Bonjour! Sunday at Blue Ribbon Downs…

Friday recap: Friday’s selections didn’t play out as hoped, but the value bet did finish in the money and returned $7.40. Now that the 2009 Breeders’ Cup is complete, let’s get back in the action and try to play some winners today!

Best Bet: Blue Ribbons Downs Race 2 WIN #10 Prince of Seattle (2/1 ML). Blue Ribbons Downs is scheduled to shut down later this month, but that doesn’t mean we can’t rake in some money first. This 7 ½ furlong claimer features a solid field of 12 entries. Prince of Seattle is a 6YO Kentucky-bred gelding who I expect to win this one. This looks like an interesting race, #9 Gun Runner (3/1 ML) is a 12YO gelding and listed as the second choice on the morning line. You don’t see that very often!

Next Best: Blue Ribbons Downs Race 12 WIN #10 A Ray of Hope (5/2 ML). This maiden claimer for 3YO+ will feature a field of 10 Quarter Horses scheduled to start and I like A Ray of Hope on the outside, a 5YO Iowa-bred gelding running on Lasix for the first time.

Value Bet: Blue Ribbons Downs Race 11 EXACTA BOX #8 First Down Hero (2/1 ML) with #10 Cuzimfromthecountry (7/2 ML). This race features 3YO Appaloosas and Paints running 350 yards and I like both of these horses in here. Let’s hope they run 1-2 and try to cash in today!

Bonne Chance! Monsieur Chanceux
