Western Fair: $10,000 Guaranteed Pick-4 for Friday

The marquee night of the year at The Raceway at Western Fair is slated for Friday (May 27) and the track has pulled out all the stops with five guaranteed wagers – an early Pick 4/Pick 5 for $7,500; late versions with a $10,000 promised pool; and a $10,000 guaranteed Super Hi-5 in the Camluck Classic. Post time is 6:50.
Without a doubt the top pick in Camluck Classic is OCEAN ROCK. He’s coming off a trio of qualifiers with his last being a blowout in 1:51.2 and according to regular driver Dan Noble (Jody Jamieson drives tonight), he’s as good as he was at the end of 2021 when he won the Breeders Crown. With blazing early speed he should be trying to wire the field, but on the off chance the pace is crazy, THIS IS THE PLAN seems like the perfect back-up option. He returned from a four-week rest with a stellar effort at The Meadowlands and from the second-tier should be able to watch the dust settle and potentially pounce. (3) TATTOO ARTIST is as fast as any of these and will certainly be firing hard on a track that favors speed. (5) JIMMY FREIGHT finds himself in a tricky spot as the morning-line chalk. He’ll certainly be used hard and sitting second likely if he leaves, or coming from perhaps too far back if he doesn’t. Neither scenario is ideal if he offers a short price.
