Races 6-9
Race 6 - 1 1/6 CLM12500
#6 - HELLCAT PILOT (10-1ML) - 8yo horse for course (13 of 23 ITM) returns off 4 month freshening. Love the workout pattern leading into this race. Cataldi runner CAPTAIN CAMERON ran huge on opening day in Inaugural to finish 2nd behind a much the best DREAM OF ANGELS.
#4 - SLEWEY ARMSTRONG (8-1ML) - Reunited with Escobar, who knows him well. Slight class drop. His win 2 races back produced at least 2 come back winners (2nd & 3rd place finishers). Toss last vs. toughers and he fits nicely.
WINNER @ 12-1
#1 - CONESTOGA (12-1ML) - Hate the post here, but too many things I like. Blinks come off after miserable result last out (lost as favorite). Toss 10/28 effort in the slop (0 for 4 in slop). Fits in well other wise. Has a couple lengths to make up on #5 RAMPANT, but last two times they face, this guy was giving up 7lbs and 10lbs respectively. HVG hops aboard.
#7 - FIREBALL (8-1ML) - Team Allen gelding set for his good race in good race/bad race form cycle.
Race 7 - 1 1/16 TURF MSW
#1 - RUN WITHTHE SPIRIT (10-1ML) Crafty trainer strong off long layoffs. LDK baby shows steady string of works leading to this. Was shown alot of love at the windows in his prior 2 starts. Looks fit and ready to run.
#8 - ULTRA PREVENTION (9-5ML) Lightly raced Forestry filly has potential to improve over others and will be very tough in here.
WINNER # 8-5
#6 MABEL SYRUP (12-1ML) Jock my try to send and never look back. Looks to be lone speed. Toss last two (off the turf and stakes effort).
#10 ENCHANTING MURIEL (8-1ML) Cibelli/Montalvo capable on the class hike. Should secure nice stalking trip from outside.
Race 8 -1 1/16 ALWN1X
#3 SCOUTIE (3-1ML) All or nothing sort either wins or is off the board. Mounatineer connections Knipe/Villa Gomez should be tough here.
#8 RED DIRT ROAD (15-1ML) Can easily see this one stalking the inside speed and getting first run at them from the outside. Trainer 38% first time with horse. Colt is 2 for 3 over Tampa main. UPSET SPECIAL.
WINNER @ 13-1
#6 BRISTOL BOMBER (5-1ML) Hard time believing last out beyer, but hard to toss Concerto gelding that is 6 for 7 ITM at Tampa. Our man Vernon Bush takes the call.
Race 9 - 6 Furlongs MSW
#2 BIKINI ATOLL (6-1ML) Scatmandu firster owns long set of works in wide open affair.T/J combo is high %
#7 PYRITE BOB (4-1ML) 4TH time may be the charm unless a firster gets to him.
#6 GOTTA LUV CARROTS (3-1ML) Another firster with good set of works. Trainer not known for sending out first timers ready.
