Fair Grounds Recap – Nov 7th
No bias surprises on day two. Early-pressing speed strong in sprints. Turf course favored stalkers and closers.
Day two belonged to Shane Sellers and Steve Asmussen. They teamed up for a hat trick and won the Pontalba with Right To Rule.
The other juvenile stakes race on the card was the Old Hickory, and Comedero lead the field on a merry chase after the defection of Western Smoke.
Got three tops home on Saturday. Had a bit of a frustrating day as I finished 2-3 in a pair of my turf best bets.
Fair Grounds Preview – Nov 8th
A 10-race program will be run at the Fair Grounds on Sunday, and a pair of turf sprints and an allowance turf route are on tap. The skies are expected to be mostly cloudy with highs in the 70’s.
Belend is favored to capture the first turf sprint for Tom Amoss, and Turtle Creek Babe is the one to down in the 9th. The often troubled Say The Word is the fav in the turf route.
My daily full cards from Fair Grounds are available through Today’s Racing Digest, and I will be posting a daily free pick on their site as well. Click here to view my Sunday free selection from Fair Grounds.
