Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:

3RD RACE – (5) I’MA TRAGEDY N has lost 38-of-40 races in the past two seasons. That’s not good, but steps out of claimers after pair of decent tries, so…?  

5TH RACE – (5) TICKET TO SEATTLE raced evenly in three series efforts, which may be good enough here. Tepid gaze in event for also-rans of Bonus Trot.

6TH RACE – (5) CAVIART SKYLER returns as a rock-bottom number after flashing Philly foot. Another (see 3rd race) who’s far from prolific winner, though.  

7TH RACE – (4) OSVALDO BLUE CHIP has not done much wrong in trio of tries since returning here. These foes may actually be inferior to latest conquest.

9TH RACE – (HN2) BLUEBIRD JESSE wins draw for 85G finale of Bonus Trot Series. Pair of wins around locked-in trip, nod to upend three-headed monster.

11TH RACE – (1) CHANGE STRIDE N has no visible excuse here. Freefalls out of just-concluded Levy Series, sees best venue in forever. Out 17 days, though.
