Well, it’s not really looking good with a wet track and no turf racing.  But in the 4th race, The Mike Lee, Lookin At Her (#1) may upset at a price.  This son of Hook and Ladder, is 2 for 2 on wet tracks and may be the controlling speed.  Expect Cornelio Velasquez to send hard and try to wire them.  I’m keying him with Slevin (#3) and the likely favorite, Legal Consent (#6), in exactas.  Also singling in doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’e the whole card and good luck!

Race 1: 7 and 8

Race 2: 3 and 5

Race 3: 6 (Best Bet) and 8

Race 4: 1 (Best Bet) with 3 and 6

Race 5: 9 with 5 and 3

Race 6: 6 and 10

Race 7: 1 and 7

Race 8: 5 and 4

Race 9: 5 and 2

Race 10: 8 (Best Bet) and 5

You know it’s not a great racing card when you focus on a $7500 non winners of 3 claiming race.  In the 2nd race at Churchill, Zigawatt (#6) seems a likely winner at a decent price.  This son of Gulch, will get a nice stalking trip behind the speeds and also gets a nice jockey switch to Mena.  I’m keying in doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’s the card and good luck.

Race 1: 4 with 2 and 10

Race 2: 6 (Best Bet)

Race 3: 6 with 2 and 5

Race 4: 4 and 3

Race 5: 1 and 3

Race 6: 3 and 2

Race 7: 6 (Best Bet) and 5

Race 8: 8 with 1 and 2

Race 9: 4 and 5

Race 10: 1 and 6

Another day where I failed to live up to my “handicapping hype.”  All my best bets lost, including Hype, who had a nightmare trip in the 10th race at Churchill.  But through the dark, dreary rain and races taken off the turf, one shining moment at Belmont.  In the 6th race, a 2-1 winner with a 28-1 shot running second  gave me a cold exacta!  Came back a paltry $78.  Don’t you just love horse racing!

Stay with me and see my picks for today at 12:30pm.
