Iowa Oaks & Derby - LS late PK 4 Fri +318

[Bogey]

The start of the 3rd week and the account is up 381 units. Let's take a look at the Iowa Oaks, Iowa Derby, and Lone Star's late pick 4 for Fri night.

Prairie Meadows - Race 7 - Iowa Oaks (G3)
#3 Brownie Points - Very consistent filly looks to run them down from behind.
#4 Maggie Slew - 2 for 2 for the bug boy Leparoux and you've got to pull for the daughter of Slew. She's one of two runners left sired by the great Champion Seattle Slew. Only concern is she didn't care for the stretchout last fall at KEE. Move her to the top spot if the track comes on the moist side.

Prairie Meadows - Race 8 - Iowa Derby
#7 Circle the World - Lightly raced son of Fu Peg has an enormous amount of talent and could make some serious noise in the 2nd half of the year.
#2 More Than Regal - Asmussen has found a good spot for him. His last 6 races have come at 6 different tracks..This will be Lucky 7?
#4 Spotgone - Last two have been big and won the prep race last out on this surface.
#3 Blazing Sunset - Will be an underlay because of the strong Cali connections and this is not a speed favoring strip like in LA LA LAND.

Play - 1 Tri Key 7 over 2 3 4 and play the 7 for 2nd with the 2 3 4 = 12 units

The pick 4 last week at LS got our weekend going in the right direction, so let's continue the trend.

Lone Star Park - Late Pick 4
Race 7 - #1 Total Command - His two turf tries have been solid.
#3 Disengage - Steps up in class, but the 5yr Grey Gelding is in good form.
#4 Smoken Smoke - Makes important 3rd start off a layoff for Pish.

Race 8 - #4 Hey Skootch - By Victory Gallop, so he should enjoy the extra ground.
#6 Instant Messenger - The drop will help his cause.
#7 Sing Baby Sing - Obvious contender taking a step down versus these.

Race 9 - #1 Tale of Freedom - Solid turf record and is 2 for 2 on the LS lawn.
#5 Candy Ball - Leggio doesn't ship to Texas for the Bar-B-Q.

Race 10 - #3 Tuff Lula - The switch back to face state breds might do the trick.
#8 Fast Moment - His last three under Murphy makes him a major player here.
#10 La Noche Unica - Draw a line through her last and she fits well here.

Play - .50cent pick 4 - 1 3 4 with 4 6 7 with 1 5 with 3 8 10 = 27 units for a .50cent play

After the two plays the account stands at plus 279

Good Racing Luck
