FRIDAY, August 22


RACE 2 # 3 CARMEN MIRANDA (5-2) Has been off 15 months, comes in a solid work tab leading into this race. Wouldn’t be shocked if Jockey Hernandez takes her to the lead in somewhat of a pace less race. Trainer Sadler is 20% with horses + 180 days and 31% winners with the jockey.

THE BET: WIN / SHOW FLAT BET and use with # 4/5 in Pick 3 & 5’s SHOW PARLAY


RACE 3 # 6 ARKADELPHIA (3-1) Finished 2nd at this distance three weeks ago and was over 8 lengths clear. Jockey Maldonado will be putting him on the lead as he has been 2nd in two races with him. Nice easy work between races makes him look like the one.

THE BET: WIN / SHOW FLAT BET and SINGLE in Pick 3 & 5’s PLACE PARLAY

RACE 7 # 8 BEEF WINSLOW (7-2) Got claimed for 50k in his last two races, now drops to 40 k claiming after a BRUTAL TRIP. Just wasn’t able to get into stride in his last race. Now switches to leading rider J.J. Hernandez, and puts on the blinkers here. In the money in 8 of the last 10 races. Jockey / Trainer are hitting 33% winners together. ANY of his last 3 races, wins this race today.

THE BET: WIN / SHOW FLAT BET and use with # 5 in Pick 3 & 5’s PLACE PARLAY
