Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:

1ST RACE – (2) PART-TIME HANOVER finds way here via the Maritimes, and we always enjoy those fine folks. Won last couple but been out 23 days, so…?

2ND RACE – (5) LANDONFITZ does not figure to have alibi. Rids an eight-hole this level, then three consecutive second-tiers versus ‘French’ better, thus nod.

4TH RACE – (7) RED DIRT REBEL is another from eastern Canada, though had decent Pocono try 23 days between starts. Need not be much to liquidate these.

5TH RACE – (5) WHO’S BETTER was put in tight quarters two back before closing well, then solid third into track-record mile in latest. We hop aboard again.

7TH RACE – (5) YOU SAID IT was four-eyeballed when here from wooden Nichols off barn change. Promptly managed to get himself lost as odds-on favorite.

9TH RACE – (2) TITANIUM N comes out of same race as fifth-race number, finishing second. Same venue here, even with class hike, substantially less in way.

From the “Ayers Above MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24

Race 1: 5- Ray Hall – Was a winner last time out and looks to strike again tonight. 4- Finish Line – Drops in class and looks to be tough in
here. 1- Pop I – Looks to be a factor from the rail. 7- Ulf Hanover – Looks to be a solid contender despite the poor post draw.

Race 2: 3- Gorgeous View – Draws much better tonight and looks to score. 1- Instant Thrill – Could be tough from the rail. 4- Fraternity

1- Absolutely Certain – Could add value to the ticket from the rail.

prominently placed on this ticket. 1- Mccutchen – Looks to be in the thick of the action from the rail. 5- Always A Force – Has as good of a

9-24 mon proof

Sep 22, 2018

 It’s not too often a driver wins half a card of racing but that’s just what Mitchell Cushing did on Thursday (Sept. 20) at Plainridge Park. Cushing drove six winners on the 12-race program including a victory in the $15,000 6-year-old and under condition pacing feature with Lear Seelster.

Lear Seelster started from post two and stayed right there behind Tixnstones (Jim Hardy) who cut the mile. The race incrementally went :26.3, :56.1 and 1:24.1 under the challenge of an outer flow. But at the top of the lane it came down to Tixnstones and Lear Seelster and Cushing made the push that got the job done as Lear Seelster pulled away by a length to win in 1:52.3.

It was the seventh win of the year and a new lifetime mark for Lear Seelster ($5.00) who is owned by David Glazer and trained by Jim Nickerson.

Cushing also won with See Me Streakin (1:53.4, $13.40), Sports Lightning (1:51.4, $8.00), Jefferson Tare (1:52.2, $5.40), Manny (1:52.1, $3.00) and Siskel (1:52, $35.40).

In the eleven races Cushing drove, he also finished second and third twice each and combined with the six wins gave him an amazing Universal Driver Rating (UDR) of .707. Cushing is having a career year with 173 wins out of 788 starts earning $859,421 in purses and sporting a .363 UDR for the year.

Plainridge Park is well represented in North American harness racing as three of the top 10 percentage drivers compete daily at The Ridge. Drew Campbell is second with a .420 UDR,...

Some insights into this evening’s New York Night of Champions program for our IdaBet palyers:

1ST RACE – (4) FASHION CREDITOR proven lethal, or close to it, at any level that does not contain the words ‘Open’ or ‘Open Handicap.’ Hence, nodded.

2ND RACE – NYSS 2FT – (5) CONWAY KELLYANNE is one of a couple (see No. 3) who’s 2-for-2 here. This one figures the better price, that works for us.

3RD RACE – NYSS 2CT – (5) GIMPANZEE is blasphemous to try to beat, so we won’t. Pristine (6-for-6) and they haven’t come close to sniffing him. Next.

4TH RACE – NYSS 2CP – (2) BICORNE HANOVER has shot to stalk the logical pole-sitting choice here. Lad had useful season, intrigues to point of gaze.

5TH RACE – NYSS 2FP – (4) HURRIKANE NORAKANE found her way to our endearment, getting put up here early in sires season. Philly flyer in finale.

6TH RACE – NYSS 3FT – (2) PLUNGE BLUE CHIP is one of Ake quintet racing separately (as are Toscano trio). Fastest-ever YR trotter faded at 2, though.

7TH RACE – NYSS 3FP – (4) WISDOM TREE has been a beast all season, figures getting out of gate from mid-pack venue. Better than these until she’s not.

8TH RACE – NYSS 3CT – (3) WINNING SHADOW had less than no shot chasing Six Pack in last. Outside foe obviously one to beat, but this one no slouch.

9TH RACE – NYSS 3CP – (5) GHOST DANCE has put back-to-back wins entering this race. Seems to have figured it out, so we’re not above a four-eyeball.

12TH RACE – (4) ROCK THE NITE was in draw for not-quite-inner half of gate. We’re arguing he’s been sharper of late than those banished outside in finale.

$2 +/- (thru Tue., Sept. 18) – 250 wins ($2,016.70)
