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

(Dos Equis all around)

1^ST RACE – (1) MACH TIME N went wrong way in hurry first-up in latest. Takes tumble, wins draw and thus ought to be quite usable in Derby Night opener.

2^ND RACE – (4) THISJETSABOOKIN’ had no chance versus better in Levy and no chance from rotten draws after that. Porridge is just right against this gang.

5^TH RACE – (8) DREAM OUT LOUD N earned gaze last out, stuck at rear of non-moving train. Been quite good for while, we’re suckers for eight-ball value.

7^TH RACE – (4) ARSENIC was snapped after open lead in lane, claimed out of that try. Protected in Happy 87^th Birthday Willie Mays (a day early) Invitational.

8^TH RACE – (7) BUEN CAMINO made requisite strides in second ’18 try, a solid big-track win. Gonna have to earn it from here, though adult trot seems light.

9^TH RACE – (4) SUNFIRE BLUE CHIP was apparently way too polite when gazed week ago. Yield after making immediate lead, stuck in, found room too late.
