Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:
4TH RACE – (4) ALTA JEROME N finds his way back and into event that ‘s not supposed to be fair fight. Gets way too much class and post relief to falter here.
5TH RACE – (6) ACEFORTYFOURAMANDA has a solid resume when up against the lower-condition ladies. Only drawback is she’s a chaser, needs way in.
7TH RACE – (3) THREEDEE DELIGHT A is eligible for improved effort in second local try. Did miss 17 days prior to last, gazed in ‘Thinking of You, Shirley’.
8TH RACE – (5) BLACKNSWEET ADDA A could not tolerate backside air in last. Making only sixth start of season, lass has done enough good things to nod.
9TH RACE – (3) TRAVEL PLAYLIST slapped around lesser after resurface, looking to have another class in him. Former NYSS champ get repeat ‘peek’ here.
10TH RACE – (4) REASONABLE FORCE is, admittedly, tricky proposition. Dips down to max level and even then rarely gets window respect, it’s finale flyer.

Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:
1ST RACE – (4) ALI closed for second in last out and twice been bridesmaid in past three. That limited resume makes him as functional as any in here, however.
2ND RACE – (1) CARLO’S SUPERSTAR has been paying her way, though without getting that photographer meet-and-greet. Outrun in PA stake 23 days ago.
3RD RACE – (7) CLEMSON tries it here after plying craft at three-turn miles in Pennsylvania. Don’t know what he is, but do know what he sees ain’t whole lot.
4TH RACE – (7) BROOKIE’S PRINCE N is out three weeks, scratch-sick in between. That and rotten draw conspire again him, but local track work quite good.
5TH RACE – (2) WESTERN PASSAGE is a rare barn rep this season, hitting town from suburban Toronto. Shows Ontario-bred, small-track win, so gets gazed.
10TH RACE – (3) LATE MAIL N can leave gate, how she’s made money her money here. Best getaway in quite some time, so figure lass is gettin’ out of there.

Some insights into this morning’s racing program for our IdaBet.com players:
1ST RACE – (7) IN SECRET could not match strides with Marion Marauder in Cleveland, but recent form spree terrific. ‘Catch him if they can’ in A-M opener.
4TH RACE – (10) TROPICAL TRICE returns after a pair of thirds at wooden Nichols. Slithers under monetary ceiling for bottom feeders, back-of-bus intrigue.
6TH RACE – (2) SUMMER SIDE is one we’ve been chasing for a while. ’16 Sheppard champ (this season’s race was last nite) needed pocket room sooner last.
7TH RACE – (3) DEWYCOLORINTHELINE is ‘bad news good news’ angle here. Last handful have been poor, slips down to hinterlands, ought to handle ‘em.
9TH RACE – (2) OPTIMIST BLUE CHIP gets desperately-needed class dip this time around. Third off bench, couldn’t sniff classier from outer venues, gazed.
10TH RACE – (3) VILLE VALO is back here for first visit since late April. Was bottom number then and has lost 10 local tries but took air last couple in PA.
