Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
1ST RACE – (4) SHOW THE FASHION goes out for a third barn in as many starts. Tired cutting mile in latest for this number, surmising could be opener price.
3RD RACE – (4) MILADY DENVER A was non-factor trying to this level in last. Gazed whipping lesser, stayed in aforementioned start, dressed-up rivals here.
4TH RACE – (5) BUDDY HILL has been runner-up last couple in statebreds. Outer-venue speed when crew last here, nod in first event of NYSS Crawford Pace.
5TH RACE – (2) HICKFROMFRENCHLICK won a not-for-squeamish final of Sheppard Pace. Ideally would stalk polester in second group of Crawford Pace.
8TH RACE – (5) MEDUSA has been four-eyeballed here a few times against better lasses. Returns from western PA against lesser, but chases pole class-dipper.
10TH RACE – (5) DELISHKA N earned herself ‘peek’ from an eight-hole in North American purse bow. Did not fire taking money from sloppy eight-ball, stay.
