Well balanced race
At 9h00, on September 30, 2018 • By Christian Gendron
On September 30th at Woodbine in the 8th race (The Classy’n Smart Stake $ 100,000, 1M1 / 16 | Dirt), a Win and Placed bet on No 5 Bear Paw (6/1), an Exacta on 5 with 1,2,4,6 and a Trifecta on 5 with 1,2,4,6 with all and 1,2,4,6 with 5 with all. This race has seven horses but it is extremely well balanced. No 2 Sparkles’ Girl, No 3 Niigon’s Legacy and No 7 Stormy Summer like to be ahead and dictate the flow of the group. And if all three use this strategy, there may be quick fractions in the first three quarters of a mile. No 1 Niigon’s Bay (8/1) is the fastest but it seems impossible to control: he misses his start or he starts outside and the jockey works very hard. No 6 Trini Brewette (2/1) has just defeated a majority of this group but it was her first win in 19 starts and she made her push just at the right moment by surprising some rivals including my choice No 5 Bear Paw, who was already struggling behind horses in lost speed and, once cleared, she came to finish second but the damage was already done.
