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

1^ST RACE – (4) BUGSY MAGUIRE hits town from Dover priced to move. Delaware lines don’t always translate here, but let us gaze what he brings to table.

2^ND RACE – (4) SPORTY SPOOK A ought to have no visible alibi dipping down the ladder. Went nowhere fast from outer draw six nights ago, handles these.

4^TH RACE – (4) HOT DEUCE continues our ‘go fourth’ theme for evening after an even effort in season’s debut. Free-legged lad taken to be more aggressive.

5^TH RACE – (7) DRUNKEN DESIRE A was put in for this number first day of season and held sway. See mundane group here, price if he overcomes impost.

6^TH RACE – (4) FRANNY LOVE DAT is another edition of ‘four-play’ this evening. Lass won at generous mutuel last time this level from exact same venue.

11^TH RACE – (3) PEMBROKE WILDCAT comes off rare flat effort as fave in latest. Best getaway in some time for confirmed off-pace number has him closer.

12^TH RACE – (5) PRETTY IMAGE was four-eyeballed in distaff derby last week, offering squat. That race didn’t fill, so ‘peeked’ going down ladder in finale.

——

$2 +/- (thru Tue., Jan. 16) – 12 wins ($157.20)

from 48 ($96) selex (+$61.20, I’m as surprised as anyone)
