- DATE: April 5, 2024
- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $7,656
RACE 1
| 3. The Illusionist | Got a bit of a freshening and switches into hot Viands barn |
| 5. Spirit of Windsor | Can improve in second off bench |
| 4. Run to Daylight | Two-time stakes winner at two now toiling at the bottom |
RACE 2
| 6. Racing Hot Line | Makes season bow, gets leading rider up; prior two-turn effort puts him right there |
| 4. Yachtsmen | Narrowly missed versus similar in last |
| 3. Town Hot | Credible debut says he can improve here |
RACE 3
| 1. Shewonttalktome | First two-turn try was good enough to win here; should knock condition down today |
| 6. Sparkleinyoureye | Stuck at this level for a while |
| 5. Princess Margaret | Confidence boost in last; Grams barn cooking |
RACE 4
| 2. Dream Street Rose | Moderately decent try in last versus special weight foes; blinkers off |
| 6. Grumpy N U Know It | Drops from special weight company |
| 8. Owe You One | Can improve in third off the bench |
RACE 5
| 1. Summertime Rose | Trainer Brown has positive ROI first off the claim last five years; draw a line through last after runner was antsy in the gate, broke last, and hung out wide throughout |
| 9. Nana’s Boopa | Nearly blew up the toteboard in front-running try last out; probably heads to front again |
| 8. Travel Smart | First try versus N3L types |
RACE 6
| 6. Ride the Brand | Just missed in last after donning blinkers for first two-turn try; should be forwardly placed |
| 2. Shoot the Breeze | Beaten twice at odds-on; makes season debut |
| 4. Funkle | Improved effort in last |
RACE 7
| 12. Juba’s Hat Trick | Could be vulnerable in first since October but clearly most talented of the group; owns four-race win streak |
| 9. Lord of Cork | Bested twice last year by top choice |
| 3. Cassius | Won last by 14 lengths while in hand throughout |
RACE 8
| 4. Daylight Queen | Wakeup call needed; the price should be right in wide-open heat |
| 8. Gone With the Wyn | Interesting to see Runco-Boca tandem on bottom-level maiden; first in the barn |
| 10. Shackled by Lust | Plummets from $20k claim to a nickel off lengthy break in first in Farrior barn; may go favored anyway |

1.”Run To Daylight”just might
“Assert Dominance”over”Spirit of Windsor.
2.”Racing Hot Line”looks fine and”Yatchmen”
can sail but I’m looking to see Johnson get his first million.
3.”Shewonttalktome”but she puts a “Sparkleinyoureye”.and money in your pocket.
4.”Swipe That Candy”looks dandy but”I Owe You One”
can deliver the”Cold Cash”in this dash.
5.I knows”Summertime Rose”looks like a lock
but she’s no”Money Machine”and I wish to’Travel Smart”
to get some part.
6.I won’t sneeze at”Shoot The Breeze”but sees
“Jonas Hill Road”carrying the load.
7.I’ll stick with”Juba’s Hat Trick”but
Penguin Parade”attracted Arnoldo and me.
8.I don’t trust”Shackled By Lust”so lets
give”Azteca Girl”a whirl.
In and out all night
but finished right with
the “Penguin Parade leading
“Azteca Girl” to a $238 late DD
Ted did “Ride The Brand” to a nice win and exacta.
