Some insights into tonight’s first-of-the-month racing program for our IdaBet players:

(reminder, no Sundays until the last one of this month).

1^ST RACE – (6) BLAISE MM HANOVER was last seen locally begging for racing room in lane. Big-track, 10-hole speed in latest, returns with ‘for sale’ sign.

2^ND RACE – (3) ARMOR HANOVER making first local try since October of ’16. Useful against high-end foes then, been slapping around Catskillers of late.

5^TH RACE – (2) PHIL YOUR BOOTS comes off a weak, first-up try in his latest effort. Was ‘peeked’ then and we stay, thinking this is softer group for class.

6^TH RACE – (3) RUBBER DUCK acquitted himself well in seasonal debut, second-tier ‘French’ fourth. Gets what seems to be very generous assignment now.

9^TH RACE – (3) TACO TUESDAY bumps up without winning, usually no-no. That said, been victimized by any number of no-chance trips of late, so gazed.

11^TH RACE – (4) ALL DOWN THE LINE was goin’ nowhere fast in latest from outer post against odds-on winner. Finale nod, though may be out of element.

——

$2 +/- (thru Tue., Jan. 30) – 23 wins ($220.90)
