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

1ST RACE – (8) APPLE PATTY was snapped at wire (by No. 2 here) in last at Pocono. Made requisite strides for that second career start, locals don’t scare us.  

2ND RACE – (6) VIRGIN GOLD was a pocket, half-miler winner in central Jersey, which ought to make him as functional as any of these. Nod if finds way in.

5TH RACE – (1) QUINTSENTIAL TERROR has been twice a bridesmaid in pair of local/stateside efforts. Wins draw, though hasn’t offered early foot as of yet.

8TH RACE – (4) BIG THONG arrives from Toronto and two-hole win in last try. Goes from one competent barn to another, edge despite 23 days between starts.

10TH RACE – (1) SIMPLE KINDA MAN changes hands, ain’t exactly news for this time of year. Owns weight-class track record, pole-dances, same chauffeur.

12TH RACE – (5) PROVEN DESIRE gets a rare mid-pack venue, best since late September. Would not be surprised if he takes shot and leaves in ‘iffy’ finale.
