Hello All! For Sunday July 14th, the following tracks and races are on Slew's agenda:
Belmont - 1,4,5,6,9,10
Monmouth - 1,8,9,10
Hollywood - 1,3,4,5,8,10
Gulfstream - 4,8,9
Woodbine - 7,8,9,10
Arlington - 8
Parx - 5,6,7
Of course, it is closing day at Belmont and Hollywood Park, as Hollywood's spring meet is about to become extinct.
Some good races today with Slew nailing a few nice winners, and as noted in yesterday's post, Rahystrada indeed caught the eye by becoming the only 3-peat winner of the Arlington Handicap in it's history. If you did what you were told and grabbed the race file from the website, you would have also had the winner of the next race (11) at Arlington in Pataky Kid who paid $15.40 as well as the double paying a very nice $59.80.
But you most likely didn't listen. No doubt your mom is shaking her head. Still.
I must also note that a glitch in Slew's brain cells caused two Key Horses not to be listed: Noble Tune and Lily the Pink. Lily did win at Arlington and paid $11.00. If you recalled her being a Key Horse at Keeneland...and nailed her on that basis...good for you.
And for the Woodbine players, the two top horses in the two listed races both won with payoffs of $20.40 (Courtville) and $8.10 (Laughing Falcon).
For Sunday, we do have a Key Horse running:
Our Little Daisy - AP ( 5) AP 06/19/13 # 7
Our Little Daisy became a Key Horse because of my one eyed cat named Daisy. I could not resist the temptation to play her at Arlington last month in a maiden claiming race I had absolutely no interest in, or had any business playing in the first place. But at 10-1 and with a name like that, she was worth a small $20 win bet. She appeared hopelessly mired in mid-pack but then kicked out nicely. As the trackman commented: "shifted4w,reeled in foe". Which is trackman code for "she sprung an afterburner and won going away by almost two lengths in a 5 furlong sprint".
I just had to put her on my Key Horse list and she shows up for her 2nd start in a starter allowance with a 12-1 ML tag. She looked very professional in her debut win, albeit against maiden claimers of the 25K variety. But she qualifies for this protected starter allowance race for claimers starting for 30K or less and I will have to place a bet. I have not seen the PP's yet so I cannot tell you if I think she will be competitive but I will make a small play anyway.
And just for the record, my one eyed Daisy is immortalized on Slew's face book page...in case you think I jest.
Enjoy the Sunday racing...good luck and good 'capping!
