Fair Grounds 5th--
#4 LITTLE BIRD, 6-1
Talk about a hunch play, but this 3yo ran at OP a while back and took alot of $$$ and was green but good in a fast msw race and got in the $$$. Terry Thompson's agent thought enough of him to take the mount. Shipped back to FG and a good work leading up to this race. Looks like a good wps wager and using with exotics with 2---4---8.
Santa Anita 4th
#1 D'Wildbunch should benefit from early pace duel and come home strong. 1/4/6 ex bx
Oaklawn Park very wet today and awaiting word on scratches before posting a limited number of plays.

I don't mind your SA play at all, he should have every chance.
I'm trying to find a play today here. A couple things I'm looking at:
Race #2 Congats Ski and first timer Mavericks Gun look to sort this one out at a short price. I might even bet Congrats Ski @ 2-1 or better, because even though Maverick is working huge, he has the retard (Talamo) in the irons. There's a chance the horse is good enough to overcome the retard, but not with my cash.
Race #5 I like the favorite here 5/2 shot Mr. Bossy Pants, also like El Vino with Mikey up. Warning Song has every right to be competitive, but again, retardo up.
Race #7 Cactus Flyer @ 5-1. Speed and quit type. Hope Bejarano can milk 6.5F out of this one.
Race#8 Looking for DAVID Flores to steal it on the front end here. Would also make a cheap saver box 2,5,8.
Thoughts?
I say toss the retard in race 2. Little Joe might not clear this group and get smothered up inside. I prefer the way #6 is coming up to first race with the long works. Mandella probably does this more than most, but I like the long series of 6f works, and the times are good, and the draw outside fits well. The 3 & 5 aren't chopped liver either!
In the 5th--toss retard too! Husker likes it 5/1/7, and I agree.
In the 7th-- Could be a longshot race, and I have it 1/2/5/10 in no particular order.
In the 8th-- BTW, I love this race, I see it as FLORES & FLORES, 2/5---2/5---4/8---4/8.
Let me know what you like on Saturday, I'm going to Indian Casino with OTB and will be there just in time for SA card!
I can't toss the retard in my Pick-5, the horse just looks too good in the AM, but I will in everything else. I'll give you a couple if I've got 'em on Saturday - but I won't give you bullshit just for the sake of it. Lets go Flores & Flores.
Always. Unless, you're using the same juice... I'm thinking thats the case here. But, you're spot on with that statement.
Hey how about Julio and Kayla in the first. Horse had monster works, I have it in the Pick-5, no f-ing straight money.
I was on Moment of Weakness in that one. Think he would've won if he hadn't gotten stopped coming around the turn. Tough trip.
Cactus Flyer an epic fail (I forgot Gary Sherlock can't train), but 2 other winners and an exacta ain't bad. El Vino looked good - anybody know off hand if he was claimed?
