CHRIS WADE’S PICKS TO CLICK FOR SATURDAY, AUGUST 8 AT LOS ALAMITOS
Tonight's BEST BET will be in the 2nd Leg of the "Best Bet" in all of Night Racing, the Early Pick Four here at Prestigious Ole' Los Alamitos where the Pools are Gigantic and the Return on Your Investment could be the same with a Double Digit Winner along the way. In Race 2, the # 5-PLEASE PAUL exits a "much better than looked" 7th place finish versus a quality group of Trial Rivals 28 nights ago. In said event, this runner back bobbled and got crossed to lose multiple lengths prior to skiing some to the wire and while actually guzzled to the wire. With all factored (trouble @ track variant) in, this entrant should be triple tough to Deny with an expected better start and ensuing journey from this outside post for a Top-Notch Jockey/Trainer/Owner (18%) Combo. The PRICE PLAYER will be in the Closing Event this Saturday Evening, the John Deere Juvenile California Regional Challenge Stakes. In Race 8, the # 1-TEXAS COWGIRL 123 went "better than looked" for the 3/4 length beat 2nd as the favorite in the Opening Trial 21 nights ago. In that effort, this runner broke a step slow and kinda head-high when crossed to lose a length of ground and some momentum to the winner and favorite (Cape Blanco) of this event. After the tough start, this runner put forth a solid mid-race and late-run to the wire to make it pretty close at the wire and with run left in the tank. The figure earned is "right there" in the Finale and an expected Betta start could and should put this good looker in the photo and at a nice price. Good luck Y'alll !!!
CHRIS WADE’S SIMULCAST PRIMER FOR SATURDAY, AUGUST 8 AT RETAMA PARK
3RD 9-VALIANT LIL MARFA went well late for 3rd after a less than stellar start when earning a career best figure that's slightly best in this closely matched affair with all factored in . 7-FDD RELENTLESS broke on the lead and held fairly well for the length beat 4th in Oklahoma when putting up a comparable number and the shorter distance enhances the chances on the ship-in. 5-DI FDD DANCER exits a "better than looked" 7th of 9 over the surface as the deserved favorite for a top-notch shed-row. If we overlook said troubled effort and look to the prior 2 runner-up efforts, then this entrant could make some amends to the backers of the last.
4TH 9-POLITICAL MONKEY broke on the lead and held well for the head beat 2nd in the Grey's best effort of his young career thus far. Another baby step onward gives this entrant the slightest of edges. 6-GOLDMINE CREEK regressed on the ship-in on my charts despite the less than stellar start and ensuing trip to the wire when crossed by a quicker rival. If we toss that effort out and look to the prior two, then this well connected runner could and should be a contendaa. 8-DIGITAL DOLLAR exits a "better than looked" last place finish in the career debut at Ole' Louisiana Downs after showing some morning ability prior over the surface. Will be the "Bombs Away Play" with all said and done.
5TH 6-MADAME MONROE went "ooohhh soooo "much better than looked" for 7th in her much troubled last when showing some run far back in close quarters when actually earning a solid figure with all factored (trouble @ tack variant) in. 9-JACKPOT GL exits a slightly better than looked 4th place finish in one of the weakest rated affairs Iv'e seen this season over any surface but the filly finds a field as bad. Whoever wins this event, will....never win again. In my opinion. 2-AMUDDY FANCY CHICK has a hint of ability in two slightly troubled affairs and a baby step forward gives the Grey a look in here and at a nice price.
6TH 8-FIDELIO has improved in each subsequent start and the most recent 3/4 length beat 2nd earned a figure that's slightly best in this closely matched event and the barn is going well (26%) these last 30 nights of racing. 9-JVM VICTORIA DOLL is an in and outer deluxe (one good one ehhh) who earned a quality figure in her last and if she can Garner two goodies in a row tonight, then a medium priced contender she'll be. 5-BOLTED is the Chris' Picks "Bombs Away Play" in here as his most recent charting earned is comparable in here and a decent getaway could put the long-shot looker in the mix and at a Big Price.
7TH 10-CHILITOS SUSPECT improved immensely in the most recent effort on the ship-in to Delta Downs when showing a nice late run to the wire for the well beaten 2nd versus a long-gone winner. The charting earned is Best in here on the ship-back-in and hopefully a like effort is in store and at the inflated morning line. 1-CYBER KARTEL showed some ability in the needed career debut when 4th and while putting up a comparable number for this event at a medium mutual. 8-CYBER DIVA bobbled and bumped at the start of her last prior to the steady mid-race and late-run to the wire when garnering the trifecta placing. The number put up is competitive in here and there's more room for improvement.
8TH 1-JLC SHOW TIME went slightly better than looked for 4th in the Retama Park Derby in her last when putting up a solid figure for this Trial and a nice priced player she'll be with anything close to a repeat and.....at a nice priced. 6-FEE TRAIN has been away for quite some time but, when last seen the filly won gamely in Louisiana and when earning a quality figure that'll improve tonight as an older, as a faster and as a more mature older runner. Should be in the mix. 4-PEACEMAKER RETURN showed a nice late run versus a quality group of GR3 runners in Louisiana and while earning a solid figure with all factored in. Should be a nice priced player with an elusive decent getaway.
9TH 1-CHLOES MAN went well for the head beat 2nd in the needed return effort in Oklahoma when earning a career best figure and an expected baby step onward gives the improving sort a medium priced look in here. 2-JESS DRIVE won well as the bet-down favorite on the ship-in when earning a number that'll be competitive in here for an up and coming shed-row and, another baby step onward is comparable in here. 5-KARMA CHA CHING has won 3 in a row and each figure moved forward on my charts and another step forward could and should put this Filly in the mix albeit at a shorty price.
10TH 5-SHES EC TO TEMPT has won 7 in a row and 7 of 8 in an impressive career and when earning a figure that's best in this event and let's all hope for the morning line when all is said and done. The one hold for a super won/last (45%) shed-row. 4-DI KVN WAVEN went well for the 1.5 length beaten 2nd in the Selma Stakes when earning a solid figure that's on the toppers heels with all factored in. The main threat to the wire. 3-FIRE COWGIRL is an in and outer deluxe (one good one ehhh) who could be a player in the underneath exotics with a goodie tonight. Should be a higher priced exotic player.
11TH 9-EYEZA CANDY CARTEL crushed in Oklahoma in the much needed return effort when actually earning a comparable number that'll move forward in this affair for a barn that can win with new trainees. Watch the Wagering on this runner. 7-OMAC DONALD exits a "better than looked" 5th place finish versus a solid and productive cast of rivals when earning a quality number that's on the toppers heels. Should be in the mix when all is said and done. 4-A MENACE WAGON went 'better than looked" for 5th versus a quality cast of rivals when actually putting up a comparable number with all factored in. Good Luck Y'all !!!
CHRIS WADE’S SIMULCAST PRIMER FOR SATURDAY, AUGUST 8 AT DELTA DOWNS
4TH 2-FAVORITE TRAIN has improved in each subsequent start and the most recent 3rd place finish versus a repeat winner earned a solid figure with all factored in. 3-KRS DREAM went well for the late running 3rd versus a quality cast of Juvenile Stakes Company after a less than stellar getaway and draws between rivals tonight after finding the outside and inside posts prior. Should be in the mix from the get-go. 1-KJ MAN ELEALICIOUS broke on the lead and extended to the wire while never asked for much run when crushing on the drop to break the maiden impressively. Should be near throughout for a barn that's a solid 21% with repeat winners.
5TH 1-MP COCO PILOT went "better than looked" for 6th in the GR1 Lee Berwick 28 nights ago after breaking slow and getting crossed prior to the solid late run to the wire. The Big Bodied Runner looks tough with even a decent getaway. 4-EPYPHANY broke a baby step slow and inward in the like event the topper does exit when then finishing evenly to the wire when putting up a figure that's steadily 2nd best in here. 5-JESS LOUISIANA BEE has won 3 in a row and all rather impressive when earning underneath exotic figures but...the barn is new to Us and We'll see how they do with a quality entrant.
6TH 3-FULLMOONOVRMANHATTAN broke near the lead despite a "baby bobble" at the start prior to the Big Run mid-way and to the wire as the Chris Picks Price Player that Evening for the Crew. The figure earned is Best in here but the new connections put a (?) above Her Head. Watch the Wagering on this runner. 7-AJS BLACK LABEL BUZZ is as consistent as they come with 4 of 5 efforts resulting with an on the board finish and all when earning comparable numbers that give the gelding a medium priced look in here. Should a player for an up and coming barn. 4-SPICEY TIDE will be a player in here if we toss aside the much troubled most recent a take a gander at the prior two efforts that put up comparable numbers for this event. A clean start and ensuing trip gives the small barned entrant a look in here at an expected rising mutual.
7TH 5-WHOOZTHATLADY showed a Big Turn of Foot late to get within 3/4's of a length at the wire after a tough getaway and ensuing journey mid-way prior to quality run to the wire. The charting puts this entrant in the Chris' Picks Tripe Tough to Deny Column at hopefully the morning line. 2-HEY HAY WHAT YA SAY is looking to make some amends for the kinda ehhh effort as the deserved favorite in his last as the bet-down favorite after the impressive debut as the public choice after prepping huuuuge in Texas prior. If a like effort from the debut is the offing, then a threat to the topper this entrant could and should be at an expected rising mutual. 1-BLUE HEART Z crushed a quality group to break the maiden after finding some trouble in her prior two efforts versus top-notch and productive groups. Will be a medium priced player.
8TH 4-MAN FOR COS was best in the GR1 Lee Berwick Futurity 28 nights ago after the baby bobbled start which proceeded the late run to the wire when drifting out down the lane. Should be triple tough as the Chris' Picks Best Bet on the Simulcast Card. 1-APOLLITICAL LATINO was a close up nose beat 2nd to the topper in their like last two back and a like effort could put the well connected runner on the photo again and he was troubled 2nd as the favorite last time. Should be the main threat to the top choice for a barn that's a solid 39% with 2-6 month returnees. 3-IM IT broke on the lead and and extended to the wire in a very impressive fashion when earning a figure that's on the toppers heels and a medium priced player he'll be.
9TH 7-RDD REASONS FOR B is a talented runner who's won both of Her Trials for a GR1 and GR2 event only to come up a nose and and neck shy in the finals. The talented runner put up impressive figures in both that are easily best in the Finale and if Y'all get 7-5 when all is said and done, that'll be a Big Surprise to Meee. 4-BMSTRAINISCOMING has cri=used in each of his last two efforts and both as the deserved odds-onner in each while earning quality figures that are easily 2nd best in here. Can Y'all say......7-4 exacta straight for about a $ 4.40 return for the dollar wager. We'll see!! 5-TREN POLITICO has been behind quality rivals in both career efforts when putting up underneath comparable figures and that's where the Grey figures....again. Good Luck Y'all !!!
CHRIS WADE’S PICKS TO CLICK FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 9 AT LOS ALAMITOS
Tonight's BEST BET goes in the Opening Leg of One of the Best Bets in all of Night Racing, the Late Pick Four here at Prestigious Ole' Los Alamitos where the Pools are Gigantic and the Return on Your Investment could be the same with a Double Digit Winner along the way. In Race 5, the # 6-HARD TO GRASP exits a "much better than looked" 3rd place finish 35 nights ago versus a quality cast of Trial Rivals two of which qualified to the Final and One (Terrific Favorite) running a super neck beat 2nd and the other (Still Standing) running 4th when all said and done. In the Trial, this runner broke slow and bobbled to be crossed when losing over a length and then skiing to the wire to land in the trifecta spot. The figure earned is Best in here and the outside post enhances the chances to beat the 2nd choice (Warm And Toasty) and the toppers half brother. The PRICE PLAYER will be in the 8th and final, the well matched Florentine Stakes where this Event could Go any a number of ways soooo don't leave out that one or two entrants to save some money on the PK4 which could come back to bite Y'all in the wallet when that one left out runner pops at a Nice Price. In Race 8, the # 8-VAL BABY exits the very Strong and Productive Abigail Kawanakoa Stakes and did finish an even 8th of 9 and after a tough start when breaking slow and then wandering about (skiing badly) from the outside post. The talented strife finder has many a comparable number in her holster that's "right there" in here with all factored in and she prepped super (A/Grade) recently for this event. If and that's a "Big If", If an elusive decent start is in the offing, then this could be a nice priced player from the get-go. Good Luck Y'all!!
