Bret Battaglia’s Turfway Park Picks for Thursday, Jan 28th

1

SUPER INDIAN moves back in for a tag in his first start since August when he was third on the grass at Mountaineer. He ran a solid race before that one at Belmont as well and is the choice to pick up the maiden win here. ROCK HARBOR drops in class after an even effort in his first start over the track and looks like the one to beat. BLAZING SAINT was fourth in his debut and figures to move forward off of that one.

2

I’M SO VAIN didn’t fire last time out against starter allowance company, but was second against similar two starts back. She hooks a slightly softer field tonight and looks like she’s in a good spot to pick up the win. RED HOT PLOT shows three in the money finishes in her last three starts over the track, but is questionable at this distance. KERISMA was second best in her last start and could be dangerous here.

3

SOMMERVILLE MISS was no match for the winner in her last start, but was clearly second best in that one. She’s won over the track in the past and rates a slight edge here with Prescott back aboard. CASH IN MY POCKET drops in for a tag for the first time in her first start since moving to Werre’s barn. She’s been off since October, but has run well against tougher and will be tough to beat tonight if she’s ready. WISH KEEPER has a chance

4

DUCHESS WHITNEY looked sharp winning last...

Opulent Yankee triumphs in Big M Open Trot
by James Witherite, Meadowlands Media Relations
East Rutherford, N.J. — Just as an impending snowstorm closing in on the New York City metropolitan area did not interrupt Friday (January 22) evening’s 14-race program at The Meadowlands, eight rivals closed in–but failed to engulf–Opulent Yankee ($4.60, part of entry) in the featured $25,000 Open Handicap Trot, carded as race two.
Andy Miller floated forward with the 5-year-old Muscles Yankee gelding at race’s outset, working clear of Massacaia (Brett Miller) well after a :27 initial quarter mile.  Once assuming command, Opulent Yankee kept at a sprightly tempo, reeling off intermediate splits of :55 and 1:23.3 while his stablemate Allerage Star (Scott Zeron) gradually gained into a joint second with a boxed Massacaia.  Off the far turn, Opulent Yankee kicked clear at will, extending his lead to three lengths in mid-stretch before taken in hand late for a 1:52.1 win, his first of 2016 and his ninth career triumph.  Detroit Rapper (Jim Marohn, Jr.) negotiated heavy traffic through the stretch, splitting foes in the final sixteenth to just take second,...
