Ok To “Stress Out” At Aqueduct (3/27)

Mar 27th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Clear and fast at Aqueduct for the Saturday card.  In race 9, No More Stress (#4) showed the ability to rate in last — runs down the speed at a short price.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Kaffiend (#7) and Chernobyl Princess (#1).

In race 6, Valid Sum (#4) came back with a bang in last and can repeat against these — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Mister Triester (#1A).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 1A and 9

Race 2: 2 and 5

Race 3: 4 and 1

“Acting” Like A Winner At Gulfstream (3/27)

Mar 27th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast and firm in sunny Florida for the competitive Saturday card at Gulfstream. In race 9, Acting Happy (#6) cuts back to one mile after two great efforts at two turns — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Streaker (#2).

In race 8, Cafe Des Artistes (#4) showed promise in debut at Aqueduct back in October and Angel Penna has great numbers with these types — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Person of Interest (#2) and Gathering Cloud (#7).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

A Florida Derby “Redux” At The Fairgrounds (3/27)

Mar 27th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast and firm on Louisiana Derby Day at The Fairgrounds with a stakes packed, competitive card on tap.  In race 10, The Louisiana Derby, the race sets up as a duplicate of the Florida Derby run one week ago.  There are a number of horses untested at 1 1/8 miles and many of them are stretch-out sprinters, including one of the favorites (A Little Warm – #5) who will ensure a fast pace and make the favorite, Discreetly Mine (#7), a very vulnerable favorite. I’m playing two confirmed closers, both of whom have shown they will love the distance and are peaking at the right time.  Both will also be good prices.  Fly Down (#3), a lightly raced Nick Zito entry has won at the distance and still has a great upside — I’m using him and Stay Put (#9) on top in exactas, trifectas, doubles and pick 3’s.  Use Drosselmeyer (#13) as a saver and to finish out the exacta and trifecta ticket. Here’s the entire 13 race card and good luck!
