SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 18

Race 1: 4- Myeyesadoreya N – Drops in class and looks to start the Daily Double. 1- Princess Dalia – Should be tough from the rail. 2- Come What May –
Could make the ticket upon returning to Northfield. 7- Dakota Sleek – Could add value to the exotics.

Race 2: 2- Nutmegs Yankee – Was a winner last time out and could roll again to start tonight’s Pick 5. 4- Bourbon And Barley – Made the ticket in three of
her last four races and should be right there again. 1- Tammysmist – Could make the ticket from the rail.

Race 3: 5- Designed To See – Won her sophomore debut and could score again in her return effort. 4- Dealmaker Hanover – Made the ticket in both of her
last two races and looks to be right there again tonight. 7- Mach The Rock – Looks to be a factor upon coming to Northfield. 1- Deo’s Perfectsound – Could
add value to the exotics.

Race 4: 5- My Fleet Three – Just missed last time out; may not miss tonight. 8- Becks Wood Place – Could do well in here despite starting from the far
outside. 1- Amazing Graciejane – Looks to make the ticket from the rail. 7- Dixie Lullaby – Has as good of a shot as any in here to complete the Superfecta.

Race 5: 5- Timeless Utah – Draws into a race where several could win; this one could trot home a winner with the right trip. 1- Emerald Chip – Looks to be
tough from the rail. 2- Graceful Jarmbro – Should not be overlooked as a real threat in here. 4- I’ll Have Another – Yet another worthy of due consideration.

Race 6: 5- Caribbean Moon – Draws into a highly competitive field; this one gets a slight...

Some insights into tonight’s racing program
(if seeing this before Preakness, we’ve returned to Win Win Win…so there).
1 ST RACE – (4) WINSTON was snapped at wire in added-distance try when
four-eyeballed week ago. Surmise again forwardly-placed, stay in flat-mile opener.
2 ND RACE – (3) HOT DEUCE returns here at lesser level that’s well within
his margin of error. Can leave gate and would imagine fresh set of hands does that.
3 RD RACE – (3) MI NINA BONITA was unwise to duck in her division of
Reynolds last week, then offered belated pace. Take shot in first elim of Lismore.
4 TH RACE – (6) BUGSY MAGUIRE was out the mile in each of last couple,
winning battle but losing war week ago. Can’t possible get any more brutal, can it?
7 TH RACE – (7) IN SECRET figures to leave despite the impost in watered-
down trot feature. If not that much grief getting surmised lead, nod to handle these.
8 TH RACE – (10) WIND BLAST tuned in solid, local-debut effort this level
two starts ago. Slips down to that class again and gets endorsed from back of bus.
12 TH RACE – (8) OUR MAX PHACTOR N probably confirms we’re loyal
to a fault. Chased a solid number in last and gonna have do more chasing in finale.

$2 +/- (thru Tue., May 14) – 107 wins ($653.70)

from 536 ($1,072) selex (-$418.30, a small price to pay for fresh daily content)

highest-priced winner – MALNIFICENT ($24)
lowest-priced winner – SHEBANG N ($2.20)

Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:
(remember, it’s Preakness Day tomorrow, first Pimlico post @ 10:30 AM
and we’re going to well again with Win Win Win…so there, there, there).

1 ST RACE – (4) SOMETIME’SAWINNER could not hack it chasing a swift
Pocono mile in last. If didn’t get starch taken out of him, goes with these claimers.

2 ND RACE – (5) CHACHING HANOVER has been runner-up in half of his
last six tries. His last effort quite good, pocket into quickie mile, same venue here.

4 TH RACE – (1) CLEAR IDEA was a ‘peeked’ winner in last from an antsy
pocket, now goes back up the ladder. Would not be a great surprise winning draw.

5 TH RACE – (8) GUNPOWDER N is a proven number at this level, winning
off class dip some six weeks ago. Layoff plus struck behind eight-ball mean value.

6 TH RACE – (1) DELIGHTFULMEMPHISN is difficult to ignore winning a
1-thru-6 in week’s distaff derby. Did disappoint in Matchmaker, lass is no slouch.

10 TH RACE – (1) TACT TATE N earns a third consecutive gaze, surmising
there’s something there to work this level. Thus, put up or shut up time from pole.

$2 +/- (thru Tue., May 14) – 107 wins ($653.70)
from 536 ($1,072) selex (-$418.30, plan to get even in Preakness)

highest-priced winner – MALNIFICENT ($24)
lowest-priced winner – SHEBANG N ($2.20)
