Two Year Old Allowance Leads The Card

The view from the Vessels Club at Los Alamitos

A tricky sequence in the early pick four will make the first part of the card very interesting. I went back and forth while building my pick four ticket many times. Races 1 & 3 are Thoroughbred events and races 2 & 4 are Quarter Horse events. The two Thoroughbred races were the ones that gave me the most trouble.

I can see both of those races going either way but I ended up singling #7 Singlestar in the third race given that he does not face any strong pace pressure. I figured this is the field he needs if he wants to break his maiden. He gets a hustling rider and lands a good outside post. It's his race to lose.

Race 8 on the card is a solid allowance race for 2-year-olds. All six runners come into this race off a win, three of them won their debuts, and one of them is already a stakes winner. Good race.

Selections:

Race 1:  5-2-9
Race 2:  2-8-7
Race 3:  7-1-5
Race 4:  4-7-3
Race 5:  3-1-4
Race 6:  7-2-3
Race 7:  2-3-5
Race 8:  1-2-5
Race 9:  3-1-5

My plays:

Race 1 - $1 Pick Four:  2,5,9,10 / 2,8 / 7 / 1,3,4,7 = $32

Race 6 - $1 Pick Four:  7 / 1,2,3,5,6 / 1,2,5,6 / 3 = $20

Good luck!
