Some insights into tonight’s racing program

(reminder, after tonight’s stakes card, the Raceway

does not return until Friday night, June 8).

1st RACE – (5) LUKE’S COWBOY did not disgrace himself versus higher claimers. Not back to best level and against logical fave two doors in, but we gaze.

3RD RACE – (7) CAVIART REAGAN invades from Pompano after a Philly win. Has won twice in last three and sees foes with minimal current form this level.

4TH RACE – (5) BLOW A CLOUD N returns from a pair of useful Pocono to site of lone seasonal win. Slithers under monetary ceiling, should go with these.

7TH RACE – (7) BRIGADIERBRONSKI A probably won’t win this event (how’s that for encouragement)? Taken now to see if she’s worth ‘peeking’ later.

8TH RACE – (2) VORACITY gets too much post/class relief to ignore here. Drilled this level last time he faced ‘em and gets in against some lightweights now.

10TH RACE – (4) CARACCI HANOVER closed quite well in latest to just...

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

1ST RACE – (5) NORTHERN SOIREE was taken for this tag price couple of starts ago, then moved well out of her comfort zone. Returns to realistic class now.

2ND RACE – (5) FLYHAWK EL DIABLO is not quite professional maiden, but he’s close. Outrun in upstate Excelsiors, but minds manners and opposes squat.

4TH RACE – (1) SOHO JACKMAN A tries it fourth start off bench, getting serious post relief. Only nine purse starts last two seasons, but can get healthy here.

6TH RACE – (4) CELIA CANTABA has been four-eyeballed from time-to-time, despite offering no early foot. Eight-hole mulligan in last, mid-pack intrigue.

7TH RACE – (1) GALACTIC GALLEON N has lost 37-of-39 over past two seasons. Gazed in last dipping to bottom, offered decent pace after poor tow, so…?

10TH RACE – (2) BEACH BOOGIE slapped lesser in last, earning trip back up ladder. Hard to figure with any number of rotten draws, rare good one in finale.

Although a close third in his most recent graded stakes assignment in Kentucky, trainer Jeff Mullins’ Itsinthepost appears well positioned to reassert his dominance over the Southern California turf division as heads a field of eight 3-year-olds and up in Saturday’s Grade II, $200,000 Charles Whittingham Stakes, to be contested at a mile and a quarter over the Santa Anita turf.  A winner of three consecutive graded turf stakes earlier this year, French-bred Itsinthpost was beaten three quarters of a length as the 2-1 favorite going a mile and a half in a Grade II Stakes at Keeneland April 21.

California-bred What a View broke a three-game skid with a gate to wire score going a mile on turf in the Grade III American Stakes April 21 and he’ll try to stretch his speed an extra quarter mile in the Whittingham.

Third to What a View in the American, Kenjisstorm makes his third start for trainer Richard Baltas on Saturday, while Phil D’Amato’s Irish-bred Syntax returns from Northern California in search of a hot pace.

Good luck this weekend and thank you for choosing IdaBet.com!
