Friday Night: Starter Allowance is the Feature

Hola Amigos,

The week of racing at Los Alamitos Race Course kicks off today with a nine-race card filled with the hard-knocking claimers throughout the night. The feature race tonight is a Starter Allowance event in race 8 where a solid field of runners will sprint 330 yards.

Saturday's card features the running of The $113,900 Wild West Futurity for 2-year-olds.

Sunday's card features 11 Trials to The $1,118,000 Golden State Million Futurity (GI). The trials are packed with great runners and it should be a competitive night of racing. All the focus will be on One Dashing Eagle (winner of GI Ed Burke Million & GI All American Futurity) who is the top-ranked two-year-old in the nation. He is back from Ruidoso Downs and is looking to be one of the ten fastest qualifiers that will be back for the final on November 4.

I will focus on the late pick 4 today. Let's get to the selections.

Race 6:  1-3-5    #1 had four race winning streak snapped last out. Has gate speed.
Race 7:  7-3-4    #7 finally gets off the rail post, will sit better trip. Jones on Thoroughbred.
Race 8:  6-7-2    #6 back against fillies, faced better competition in last Starter Allowance.
Race 9:  2-6-4    #2 one-and-a-quarter lengths clear of third place finisher last out.

My Play:

$1 Late Pick Four ($16):  1,3,4,5 / 7 / 6 / 2,4,6,7
$1 Late Pick Four   ($4):   1 / 3,7 / 6,7 / 2

Good Luck!
