Wednesday at the BigA

Got a couple I'm playing tomorrow. Here goes...

R4 #8 Uncle Duncan ML 7/2...Rice gets her go to guy Corney up on this one who likes to run 2nd (5-0-3-0). Big drop from claiming 40k to 16k. Looks like a good spot to me.

R6 #1 Norman's Hero ML 4-1...if you can get past the 7 month layoff & the fact he was the beaten favorite in his last, he may come to the winner's circle here. This one had 3 trainers in 4 races. He went from Levine to Contessa back to Levine & now to Lisa Lewis. Rosario hops onboard & hopefully he'll keep this one out of trouble which he seems to find pretty easily. I like his stalking style & hope we get the 4-1.

R7 # 8 Upgrade ML 3-1 ..this 8 yr old tries every time out. Irad picks up the mount from his brother Jose. Trainer Rudy Rod & Irad have won 5 of 7 together & Irad has won 10 0f 23 races over the past 2 weeks. Dude is en fuego. Playing Upgrade in the exacta & tri with the 4-5-9.

R9 #11 Gym Too ML 12-1..I'm taking a shot here with the Elvis/Orseno combo. Elvis hasn't been getting many mounts (31) but Orseno has been knocking on the door (10-1-4-0). I expect Elvis to get the lead from the outside & hopefully rate this one good enough to get him home. WP play & tri box of 11-7-8-10.

Will check in mid afternoon tomorrow. BOL to all...  

Back at ya mstr....

Just got home to see Norman's Hero workout; he certainly didn't race today.

Also saw the chart for Uncle Duncan & this one ran 2nd again & got in trouble again. I think maybe Corney learned this guy doesn't like the stick.

Only positive thing about R7 was the #9 scratched.

2-7 exacta paid $660! 38-1 shot noses out a 9-1 shot...

In Calder's (I refuse to call it Gulfstream Park West...screw Frank Stronach) R7, Pletcher's 3-5 favorite runs out of the money & gets beat by a 18=-1 shot.

That's the Calder I've always known...
