Best Bet – Race 10 Number 6 Indian Blessing M/L 3/5 – This is a no brainer. 50 to win!
Long Shot – Race 11 Number 5 Spider Rock M/L 20/1 – Yup, 20/1. I like the drop angle in this WIDE open claiming event. Was hard knocking up in Canada with 5/6 in the money races. His come back was less...

Friday August 1st Picks
Best Bet – Race 8 Number 7 Prussian M/L 9/5 – This one is already a grade III winner as a two year old. We know he likes the ‘toga sod because he broke his maiden here last year by 6 3/4. There is a lot to like. 25 to Win!
Long Shot – Race 5 Number 6 D’Wildcard M/L 8/1 – Lot’s to like! You...

Best Bet – Race 2 Number 4 Keep’em Movin Dan M/L 3/1 – An unusual small field of 8 in this MSW contest. A small field can mean other trainers don’t want to run against a good one. I think that could be “Dan”. He cost 875,000 last year and Pletcher had him move a bullet on 7/10 out of the...

Wednesday July 30th Picks
Best Bet – Race 9 Number 7 Talking Treasure M/L 5/2 – The Finger Lakes invader really likes the distance (3/4) likes the strip (career high 90 Beyer) and also likes jockey Johnny V (3/5). So why shouldn’t I like this fine four year old Filly? Quarter of a hundred to win!
Long Shot – Race 6 Number 9...

Monday July 28th Picks
Best Bet – Race 3 Number 5 Wanderin Boy M/L 8/5 – Last year’s runner up in the GI Whitney Handicap returns to the races in this very soft spot. He earned a 109 in that race while 4 ¾ lengths behind track record holder Lawyer Ron. He can either lead or stalk so it doesn’t matter who he faces here....

Sunday July 27th Picks
Best Bet – Race 3 Number 3 Critical Cathy M/L 4/1 – I know she’s a little light on the Beyer scale but I couldn’t really find a best bet. It’s probably post traumatic stress from watching Rollers go down yesterday. She’s going to run in to some pace from her next stall neighbor and more from the...

Best Bet – Race 1 Number 5 Rollers M/L 9/5 - This $500,000 state bred had all sorts of buzz here last year when he romped by 6 ¼ to break his maiden. He’s been off since October after two sub par efforts. He’s fresh and fit and should roll all over these. 25 to win!
Long Shot – Race 7...

Best Bet – Race 3 Number 6 Hamsa M/L 3/1- The Barclay Tagg runner ran a quality 4th in the GI Mother Goose against some of the best fillies in training anywhere. She got out of the gate slow that day and only finished 8 lengths out of it. Her main rival Mushka will be in all likelihood using this...
