Freehold Picks for Wednesday 8/18

Hey all! My first post. I'm a big fan of Freehold racing and will make picks frequently. I especially love listening to Larry Lederer making race calls. He's accurate and funny as hell.

I will pick a top choice for each race and include underneaths for exotics at times. If you want to take a chance on playing my picks I'd suggest WPS on my top pick and include underneaths in exotics. If one of my underneath is good odds you may want to consider WPS there as well.

Just to make it interesting, I'm going to start with a mythical $100 and list the bets that I would make. Best of luck to all of you.

Wednesday August 18, 2010

Race #1

#1 My Red Hot Mama
#5 Rocknroll Leah

Joe Holloway and Erv Miller both have excellant records with 2yo's. I give the edge to Steve Smith from the rail.

$2 win #1
$2 Ex Box 1-5
$2 Double 1-5/5-7

Race #2

#5 Touch Me
#7 Vigneron

The big question is whether either of these colts can navigate a half mile track. If so, Touch Me should jog. Vigneron gets the call because the Ingrassia outfit is known for doing well with young trotters.

$5 win #5
$2 Ex Box 5-7

Race #3

#1 Bella La Stella

Trond always has good ones and when he wants a win he puts someone else up to drive.

$5 win #1

Race #4

#1 PJF
#6 Gamblers Delight

Allie Reynolds usually has hers ready after layoffs winning 22% of the time. PJF loves Freehold 1st, 2nd or 3rd 57% of the time in 65 starts. Gamblers Delight is also coming off layoff and showed speedy yet unimpressive qualifier at the BigM. He's accostumed to bad post positions and fits well here.

$20 win #1
$2 Ex Box 1-6

Race #5

#1 First Class Princess
#2 Win Doctor

Same story different race, trond puts up driver to win. Win Doctor looks the best off last but I'll take my chances.

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

Race #6

#2 Pigrims Truffles
#8 Born To Love
#1 Don't Cry Lindy

Pilgrims Truffles went a huge mile from the 10 hole last out. Born to Love comes from a barn that wins 20% of the time with first time starters. Consider Don't Cry Lindy my sentimental choice.

$2 Ex Box 2-8-1

Race #7

#4 Ariane Hanover
#2 Jimmy The Terror

Ariane Hanover may be tailing off but there's not much to beat here. Same is true with Jimmy the Terror, easy to see these two 5 lengths ahead of the rest of the field.

$2 Ex Box 4-2

Race #8

#5 Tight Pants
#1 Caitor

Tough race with competitve 2yo's. I'll take what should be decent odds on Nifty Normans horse.

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

Race #9

#5 Rock Annie Roll
#6 Gordy's Filly Yenta

These two raced against much better than this field.

$5 Ex Box 5-6
$2 DD 5-6/5

Race #10

#5 Jessie The Cowgirl

Jessie the Cowgirl was very competitve with this group prior to layoff. Trainer shows decent win percentage of layoff 14%.

$5 Win #5

Total bets $100.

Good Luck All!
