Arlington Park - Race #6 - Post: 3:38pm - Maiden Special - 8.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $38,000 Class Rating: 84

Rating:

#8 FINURA (ML=4/1)
#10 SUGAR SPUN (ML=7/2)

FINURA - Stay with this horse. No other viable pace gives this horse a strong chance at the winner's circle. This filly likes to be near the lead. Today's affair is a shorter distance and should help her chances. This equine has the class to win the race. A tactical ride by Moreira, and this one could bound home the winner. Have to give this magnificent animal a long look. In recent races, has posted the best Equibase speed figs on the turf at this distance. SUGAR SPUN - The May 3rd clash at Churchill Downs was at a class level of (92). Dropping to a lower class rank significantly, so she should be in a good position.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 HONEY LAKE (ML=3/1), #9 MARVELOUS MARCY (ML=6/1), #6 WIFEONTHEWARPATH (ML=8/1),

HONEY LAKE - This thoroughbred hasn't shown very much in the last pair of contests. MARVELOUS MARCY - When looking at today's class figure, she will have to register a much better speed figure than last time around the track to be competitive in this turf route. WIFEONTHEWARPATH - Mediocre speed rating last time out at Hawthorne at 6 furlongs. Don't believe this runner will improve too much in today's event.

Top Hat

GUEST COMMENTARY: The Turf Man - SUGAR SPUN - Last race turf figure for this filly is superior to the rest of these racers. You would be wise to consider gambling on this thoroughbred.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Play #8 FINURA to win if you can get odds of 7/5 or more
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [8,10]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	8 with 10 with [1,2,4] Total Cost: $3

RACE #8 - BELMONT PARK - 4:34 PM EASTERN POST

The Sheepshead Bay Stakes

11.0 FURLONGS TURF GRADE II FILLIES AND MARES THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD STAKES $200,000.00 PURSE

#1 STARFORMER
#6 STRATHNAVER
#2 JULIE'S LOVE
#8 MINAKSHI

For you folks who enjoy a little Thoroughbred Racing History to accompany your handicapping efforts this afternoon ... this race is actually not associated with the geographic area in N.Y.C. known as Sheepshead Bay .. .but ... is named after the old Brooklyn Racetrack that operated 1880-1910. Sheepshead Bay was closed down when the Hughes Ban eliminated all racing in New York in 1911 and 1912 and was never reopened. Here in the 55th renewal of this graded stakes test ...#1 STARFORMER qualifies as a TrackMaster PLUS "PowerPony," takes a class drop, and is a perfect three-for-three into "The Circle" in her career to date racing at, or about, today's distance of 11.0 furlongs on the grass, including back-to-back "POWER RUN WINS" in her 2nd and 3rd races back. Jockey Edgar Prado has been in her irons on five previous occasions, hitting the board in each, winning 4 times, en route to a +276% return on investment in the process, and is back today for his 6th ride! #6 STRATHNAVER, a British-bred entry, is 4-1 in the morning line, and comes off back-to-back "POWER RUN WINS" in her last two starts.

CLAIMING PRICE $12,500, IF FOR $10,000, ALLOWED 2 LBS. (IF DEEMED INADVISABLE BY MANAGEMENT TO RUN THIS RACE OVER THE TURF COURSE, IT WILL BE RUN ON THE MAIN TRACK AT 1 MILE

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 5 POWER OF LUST 9/2
	# 8 EULOGIZE FASHION 8/1
	# 4 BRITTANY'S TUITION 6/5

POWER OF LUST looks very strong to best this field. Vonwise has her trained solidly to break quickly out of the starting gate. This mare has a good winning percentage in turf route races. Last time out, this mare was up against a stronger field. EULOGIZE FASHION - Earned a reliable speed figure in the most recent race. Can run another good one in this race. Last time out, this mare faced a rougher crew. BRITTANY'S TUITION - Is a very strong contender based on figures garnered lately under today's conditions. Has been racing well in races of this distance, going 1 for 5 under similar conditions.

Mountaineer - Race #4 - Post: 8:15pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $9,000 Class Rating: 72

Rating:

#6 TRIBAL STRIKE (ML=8/1)
#1 SNEAKY GIRL (ML=5/2)

TRIBAL STRIKE - My experienced judgement tells me to watch out for this entrant in this event SNEAKY GIRL - Another way to identify class is earnings per race. This animal has the top in the field. I think she'll be close at the finish line.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1A A REAL JEWEL (ML=5/2), #2 UNDER THE RIM (ML=3/1), #7 DYNANNA (ML=7/2),

A REAL JEWEL - On a downward moving cycle. Equibase speed figs keep dropping. UNDER THE RIM - In this type of situation, this horse's inability to close in the last event is a matter of concern. DYNANNA - Don't believe this mount will make a winning move in today's race. That last speed figure was common when compared with today's class rating.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#6 TRIBAL STRIKE is the play if we get odds of 8/5 or better
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [1,6]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Pass
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	Skip

Race 2 - Claiming - 8.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $14000 Class Rating: 72

FOR THREE YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NEVER WON TWO RACES. THREE YEAR OLDS, 117 LBS.; OLDER, 122 LBS. NON-WINNERS OF A RACE AT A MILE OR OVER SINCE APRIL 25 ALLOWED 2 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $7,500.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 4 BARNICUS BAY 2/1
	# 5 MUSIC MAN STAN 6/1
	# 1 GELT 15/1

I favor BARNICUS BAY here. Has run strongly when racing a dirt route race. Preciado and Villanueva have won 15 percent of their races giving this racer a competitive chance. Facing a much easier field than last time out. MUSIC MAN STAN - Highly ranked earnings per start at the distance/surface in this bunch. When a handler brings any horse back this soon it is a positive signal. GELT - Is a definite contender - given the 63 speed figure from his most recent race. Has recorded formidable Equibase Speed Figures in dirt route races in the past.
