1\t17320\tGO JENNAH GO \tLadyssecre \tS BrienO’ \t23\/1 \tDEPUTY MINISTER x GONE WEST x STORM OF ANGELSA nicely put together 3yo brown colt, with a very strong mind of his own, I am told be a source close the horse,\u201c GO JENNAH GO can run, as you all can see. He prefers sprints since he did so well over 7f posting 102 sp; the general consence was to run him back at the same distance. However, he had different ideas. At 23\/1 he has nearly the highest odds, but you never know\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
2\t93219\tHATTORI HANZO \tcapeside \tL Ramsey \t8\/1\t FUSAICHI PEGESUS x STORM CAT x SEATTLE SLEW\u201c We are all very proud of our Fu Peg colt, as you cam see in his PP .He posts brilliant SPs over a wide range of distances. We are confident of winning our second GII this weekend. HATTORI HANZA is known to be the joker back at the yard. He\u2019s always checking your pockets over making off with your hat, when race day arrives he all business.\u201d As stated on a press release.<\/p>\n
3\t88388\tWHITENER \tastin \tZ Kidder \t14\/1\t DEPUTY MINISTER x SEEKING THE GOLD x A.P.INDY The wonder filly from the Astin racing empire, she is rated as the number two dirt filly. Unbeaten in 8 races, she\u2019s slowly making her way back to the winner\u2019senclosure. WHITENER really didn\u2019t like going offtrack a couple races back. So being back on fast dirt again should make her happy and having won once against the boys, she wants to make this number 2.<\/p>\n
4\t94654\tGOLD SACRIFICE \tWhirlaway \tN Hilton \t15\/1\t SEEKING THE GOLD x RAHY x SEATTLE SLEW\u201c Gold SACRIFICE is the star back home,\u201c so I told by a spokesperson,\u201c He has recovered well from that disastrous race at the start of the season He is on top form, one he gets going you won\u2019t see the others for dust. Our colt will do his best. What more can you ask for\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
5\t49030\tGOLDEN BANANA \tCr \tJ Harty \t14\/1\t SEEKING THE GOLD x STORM CAT x I AM THE GAME Ranked the 16-dirt colt, he is on a winning streak and loving it. All tough struggling LTO he did win just by a whisker. Well if he sticks to sprints that number one position is looking good. On a request for an interview the connections denied, mumbling something about being to busy\u2026<\/p>\n
6\t43306\tUCIO BELLO \tElbongy \tR Jacobson \t51\/1\t GONE WEST x AFFLEET x BALDSKI A not so solid allowance runner trying to break into Stakes company A brave move by Elbongy. This seems to be a small racing stable with only one runner. A good little horse with a big heart just trying to get the job done.When asked to comment the owner was unavailable.<\/p>\n
7\t37133\tWILE E. CAPOTE \tcitation \tB Bauder \t17\/1\t CAPOTE x CRAFT PROSPECTOR x SUMMER SQUALL The second filly in this field Unbeaten as a 2yo, she started this season off with a win. Since starting her highflying career she has not be off the board yet. A brilliant and fast mover she posted a whopping 103 sp over 7f.No Wonder she is ranked as the number one dirt filly. In addition, she s ready to show her heels to the boys. So watch out!<\/p>\n
8\t90017\tRECANT \tflaw \tE Sieber \t17\/1<\/p>\n
\tREPENT x GONE WEST x STAGE DOOR JOHNNY RECANT came 3rd in the SPECIAL BID stakes GIII earlier this year, just losing out by a length. A Stakes veteran, Recant, took some time out from his stakes secudle, to win a couple of allowances only to burst back onto the stakes scene with a 104 sp and a second place. His connections are hoping that this outing is a return to form and the winner\u2019s enclosure.<\/p>\n
9\t63672\tDAY APPROVAL \tPhonetrick \tC Huey \t10\/1\t<\/p>\n
DAYJUR x WITH APPROVAL x NEARATIC Day approval started wit a win FTO and then breezing to an easy win in an allowance race. He responded well to being stretched out running a 103 sp over 8f.since then his career has become quite chequered. After filling out at the right places and fining his feet, he just got to keep his head on the job and his connection will be laughing again.<\/p>\n
10\t93046\tEL PRADO’S APPEAL (IRE) \tNastybu \tF Feller \t19\/1\t EL PRADO x SMILE x VALID APPEALAnother fast one. As commented by a source close to the connection have told me\u201c we are very confident of our chances in his graded stakes debut. He is still smarting from being beaten by a \u00be length LTO sometimes a 106sp just isn\u2019t good enough. APPEAL is at the beginning of his racing career and we are, looking forward to more pictures being taken in the winner\u2019s circle\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
11\t89466\tPROVEN AWESOME \tWer4fun \tF Atwater \t11\/1\t
AWESOME AGAIN x AFFIRMED x FORTY NINER Awesome is just Awesome, 9 back to back win is just simply PROVEN AWESOME. This is his first race in graded company. With him only cracking the triple barrier only twice so far, it could turn out that this race is to fast for him. A brown 3o colt by AWESOME AGAIN he is ranked 5th in the sire stats of his crop. All in all a colt to be proud of.<\/p>\n
12\t6040\tMEADOWGOLD \tSkunkieluv \tD Brownridge \t12\/1\t<\/p>\n
TOUCH GOLD x EL GRAN SENOR x MEADOWLAKE As told to the reporter:\u201d My colt has not been as brilliant at 3 as he was at 2. Apparently he is a “victim” of early maturation. Not that I am complaining because he’s still a great horse and still finishing well. He does seem to choke in graded races that he by rights should excel at. He’s finished well twice – a show in a G2 and a place in a G3 – but he’s also bombed. He’s definitely had his share of bounces this year. Sure my horse has a lot of experience but that’s no guarantee here. On the flip side, he’s due a big win but I’ll be happy if he finishes in the top 3.\u201d In addition, with that comment what more can I say then GOOD LUCK WINTER.<\/p>\n
13\t38559\tSMOKENTATE \tKoolaid \tB Jonas \t13\/1\t ORIENTATE x SMOKE GLACKEN x END SWEEP SMOKENTATE started his 3yo season really smoking\u2026A winning streak of 4 wins back to back and jumping in SPs from 79 to 100,that colt is hot. A couple graded stakes how ever brought this highflyer back to earth with a bang. He has since then recovered and found his form again by wining with a triple figure.<\/p>\n
14\t95638\tSTORMFANG \tStormborn \tA Rolling \t12\/1\t MORE THAN READY x STORM CAT x SEEKING THE GOLD “Stormfang is the laziest colt in my operation…but he has also the fastest acceleration and one-furlong burst in my operation. He’s been stabled here at BC for the last four weeks, and he’ll have the top jock riding, but the rest is up to the horse. If he fires, you’ll know it because there will be a blur running across the screen in the final furlong!” Comments to STORMFANG as told to me by owner trainer Storm born<\/p>\n
15\t90642\tGRAND THIEVERY \tLopo87 \tK White \t19\/1\t MACHIVELLIAN x DEPUTY MINISTER x NUREVEY Another of the rising stars out of the up and coming GR.SIMSTER residency. After having some problems adjusting to being a 3yo he sure has found his way on the track and is now rearing to go. Nice win LTO wire-to-wire triple SPs money and bps in the bank. What more could you want<\/p>\n
16\t8189\tFLASH THE CASH \tLondoner \tC Bortz \t16\/1 \tCAT THIEF x NASHUA x DAMASCUS \u201cFlashy as he is know in the yard,\u201c a spokesperson said,\u201c is a really champ and a gentleman. Those 6 weeks off after his GIII appearance really did him a world of good. What he doesn\u2019t seem to like anymore is been stretched out. ALL his wins this season have been over 6,5 f so maybe he\u2019s trying to tell us something. Well after the race we will know more.<\/p>\n
17\t88659\tSHAFTED AGAIN \tEaglebarns \tD Bauder \t18\/1\t MINESHAFT x DANZIG x FORTY NINERFresh from winning a $150\u2019000 claim race this 3yo son of MINESHAFT has fared well in allowance company, he seems a bit overwhelmed by stakes runners. He posted a lifetime best in winning LTO .Can he do it again this time\u2026 SPs maybe; win probably not<\/p>\n
18\t89911\tMIKE’S CATCH (IRE) \tCalle3 \tHi Jackson \t21\/1\t CATHER IN THE RYE x HENNESSY x MR. PROSPECTOR Very promising as a 2yo, he has yet to live up to it as a 3yo.A versatile runner with wins over 5,5f to one mile, Now it\u2019s just a case of getting out of the gate and start to race.The rest will surely follow.<\/p>\n
19\t90923\tLOOKING FOR MORE \tGene \tP Bickett \t10\/1\t BRAHMS x PENTELICUS x DISTANT VIEW A lightly races 3yo by BRAHMS owned by the tee jay empire. After starting his 3yo campaign with a bit of a downer, he changed gears and hey presto 4 races 2 win 2 2nd all triple figures. If he can keep this up all the way, Tee Jay will be smiling all the way to the winner\u2019s circle. It\u2019s great to see such a young trainer bring out the best in his ponies (Sim or RL). One thing fore sure we will all be LOOKING FOR MORE\u2026<\/p>\n
20\t41760\tMINE BLUFF \tCarpediem \tKB Blalock \t29\/1\tWell you don\u2019t see that everyday, such a jump in sps. From 102 to 1 back to 101.his connections are never sure to pack a break parachute or give him the cab fare home. If MINE BLUFF wakes up in time and sticks like glue to the front-runners he might be in with a Chance. On the other hand …anybody got the number of the local taxi firm?<\/p>\n
Therefore, will it be boys against the girls or an old boys club at the wire. We\u2019ll have to wait and see.
In this field, the filly Whitener looks real good, but don\u2019t forget the other filly WILE E. CAPOTE she will be defending her number one spot as best dirt filly. I would say on the boys front I m heavily leaning towards STORMFANG, LOOKING FOR MORE and of course MEADOWGOLD, all top class sprinters.
UCIO BELLO, MINE BLUFF, MIKE’S CATCH (IRE), GO JENNAH GO and EL PRADO’S APPEAL (IRE) are all a bunch of runners with high odds, there shouldn\u2019t be any surprises in that lot.
AT 8\/1 we have HATTORI HANZO the bookies favourite, but not mine. DAY APPROVAL being the second favourite with LOOKING FOR MORE.
GOLD SACRIFICE, GOLDEN BANANA, RECANT and EL PRADO’S APPEAL (IRE) are making up the midfield in the odds, with GRAND THIEVERY, FLASH THE CASH and SHAFTED AGAIN are the front-runners of the odds group.
PROVEN AWESOME, MEADOWGOLD STORMFANG and SMOKENTATE are all at 11\/1 12\/10r 13\/1.
What do all these numbers mean\u2026I am not quite sure? Ok I understand the basics of betting but that about it. Looking at the PPs and SPs of all these racers has confused me even more than my head cold have.
Therefore, I have decided to take the scientific approach to wards my tips this week\u2026
I threw darts\u2026 8-6-3-19<\/p>\n
And then I tried checking what Yochem \u2018s got\u2026. 14-19-4-13<\/p>\n
