From the “Ayers Above MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27
Race 1: 1- Gorgeous View – Has two wins in a row and looks to garner a three-peat tonight. 5- Bubbie Boy – Has been racing very well and the
trend looks to continue. 8- Delightful Braeden – Could make the ticket despite starting from the far outside. 3- Southern Winds – Could add value
to the exotics.
Race 2: 4- Rompaway Galaxy – Has a ton of back-class and could trot home a winner. 9- Deep Question – Looks to be tough from the second tier.
3- Buddy Hally – Drops in class and should be a legitimate factor in here. 7- Sweet Honey – Could grab a piece of the action despite the poor post
draw.
Race 3: 6- Final Offer – Was a winner last time out and could score again tonight to start the Pick 5. 1- Mi Nina Bonita – Looks to be tough from
the rail. 2- Pink Dragon – One of several in here that could make the ticket.
Race 4: 4- Rock Candy – Has shown ability in all four of his lifetime starts and looks to show it again tonight. 2- Dislocator – Another Brown
trainee with a shot. 7- Rock N Randy V – Could grab a piece of the action despite the poor post draw. 3- Sausalito Hanover – Could grab a piece of
the action at decent odds.
Race 5: 3- Rylee Roo – Finished second in both of her most recent efforts; could step-up and win tonight. 2- Rose Run Uptowngal – Has not missed
the ticket through five lifetime starts and looks to be right there again. 5- Sugar And Spite – Looks to be tough with the right trip. 7- High Reward –
Could grab a piece of the action despite the poor post draw.
Race 6: 1- High On Paydaze – Is undefeated through four starts and...
Monday’s “Lock” is at Northfield Park on race 11 with the #4-Prairie Jaguar-has 1:50 speed and should win for driver Trace Tetrick.

Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:
1ST RACE – (5) PARKIN’ IN HEAVEN invades after pair of Pocono thirds in company that’s as useful as what’s been going here. Nod in non-descript opener.
3RD RACE – (6) THUNDER SOME WHERE tried it first-up in first area try having missed three weeks. Has to chase free-rider three doors in, so there’s value.
4TH RACE – (4) APOTHIC hasn’t disgraced herself against better statebred stock than restricted class she sees tonite. Sort of addition by subtraction, thus nod.
6TH RACE – (2) LINE DANCER was a ‘peeked’ winner wiring lesser lasses week ago. Finds some toughies now, including speedy polester who could seat all.
8TH RACE – (1) MICKEY GEE N paced a very solid back half behind eight-ball in latest. Serious post relief for third continent try earns him sought-after gaze.
10TH RACE – (2) MORE DRAGON was a good first-up second to a formful back-class number upon local return. Catches hard-to-figure finale crowd, maybe.

Some insights into this afternoon’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
1ST RACE – (6) TOP FLIGHT ANGEL returns to scene of greatest triumph, the ’17 Yonkers Trot. This season’s edition rolls around Saturday nite, so why not?
5TH RACE – (5) STAR STUDDED CAST had missed three weeks off claim, then decent second first start for new barn. Figures tighter in rather ordinary group.
6TH RACE – (5) VERSACHET ingested Westchester’s finest air with trainer driving a week ago. Surmising shorter route in this twelve-furlong ‘French’ foray.
7TH RACE – (3) BLUEBIRD JESSE was a resurgent, ‘peeked’ winner week ago versus lesser. He’s never been easy to gauge, stepping up not out of question.
8TH RACE – (7) MOOSE MADNESS had the monetary ceiling raised to get him into the fray. By condition, part of a bland crowd, good as any if he can reach.
9TH RACE – (3) CHASIN’ DREAMS earned the four-eyeball treatment last Sunday, leaving sire and chasing home odds-on winner. Hard not to stay this time.
10TH RACE – (6) TROPICAL SPLASH AS tries it off a barn change hitting town from parts elsewhere. Perhaps as good an angle as any in very suspect locale.

Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
(reminder, we’re back at it again tomorrow @ 12:45 PM).
1ST RACE – (1) MAGNUM J is just seasonal 1-fer, but wins opener draw in field of abject underachievers. Need not be much off class dip to get picture taken.
2ND RACE – (4) CHEYENNE JEFFREY has done nothing wrong during his prolonged form spree. Solid, two-move effort in latest, finds comp. all around him.
3RD RACE – (5) GIVENUPDREAMING gets a mulligan after less-than-no-shot in last out. Slips to level he hasn’t seen in quite some time, should appreciate.
4TH RACE – (1) HIGHVIEW CONALL N is at the max of his pay grade and needs much to go right, even from pole. No reason not to be forward-placed tonite.
9TH RACE – (7) PACING MAJOR N is one we’ve been stalking for a while, with good (though non-winning) results. Loses blind draw, as much license as any.
11TH RACE – (1) TRAVEL PLAYLIST earns the ‘tested for class’ axiom in here. Has been quite good working way up ladder and can dictate, but can he last?
12TH RACE – (5) MIDWAY ISLAND has been living at this level for about month or so, teasing to suggest he can beat ‘em. Sees rather eclectic finale group.
