Freehold Picks for Friday 8/20

So sorry I missed posting for Thursdays card but other matters were pressing. We did fair on Wednesdays selections with 4 winners. On the mythical $100 bets we returned $72.80. I would probably do better to ignore exotics and bet to win, you might too, but it's fun to take a chance for decent payouts. On to Fridays selections.

Friday August 18, 2010

Race #1

#6 The Stewardess A
#4 Princess Julia

I'm throwing out the last on top choice because I don't know the driver. Prior to that she has had either bad trips, bad posts or interference. I think Andy get's her there. Princess Julia appears to be the one to beat but she's rather a recent phenom. 0 wins in 20 starts last year.

$10 Win #6
$2 Ex Box 6-4
$2 DD 6-4/1-5-4

Race #2

#1 Aries Angel
#5 Catapult
#4 Mojarra Hanover

Aries Angel shows one bad line where she was parked the entire mile. Catapult and Mojarra Hanover both raced well off tough trips in last.

$10 Win #1

Race #3

#4 Dreamanda
#1 Rules Little Man

I'm not high on her but she is fresh and has raced well at this track before. Rules Little Man gets edge with the rail but I'm counting on class to overcome.

$2 Win #4
$2 Ex Box 4-1

Race #4

#3 Flex The Muscle
#2A Dolce Ducci

Flex The Muscle gets David Miller, the rail, and has beaten 7 of the other 9 horses in the race. Dolce Ducci is one that he hasn't beaten and appears to be a talented colt if he stays trotting. And if you are wondering Peace Bridge is the other colt never beaten by Flex. He shouldn't be discounted.

$5 Win #3

Race #5

#8 Twin B Tiarra

She's really the only speed in the race and should dictate. Much the class here as well.

$20 Win #8

Race #6

#6 Religulous
#2 Celebrity Faith

I'll just enjoy watching these fine trotters. I do think Religulous is coming into his own.

Race #7

#2 Ready To Rocknroll
#3 L Dees Rainbow

I'm not sure how Cat Manzi manages to get parked going to the first quarter from the rail but this is the second time I've seen that with his horses in two days. I was tempted to put L Dees on top. I'll just box the exacta.

$2 Ex Box 2-3

Race #8

#7 Shoeless White Sox
#6 Victors Vicky

These assigned post position races are usually pretty realistic about the best horses. If you want a live longshot consider #2 SF Aceinthehole.

$2 Ex Box 7-6

Race #9

#4 I'm Betting On You

I'm Betting On You has been rested and is being brought back by a trainer with 14% win record off layoff. Not to mention the mare is 50% 1st or 2nd out of 8 tries on this track. The clear favorite will be #2 Orphan Annie, as she should be, but without a line on a half mile track I'll pass.

$10 Win #4

Race #10

#4 Move It Move It
#2 Commander Cole

Both choices appear to be the class of the field, they both race well at Freehold, and #4 Gets David Miller.

$5 Win #4
$2 Ex Box 4-2

Race #11

#1 Jkmusicofthenite
#7 Roca Rockette

#1 Appears to be much the best here. The only reason I list #7 is perhaps Abbatiello has figured this guy out. He's moving up, but why?

$5 Win #1
$2 DD 1-7/1-2

Race #12

#1 Fancy Pants Sandy

#2 Western Sweettreat

Though Fancy Pants win wasn't impressive last out I suspect he needed the race off layoff. He'll do better here. Western Sweetreet seems to have the class to beat the rest.

$5 Win #1
$2 Ex Box 1-2

Okay, mythical bets total $116. Good Luck!
