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

1^ST RACE – (4) NF HAPPENSTANCE could not have asked for better set- up in flat-mile trot feature. Wicked speed, benevolent getaway, abbreviated field.

2^ND RACE – (4) ANDY RAY has been quite good both in seasonal efforts, including rallying third to pair in here. Draws inside both those foes, turns tables?

4^TH RACE – (4) NEW SHERIFF crosses border after decent performances over Ontario ‘B’ small tracks. Into potent ‘first out’ barn, so gets local debut gaze.

5^TH RACE – (4) SUMATRA is this missive’s fourth consecutive four-hole endorsee. Barn has sent out nothing but live ‘runners’ and this is dressed-up gang.

9^TH RACE – (3) MADMAN HALL goes third off bench, showing requisite improvement in last try. Inside duo should not dissuade this one from leaving gate.

10^TH RACE – (2) DIZZY RIZZY does rid himself of hideous venues, faster foes. Slips under money ceiling to level of last win, so we gaze in his direction.

11^TH RACE – (1) J-S JESSE’S GIRL was four-eyeballed in after returning to town in this bottom class. Solid second then, no way offers same sort of value now.
