Analysis:
Race 7: The two best mares in this Breeders Crown elimination appear to be (2) Solar Sister and (6) Yagonnamissmeornot. I’ll use these two. If I were going deeper, I’d include (1) Katie Said and (7) Frost Damage Blues.
Race 8: (1) Dayson went 1:51.2 over this track this year, and he won’t have to go that fast to beat these. I’m also going to use (6) Celebrity Pegasus, a trotter who has won 11 of his last 23 races.
Race 9: (6) I’m Some Graduate probably needed last and is my Best Bet tonight
Race 10: This is a non-winners of $50,000 in 2016, which makes it a wide-open race. I’ll use all four of my listed contenders, (1) Muscles On Fire, (2) Trot Commander, (3) Twill Be Done and (8) Rock The Bones.
