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

1ST RACE – (3) BLUE SWAN led to lane going added distance a week ago, stays this level in opener. We’re surmising value with free-ride winner from pole.

3RD RACE – (4) BOSS DU FOSSE raced in overnight event while ‘peeked’ last week. Picked off final pay envelope in fair effort, we stay returning to series.

6TH RACE – (1) QB KEMP is the new face upon arrival from Spankyville in Columbus. Drew poorly of late there, pole-dances here and opposes not very much.

7TH RACE – (6) CHASIN’ DREAMS leaves the sire stakes. That, if nothing else, makes gelding as competent as any here, so taken to whip marginal mélange.

8TH RACE – (6) BLUEBIRD JESSE has not been overly consistent number, confounding us thinking there’s more to him. Beaten fave this level two starts ago.

9TH RACE – (2) BEATRICE did not disgrace herself when four-eyeballed a week ago, closing second at price to open-length winner. Sort of forces us to stay.

11TH RACE – (2) OBRIGADO returns for first try since July of ’17. Trotter may not be what he was (join crowd), but assignment in weekly feature too good.
