RACES 4-7

RACE 4

 

Ten contestants raced at RD and four of the ten won. Two other entries won dirt routes at other distances:  Sir Lucas and Updraft. This is a match race among fire entries, with Dazzle the Command placing at RD last time out and defeating the others.

 

Acero   he will enjoy the Carmona weight allowance, which conserves energy, he hit the board in two of four routes, winning one at 170, looks best in this jejune field

Updraft   he hit the board in four of six recent routes, winning once at 1 1/16 miles, the rider knows him well

Devilinthebluegrass   he does not likes the rail a lot; he hit the board in his last three routes, the seasoned Frey rides

 

RACE 5

 

Five raced at RD and three hit the board: G’oro, Hello Kid O Kid O and Less is More.  We the Hobby has hit the board at 9f on the turf. This is a match race among Hello Kid O Kid O, Less is More and  We the Hobby, she placed, nearly won, last time out at nine furlongs. Four entries are unrested.

 

Hello Kid O Kid O    she finished a neck behind We the Hobby last time out, at 9f, but she hit the board in both trips at RD, both successes coming with Franco aboard, Barocio likes MSW level

We the Hobby   she had a less than ideal trip at RD here last January, Fresu knows her well

Less Is More  she hit the board in both turf trips at RD and turf expert Rispoli rides

 

 

RACE 6

 

Eight raced at RD and four entries won at RD. Smile Baby Smile won on dirt at 170.

 

Sweet Hello   the mare won a heady five of seventeen trips at RD, and placed in three more, he won two of his last three routes with HOF’er Desormeaux atop, Hess likes allowance level

Ultimate Hy   Vallejo kills the turf-to-dirt transition as here, and the mare hit the board in her last two dirt routes, Vallejo/Pereira $$$$ here

Smile Baby Smile   she hit the board in six of her last seven dirt routes, and won one at 170 as notes, Mathis kills the dirt route and Mathis/Aguilar $$$$$ here

 

 

RACE 7

 

Seven raced at RD and five of them “won” (Ms Brightside was DQ’d in her win). No other entry has won a turf route.

 

Word Play (AE)   she hit the board in all four trips at RD, he looms large if he makes the cut, Rispoli may not ride (see Ms. Brightside)

Ms Brightside    (IRE- County Clare)   she hit the board in four of eight recent routes, three times with Rispoli in the irons, including a win at RD last January, she turns back a furlong

Princess Snow   The Inimitable Mike Smith rides; he knows her well, and she won one of two trips at RD on turf, she is lightly raced and well-rested

 

If Word Play does not make the cut my third pick is:

Upcharge    she hit the board in half of her grass routes, winning one at RD here last fall, Gonzalez produced that success

NOTE: Announcement Re: Kentucky Derby Weekend

Saturday May 3 is of course The Kentucky Derby. This causes Cal Win to make two important announcements as follows:

 

Sunday May 4 will be the only day that Cal Win handicaps Santa Anita. Each subscriber as of May 5 will be granted a two- race- day extension to his/her subscription.

As to Churchill Downs:

Cal Win will be handicapping Friday May 2, regular (three-horse  analysis only).

Cal Win will be exhaustively handicapping the Kentucky Derby (grading all participants) on May 3, and will provide a three horse per race graded handicap of the five races prior to the Kentucky Derby on May 3.

This will permit Cal Win to focus on the Derby, traditionally a race that  provides trifecta wins in the thousands, and the excellent Churchill Downs card on the 2nd of May.

THE COST FOR THE CHURCHILL PACKAGE AS AFORESAID IS $ 30.

Keep in mind other less accurate handicappers are charging significantly more (Twin Spires, $50, for example).

Thank you for reading this!
