Race 1 ————————-
Trifecta: 1-8 / 1-2-3-8 / 1-2-3-8
This is a race where the numbers don’t help you out too much, but one thing to bank on is the #8 Lady Lez’s huge class drop into this.

It will be fun to see how this plays out as you have plenty of contenders who have ran at Churchill and Tampa- and you gotta love those kinds of horses when they suddenly show up at River… except for when you have like 5 of them in the same race- let alone a maiden special. The #5 Restore the Roar has his best two speed figures when the distance is over a mile, so this may suit him well tomorrow. And where did that 54 figure come from on the #6 Indurain’s most recent race? Speaking of that race, take a look at who was riding him and will be tomorrow as well- none other than Mr. Perry Ouzts.

$1 Trifecta: 1-8 / 1-6-7-8 / 1-3-6-7-8
At the beginning of “running my numbers” for this race, the #2 Check Bouncer was one of my top key horses, however that was until I realized that he is atrocious at this distance (and the same for the #10 A Rizzi Rueben) so if one of those finish, I’ll throw on the dunce cap. Other than that I had a hard time with this race… I mean you could be absolutely fine just betting chalk but I certainly think there will be plenty of other potential runners. I love the #8 Total Return and with a morning line of 12-1, I really hope he can pull it off despite what is previous finishes say. The #7 Kentucky Swagger layoff is frightening and his recent trains haven’t been spectacular either. With that said, this is River Downs and he still outclasses plenty of other horses in this field.

Wide open.

Race 6 ————————-
Trifecta: 5-11 / 3-7-5-11 / 3-7-5-11
#5 Archie B - has plenty of finishes at Churchill and for similar stakes… and we all know how much you should love strong CD horses coming to River. If the #11 Gold Commander One is scratched, fill in the #7 in his spot.

Race 7 ————————-
$1 Trifecta: 1-6 / 1-3-5-6-7 / 1-3-5-6-7
If anything I would stay out of this race entirely as I expect there to be no value. I could easily see #5 Big Charlie have a Big Race. Important to notice the #4 Elmont’s HUGE jumps from his previous three races. You have to believe trainer, Michael A Tammaro certainly sees something with this horse to bring it straight out of maiden’s and into this one. So if you want to splash around, by all means use the #4 & #5

Race 8 ————————-

#2 Atlanta City

Race 3 ————————-
1-4 / 1-2-4 / All

Race 5 ————————-
I find it interesting that #2 Cinnamon Kid has done nothing but improve since being trained by Nocero Rinzy the last three outings. #3 E’ Carte’ has been with tougher competition in the past (more specifically the last two times running at Churchill) and I can easily see him winning. I’m also liking #6 Lababa in this race. I’d use those three horses and the #4 in exotics.

Race 7 —————————
7-1-2 / 7-1-2 / ALL

The only horses that scare me here are the #9 — #10 and even the #8 who is all over the place.  I know, I know, I sound really confused about this one, huh?  But to be honest, this would be so much easier to sort out (mostly referring to the third place spot) once I was actually at the track and saw what everyone was going off at.  Either way, best of luck and I hope everyone does well!!
