BetPTC.com Analysis / #7 – Armour / #8 – Averly Jane / #6 – Twilight Gleaming

#7 Armour is a son of No Nay Never and will come calling when the real running begins. He has a wicked late turn of foot and facing some of the best sprinters in Europe. He hails from the Richard Hannon yard, and has the services of ultra talented Ryan Moore. #8 Averly Jane will be the pacesetter and can be dangerous if left alone as she seeks her fifth straight win for Wesley Ward and Tyler Gaffalione. She exits off a win in a key prep for the race and can turn out the lights if not pressed. #6 Twilight Gleaming goes post ward Wesley Ward and can get perfect trip with stablemate Averly Jane setting strong fractions for her to close into. Strong closing rider Irad Ortiz in the irons and he wins 22% with late running turf closers.

Race #7 – The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies – 1 1/16 – 6:30 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #6 – Echo Zulu / #4 – Tarabi / #3 – Sequist

#6 Echo Zulu should be right on the front and work out a pressing trip whoever the joins the pace. Steve Asmussen is the conditioner and Joel Rosario in the saddle. 3rd off the layoff for this daughter of Gun Runner who is regally bred and a perfect 3 for 3 lifetime.  Price will be short and may be free spot in multi race wagers. #4 Tarabi is a late runner and had an eventful trip last out colliding with the gate. She goes to the track for Cherie DeVaux and Javier Castellano. She sports some sharp works after her rough trip last out.  #3 Sequist is a deep closing daughter of Nyquist for Dallas Stewart and Junior Alvarado. 3rd off the layoff for a barn who springs upsets with runners on the marquee days.

Race #8 – The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf – 1 mile on the turf – 7:10 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #1 – Pizza Blanca / #4 – Turnerloose / #14 – California Angel

#1 Pizza Blanca comes off a 47 day break from the races as Christophe Clement looks for the winner’s circle with Jose Ortiz in the saddle. She exits the G1 Natalma at Woodbine which has served as a strong prep. The barn wins 24% with babies and Ortiz wins 18% with turf closers. Plenty of pace to set her up as they turn for home. #4 Turnerloose should be the main speed as she set the fractions in the G2  Jessamine and managed to hang on for the show dough. She is a daughter of Nyquist for Brad Cox and Florent Geroux in the saddle. 3rd time off the layoff and the barn wins 34% with beaten favorites as she exits Keeneland and cuts back in distance. #14 California Angel is a daughter of California Chrome for trainer George Leonard III and retains Rafael Bejarano in the driver’s seat. This is your sentimental longshot as the backside is really rooting for this gal as she was a $5,500 purchase. But, all that aside she came rolling in the G2 Jessamine circling eight wide getting up in the shadow of the wire.

Race #9 – The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile – 1 1/16 – 7:50 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #1 – Jack Christopher / #12 – Corniche / #9 – Pinehurst

#1 Jack Christopher [SCRATCHED] exits off a win in the G1 Champagne which has served as a key prep for this race. Jose Ortiz aboard for Chad Brown and they win 29% as a team. He looks to be able to secure a ground saving position and move at the right time. They have a bullet work under his belt and ship in from Belmont where Brown wins 28% going to new surroundings. #12 Corniche goes to post for Bob Baffert and Mike Smith. The outside post will only have Smith sending and securing position while trying to save some ground. This son of Quality Road is 2 for 2 lifetime and won impressively in the G1 American Pharaoh at Santa Anita. Look for a stalking move and trying to takeover under the professional hands of Smith down the backstretch. #9 Pinehurst appears to be the rabbit for Baffert’s  Corniche, but may have more up his sleeve. He is 2 for 2 lifetime and gets added distance which should have him running easy on the lead for Bob Baffert and John Velasquez in the irons. Baffert wins 35% with babies and has a sharp work coming into the race. Johnny V wins 22% with early speed types.

Race #10 – The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf – 1 mile on the turf – 8:30 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #2 – Albahr / #1 – Modern Games / #10 – Portfolio Company

#2 Albahr hails from the Charlie Appleby yard with Frankie Dettori in the saddle. Exits the G1 Summer at Woodbine as a key prep for this race, and Mr. Applebee wins 80% with his babies. He hopped at the start and still mowed them down in the stretch under Dettori circling the field in the Goldolphin colors. His dam Falls of Lora (IRE) has 4 starters, 4 winners, 4 turf winners to her credit. Dettori staying aboard seals the deal. Europeans have dominated this race in the past. #1 Modern Game also conditioned by Charlie Appleby with William Buick in the irons. He is 4 for 5 ITM lifetime and gets added ground today. He should be a bit closer to the pace and being on the hedge allows Buick to save plenty of ground for a well timed move. #10 Portfolio Company is a well timed stalker with Flavien Prat for Chad Brown. 3rd off the layoff and exits the G2 Pilgrim which has served as a prep in the past. Prat is winning 26% on the turf and 29% with Chad Brown. Don’t leave off your tickets.

#7 Thedayofthegrey is a son of Twinspired for Bobby Cline with Sonny Leon in the saddle. He has three wins from four starts and the other effort was a third. He will be forwardly placed and Leon is an excellent reinsman who can get him to settle in and relax on the lead. His style should enjoy a soft going.  #1 Tantrum hails from the Winblaze LLC team for trainer Tim Hamm. This runner has solid late kick under Malcolm Franklin and has finished 2nd to Dayofthegrey in the past. Rider and trainer win 29% as a team and should enjoy the added ground to get rolling over the deep surface.

#1 Christmas is a two year old daughter of Constitution and a perfect 2 for 2 lifetime. Tim Hamm the conditioner with Gerardo Corrales in the saddle. She gets first time Lasix and should be right on the pace coming off a three month layoff win in the Tah Dah Stakes at Belterra. She owns a sharp work over a muddy surface and should fit into the race well with rain predicted in the forecast.  #9 Candlelight Hours ships in from an effort at Presque Isle off the synthetic. Returns to the dirt for James Jackson and the triumphant return of T.D. Houghton off a bad injury last year. He’s already notched a win and ready to keep his tally rolling. A perfect stalker who should get the garden trip under Houghton moving on the far turn. #11 Flatter hails from the Thom Amoss barn with Edgar Morales aboard. She always knocks on the door and looks to lay just off the lead and seek the perfect trip.

Race#9 – The $100,000 Sprint – 6f – 4:14 pm

The barn wins 31% with non graded stakes and sports a sharp work leading into the race. If it comes up a bit soft; no problems as he is 7 for 9 ITM on off tracks. #7 Morestride goes post ward for Mike Rone and Luis Rivera. He is 3 for 3 ITM at Mahoning and has been racing outside of Ohio company. Today he returns and the barn comes back to score 38% off a beaten chalk angle their last effort. #1 Chief Randel draws the rail spot and has a win in last year’s edition of the this race. Blinkers back today and is 4 for 8 ITM over the course. He relishes softer surfaces going 4 for 5 ITM. Player in the outcome today at a solid price.

Race#10 – The $100,000 Endurance – 1 1/4 – 4:47 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #7 – Forewarned / #13 – Wicked Warrior / #9 – Mo Don’t No

#7 Forewarned is a late runner for Uriah St. Lewis and Sonny Leon. They step back into Ohio company after running in graded company outside of the Ohio circuit. He is 4 for 4 ITM at Mahoning and will enjoy the distance and softer track. Look for a good late kick turning for home as Leon wins 20% with route runners. #13 Wicked Warrior is a stalker for Team Feliciano, and returns to face Ohio company again. His only knock in the #13 post, but has the class to break sharply and move over to save precious ground. He ran 2nd last year to Forewarned  in the same predicted conditions as he prepares to turn the tables this year. #9 Mo Don’t No appears to be sitting on a big race at a square price. He’s a tactical runner who’ll be behind the leaders poised to pounce coming off a solid work for trainer Gary Johnson and Alexander Chavez. He goes from a sprint to a route, and is 8 for 8 ITM going long. This son of Uncle Mo loves the track and especially if the sky opens up. Don’t dismiss at 15-1 on the morning line.

Race#8 – The G3 Greenwood Cup – 1 1/2 – 3:20 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #3 – Moretti / #2 – Math Wizard / #1 – Forewarned

#3 Moretti is an up close speed style runner for Todd Pletcher and Luis Saez. He exits the G1 Sword dancer and makes the turf to dirt switch today. He drops in class and Saez should have him just off the leader’s flank ready to move. Saez wins 28% teaming up with the Todd Squad and the distance should be no problem for this son of Medaglia D’ Oro. #2 Math Wizard hails from the Saffie Joseph barn with Ricardo Santana in for the call. He’s a stone cold closer who is 1 for 1 at Parx. Here has plenty of races facing tougher and should fit better in here today. He had a perfect prep last out making his first start of 2021 and has been off 50 days since. I’m looking at the start of a fall racing campaign. #1 Forewarned goes to post for Uriah St. Lewis, and exits the G1 Jockey Gold Cup where he was over his head. Two races back he made a solid late run in Cleveland and has the services of Alexander Crispin.

BetPTC.com Analysis / #8 – Caravel / #1 – Beer Can Man / #4 – Carotari

BetPTC.com Analysis / #7 – Jackie’s Warrior / #6 – Beren / #4 Pickin’ Time

#7 Jackie’s Warrior has Joel Rosario in the saddle for Steve Asmussen. They are making a third off the layoff move and can grab the lead or lay just off. Rosario is the regular rider and fits like a glove looking to make it three straight wins. A talented colt who looks ready for a prime effort coming off two bullet works. #6 Beren hails from the Robert Reid barn with Frankie Pennington in the irons. A local runner who can stalk just off the pace. He is 6 for 8 ITM at Parx and his home field advantage can be a plus in these races. #4 Pickin’ Time is closer for the Kelly Breen barn with Luis Saez in the driver’s seat. 3rd effort off the shelf and turns back in distance today. Saez aboard makes him dangerous anywhere he runs. Add in the sharp work under his belt and you have a runner who cannot be tossed out of exotic wagers.

Race#11 – The G1 Cotillion – 1 1/16 – 5:02 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #6 – Clairiere / #5 – Army Wife / #2 – Allworthy

#6 Clairiere looks double tough for trainer Steve Asmussen and his go to rider Ricardo Santana. She exits the G1 Alabam off a stalking trip that day and looks to have the same game plan today with the exception of going to the winner’s circle. Santana back aboard is a good sign, and when he rode this gal last it was 2020 at CD where he looked the perfect fit. #5 Army Wife is the closer type for the Mike Maker barn with Joel Rosario aboard. She always makes a late run and looks to keep knocking heads with some familiar runners in this race. 2nd off the layoff coming in fresh and ready. #2 Allworthy is a stalker from the Saffie Joseph barn with Florent Geroux in the irons. She is 5 for 6 ITM lifetime and always gives a good account of herself. Geroux aboard is a plus as he rises to the occasion in big money races.

This son of Tiznow just got beat in the shadow of the wire in the G1 Travers and looks ready for a top effort. #3 Speaker’s Corner is a lightly raced late runner from the Bill Mott barn with Jose Ortiz in the saddle. His 2nd start of 2021 looking to get his fall campaign kicked off today. He moves up in class, and Mott only sends them when they are ready for a top effort. The price is enticing in exotic wagers.

#2 Princess Grace makes her 3rd off the layoff bid for Michael Stidham and exits a win in the G2 Yellow Ribbon. She is looking to make it four in a row under Florent Geoux and this daughter of Karakontie (JPN)  is tough to knock. She does very little wrong and should be mid flight ready to pounce turn into the long stretch. #3 Abscond is a daughter of Blame for Eddie Kenneally with Flavien Prat in the saddle. She comes in off a 49 day break from Woodbine and should be fresh and ready to stalk the pace. Prat wins 28% with stalkers on the turf and she has plenty of back class to have her ready to fire fresh. #6 Shifty Sea hails from the barn of Saffie Joseph and sports good early speed.

Rider and trainer score 31% as a team the past 60 days. #4 Tide of the Sea comes to post for Mike Maker and has good early speed.

Race #6 – The $100k – I’m Smokin – 6f – 7:00 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #5 – Rock N Rye / #7 – Thirsty Always / #1 – Zuboshi

#5 Rock N Rye is a son of Stay Thirsty and hails from the Walter Solis barn. Umbert Rispoli gets the call as this colt is a solid stalker type. Rispoli is an excellent judge of pace and wins 21% with off the pace runners. He just came off a three month break and came home a winner in the $100k Graduation Stakes. I’m looking for more of the same as the barn wins 20% with nongraded stakes and the rider is a strong finisher. #7 Thirsty Always goes to post for the Solis barn as well.  J. J. Hernadez in the irons, and drops down in class from the G2 Best Pal. He seems to fit much better in this spot and sports a sharp work to prepare. Look for an up close stalking trip. #1 Zuboshi is a speedy sort from the Peter Miller barn. Kyle Frey is in the saddle and the barn wins 23% with nongraded stakes. He won on the turf last out and was impressive. Back in today with California company, and gets the rail draw. The turf to dirt switch yields a 23% win clip for Team Miller.

Race#9 – The G2  John C. Mabee – 1 1/8 on the turf – 8:30 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #3 – Dogtag / #8- Going to Vegas / #6 – Bodhicitta

#3 Dogtag is a daughter of War Front for the Dick Mandella barn. Umberto Rispoli is in the saddle and she’s a late runner who is looking for her perfect distance. She has been the bridesmaid her last three efforts and looks to come calling late in the lane. She is regally bred and should give a good account of herself today. #8 Going to Vegas goes to post for Richard Baltas with Flavien Prat aboard. She is 5 for 6 ITM lifetime and should get a patient close up trip under Part who wins 28% with this style of runner. She’s been off for 50 days and should fire fresh off the bench. #6 Bodhicitta is a deep closing daughter of Showcasing (GB) for Richard Baltas and Kent Desormeaux has the call. 2nd time off the layoff yields a 19% win clip for the barn and Kent D should give a strong late run as they turn for home.

Race #11 – The G2 Del Mar Derby – 1 1/8 on the turf – 9:30 pm

BetPTC.com Analysis / #1 – Hudson Ridge / #9 – Zoffarelli / #13 – Sword Zorro

#1 Hudson Ridge hails from the Bob Baffert barn and makes a 2nd off the layoff move today. This son of American Pharoah is a stalker and has the services of turf specialist Flavien Prat. The rider and trainer team up to win 44% the past few months with limited attempts and the switch to Prat may make all the difference when the field cuts the corner at the quarter pole. #9 Zoffarelli is a closer from the Jeff Mullins barn with Drayden Van Dyke in the saddle. His one start coming over from (GB) was a big effort and had to overcome a nasty trip where he was put up in a DQ. He is 1 for 1 over the DM course and should enjoy the added ground down the lane. #13 – Sword Zorro hails from the John Sadler barn with Umberto Rispoli aboard. Sadler is winning 21% for the meet and came off a 3 month break to win the G3 La Jolla. Rispoli wins 23% on the turf, and 19% with closers. Don’t dismiss from your wagers.

BetPTC.com Analysis / #3 – Going Global / #4 – Madone / #7 – Fluffy Socks

#3 Going Global hails from the Phil D’Amato barn with Flavien Prat in the saddle. This is 2nd start off a layoff and comes in as a beaten chalk last out. I think she needed more ground moving from 8f to 9f today. She has a strong late kick and Prat has become one of the best turf riders in the nation. Very dangerous coming off a bullet work. #4 Madone is the horse for the course going 3 for 3 over the DM course. Juan Hernandez has the call for Simon Callaghan who is winning 29% for the meet. A late running filly more suited to the mile, but J.J. Hernandez is winning 20% with late runners and may need the extra ground today. #7 Fluffy Socks hails from the Chad Brown barn with Joel Rosario in the irons. She is taking a step up in class with a late running style. Anytime Chad Brown is in California it deserves a good hard look. She is 1 for 1 at DM and Rosario wins 17% with Team Brown.

Solid works and appears to love the distance going long. Prat wins 27% with route running closers. #3 Dr. Post ships in from Monmouth park for Todd Pletcher with Joel Rosario aboard. He exceeded his plan with a solid going 9f last out and should appreciate the added distance. Rosario scores at a 21% win clip with the Todd Squad and should give a strong account of himself today.

Race#11 – The G2 Del Mar Hcp -1 3/8 on the turf – 10:00pm

BetPTC.com Analysis /#4 – United / #8 – Arklow / #5 -Masterofthehounds

#4 United is a perfect 5 for 5 ITM at DM as Mandella and Prat team up with a 57% win clip as a team. A close to the pace stalker should be right in the catbird seat poised to pounce. Exist a win in the G2 Eddie Read making the 2nd off the layoff move. Loves the track and the connections are hot. Must use in exotics and straight wagers. #8 Arklow hails from the hot Brad Cox barn with Florent Geroux in the saddle. He is 1 for 1 at DM and ships in from the G1 United Nations at Monmouth as a heavily bet player. The distance should be fine as Geroux is a master at getting a horse to relax. Flo and Team Cox win 33% as a team. Toss out the last race after clipping heels and stumbling during the race. Major Player. #5 Masterofthehounds comes off a two month break and Richard Baltas knows how to get them ready. Kent Desormeaux is in the irons and he is winning at a 17% clip on the turf. This guy has to bring his A+ game to compete today and should be a player for the exotic wagers.
