Need of speed
At 8h00, on October 17, 2018 • By Christian Gendron
On October 17th at Delaware Raceway Park (Buddy Delp Memorial, $ 50,000 purse) in the 8th race (1M1 / 16 | Dirt), a Win and Placed bet on No 4 Unbridled Juan (3/1), a Trifecta on 4 with 8 with all, on 4 with all with 8 and 4 with 2,8 with all. No 8 Dr. Blarney (3/2) has six wins in six starts in 2018 and needless to say he is the horse to beat. However, when we look at all the starts of this horse since its first in 2017, several victories are won in classes with options to claim and on shorter distance. The other option is No 4 Unbridled Juan who had a tough season in 2017 on the Ontario circuit with 0 in 5 but many horses are not comfortable on the Tapeta of Woodbine and if we ignore this year, he’s 5-8-6 in 19 starts, which means no missed podium on the Dirt and all that with $ 100,000 in payoffs in just four starts this year. This horse will need speed ahead as he is at his best when he keeps reserves for the last stretch and yes he should have speed ahead.
