Welcome to Upstate NY for the last week of racing, before the BTB takes it’s summer vacation.\u00a0 With most eyes focused down State where the big races are being run, we have this week’s feature, The Waxed Under Creepy Special Stakes<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The race will be run on the main track at 7.5 furlongs and carry a purse of $55,000.\u00a0 The Morning line favorite Raider<\/STRONG> Property<\/STRONG> breaks from the outside post and goes postward at 5\/2.\u00a0 Let’s take a look at all runner’s in today’s feature race.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 1)\u00a0 DASHING DOOTER\u00a0 6\/1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 28\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6\/1\/3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $114,883<\/STRONG><\/P> Breaking from the inside post Dashing Dooter<\/STRONG> comes in off six weeks rest.\u00a0 That \u00a0race the 5yo son of Distorted Humor<\/EM> broke from the outside post and never quite got himself into contention before flattening out to be a well beaten tenth.\u00a0 The race before that run at this distance he ran a lifetime 105Sp and scored handily at 14\/1\u00a0while breaking from the 3 post.\u00a0 Trainer cut999<\/EM> likes to give this one plenty of rest between starts and you can bet he will be fresh with the inside post adding to his chances of being a late stalking factor in this race.\u00a0 D.Nabinger gets the call this afternoon.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 2)\u00a0 COOL FOR CATS\u00a0 7\/2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 36\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 11\/6\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $239,858<\/STRONG><\/P> Lot to like about this 6yo son of Storm Cat<\/EM>.\u00a0 He likes this distance and run some really big numbers at it including a 116 in 2004, a 111 last year and has a 107 this year.\u00a0 He may be tailing off a little, but rarely throws in a bad race and has the speed to make every pole a winning one today.\u00a0 Oddly enough with all his big Sp’s he has only tabbed one Stakes victory to date.\u00a0 Trainer\/Breeder colin99<\/EM> has selected one of the best Jock’s in Z.Ayya with only helps his chances today.\u00a0 Looks well spotted to make a bid for that second Stakes.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 3)\u00a0 BALLAST\u00a0 6\/1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 18\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\/2\/2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $88,305<\/STRONG><\/P> This 4yo son of Falstaff<\/EM> enters the race with the least amount of starts in the field.\u00a0 He has been ruuning routes for the most part and the only start at this distance was a win on the lawn to break his maiden at a 2yo.\u00a0 Has shown the ability to close in a few races run at a mile and notched his first Stakes win three races back.\u00a0 His two races since have not been what I am sure trainer crown<\/EM> was hoping for and will have to run back to his win three back to be a factor today.\u00a0 I.Cast will get the mount today.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 4)\u00a0 NOT FRIENDLY LOVER\u00a0\u00a0 13\/1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 28\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2\/5\/9\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $123,106<\/STRONG><\/P> Part of a two horse entry from trainer krstable<\/EM>, this 4yo son of Cryptoclearance<\/EM> is the longshot in today’s field and is in search of his third win in his 29 career start.\u00a0 He has shown closing ability but has not hit the board in three chances with stakes types.\u00a0 His Sp’s are not that far of what it would take to grab a piece here and with his top effort could cash a small check.\u00a0 The Jockey choice of C.Sprague who at 2% winners this year 1\/64 doesn’t build much confidence.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 5)\u00a0 HAZEL NUT\u00a0\u00a0 12\/1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 31\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4\/6\/3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $150,201<\/STRONG><\/P> The other half of the entry from krstable<\/EM> is also a longshot.\u00a0 This 4yo Mazel Trick<\/EM> colt threw in a tough effort at this distance over this strip last out.\u00a0 Tough to say waht went wrong in that one as he comes right back three weeks later so I guess injury was not the problem.\u00a0 If you thrown that race out and go back to his last, he would rate some consideration here as he closed a bit at 7 furlongs.\u00a0 Most of his races seem to be a few steps slower than some of these.\u00a0 His lifetime best 103 might not even get the job done today.\u00a0 B.Cooper gets the ride today.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 6)\u00a0 EASY BALLAD\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7\/2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 48\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 15\/9\/4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $143,305<\/STRONG><\/P> Brings the most experience of any of todays runners.\u00a0 Trainer ontarget<\/EM> made a nice score picking up this then 5yo son of Saint Ballado<\/EM> for 40k then winning the next 5 of 7 races mostly in Starter Allowance company.\u00a0 In the 15 races he hace had him he has been off the board just 3 times, the bad news they were all three attempts at stakes company.\u00a0 His Sp’s say he belongs and he is still looking for that first Stake.\u00a0 Even if he doesn’t get it the trainer did a nice job dropping a tag on this one.\u00a0 His closing style should fit the race, just don’t tell the horse he is in a Stakes race.\u00a0 P.Nabinger gets the call to try to keep him focused.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 7)\u00a0 CAT ACADEMY G\u00a0\u00a0 6\/1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 25\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4\/4\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $92,608<\/STRONG><\/P> Another son of Storm Cat<\/EM>.\u00a0 This 5yo trained by wassie<\/EM> has a lot of early foot but has been giving it away late.\u00a0 It appears he may have been injured four races back and after a layoff ran a nice race on an off track just missing at 7 panels.\u00a0 In his next he added a half furlong pressed the pace into the stretch and faded to sixth.\u00a0 His last was much of the same, pressing the pace into the stretch before giving way.\u00a0 With todays field he can probably count on more of the same.\u00a0 P.Garbaccio gets a leg up today.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 8)\u00a0 RAIDER PROPERTY\u00a0\u00a0 5\/2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 35\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 10\/4\/4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $485,990<\/STRONG><\/P> Our favorite breaks from the outside post in todays feature.\u00a0 The 5yo son of Belong To Me<\/EM> is in search of his first win of the year for trainer penamacor<\/EM>.\u00a0 What a story with this horse this trainer dropped a claim on him in late 2004 for 15k and has gone on to win 6 Stakes races including a Grade 2.\u00a0 That is a nice claim indeed.\u00a0 It has been quite awhile since he has seen a distance of anything less than a mile, but in this case let’s just assume the trainer knows what is best for this one.\u00a0 Hard to bet against him as he seems to be the class in the race.\u00a0 Also gets the services of the tracks top jock in C.Orza.<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> To get a little value in my tri pick this week gonna box the 2\/8\/1\u00a0 Good Luck with everyones runners this week and have a great summer….<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eight Go to Post in Feature before
