lake’s Lucky Picks (seattletimes.com)
Best Bet – Race 7: Wiseman’s Prospect (PP: 6 ML 2-1)
Lake’s Comments:
“Stretches out and has run well at loner distance at Finger Lakes.”
Long Shot – Race 1: Not Easy (PP: 3 ML 8-1)
Lake’s Comments:
“Should have plenty of pace to chase.”
Long Shot – Race 4: Fifty Six Straight (SCRATCHED)
Lake’s Comments:
“Decent effort despite breaking slow first time over track.”

Golden Gate Fields
Chuck Dybdal (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 5: Lucky High (PP: 6 ML 5/2)
Chuck’s Comments:
“has shown minor but steady improvement in each of her three starts. She’s by a productive mare whose four previous foals have all won. She’s been a beaten favorite in both starts at this level and will likely go off favored again.”
House Handicapper
Best Bet – Race 4: Apriority (PP: 6 ML 8/5)
Comments:
“Overdue for first win.”

Hollywood Park
Brad Free (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 3: Fantando (PP: 8 ML 1-1)
Brad’s Comments:
“The Friday-night pick six begins with a $150,595 carryover and a potential single in the first leg. FANTANDO, a $25k maiden-claimer, missed by only a nose in a solid U.S. debut at six furlongs. The closing rally he showed suggests this seven-furlong distance is just right. Blinkers are on, his rivals are weak, and FANTANDO will start at a short price. A single in the first leg.”
Mike Superstein (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 7: Sister Dawn (PP: 3 ML 7/5)
Mike’s Comments:
“has been favored each of her four starts. Though she’s only won once, she’s been competing against the likes of Tanda, Ellafitz and Harissa in some very fast sprints. With a Strawberry Road pedigree on the bottom side, SISTER DAWN will like the turf and should show her heels to this crew at a short price.”

Los Alamitos Race Track
Ed Burgart (track announcer)
Best Bet – Race 8: Whatta Knockout (PP: 1 ML 7/5)
Ed’s Comments:
“has finished with authority in last two rapid 300-yard wins and should enjoy added 50 yards.”

Monmouth Park
Rip’s Picks (nj.com)
Best Bet – Race 11: Quiescent Hit (PP: 1 ML 3-1)
Rip’s Comments:
“drops as the speed of the speed in cheap race.”

Woodbine Racetrack (thoroughbred)
Jim Bannon (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 9: Do You Believe It (PP: 8 ML 5/2)
Jim’s Comments”
“debuted at short odds May 15th and was easily best by four lengths; however, he caused significant interference to others at the break and for that, was disqualified out of the money.”
Abernathy (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 9: Dou You Believe It (PP: 8 ML 5/2)
Jennifer Morrison (thestar.com)
Best Bet – Race 8: Holly Poppi (PP: 4 ML 5/2)
