i'll take the 2

This looks like another fun race...

First, running styles:

1- Pre
2- Ear 22.4 45.2 last race before tiring to third
3- Ugly-OUT
4- Sus
5- Ear shipper from tracks I'm not familiar with - 22.3 46.5 last out and 22 45.8 in line 7
6- Ear 22.7 46.4 last race before finishing second
7- P/S
8- E/P
9- P/S
10- Ear almost held on vs 22.4 46 last out. battled thru 22.2 44.9 in line 8, but has only won with a clear lead early.
11- E/P
12- Pre

I feel this race will run ote, with #10, although the best early, probably not getting his comfort zone lead today. I'll look for an ote runner who can do well vs a 22.4 45.2 pace.

#1 moved 5-4-3 vs today's pace last out then faded to 4th. ran 3-2-2-2 vs similar in line 5.

#4 ran 6-6-4-2 in line 2 vs today's pace but what happened last time?

#12 Feels like he might be sitting in the best spot based on early positions vs similar first calls. However, comparing him to the others on the inner tracks races, his pace of race seems a little slow.

I'm down to these three. No spot play for me, but I'd favor the 12, then 1 or 4.

OK..my take...even though I gave up on NY tracks cause I cant sniff a winner here..thxs friend!!

Projected pace....from the 10...22.4.. 46.0.....times will be in tenths like its shown..I didnt use the Penn horse because of the lower class and faster track he came from...I dont know if you guys do it like this but I would like your input on how you handle it..

tandems ..How can u eliminate horses that take turns beating each other?..I will do the most obvious ones..

Eliminate: 3-7-9

1) p..ran once vs this pace..nothing......out
2) e/p.has handled this pace................in
4) s...has ran vs this pace and came in 3rd by 3 or more lts...out
5) e...has won vs this pace........in
6) e..has won vs pace...in
8) e/p...has run 2nd and 3rd vs pace....in
10) e..pacesetter...in
11) e/p ..has won vs pace..in
12) p..has placed vs pace...in

2-5-6-8-10-11-12..

I think race will be OTE cause the early horse needs open lts to win
5-6-10 out

2-8-11-12

#2 out..not the horse he used to be

8-11-12...in that order

yeah ..Pete...we have the field covered again..lol

I agree with the OTE aspect of this race. The big questions for me come from the 4 and 11. What happened last race. 4 is taking big class drop as he should off its last. 11 could be the best presser but last was a pull up. Also taking a class drop, but note this is the top APV/class horse. 2nd back was 28 days ago and gave hints of former self.

I don't see any of the rest of the EP or P types having enough punch to handle this pace. both the 4 and 11 are comfortable in mid pack. So my picks are w/p on 4 and win 11 with exacta box.

Good luck in the new year,

thxs Bill...Hows the weather?..it snowed here again...:mad:
