Saturday Night Pick 4 Selections Balmoral Guaranteed $20,000

On Wednesday we got knocked out of the Pick 4 by two longshots. The first one to take us out was Maximus Mereidus N, we had him in the past but thought him overmatched in this one and paid the price for turning my back on him. Then in the last race Tilly Filly went off at 20/1 and won, bringing in a nice $2700+ Pick 4 winner. If you had it congrats! Tonight, we have the $20,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 and all four races are Stakes Elimination races. It means good horses and wide open results. Still holding to a $24 ticket here are the horses we are going with.

Race 10 #5 Mystical MJ ML 2/1

This will be the single tonight. She has won four in a row and the Miller team looks tough here. I do like Toshie Special and Pardon, but the #5 speed just dominates this group of 3YO fillies. So we are off to a good start or done early, I believe Mystical MJ will have another easy win.

Race 11 #3 She’s Automatic ML 8/1 #6 Nina Coleada ML 12/1 #9 Fox Valley Touche ML 3/1

I’m going with Nina Coleada is this elimination race. Tossing the last out and looking at those two strong speed figures prior. Has Marcus Miller in the buggy and last time he drove her, she won. I’m looking the #6 to bounce back and take this field. The other threat is Fox Valley Touche.

Race 12 #1 BOI ML 9/5 #3 Sporty Gypsy ML 12/1 #Playin For Keeps ML 8/1

I’m going outside on this one and taking Sporty Gypsy. BOI will be the chalk and has all rights to be the favorite and win, after winning two in a row and super speed fig’s. What I like about the #3 is he has shown speed to go with BOI, has won at various tracks and looking for him to run a strong one here. He is definitely the price play of the Pick 4, and if he can to the front might just go wire to wire. If you want to increase your ticket and add another look at #9 Cole Snap moving up in class and has all the ability to surprise.

Race 13 #2 Fox Valley Yukon ML 4/1 #3 He’s So Hot ML 5/2 #4 Dutch Richman ML 2/1

This is one of those races you want to hit the all button and look for the big price to hit. There is that much contention in this race. I‘ll go total chalk here and take #3 He’s So Hot in this race. Nice consistent speed, 84-84-86-87-85 and three wins in a row, and likes to get to the front. Todd Warren and Roger Welch have a supper ROI together and should win again. The fourth horse here would be the #1 Fox Valley Mercury.
