Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:
4TH RACE – (2) ARTIFACT HANOVER goes second Lasix, second U-S try with substantial post relief. Lookin’ around, those two fun factoids may be enough.
5TH RACE – (5) CARLO’S SUPERSTAR was ‘four-eyeballed’ in a seasonal bow, poor draw but fresh Lasix. Offered some ground-saving pace then, stay now.
7TH RACE – (5) DAVID HIMSELF has been plying craft between here and Pocono of late. Picking off small change in both venues with late pace, so maybe.
8TH RACE – (3) HALLIE’S COMET has not resembled useful number of a season ago while getting no support at windows. Last tepid shot before banished.
9TH RACE – (4) LUCBOBSKI has been going in right direction, hitting the board in four of his last five here and Pennsylvania. Gazed in hard-to-figure event.
10TH RACE – (4) D G’S ELSA finally delivered goods a week ago, sneaking up comes after we’ve stalked forever. Stay as trainer goes after double-four double.

Some insights into this afternoon’s racing program for our IdaBet players:
1ST RACE – (7) SMALLTOWNTHROWDOWN has been playing catch-up, making just third try of season. Former YR Trot runner-up did jump last time here.
3RD RACE – (1) DEWYCOLORINTHELINE returns here at what for him is dirt-cheap level. Wins draw in today’s third of four ‘French’ trots, thus gets gazed.
4TH RACE – (2) TOBER is another who finds himself at unusually-shallow end of pool. Solid, two-move effort after dipping to this class, need not be much.
6TH RACE – (1) SUMMER SIDE continues to very race well in recent tries. Outgamed by odds-on number this past Monday night, can’t vouch for pole value.
9TH RACE – (1) DREAM OUT LOUD N remains a ‘four-eyeball’ after last out. Leaving, yielding and getting buried behind stopper, has to get better trip here.
10TH RACE – (6) MACINTOSH N continues our theme of freefallers. Tried him last out versus better, going wrong way from pocket, so have to stay in finale.
