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.

Sunday $25,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 Selections for Balmoral

Last night the Pick 4 paid off at over $4900, making that five nights where the Guaranteed Pick 4 exceeded four figures. Two long shots came through the last two races, not much you can do about it, unless you hit the “all” button, neither one figured in the groupings. So tonight, we will try to get back on track with the a Guaranteed $25,000 Pick 4. Our $24 ticket will have no singles tonight, going with a 3-2-3-2.

Race 7 #2A Park Lane Hotshot ML 5/2 #5 Mattoutflying ML 3/1 #6 BH Cullen ML 8/1

I like the #5 in this race with consistent speed figures in the 90’s, Miller is back in the buggy where they won together, and this gelding joins a strong performing barn. The outsider in this one is BH Cullen, rising up in class and Casey Leonard is driving. This horse does know how to win, and gets a positive post here.

Race 8 #3 Osage ML 7/2 #8 Lady Lakers 5/1

There are only two horses that look solid in this race and will go with Lady Lakers. While not winning for a while, she does race consistent speed numbers and goes with a strong driver in Costing. This is a mixed bag and where a longshot can upset the whole ticket. But believe the #8 can strike and win against them.

Race 9 #5 NJ’S Fast Fletch ML 12/1 #8 Truly The Best ML 4/1 #10 Gravel Crusher ML 15/1

In this one the standout is Truly The Best. Had won three in a row until last race, and with a nice pairings of 81 - 82 should find himself back in the winner circles. He run’s real well at Balmoral and see no reason for not winning in this spot.

Race 10 #4 OH Poncho ML 5/1 #7 KB’S Robby 3/1

You can’t ignore the #4 here dropping in class and shipping in with an excellent win record and solid speed fig’s. KB’S Robby is a solid performer and will give a good account of himself, but not sure he is fast enough to beat Oh Poncho.
