Fairgrounds Money Plays


Race 1: Betterwithbourbon drops in class..will take the money..start of the day on a chalkie note...I'm A Diva..price play..blinkers added..could take them all the way.. Titanium Girl improve last out at this level..may have found the sweet spot.


Race 2: Tale of Beaucette was well beaten by Tiznow RJ two back..cuts back for this try and will be ready to graduate. Apocalypse finished fourth in debut..couple of works since debut..Graham Sticks. Harvey is a son of Curlin..gets lasix for first try.. Calhoun is just lethal..wouldn't surprise.


Race 3: Fateel finished third last out against similar..had some issues in last effort..could be coming with clean guidance. Gandono is a son of Lemon Drop Kid..gets lasix..will love the lawn and distance and will be traveling. Time Catcher should improve from first start.


Race 4: Bet Seattle ran a terrific race last out as the fave and should be ready to take down Delaunay who will be tough over the Fairgrounds' strip. Too Dim finished just behind Bet Seattle last out and will be there again.


Race 5: I am taking shot with Kite who has improved since switching barns and moving to Fairgrounds' turf. Peej's only win came with Bridgmohan aboard and they reunite...could it feel so good? Scrumpdilicious consistent last four and runs well on Fairground lawn.


Race 6: Tapalite deserves another chance against this group and if the price is right gallop to the window. Lunar Gaze is working like a good thing..lasix for debut. Candy Cate could be sugar and spice and everything nice if ready...last three works were stellar...lasix..they mean business.


Race 7:  Eden Prairie was beaten a length last out by Notte D' Oro who will probably be the post time fave. Notte D' Oro hasn't done anything wrong of late..sharp horse that will continue on the upswing. Compelling Case may make a compelling statement when the running starts..good body of work.


Race 8: This isn't the strongest handicap field I have seen, so I am taking a shot with Majestic Harbor. He has burned money since the Gold Cup win but this is a class relief for him. He has changed barns and "Big Money Mike" will try to make him sing a different tune. Hard Aces is a competitor and will be produced in the stretch. Fordubai and Red Rifle are fighters whose names will be called by Dooley when the fighting starts in the lane.


Race 9: Glenard is debuting for the Graham Motion barn..the foreign invader has been working well since given immigration papers and Motion will apply lasix for first start. Skyring is a horse I loved in last start but didn't get a good ride..could take them all the way. Highball will be there for a piece and I am sucker for Lemon Drop Kid family members on the grass going a distance of ground.


Race 10: I expect the real West Coast Belle to standup in this spot. She disappeared like a woman scorned last out but has been working well and should be produced by Bridgmohan in the lane with second start over the Fairground track. Shook Up will give much better account of herself. Broke maiden like royalty and will be tough. Lovely Maria is a beast of a filly.. when will the Majesticperfection blood riase its ugly head? I'm A Chatterbox Silverbulletday win was impressive but I am still not convinced..will need a duplicate effort to convince me...Munnings on top side..we will see.


Race 11: Imperia had a good effort on dirt back in November..this isn't a very strong field contesting Risen Star.. trainer is deadly and could have a nice double with this charge and Gulfstream runner in Fountain Of Youth..Mike Smith aboard....working lovely. International Star won sweetly last out .. he was strong in the lane and will only get better the longer they go. War Story is becoming a little engine that could ..tough son of a gun but maybe a notch below. Bluff won on third try very easily..will be coming at the end to get a piece.


Race 12: Getcha Mind Rite is taking a drop in class and could get his mind right on running at this level. Wild Tchoupitoulas is being offered on the auction block.. will be short price fave. Shaniko's Secret is getting the bug boy..will be ready for fourth try.
