Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
1ST RACE – (5) NORTHERN ASSASSIN A has not disgraced after handful of selections last season. Done no favor with tepid pole leave in ’18 finale, though.
4TH RACE – (5) BETTOREVER has seen better days as in 1-for-27 a season ago. Was used up in quickie Jersey fractions in last, returns here as bottom feeder.
6TH RACE – (1) SWELLENDAM may not be much in the value department, having won handily last time with these. Gets a rare good draw, gets himself a nod.
8TH RACE – (4) BB’S HARLEY left here as a ’25,’ now priced to move for 20-large. That number seemed a good Philly fit, so taken to repeat in seasonal bow.
10TH RACE – (3) IDEAL TYSON A did end last season with solid, off-pace try before a no-chance trip. Surmise dip down ladder, suspect comp. work for him.
12TH RACE – (8) DOCTOR BUTCH continues godawful draws, but this one comes with some needed rival respite. Despite impost, surmising finale aggression.
Thank you for a great season and choosing IdaBet as the spot to place your wagers!

From the TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8
Race 1: 3- Mesmerized – Finished second last time out; could step-up tonight and get the job done. 1- I’ve Got Spirit – Should be
a tough contender from the rail. 4- Summit City Annie – Looks to do well in here if she minds her manners. 8- Kandy King – Could
grab a piece of the action despite starting from the far outside.
Race 2: 3- Burton Blue Chip – Drops in class and could get the job done at this level of competition to start the Pick 5. 1- If You
Want Fire – Draws the rail upon receiving class relief. 5- Heisenberg – Made the ticket last time out and could be right there again
tonight.
Race 3: 2- Benn’s Clearout – Was a winner last time out and could strike again tonight despite facing tougher. 9- Away My BabyFinished second last time out and could be the runner-up again tonight. 1- Ray Hall – Looks to be a solid contender from the rail.
5- DD’s Comet – Could add value to the exotics.
Race 4: 9- Barefoot Bluejeans – Draws into a race where several could win; this one gets the slight call over several others to get the
job done in here. 2- Just Crowned – Another that looks to have a big shot in here. 1- Low Card – Could be a factor upon coming to
Northfield. 7- Charmbo Curiosity – Has as good of a shot as any in here to complete the Superfecta.
Race 5: 4- Forsumoddreason – Draws into a highly competitive field; this one could get the edge over tonight’s competition. 1- May
West – Made the ticket in all three of her most recent races and looks to be right there again tonight. 8- Mi Amada Juanita – Could
make the ticket despite starting from the far...
