Here are my Free picks for Sept 19 Colonial Downs Harness Meet
.
Race 2: I like the #2 Western Duke, Ive watchied this Horse run Many times and seems to be peaking at this time of the year..Frank Milby who knows Colonial Downs well should be able to come home on top here..for 2nd I like the #3 BR Tootsie Toy , This horse has run against much better Horses in the past, Let's hope she likes Colonial Downs long stretch, 1st time Lasix is a plus...for 3rd Im going with the #8 Mafia Hall, has been Unimpressive lately , but due for a good finish here...$5 wps on the #2 ...$20 show on the #3
Race 5: For 1st let's go with the the #2 Charlottes Boreas, This Gelding has good speed and has won at Colonial before....for 2nd I like #5 Imadragon, was very hot a few months back , It's all about how he likes this unique Colonial Downs track..and for 3rd the #4 Paul T....A horse that is up and down , but I like the driver Evan Coblentz here .....$20 to show on the #5 and a $2 exacta box 2-5-4
Race 8: for 1st I like the #1 Sky High , Major drop in class here , but let me note I only like this horse if we get John Wagner as the Driver, any horse Bred from Muscles Yankee should always deserve consideration no matter the track or class of the field... for 2nd I like the #8 Just listed , I like past preformances and I like Scott Woogen here..for 3rd Im going with the #6 Lost Weight , this horse always seems to be in the money...$10 WPS on the #1 .. $20 to show on the #6.... $1 Ex and Tri box 1-8-6 ..thats $62 total bet on this race , but Im confident you will make money if you use all these plays

Here are my Free picks for Del Mar July 25
Race3: I like the #5 Achak, This horse has shown closing speed in the past and just missed last trip out, and getting Espinoza abourd is a plus. For 2nd I like the #3 Get Funky, He will more than likely be the Favorite. For 3rd Im going with #4 Winsome Charm. He beat Achak last time out, however the only thing about this horse is that he has to be positioned well, as he only seems to be able to win if Put on the rail late. Also I ilke $20 to show on the #4
Race 7: Im going with the #3 Jack o' Latern. This horse is coming off a almost 2 year layoff, that is why you are getting such a good price on him. I like his recent workout and the addition of Joe Talamo abourd. For 2nd I like the #7 Afleet Ruler. I like his last 4 races. And for 3rd Im going with the #8 New Bay. Big drop in class here after coming off a $250,000 Stakes Race. Now for something different Im going to put $20 to show on the #4 who is Undefeated in 2 lifetime starts, both he won easily, however he hasn't faced these class of horses. Also Im doing a $3 3-7-8 Exacta Box
Race 8: The $150,000 San Clemente H Grade II Stakes. I like the #6 Evening Jewel, she is the one to beat and deserves a big win bet if you get decent odds Of 1/1 or better. For 2nd I like the #5 Switch. she is coming off two great preformances in Stakes Races. And for 3rd I Like the #2 Fortunia. Last two races she showed tremendous closing speed and with a perfect trip, could catch Evening Jewel if she relaxes near the wire. Im also doing $20 to show on the #5 and a 6-5-2 Exacta Box
Update ..... In Race 3 our top 2 picks did not hit the board, However we were saved by our $20 show bet on the #4 which paid us $44.00
In Race 7 we did not have much Luck, we took a shot on Jack o' Latern coming off the almost 2 year layoff, and he was rusty to say the least, our 2nd pick #7 Afleet Ruler did come in 2nd though
In race 8 the Stakes Race we told you to bet as much as possible on the #3 Awesome Gem If you got a good price. Well we did and bet $100 to win, which paid us back $270, also notice the payoff's for the #3 $5.40 $3.20 $3.60, the show payed more than the place, If you had been paying attention to the pools , you would have caught this, please refer to our blogs section and the article I wrote on Betting the Show Bet. All in All not a bad day, as we walked away with a profit
Race 3: In Race 3 I'm going with the #1 Chairman Now who just missed last time out at the same disatnce at Belmont. Also the race before that he finished 3rd in a $150,000 stakes race. However there is strong competition in this race, so I like the #9 El Primero for 2nd. 3rd Im going to take a shot here with the #6 Baatesh..also try a 1-9-6 exacta and trifecta box
Race 6: In Race 6 Im looking for a price, and I think I found it in the #5 Alltiffedoff. This horse always shows up on the board in Turf Races, now I know he is going against tougher competition this race, but I still like his chances..2nd im going with the #9 Duke Of Naples. I like the jock Prado here and I love the late closing last titme out. For 3rd Im going with the coupled #1 entry. Either of these horses has a chance to hit the board in my opinion, so they will also get a $20 show bet
Race 9: This is the $250,000 stakes race in which Devil May Care is the heavy Favorite. Let's try to beat her. I like the #8 Acting Happy. In my Opinion she has the best chance of beating the Devil. Also give some consideration to the #3 Seeking The Title, she is no stranger to stakes races. Ok let's bet the #8 to win, then do 8-6-3 Exacta and Trifecta boxes, and put $20 to show on the #3
Update...... In our First Race, Race 3 Our top Pick #1 finished 2nd and our 3rd pick #6 finished 3rd. Please not this was originally scheduled for the Turf but was taken off due to track conditions. When we made our picks he were handicaping for the Turf Race
In race 6, We were again Handicaping for a Turf Race, but this race was also taken off the Turf, We did Manage to hit our $20 show on the #1 though, which paid us $59.00
Well in Race 9 We tried to beat Devil , but she ran a great Race
Here are my Free picks for Colonial Downs July 21
In the 2nd race I like the #10 Silver Pieces. He tried twice on the turf here with bad results, However this Silver Charm Gelding has had some success on the dirt, plus he has Forest Boyce up who has been hot recently. Also try a 10-2-1 exacta and trifecta box
In the 3rd race I like the #2 Scooter Tax. He will no doubt be in the lead early and should be able to hold on with a change to a shorter distance , which better fits his style...I also like a $20 show wager on the #3 There's Still Time
In race 7 Im going with the #14 Roar Of The Surge. He finished in front of the likiely favorite #10 Treasure Trip before, plus he gets Rosemary Homeister this time in what could be the deciding race to determine the Leading Jockey for the 2010 Colonial Downs meet. I also like a 14-10-3 trifecta box. And also $10 to show on the #3 as I love the Skip Away connection
Update...... We hit our first pick in the 2nd race with #10 Silver Pieces
Our second pick in the 3rd race finished 3rd with 2 longshots finishing 1st and 2nd which payed out a whopping $2,219 Exacta and $20,248 Trifecta
Our 3rd pick of the day hit again with #14 Roar Of The Surge Winning, we also hit the exacta, note our other pick the #3 Class Skip was scratched, so we got our show money back, but it cost us a shot at the trifecta
