FAIR GROUNDS

PRE-SCRATCHES

7th: Fair Grounds Oaks (G2), 3yo-F, 8.5f (P4, P3, DD)

Not a lot of speed here which makes upsetting the top pair difficult..

Most Likely: #5 Flashy Gray 6-5 2nd
Next Best: #7 Unlimited Budget 9-5 WON ($3.80)
Best Value: #1 Promise Me More 10-1 4th
Exotics Use: #6 Blue Violet 12-1 6th

8th: New Orleans H. (G2), 4+, 9f (P3, DD)

This race came together better than FG could possibly have hoped with 3 of the top 4 players from the Donn opting to invade. Would be thrilled to stand against 2-1 Graydar, but who exactly is going to prevent him from getting comfortable cruising up front? Macho Macho and Mark Valeski have some speed, but can’t imagine Nakatani or Graham are interested in an early duel. Flat Out and Boubon Courage both figure to have a better opportunity to make headway versus Graydar here than they could on the slick Gulfstream strip. However, they’ll still need someone to soften the pacesetter up a little. Cool Street (15-1) has been terrific all winter in NoLa, closing stoutly into slow paces every start. Might be the most dangerous and valuable threat down the lane. Only the pair of 20-1 shots seem implausible in this outstanding race..

Most Likely: #8 Graydar 2-1 WON ($4.60)
Best Value: #5 Cool Street 15-1 7th
Next Best: #6 Macho Macho 8-1 4th
Exotics Use: #2 Bourbon Courage 7-2 3rd

9th: Louisiana Derby (G2), 3yo, 9f (P5, P3, DD)

Another fun and wacky Derby appears on tap. Pletcher and Baffert players command respect, but as discussed on ATR, the more I looked the more interested I became in Ground Transport. Figures to gain comfortable stalking position into the first turn and should have every chance if good enough. 20-1 to start and may be all of that at post time. Code West and Revolutionary take no imagination and I think My Lute may simply have needed the season starter in the Risen Star..

Best Value: #13 Ground Transport 20-1 5th
Next Best: #8 Code West 9-2 6th
Exotics Use: #3 Revolutionary 3-1 WON ($6.80)
Super Add: #11 My Lute 12-1 2nd

GP/SA the focus after rough AQU opener

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

Rule Number Six, that Johnny D. noted had been outposted in three straight winter starts, finally had a cozy berth in the GP 7th Wednesday and parlayed it into a 17-1 upset that ignited the multis. With a virtual free square in $3.00 Big John B, the late P4 paid $1,128, nearly twice the parlay. Pumpidu, who came into the 8th off the best last race, went mildly ignored at over 6-1 and won easily paying a generous $14.40.

With the Florida Derby card the only remaining big day of racing at Gulfstream, be aware that the second tier operations and riders are getting their money with Wednesday finding Pedro Monterrey, Manny Aguilar and bugs Hugo Sanchez (2) and JJ Gonzalez in the winner’s circle.

At Aqueduct, I was blind without a cane as the first 3 legs of the late P4 went to horses I didn’t consider. When Linda Rice first time starter Hay Shares took money, 9-2 from 8-1 ML, I knew I was a chicken in a pot. It got worse from there. Carryover of $18k at Aqueduct as a result of yesterday’s tricky sequence, but I had looked at Santa Anita and Gulfstream already. Hope everyone did OK yesterday despite my showing New York.
