Thursday February 3 Picks

Thursday February 3

Another sub par Thursday card. I say take Thursdays purse money, god knows where it's coming from, and put it into Friday and Saturdays. More races, and higher purses. Anyway, I only have the program lines for the three survival challenge races. Other picks usually come from horses I remember or have seen recently and I don't remember most in the box tonight. Sorry for the lackluster picks tonight. Better coming tomorrow and Saturday with the weekend preview having more program pages and better horses racing.

Start = +$1,000.50

Race 1

Race 2

Race 3
1) Chaplin Hall - I recall liking this one last week and picking him for the chellenge. I do not have the program lines for this race but gets the rail and it's the Burke barn. They'll get this one rolling. Tonight might be the night.

3) L F Topaz - A shocker a few starts back and I feel one of these days he'll find the winners circle again.

4) Lukas Rossi - Jumping out at me for some reason? Drops.

5) Autumn Victory - First start back was not bad at all. Improvement coming?

7) Smooth Muscles - Pretty sharp of late and beat similar several weeks ago.

1-5-3-7

$2 Tri 1/5 w 1/3/5 w 1/3/4/5/7 = $24
$10 Win 1 = $10

Race 4
A lot of these horses have been off for quite sometime. I didn't see any of the qualifiers which makes it even more difficult. Could be some nice prices this race.

3) Truly The Best - Shows wins both on and off the pace which I like to see. 3-3 career and experience on a mile track (Balmoral). However, the qualifiers don't look "great" on paper.

7) Quality Sport - Another who has experience on the mile track. Also sports two wins in some 2YO stakes races at Balmoral.

8) Mcsocks - Probably one of the fresher horses in this group. Has one win this year going first over but his last was abit of a disappointment from the same post?

11) Joe Palz - Another of the fresher horses. 1-1 this year with Meadowlands experience. Seems ilke most of his better efforts were rail riders and good trips. Will the journey be smooth in an 11 horse field, I'm not so sure.

3-7-11-8

$4 Tri 3/7 w 3/7/11 w 3/7/8/11 = $32

Race 5

Race 6

Race 7

Race 8
8) Lil Miss Nyalation - Hard not to like this one on paper. Pena and Sears and lots of strong finishes of late. Only knock is post maybe? and shows no Meadowlands races on the program.

9) Natural Woman N - I think this one did somen ice work last year on the half milers (Freehold and Yonkers). Not sure she's mile track kind of horse but does sport a win from the 10 hole here back on 12/3. This is also a step up.

8-9-5

Race 9
5) Morguns Sweetheart - Took a stab at this one in her last start and she didn't show much. Steps down a tad and outclasses these. Does the class who up this time!? Picks up Sears.
