Hola Amigos,
We are back tonight after an exciting running of the Winter Derby last night in which the winning photo revealed Kobe and Deniro millimeters apart for the Grade I win. Tonight's feature race is the Grade I Winter Championship which features a wide open field headed by the 8-year old Jess You and I and the hot horse Señor Toby (Who is running a 7 race win streak). To spice up the card we also have a pick 6 carry over of almost $19,000. Let's Get to it.
Race 1: #2 Fontainbleu has always been regarded as a horse with talent but his unlucky breaks has not given him a chance to show what he is made of. I like that he is drawn next to a slow working first time starter and will give him one more chance. My Top pick will be #5 Famous Fury who made his first start since July of 2011 last time out where he broke on top and had the lead and got beat at the wire by a head. With that race under his belt, I expect this Utah bred to come out running.
Race 2: I am going two deep in this race using the speed #2 Blue Marrow and the closer #1 Princess Ryan. Both fillies come from wins in each of their previous efforts and arrive for top connections.
Race 3: I can make a case for all of the runners in this field so I will press the ALL button for this group of six.
Race 4: This race concludes the pick four and it also begins the pick six. I am going to single #2 Ahh Lover in this event. I like that this gelding has shown tenacity in the races where he has fought on the lead and still pull clear. I expect the outside horse to provide pressure but I don't think Ahh Lover will give in.
Race 5: Two deep in this event with my top pick being #1 Chick on the Wire. This gelding gets a nice inside post and gets the services of a more experience rider. Notice that horse was brought back to run in a maiden special race after running second in a $4,000 maiden claimer. Drops back in class and a good break puts him in the hunt. Also using #5 Jw Chicks Cutie who is deserving favorite off better running lines and is only making her second start at los al.
Race 6: This is a difficult race and I am going to with #1 Bonos Lucky Jeans and #6 Inmate separate. #1 can break on top and #6 has run against classier horses.
Race 7: Three deep in this event with #1 Sheza Fast Habit who had a rough trip last time out against Noconi (Running in the Championship) and gets the services of Rodrigo A ceves. Top pick will be #6 What a performance who is a mare who had a blistering workout last time out while making her first start since 2009 but did not fire. Second time out makes her dangerous. Also using #7 Send the candy Wagon who won the race at the break last time out. If she breaks like that again she will be gone.
Race 8: The Grade I Winter Championship. I like these four runners to get the job done tonight. #4 Senor Toby, #5 El Aguila Real, #7 Dash Back Perry, and #8 Sparky E Boy. Tough field.
Race 9: I have a single in this race. If you have read my blog in different occasions I bet you can figure out who I like without telling you. #4 Mr Comando. This gelding has a tremendous closing kick but has been unlucky at the gate. I like the distance and I like the slight drop in class.
Early pick 4 $24 Ticket: 2,5/1,2/ALL/2
Pick 6 $96 Ticket: 2/1,5/1,6/1,6,7/4,5,7,8/4
Good luck!
