“Valetictorian” Speaks Volumes At Monmouth (7/20/19)
Jul 20th, 2019 | By mircon1 | Category: Monmouth, Today's PicksFast and firm for the impressive 14-race card on Haskell Day — all eyes will be here because of the weather woes at Saratoga, so let’s see how I do today!
In race 11, The Grade 3 Matchmaker, Valedictorian (#3) loves the local sod, is the main speed and will be the second choice because of the Brown entrant — key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 2 and 6.
In race 9, Tricks to Doo (#5) has faced some tough ones lately and should beat this field if runs to top figure — key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 8 and 4.
In race 7, Freedom Matters (#5) has good tactical speed and should wear these down late — key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 7 and 4. In the Haskell, there so much speed signed on that I fear Maximum Security (#7) is very vulnerable as the favorite so I took a flyer with Everfast (#6) to run them down at a price. Here’s the entire card and good luck!
