Try and try again for the $15,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 at Balmoral Park

There isn’t much to say about Sunday, another repeat of bombers (we even had one on our ticket, Gravel Crusher that paid $77 to win!) and knocking us out. Today is the $15,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 so let’s see if we can get back to our winning ways.

Race 7 #6 KB’s Taylor ML 6/1 #8 Triggerfish ML 3/1 #9 Johnny B Cool ML 8/1

This race is loaded with good pacers, but I’m staying with the improving Johnny B Cool. The last three races have shown improving speed (71-73-75) that’s about two lengths a race. His last out he got stuck three wide and still finished second . The one you might want to add to this group is Rocket Dog.

Race 8 #2 Madison Paige N ML 7/2 #5 Nannah Montana ML 5/1 #8 Tinkers Dam 4/1

I originally was going to single this race with Madison Paige. But after looking at it closer I added two strong pacers and finally decided Nannah Montana can win this race. Her speed figures are the best even though she shows to be a bouncer. Her last times were outstanding and should put together a great race to win and get a good price.

Race 9 #6 Sentimentaljourney ML 3/1

He has the most consistent speed in this group, has won three in a row before having an off race. Now shipping in from Indy, and those shippers do well on first race out. He certainly not the fastest but knows how to win, and feeling Balmoral will suit him well.

Race 10 #2 Lets Talk About It ML 5/1 #3 Kitty O’Brien ML 3/1 #8 Towne Nurse 4/1

This is a wide open race and the “all” button is warranted. However, I like the #8 Towne Nurse. She came back off the bench to win going away and posting nice speed and a solid final time. I see no reason for her not repeating today, the one that could beat her is Kitty O’Brien. This looks like a good trifecta group on top of the Pick 4.
