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

1ST RACE – (2) ELECTRIC WESTERN is back for first time in a month, at same level of latest. That wasn’t bad, we’re giving mulligans for out-of-town tries.  

4TH RACE – (1) GIVENUPDREAMING has been wholly unreliable of late, beaten fave two and three starts ago. Moves in half-dozen places after good close.

5TH RACE – (1) MUSIC IS ART was here thrice in NYSS at 2 and 3. Wins draw after doing solid Pocono work, barn has sent out nothin’ but live ones of late.

6TH RACE – (6) GRUDEN has been quite the consistent number of late and need only outleave five foes this time around. Earns repeat ‘peek’ in marquee trot.

7TH RACE – (1) CHANTEPLEURE was done no favors by ill-advised take- no-prisoners drive in last. That said, away from adult pace with generous getaway.

8TH RACE – (1) GREAT VINTAGE continues tonight’s pole theme. Hard-knocking SOB has made $1.3 million by being able to chase gate, take catching.

11TH RACE – (1) SUCH AN ANGEL was put in play week ago after couple of months away. Did tire noticeably in pocket, dips and should be speed-tightened.
