Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:
1ST RACE – (7) CARLO’S SUPERSTAR makes ’18 purse debut going with fresh purse Lasix off barn change. Surmising she won’t be going through motions.
2ND RACE – (2) DAMION DIESEL HAHN could not match strides chasing short-priced winner week ago. Missed second, but moving forward, so gaze again.
3RD RACE – (2) TWIN B LAKER returns from Ottawa, last seen in a lower-level statebred event as frosh. Career maiden should work in camera-shy gathering.
4TH RACE – (6) JERICHO DIVA had a useful seasonal debut versus similar. Another who has Excelsior resume that ought to translate to overnights, so gazed.
6TH RACE – (5) SUMMER SIDE has been a different—and better—number of late. ‘Peeked’ going down road a week ago and gets another crack at same level.
10TH RACE – (2) D G’S ELSA has been sort of a mandatory nod, seeming to show just enough to keep us coming back again. In four places here, so once again.

Some insights into tonight’s racing program:
(and Happy Mother’s Day, Shirley. Nearly 10 years, we’re thinking of you.)
1ST RACE – (2) CHUMLEE A gets a free ride and a good draw. Also gets a rather contentious opener, but his best is better than anyone else’s, so earns a gaze.
3RD RACE – (5) BETTERTHANBRIE did tire in seasonal debut across river after offering early foot. Speed-tightened in this group of Reynolds for soph ladies.
5TH RACE – (6) JERSEY JIM did not embarrass us last season, ending with upset in final of NYSS. Returns off life-best effort, nodded in stake for 3YO males.
6TH RACE – (4) KWIK TALKIN’ is back at scene of greatest night, the 2017 Sheppard Pace. Makes seasonal purse bow in tough event, but is a horse for course.
7TH RACE – (5) LONG LIVE ROCK acquitted himself well in Levy Series, then third in brisk Pocono event. Edge in intriguing adult overnight pacing feature.
10TH RACE – (2) ABNER THE GREAT hastily pulled pocket off very quick fractions in last. Tries it ‘tagged’ this time around, though may be above pay grade....
