Bonjour! Tuesday at Mountaineer…

Best Bet: Mountaineer Race 1 WIN #6 Sweet Shame (7/2 ML). Today’s opener is a five and ½ furlong maiden claimer for fillies and mares and I’m backing Sweet Shame, a 3YO Kansas-bred filly who will be ridden by Loveberry. Keep an eye on the two horses starting to her inside, #5 Forceful Wynn (3/1 ML) and the morning line favorite #4 Remedy (5/2 ML).

Next Best: Mountaineer Race 3 WIN #4 Brilliant Bid (3/1 ML). The next Stop on the card is a seven and ½ furlong Turf contest with eight geldings entered and Brilliant Bid, a 6YO Bluegrass-bred who will be ridden by Houghton, looks like the one to beat.

Value Bet: Mountaineer Race 4 WIN #1 Billybeck (10/1 ML). This one mile and 70 yard claimer could offer some value. Each of the seven entries is scheduled to carry 123 pounds and Parker could ride this horse to the winner’s circle. With lucrative odds like this on the morning line, it’s worth a look. Good luck and check back soon for more analysis from team R2D!

Bonne Chance! Monsieur Chanceux
