We are pleased to offer our IdaBet players some hot picks from our favorite Sulkey Sam!
Race 1 card one
#7 Pine Tab—won easily here on Sunday with today’s pilot Hannah Miller. The pupil of trainer Surick has great gate speed to offset the 7 post draw.
The #1 Kween Mightus, the #2 Rush N Supreme, and the #3 Tinder, all have enough positive attributes to get this should our top selection find trouble.
.
Race 2 card one
#4 Miss Me Yet—shows the ability to leave, and even if pilot Teague opts to sit back, she only has to pass 3 rivals to get the job done in this small quartet of 4 y/o and up pacers.
Race 1
#5 Always B Magic—makes his 2nd start back after riding the pine after 06/23. The job for young driver McCown will be to find the right helmet to follow at the precise time necessary.
#1 Indiana Cam—underwent a tough trip in his last start, and the #8 Americhi—shows us small track abilities that may be enough to conquer the poor post draw.
Race 2
#1 Mannys Too Special—won here last year as a 2 y/o and young pilot Henry has the advantageous rail draw. The 7/2 m/l animal shows small track abilities that should serve him nicely with this septet of 3y/o colt and gelding pacers.
#6 Dancin Fever—get the huge pilot upgrade to Miller, and is 11 of 20 in the win column in 2017.
#5 Ohio Larry—benefits getting Gingras here for Steck, and may surprise at the 8/1 m/l assignment.
Race 3
#1 Shake It Off Lindy—showed us 2 moves in his most recent start at Philly on 09/03. The talented young Zeron will steer for conditioner Antonacci.
#2 Moonshiner Hanover and #3 Andy M have Tetrick and Miller respectively to hit the underneath positions.
Race 4
#2 Official Delight —gets a huge driver upgrade to Miller, and looks to be the best of this group for conditioner Cox.
#1 Lovely Feelin and #4 Big Bad Arcster—both look highly capable and will be the ones to look at should our top selection fail to keep his long win streak alive.
Race 5
#1 Caprice Hill—gets Gingras, shows a good prep at the Meadowlands in her most recent, and the post draw is favorable.
#3 P L Jill and #5 Emoticon Hanover—are the most likely candidates to get this should our top selection fail. Emoticon Hanover races off a stale date, but is highly capable with veteran Dube doing the steering chores.
Race 6
#3 McSpidey—is a bullring track specialist, and #5 Smokin Willie is in can’t lose mode currently. Both should enjoy similar support at the windows.
#2 Aruba Al—rides a 3 race race win streak coming into today’s fray. Wrenn Jr. in the bike is a plus.
Race 7
#8 Mystical Rock—goes for his 4th straight win here for Wrenn Jr. and conditioner Schmucker. Looks to possess enough gate speed to overcome the poor post draw.
#2 Hard Cold Cash and #3 Chance I Might—with Brett Miller and Nisonger respectively are the logical choices to use in exotic wagering.
Race 8
#4 Official Star—picks up the premier pilot on the planet in Gingras, and will make a lot of noise for conditioner Steck in this bunch.
#7 Ogradys First Man—gets Wrenn Jr. and that is a huge positive pilot upgrade. The gelded son of the underrated sire Manhardt is Sam’s pick to use underneath for you exotic pleasures.
Race 9
#4 Rock On Creek—is the only one in here to have competed in the $250k OSS final at Scioto on 09/02. Red hot pilot Page scores his 1st of the day with this guy for the busy conditioner Brown.
#6 Coach Zuzek—gets the lauded pilot Gingras for trainer Burke to use underneath our rock solid top selection.
Race 10
#3 Letsallrock—is one of 3 in here to qualify for the big money OSS final at Scioto on 09/02. He was the public’s choice that night, but the front-end was no good that evening. Young Tyler Smith makes amends to his pop, trainer Jeff.
#2 JoJo’s Pet Rock, #4 Long Train Runnin, and #5 Dragonology—are logical choices to compete for the minor spoils in this group of 2 y/o colt and gelding pacers.
Race 11
#2 Seeing Eye Single—is 5 for 5 in his freshman campaign for trainer Burke. Kakaley up for the initial time on him today.
#7 Rockathon—was 2nd to the one listed above in the big money OSS final on 09/02. Noble steers as usual for trainer Dailey.
#1 Slick Mick—also competed in the race mentioned above and was a close-up 5th to earn a check for Wrenn Jr. and Brown.
Race 12
#3 Drunk On Your Love—won the 3 y/o colt and gelding final at Scioto on 09/02. The altered son of previous Jug competitor Forclosure N then race in the Jug Preview and was a credible 4th in there. The best here for Noble and trainer Pollock Jr.
#2 Lightning Onmyfeet—has the talented young Wrenn Jr., and was scorched from the 8 post in that OSS final in a 26.2 opening panel. The 2 post draw will suit him much better here.
#1 Scotch McEwan—has the rail, was 3rd in the OSS final, and has his usual pilot Sutton between the shafts for trainer Dailey.
Race 13
Has Sam in a quandary. The 1, the 3, the 5, the 7, and the 8 can all make good cases to enjoy victory today. Good luck.
Race 14
#4 McRaven—is the 3/1 m/l fave choice of the trackman, and Sam sees no reason to dispute it.
#2 Cams Valentino and the #6 McLucky—get positive pilot upgrades with Gingras and Miller respectively, and are must uses underneath for exotoc considerations.
Race 15
#3 Rockin Away—is 4 of 5 in his freshman campaign, and has won twice with Page who will partner with him again today. The best in here.
#4 Bounding Dragon and #5 Gotarocketinmypocket—are the ones we see having the best chances to fill the underneath positions for exotic play.
Race 16
#5 Downbytheseaside—goes for his 4th straight here in the Jug for Sears and Brown. The millionaire seems poised to grab honors in the 1st heat here.
#1 Funknwaffles—gets the rail, and “Captain” Corey Callahan and could surprise many with a solid effort.
#3 Fear The Dragon—is a question mark after lameness last month interrupted his schedule. Sam thinks he might be too rusty to justify his millionaire status.
Race 17
#4 Rosemary Rose—gets Gingras, and looks to have the small track abilities that will serve her well in this. Her last 2 starts were dismal, and must be overlooked if you want to support her.
#3 The Lady Vanishes and the #6 Pistol Packin Mama—are the ones we see as logical contenders to get there if our top selection is no good.
Race 18
#6 Barnabas—was 4th in the OSS final, is the 5/2 m/l choice, and simply looks better than his 7 foes it his one.
#1 Ron’s Pro and #2 Mr McDreamy—should nicely fill the underneath positions for your exotic play.
Race 19
#4 Rosa’s Touch—was 3 in the OSS final, and seems deserving of the 2/1 m/l assignment by the trackman. Kakaley steers for Burke.
#1 McTravisty, #2 Hula Shuffle, and #3 U Doit B B—get Miller, Gingras, and Sears respectively, and seem logical to complete any exotic wagering you are considering.
Race 20
We will stay with our picks from the 1st heat while unable to know if they were accurate or not. Good luck to all, and get home safely.
