12/5: Delta Downs (Stakes P4)
Took until late in the 4th quarter for me to find the end zone, but the Hollywood nightcap closed out the day wonderfully. "Best Value" Swiss Blonde anchored the $715 P4 score and all the available exotics ($57 EXA; $228 TRI; $623 SPR; $2,140 Hi-5). It was a welcome conclusion to whjat was becoming a frustrating afternoon after multiple near misses at Aqueduct and Fair Grounds. Hope you did well! Delta Downs offers a fun night of stakes action on the 'sabine sand' later today...

Steve - on the Jackpot. I agree with TM, WSB, and even TPH at a nice price with Albarado on his back. Just not sure about Big Drama with Coa. I think BD is his first mount of the night and that is a quirky track. I'd be more inclined to go with Terrain and Jaime Theriot. Plus he's coming out of 2 straight G1's.

I think that after Trinity Magic, there's about 4 of them.. I sided with Big Drama over Terrain, (whom I've defended as nice since the Chicago clusterphuck), on price and on Fawkes. He is not a guy who ships to obscure spots, and if Big Drama and Three Part Harmony get over the Calder surface, they'll get over the unusual footing at Delta. I'm more concerned that I don't have the pace scenario correct here. If it collapses, Terrain, Bernie and the Casse colts move up, and if they don't go too, too fast early it stays in the hands of Trinty, Drama and Harmony. Bernie is the swing horse to me in either pace scenario based on the early ship-in and the way he got over the track. I'm not a Kelly Breen fan, but this is a very nice horse. G/L tonight.. Fun series..

I agree that Trinity Magic looks like a big standout. . . Not sure there's any chance for 8-1, though. . .

Two horses that should be decent prices caught my eye in the PK4 sequence.
In the 5th, I was a bit intrigued by No Advantage. He has done basically no running in his last two tries at Oak Tree and Hollywood, but he's back on dirt now and the recent workout makes you think O'Neill sent him out with blinkers for the drill. He has very little speed around him, so the instructions with P. Val may be to run n' gun. In the 7th, #1 SONG PRODUCTION is coming off a huge win where she fought tooth and nail and dispatched her rivals late. She earned a big time Beyer figure in there and the Spencer/Simington combo is always dangerous as Spencer is Simington's father-in-law. Their record at DeD over the last two years is outstanding and Spencer is particularly good with horses off any type of freshening and even better with horses coming off of victories. Good luck tonight! NT

Thought she received a tentative ride by Saez who then translated what he learned there into a much better voyage on My Heavenly Sign in the next stake. I'm kicking myself for not builsing a better P4 play last night...
