Some insights into the Presidents’ Night racing program for our IdaBet.com players:

1^ST RACE – (2) PRETTY ANGEL EYES has been gazed upon since hitting town, with couple of couldn’t-reach trips. Let us see what good draw brings with it.

3^RD RACE – (2) CLASSY CHAPEL N tried it first-up in last, just pacing in place for even third. Would help to be bit more aggressive earlier this time around.

4^TH RACE – (1) ROCK IT SCOTT turned in a credible ’18 debut week ago, third to decent one in good mile. License to improve second start off barn change.

6^TH RACE – (6) D G’S ELSA sucks us in again. Hard leave last week into a contentious front end before giving way, but continue thinking she can work here.

7^TH RACE – (5) FAITHFUL DESIRE does not usually get best of getaways when seen locally, so somewhat hard to gauge. May be in her pay grade…or not.

11^TH RACE – (5) ANN HILL was four-eyeballed from behind eight-ball in local return. Former NYSS standout gets enough post relief to get a repeat stare.
