Whitey Plays  for April 9^th

Locks

Race 5 – Hawthorne

#8 Royally Outfoxed  5-1 – Has so many great angles going in this race. One, he is the only speed in the race. Two, he is dropping in class from 10 k down to 5K. Three, he has the best pace and speed figures in the field.  And lastly, he likes Hawthorne with 7 of 11 in the money. Only issue is the zero for 10 trainer. Maybe he wants one bad today. Load up.

$50 to Win 8

Play in exacta with 3 and 7.

Race #3 – Santa Anita

#2 Tanda 4-1 – I’m so confident in this horse I didn’t even handicap the other horses. He is coming off a layoff but Louie’s confidence is sky high in this classy classy animal.

Value Plays

Race 11 – Aqueduct

#6 – RJ Hope 8-1 – Last two on turf were over softer turf and he likes it firm. Has to content with the 1 horse who looks like monster.

$20 to win 6

Race 11 – Gulfstream

#9 Mark’s Soul – 8-1 – Going on more on a hunch here…it’s the Louie bad field first starter horse who has decent turf breeding angle. He doesn’t have to be much of a horse to beat these guys.

$20 to win 9

Race 11 – Tampa

#4 Macho Toro – 5-1 – Likes Tampa and he should get nice set up

$15 to win 4

Race 12 Tampa

#8 Fortissi More –  8-1 – Here is a horse actually jumping up in class but it is actually a class drop. He is going from open 16k claimers to NW3L 32K. Its actually a drop in class because the horses at 16K open are tough ones. Horses with 8 – 10 – 15 wins on the turf. And Now he gets to meet horse who never won 3. He was competitive against allowance types at Aqueduct last year. Play in exacta with the 6 horse – time for Tutt

$20 Win and Place 8

Race 9 Keeneland –

#3 Wyomia 8-1 – Only speed horse in the race won a Stakes at Woodbine as a 2 yo.  Seems well spotted today in a field lacking speed. If Keenland plays fair today and doesn’t favor closers he has a big chance to steal it on the lead.

$20 to win and Place 3

#5 – Prospective Union – 10-1 Shipper from fairgrounds is taking a hidden class drop and is only speed in the race
