#7 Citizen’s Arrest – Gets a much better draw for 2nd race after being stuck on the rail on a sloppy sealed track at BEL. WON

#1 SCR
#4 My Man Lars – The cut back in real estate might due the trick for this NY bred. 3rd

R8 – G3 Discovery Handicap

#5 Gone Astray – Has been handled with care and is strictly the one to beat here. Has the potential to make some serious noise in the handicap division in 2010. 3rd
#3 Birdrun – Crushed Alw company at BEL in last.

Churchill Downs POST SCRATCHES

R7 – MSW 46k (2yo f 8F)

#7 Jackpot Joanie – High regards when Asmussen put this filly in a G3 at WO as maiden. WON
#4 Rendition – More than capable of waking up on the stretchout to a mile. 4th
#8 Toll – 2nd to a runaway winner in debut from a difficult post. 3rd

R8 – Bet On Sunshine 60k

#7 Custom for Carlos – Missed by a nose in the Gallant Bob at Philly (Earned a 111BSF) and ran a scorching 1:08 flat in the G3 Jersey Shore at MTH this summer. WON
#2 Grand Traverse – Won his comeback at KEE on Halloween.
#1 Wild L – Makes 3rd start of the year after taking a year off. Matz trains this Iowa bred.

#2 Tizfiz – She’s won her last two turf races, which includes a stake at Remington Park versus the boys.
#5 Long Approach – Hall of Famer Sheppard starts her right back against graded company for her return. Desormeaux up. Enough said.

R10 – Alw 50k N2X

#5 Escrow – His best races have been on the dirt (4-2-0-0).
#3 B Z Warrior – Went to DEL to get his 2nd win and now cuts back to 6F. Great looking animal (Check out the blaze this chestnut sports underneath the blinkers).
#8 Posse Cat – Wikes second runner should be closing late of a piece. 3rd

PK4 – 2 4 7 8 / 1 2 6 7 / 1 2 5 9 / 2 5 = $64 ($.50 play)

Hawthorne POST SCRATCHES

R4 – OC50k / N1X (2yo 8.5F)

#5 Officer McNeal – Catalano a lethal 42% Sprint to Route and this 2yr gelding is by Milwaukee Brew out of a Awesome Again mare. 3-1 or better is worth the plunge. 2nd
#4 Beenie – Makes 6th start at 6th different track. Won his only dirt race around two turns.
#7 Iron Champ – Graduated in 4th start when going two turns. 4th
#8 Devient Behavior – Should be in good position turning for home. 3rd

Tri P/W – 4 6 7 8 / 5 / 4 6 7 8

Woobine

#9 El Brujo – Impressive in Kentucky, but now must face elders for the 1st time.

Hollywood Park

R8 – G3 Hollywood Prevue (2yo 7F)

#3 Indian Firewater – Makes amends for odds on defeat with better draw.
#5 Macias – Baffert looking to complete the exacta.
#7 Tribal Face – Looking for him to add some value to the Tri.
#4 American Lion – Playing against sharp winner at KEE as he faces more experienced runners. I do like the fact he’s been in SoCal for about a month.

Good Racing Luck
