Go big or go home.

Pimlico

Race 3 – Here is a nice turf race that could produce some nice prices
6 – Battleground – 20-1 – Only had one turf start in his career but I think he has some sneaky turf breeding and he is the only speed in the race. Chance to wire the field at price.
11 – Rampaige – 10-1 – Sometimes when the trainer has a favorite in the race – it’s the other runner who outperforms and surprises. He has never been on the turf but he should like it as he won on sysnthetics beating a very good horse in Wilkinson, who came back to win a stake at FG. In his last two, he lost to two stakes horses, so toss those. Trainer good with first turf.

He came back in allowance after taking inside money and had a troubled trip. Last time tried stakes company and made a nice showing. He drops into allowance ranks where he is taking on pedestrian maiden winners for the most part. There is a Clement runner to fear (2 horse) but I like Stormy in this spot.

Not sure we will get 4-1 but anything above 5-2 is a gift. Only potential negative is not getting the right pace set up with a bunch of synthetic horses trying dirt for first time so its tough to say what the pace will be.

Off Odds – 10-1
Race Conditions – 8K NW3L
Re-cap – Sluggo was hammered early in the wagering and was bet down to 3-1, but by post time he was at 10-1. Jockey let a longshot set the pace while he rated in 2nd. He made a premature move when challenged by the eventual winner and tired badly in the stretch
Lessons Learned – Wasn’t a huge fan of the ride he got but he could be one to watch next time with the presence of the inside money.
Stable Notes – Took inside money. Needs race with lack of pace going long.
Tampa Bay – Race 8

#4 – All the Bases – 8-1 – With the scratch of the 7 horse tide table, he becomes the only speed horse in the race. Typically race set up is not the ideal play on turf races but I’m thinking this could be a wire job. The race two back at same distance he set very fast fractions and faded and the horse he lost to was an absolute monster.

Re-Cap – Whitey was cursing the jockey when he sprinted clear by 6 while setting a very fast pace, but the horse kept on trucking and won by a widening 7 at the wire. One of the easiest wins ever and played out exactly as envisioned (minus the fast pace).
Lessons Learned – The only reason this even became a play was because of the late scratch of the other speed horse. It pays to check the late scratches and adjust if needed.
Stable Notes – Something tells me that the horse that Scratched – Tide Table – needs to go in the stable. Crafty trainer scratched horse with presence of other speedball. Consider next out if race lacks speed.

Stable Notes – Possible play back in next race as he was only one of two horses to win on the lead all day. The other was a chalk. Won on lead on closers track. Though met a very bad maiden field.

No Locks today boys but we will try and bring home some winners to re-coup some of last week’s losses.

Tampa Bay -Race 7

#8 Mr Sluggo – 12-1 – This is one of my favorite angles and has produced some nice returns. Horse racing 2^nd time at tampa who showed speed in first race and now stretches out. For some reason, horses need a race on the tampa surface and typically improve 2^nd out. He showed speed in a sprint last time before fading. Now he stretches out and is the only speed in the race and should control it up front. He comes out of tougher races at gulfstream where he was bet. He was also bet in his last at tampa.
