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

3RD RACE – (6) THE RUSSIAN SPY seems to have as much license in this Excelsior event as any of her rivals. Minds her manners, has familiar set of hands.   

5TH RACE – (7) EUNICE was second-best in last October’s consolation for sire stakes crowd. Returns off blowout qualifier and endorsed to overcome impost.

8TH RACE – (3) RED REIGN makes season bow off requisite improvement in second PA qualifier. Goes sans straps in second event of NYSS Goldstein Trot.   

9TH RACE – (4) JORDAN BLUE CHIP had good, two-move seasonal debut north of border (though burning coin at 3-5). Better than foes in third NYSS group.  

10TH RACE – (5) LUCKY RAINBOW ought to have more than a scant win. Another trying it in ’18 racing without hopples, gets ‘maybe’ in final NYSS event.    

11TH RACE – (4) OUR ELS DREAM N is squat-for-15 this season, but sees nothing (save for inside neighbor and eight-holer) in way. Taken to get off schneid.
