RACE 14 FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

#1 SPEAK EASY-won his only try @ 8-1. Getting a lot of buzz around this guy after winning @ 7f in 1:21 but he'll have to carry that speed going 1 1/16th

#2-LE DOM BRO- ran 2nd in 3 of 3 races @ GP

#3-VICTORY AVENUE- ran 2nd in his only try missing by 1.5 lengths to #1 SPEAK EASY. In fact he was favored over SPEAK EASY in their only race.

#4- REAL MACHO-has won 2 of 4 including his last @26-1; been away 3 months & is moving up in class

#5 DORNACH- is the most seasoned of the bunch in here with a 4-2-0 record. He's been away 3 months but Trainer Danny Gargan targeted him for this race. He won his last in the mud & won at this 1 1/16th distance by almost 7 @ Keenland in October

#6 MERIT-broke his maiden by 10 lengths @ 7F but tired next time out going a mile. So the distance may be his biggest obstacle

#7 FRANKIE'S EMPIRE- has won 4 of 7 including 2 in a row; he's moving up on class here

#8 LOCKED-4-2-0-2; he was the beaten favorite in his last when he ran 3rd vs. FIERCENESS. He's been heavily bet in his last 3 races & should be again here 

#9 DANCING GROOM-none of his last 3 races have been anything special

I purposefully did not make any picks here because I've been ice cold & hate giving out losers.

Hopefully some of the comments will help everyone make some  tomorrow.

@Midnight1

 Good stuff and appreciated!

Good Fortune tomorrow 

@Xdoge

 Hope it helps...

Race 3

Tri key 5 with 6-7-8-9

This is a Paco/Joseph/Ken Ramsey play as all 3 have been hot @ GP.

Paco went gate to wire on #5 & wished #6 @ 7-1 didn't get nosed out by the 8 for 2nd. The tri/super would have paid more. But it's a winner

5-8-6  paid $68.50

Race 4...wonder why Bravo has been take off #2 for Jose Ortiz. Bravo won on this guy & just missed in his last.

Tri key 2 with 567

Nope..ran 2nd & 4th

Race 5

BOXING 2-6-9-11

Pletcher runs 1st & 2nd with 11 & 9 & Javier kept riding on the #2 to get the 3rd to complete the 11-9-2 tri

Ex 11-9  paid $72.20

Tri 11-9-2 paid $219.60

Race 6 I avoided this race due to the huge chalk who won

@estes1717

 Thanks brother..

Ran 2nd & 3rd in the 7th when they got caught at the wire by #4

Race 8 

We have two big favorites but I'm going with #11 Pounce WPS. 

@Midnight1

 good call I missed that one.

@estes1717

 Thanks...I was surpised that Javier didn't go with her & he settled in last for her to relax I imagine. I lost sight of her until I saw her closing on the oustide & Javier was riding his ass off to catch Irad at the wire.

Paid $20/$7.80/$3.60

I'll take a $20 winner!

Race 10

BOXING
