BERRY PICKIN’S

John Berry’s Handicapping Analysis & Selections

Please note that, because of possible late changes, numbers shown here may NOT correspond with program numbers. When wagering, always use the horse’s number listed in your official track program.

RACE ONE EARLY DOUBLE- 5-2, 5-5, 5-8 PICK-5 – 5 w 2,5,8 w 1,2 w 5 w 2,3,6 5-DRIVEN BY DESTINY…made strong backside binge in last (:28.2) on “cold” night & out-brushed late. Amends. 2-RUTHS SHADYLADY…left a little in last to improve early position then too much traffic while wide on turn. 4-DAKOTA LAW…was void of usual gate speed in last. Could be on the engine & yield for the garden journey.

RACE TWO 5-MAGIC CHEQUE…traveled a mile & 20 extra yards in last. 5 of 8 lifetime wins show him leaving. On engine?? 8-VICTORS COWBOY JOE…actually went a decent mile in last while spending lots of time outside looking in. 2-DO IT FOR ANNIE…mare will be on the engine here. Dips back down to spot where she won 2 starts back.

RACE THREE 2-DIRTY DEVIL…gave a hint in last showing stout pace on backside (:28). Drew better & can rev it up in the lane. 1-MYSTICAL VALENTINE…in new hands after brilliant win in last. Look for a quarter move to the top. The chalk. 4-CASCATA…very credible performance form 9 post in last...

Selections By “The Ace” John Hernandez

Sunday January 31, 2016

RACE 1

7 Count Jesse Fast turned in a lackluster comebacker … trainer Griffin gave him a month and Reyes stays on. 2 Kjr Three Oaks had a little trouble in his seasonal debut … the 6YO gets a new rider for his 20th career start. 1 Sis B Gols House has had trouble in a pair at the meet … “Double G” declines and Luis Guerrero takes over.

RACE 2

2 Samanthachoice improved in her second lifetime start … the 5YO mare might be able to win this time around. 10 El Lovo finished behind Samanthchoice in that January 18 heat … note that “the money man” takes the call. 6 Lenas Boogie Blues makes her third start of the session … could be a matter of “the third time’s the charm.”

RACE 3

6 Lethal Dynasty drops in for a tag after a no-threat comebacker a month ago … maybe he rebounds in this. 1 Sum Special Stuff missed the cut in the Hialeah Derby trials … his trainer/jockey duo is tops in these parts. 2 Insincere had a troubled comebacker January 11 … like the top two, he runs with a price on his head now.

RACE 4

3 Pams Okey Man figured to need that comeback start … his small-stable trainer Flores knows how to win ‘em. 9 Blazin Arrowm failed in his FQHRA Derby trial … still maybe he had an excuse as he broke through the gate. 4...

Saturday, January 30, 2016

RACE 1

4 Sheza Kool Game has finished 4th in a pair at the meet … crafty conditioner Strickland puts here in for a tag. 5 Sir Veza caught a sloppy track here 1/15 and broke his maiden … he may be able to step it up against these. 3 Aspecial Celebration flashed a hit of ability in his local debut … Osdany Leal got to know him better that day.

RACE 2

3 Zoomin Through Dixie made a late bid as a beaten fave 1/11 … a lack of early lick compromises his chances. 5 Georgina Sport finished ahead of the top one in that 1/11 hook race … she was not effective on the cut back. 7 Amicita is compromised by the post position draw … it’ll be a tough spot for the comebacker to win this race.

RACE 3

6 Mussel Man broke badly in a race won by eventual repeat winner Alibivory … perhaps he can make amends. 9 Smokin Hot Pants picks up top rider Omar Reyes for her second of the meet … her barn needs a turn of luck. 2 Ketel Magic was the beaten choice in the heat won by Sir Veza … he could move forward off that comeback.

RACE 4

4 Gallant Ways is an 11YO pro with 10 career wins … a small step forward off that 1/2 return should be enough. 7 Dashing Manner is another 11YO and he’s got 11 wins … if he runs like he did in that 1/3 win, he can repeat....

$3MM night at Big M; Can Do wires Open trotters
by James Witherite, Meadowlands Media Relations
East Rutherford, N.J. — On a night where 10 of 14 favorites were handed defeat, punters combined to wager $3,035,296 on Friday (January 29) evening’s harness racing program at The Meadowlands, with a near steady stream of minor upsets yielding generous dividends throughout.
The first such minor upset came in the evening’s second event–the featured $25,000 Open Handicap Trot, as Can Do ($14.20) sprinted to the fore and never looked back.  Anthony Napolitano sent the 7-year-old Cantab Hall gelding right to the front, establishing a clear lead on the first turn while 6-5 favorite Opulent Yankee (Andy Miller) was hard used to secure the pocket from his outside post assignment.  Can Do rated a moderate :56.2 initial half before facing stern first-over pressure from Uva Hanover (Tim Tetrick) on the far turn.  The two dueled through a :28.2 third split, but Can Do maintained the upper hand, edging clear off the corner and eluding pocket rival Opulent Yankee by three lengths for a 1:53.2 victory, his second in three starts.  Uva Hanover flattened to finish third, while Detroit Rapper (Jim Marohn, Jr.) made a mild bid off cover to save fourth.
Jody Riedel owns and trains Can Do, now a 31-time winner.
The sub-featured fourth race, a $15,000 trotting event for horses which have not won six races or $100,000, saw Ron Burke trainee Its Huw You Know ($11.20) score in pillar-to-post fashion as...
