Rich’s Ranks
Race 1 – 6 Furlongs, 132 races, 99 won by speed, 26 w2w – PP: Inside 3 and 8+ bias, 4-7 penalty
5 – COMPRESSED ENERGY – carrying 9lbs less than the next closest horse, has +/LP edge, ran better fractions at 6f v 5 1/2f, 3rd off the break was best in last 3 race cycle
2 – E STREET ANGEL – an every other race horse, last was bad, so this should be good in classic 3rd off the bench, distance 4/2-1-0
1 – SWEET JUSTICE – tied TLRSP#, resume says this race should be the best for yet another 3rd off the bench starter
7 – BLU VIXEN – left arrow horse, not much difference between the rest, so let’s take 15-1 ML
Race 2 – 6 Furlongs, 132 races, 99 won by speed, 26 w2w – PP: Inside 3 and 8+ bias, 4-7 penalty
3 – IDEA MAN – has the top LP#s in the field and moved closer to the front in his last, expecting tick higher in 2nd start after some barn time
8 – GUARD DUTY – just missed in his last, gets a weight break, looks like 6f is the right distance (maybe longer) 6/3-2-0 all others 5/0-1-1
6 – LIVINGONTULSATIME – ran better times last out, 2/2 on an off track, tr Claude Brownfield just 1/20 off the claim
9 – TOUCHOFCHILIPEPPER – left arrow horse, tough call over the 1, but we’ll take the horse that breaks more sharply at a distance where early speed is the way
Race 3 – 1 Mile Turf, 59 races, 31 won by speed, 14 w2w – PP: rail penalty, 2-7 bonus, 8+ big penalty
5 – TOMA TODO – probably on the lead from start to finish, better last ½ of last race

Race 4 – 1 Mile, 50 races, 39 won by speed, 14 w2w – PP: rail penalty, 2-7 fair, 8+ penalty
3 – ACCIDENTAL HERO – has a +LP and nearly ++ EP/LP combi edge, could be close to the front in race that lacks a roadrunner
4 – RABBIT HOUND – showed some early juice in his debut before fading, get the 1st Lasix juice today, 37% win rate for trainer Brad Cox, an alpha angle for him.
7 – PADDOCK BOSS – only class dropper in the field, flipping from turf to dirt, closer with 1st Lasix, not my favorite combo but jy Alex Achard and Tr Rudolphe Brisset are, at least in this race, winners of 6/12 together
2 – QUALIFIED – real tough call over left arrow 1 horse, but rail sucks and this a $150k Brad Cox debuter
Race 5 – 1 Mile Turf, 59 races, 31 won by speed, 14 w2w – PP: rail penalty, 2-7 bonus, 8+ big penalty
1 – THE BOSS FACTOR – hate the rail, but how do you pass on tr Brittany Vaden Berg winning at 52% second off the claim? 12/23 – that’s nuts.
8 – MOMENT (MTO) – TLRSP# and if the track is slightly off 9/4-3-0
7 – BLESSED WITH LUCK – left arrow horse, ITM 6/7 in 2022

6 – SMOKIN RICHIE – BB – has the top EP/LP #s, you can’t pass what you can’t catch, 2nd off the claim for tr Larry Rivelli – 33% winner
5 – ROCK N JUNE BUG – should be part of the chase from go, better fractions last out at 6f vs 5 1/2
4 – FLOWERPECKER – another with plenty of EP, a little regression in last
7 – A FEW TOOM ANY – is the lone P horse, will likely pick off fading speed at the end
Race 7 – 1 Mile Turf, 59 races, 31 won by speed, 14 w2w – PP: rail penalty, 2-7 bonus, 8+ big penalty
12 – ZOLO – could be the pacesetter and tough to catch with most other speed gone

9 – BENNY’S LEGACY – much better late in his last, mini Z pattern
13 – BELLA’S PRAYER – won his last with a clear Z pattern, fractions were a bit slow
