Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players, beginning final weekend of season.
1ST RACE – (5) TOWNSLIGHT HANOVER was a local track record-holder as a frosh many moons ago. One win each of last two seasons and bottom claimer.
4TH RACE – (1) DECLARATION OF WAR seems to be more a competent sort when he knows he’s for sale. Is so again here, and winning draw won’t hurt.
5TH RACE – (1) BRALEY HANOVER is officially on notice, disappointing us constantly since hitting town. Once more shot from pole before we pay no mind.
6TH RACE – (6) JUSTICE MY WAY has worked for this missive more than once. Chased home handy winner in much-improved effort, not exactly consistent.
7TH RACE – (5) SASSA HANOVER has had misfortune of going up against resurgent ma’am in last couple. Millionairess not lass she was, but can work here.
10TH RACE – (2) BROWN BRINNY continues to draw well and continues to get gazed. She’s never a surprise with half a trip at this level, wouldn’t be here.
12TH RACE – (4) LAKEISHA HALL offered some late, 50-1 pace last week in distaff derby. Leaves adults, but this high-condition finale came up quite tough.
