Last night was one of those nights where we can groan that Fox Valley Praline broke up our Pick 4 in Race 11. Then we can smile as we hit a minor Trifecta in Race 10 for $30 and the big bonanza when Sporty Gypsy strikes for the win in Race 12 for $63! So while we missed the $1300 payoff in the Pick 4 it wasn’t a total loss. Tonight is the $25,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 and another bunch Stakes Elimination races with strong fields. Going to stay with a $24 ticket and almost back to zero on our balance.
Race 7 #1 Joinusforsumefun ML 3/1 #3 Devachan ML 8/1 #7 Fox Valley Absolut ML 9/2
This is a tough race and I left off Temperment. In this race I’m going with Devachan, has been flashing consistent speed figures and two back got shuttled back and then last out was an improvement even though being parked out. Third trip for John Roberts and believe he will get him in good position to win this race.
Race 8 #1 Sugar Bunny ML 5/1 #8 Ole Miss ML 8/1 #8 A Nite To Remember ML 8/1
I’ll admit I’m lukewarm on all the choices in this race. Since I have to go with one, I will play the recent winner moving up in class, Sugar Bunny. Wilfong has won 4 out of 8 with this 6YO mare, and has improving speed numbers.
Race 9 #3 GJ Photo Victory ML 3/1
This is an outstanding gelding going for its fourth in a row. He has excellent speed with Marcus Miller driving. This one is as close as a lock as you can get.
Race 10 #7 Won The Battle ML 9/2 #9 Towneism ML 7/2 #10 Bell Valley Zeke ML 8/1
I’m leaning to #9 Towneism with his consistent speed and two wins in last three. Looking for him to bounce back from last race, has the ability to go wire to wire and wouldn’t be surprised if he does. The surprise in the group is Rejoiceandbeglad, who we have had before and has won. But this trio is just too tough for him.

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.
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
