A well balanced race

A well balanced race

At 9h00, on August 21, 2018 By Christian Gendron

On August 21st at Finger Lakes in the 5th race (6 Furlongs | Main), a Win and placed bet at $ 20 on No 6 Play Big (6/1), an Exacta at $ 2 on 6 with 1,2,4,7, an Exacta at $ 1 on 1,2,4,7 with 6 and a Trifecta at $ 1 on 6 with 1,2,4,7 with all. A claiming race for $ 8,500 that is very well balanced. No 4 Dean Verdile will be in command and will show us two victories on shorter distances and I believe that a 6 Furlongs is long for this horse. Entry 1 and 1A are likely to be favorites, but the best of both Boldlee 1A starts from 7th place so outside of my choice today. No 2 Holding Aces is the question mark of this event but shows us some withdrawals and I will use it in my bets. In full health, it could cause surprise. My choice, No 6 Play Big will perform as his name says. This horse is not the fastest at first glance because he seems bigger than average but once he is motivated by his jockey, he seems to take a liking to the action.
