Race Seven #7 Gloves Off - This horse closed nicely into a moderately-paced race at Ellis on debut. The form of that debut victory has subsequently been flattered as three horses have come out of that race to win next time out. Moreover, Eoin Harty is a patient horseman who you can expect improvement from with racing experience. We think this 2YO colt has lot of upside and the price will be more than commensurate for his probability of winning.
The Play: 2 units to Win, 5 units to Place and 1 unit on 7/2 Double.
Race Eight #2 A Bourbon for Tony - We played this horse last time out where he got ANOTHER bad trip and believe he was best on the day. It’s a frustrating part of handicapping and perhaps he creates some of his own bad trips to some degree; however, we like the rider change to Irad in this spot. Although we’ll be knocked on price we trust him to work out a clean trip from the inside draw. Let’s get him home & hosed today!
The Play: 2 units to Win (if Dead in Double) and 5 units to Place (regardless of Double).
