Woodbine Boxing Day Picks From Wilbur Woodbine
Team IdaBet is please to share Woodbine’s Boxing Day selection by Wilbur Woodbine!
WOODBINE RACETRACK – 12/26/2017 – “Boxing Day” selections by Wilbur Woodbine – First Post 1pm ET
Another year has passed and it’s time for the annual Boxing Day selections. Let’s say you’ve got $100 to invest on this card. Here’s how were gonna do it. A 2 race win-place parlay.
We’ll start in race #5, the $34,400 final of the Niagara Series for 3 y/o fillies.
$40 win-place on the $5 Jazzy Image. Conditioner Lambert reaches out to the talented young Trevor Henry to steer. A real nice filly, and a really nice choice in pilots.
We’ll continue in race #9, the $34,000 final of the Valedictory Final for 3 y/o colts and geldings.
Split the proceeds from race 5 in an equal win-place wager on the #6 Better B Rolling. Jody picks up the steer for (.457) UTR trainer Morrison. This altered offspring of Roll With Joe is 9 of 12 in the win column and once runner-up. Goes for his 5th straight since a win at the Hilltop on November 20.
So for the other 10 contests, go $2 win, or $1 wp as follows.
Race 1—#7 The Power Of Many
Race 2—#2 Overcomebyvictory
Race 3—#8 Gillys Boy
Race 4—#3 The Big Beast
Race 6—#5 Oceanview Deb
Race 7—#5 Jack Rackham
Race 8—#5 Rose Run Rudi
Race 10–#1 Brilliant Strike N
Race 11–YGIAGAM (your guess is as good as mine)
Race 12–#4 Kingsley B
Good luck to those who play and thanks for choosing IdaBet.com!

From the “Ayers Above” FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22
Race 1: 2- Audrey Anna – Draws into a race where several could win; this one gets the slight call over the others to take tonight’s opener. 1- Tomei Seelster – Looks to be tough in here if she minds her manners. 5- Riviera – Could be a factor with a clean effort. 3- Champagne Shower – Should get a good trip from the inside.
Race 2: 4- Thrill Chaser – Has won two straight and is stepping up to face tougher company tonight, looks to be a strong contender. 2- Lillian Road – Looks to be tough at this level of competition. 7- Royal Point – Draws tough this week, but is coming three straight game performances. 9- C G Satin – Could add value from the second tier.
Race 3: 3- It’s A Miracle – Drops in class tonight after a tough, but game effort against Open company last time out, draw was very kind. 4- Tiger’s Sue – Has won four straight and is looking to continue the streak tonight. 6- Here Comes Harlee – Jumps in class tonight after showing speed against easier last out, expect more.
Race 4: 3- Dangerous Woman – Has been forced to close from off the pace in her last two starts, I expect her to be close and closing. 9- Missevil – Another with a big shot in here. 1- Wynnfrith – Should provide a little bit of value off the rail tonight. 4- Bling – Has as good of a shot as any in here to complete the Superfecta.

Keeneland Presents American Graded Stakes Standings: Lewis Bay Adds To Brown’s Banner Year
Lewis Bay showed no signs of rust when she charged to a 1 ¼-length victory in the Grade 3 Rampart Stakes at Gulfstream Park last weekend. The race marked the first start in 13 months for the 4-year-old daughter of Bernardini, whose last start prior to the Rampart was a second-place finish in the G3 Comely at Aqueduct in November 2016.
The victory by Lewis Bay in the Rampart provided trainer Chad Brown with his 35th graded stakes winner this year, keeping him securely at the top of the American Graded Stakes Standings trainer list.
