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

(reminder, we’re at it again tomorrow, first post @ 11:30 AM)

1^ST RACE – (6) BORDER CONTROL A did need more after working out a pocket trip this past Tuesday evening. Right back in, tighter and gazed upon again.

4^TH RACE – (4) RURAL ART is above his pay grade—probably—but final ’17 try was solid and shall be price. That said, bravo to 304^th start of Foiled Again.

5^TH RACE – (1) MACINTOSH N is one of few that doesn’t owe as any coin. Not nearly as consistent, but catches sketchy group and ought to get workable trip.

7^TH RACE – (4) BETTOREVER was last seen here this past October, doing decent things at this level. Rids himself of rotten Philly draws and earns return nod.

10^TH RACE – (4) DO OVER HANOVER double-bumps back up claiming ladder. Wins at rarified rate and ‘peeked’ in ‘Welcome Rocky Genial’ Invitational.

11^TH RACE – (1) SANTA FE BEACHBOY comes off solid, bill-paying ’17 season, with consecutive wins here late. Taken in finale solely ‘cause he won draw.
