Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
1ST RACE – (2) REASONABLE FORCE has been screaming for class relief and gets it here. Logical choice also dips down, but we’re after bit more value here.
2ND RACE – (5) PITTSTOP KIP is one who rarely wins, did hang around in last after being out the mile. Many things have to go right, ought to be square price.
3RD RACE – (4) WESTERN BEACHBOY is taken to get out of the gate and take this division of Sagamore Hill as far as he can. Main rivals both drew outside.
7TH RACE – (1) MOOSE MADNESS is boardless in eight tries this season, which is far from motivation. That said, wins draw in abjectly blank sewing circle.
11TH RACE – (6) SIR PUGSLEY draw poorly for second off bench, though is in a race flush with inside speed. Perhaps it sets up for closer, gets him ‘peeked’.
12TH RACE – (2) LIGHTNING ONMYFEET is another who would not turn down facing lessers. Intrigues with good draw, suspect comp. this level, finale nod.
$2 +/ – (thru Sat., March 16) – 47 wins ($291)
from 279 ($558) selex (-$267, Powerball gonna get us even)
highest-priced winner – MALNIFICENT ($24)
lowest-priced winner – SEASWIFT JOY N ($2.50)
