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

1ST RACE – (4) SCARLET CHASER has been one we’ve chased in last few tries. Needed out earlier before a crisp close at 21-1, well-placed to handle opener.  

2ND RACE – (5) AMELIOSI was nary more than seat filler in adult-table trot this past Saturday night. Earned last envelope then, now slips into cozier environs.

3RD RACE – (2) RURAL ART need not be much to get picture taken tonite. Octet is combined 8-for-101 this season and this one has win at this level, so nod.  

5TH RACE – (4) FREAKONOMICS has no visible excuse. Four-eyeballed in distaff derby and outrun, slipped and rebuffed first-up against buzzsaw. Dips again.

6TH RACE – (5) PRINCEOFTHEFOREST couldn’t hack quickie Harrington miles. Returns to site of last win, though this time priced to move, thus intriguing.  

7TH RACE – (6) NEWBORN SASSY has been rock solid for better part of a month. Drilled wannabes in B-C Matchmaker, track record in Delaware, continues.

12TH RACE – (4) SCANDALICIOUS was outrun in last pair of Matchmaker tries and enters here off nearly three weeks. However, these foes are not those foes.
