SATURDAY NIGHT SELECTIONS FROM RETAMA PARK- BRONCOBUSTER
 
Best Bet – Race 1 #6 Hickory Nut A, M/L 8-5.  Been hinting that a win is looming with consectutive 2nd place finishes. Like that he cuts back 1/2 furlong today and he also faces a few in here that he is already beaten which should boost his confidence.   Should be graduation day for this guy.
 
Next Best Bet-  Race 5 #4 Cuvee’s Pride, M/L 2-1.  Could have easily been my best bet tonight. This one has been chasing tougher company than he faces today including a couple of stake races.  There aren’t any of those in here and the final running time of his last would easily run away from these.  Anything close to that time will get him into the winners circle. 
 
Value Bet -  Race 3 #3 Tates Mandate, M/L 5-1.  Interesting and wide open 10 claimer on the lawn which see’s a slew of horses searching for a spot.  This races has low level ALW horses in with some claimers who are dropping and horses switching surfaces. He had back to back wins in low starter ALW races and last time raced well enough but the classification was a bit too tough.  He cuts back in distance and if he times the move right could jump up here. Not the easiest race to handicap but this one jumped out at me a little as a possible value play in a wide open race.
