NEXT BEST–MONMOUTH PARK—RACE 10 –# 3 SOK SOK.
Had no shot in that 4 1/2 furlong fiasco at Mountaineer last time out. That was a god primer for today though. Been running against much better and should boss this field easily if Assmussen has him tight. Steady works at Churchill look OK to me.

VALUE BET–DEL MAR—RACE 10—# 2 MR KATZ / # 7 KNOCKOUT ARTIST….$2 EXACTA BX.

NEXT BEST—MONMOUTH APRK—RACE 10—# 9 SPARKYS DREAM.
Was scratched out of a stakes at Saratoga for todays race. Paco Lopez is off death row and able to ride the final weekend of the summer meet. He will capita;ize on the daughter of Giants Causeway today.

VALUE BET–DEL MAR—RACE 8–# 12 IZSHELEGAL.
Will get a dream trip from the uter most post today. The 7f distance in this graded stakes will give her the ground she nees to get to a pass the pace setters.

NEXT BEST—DEL MAR–RACE 7—#  6   DISTORTED ECONONY.
Gives the grass another shot today, and training very well coming into this race. Front wraps came off for the last two races, and there was a huge improvement. No wraps again today..another big run expected. Check those from legs in the post parade.

VALUE BET–DEL MAR—RACE 3—$2 EXACTA BOX…# 3 BLACK COYOTE/ # 8 BRIDGING.

Play this 2 horse number both ways to cash in the exacta

NEXT BEST—MONMOUTH PARK—RACE 10—# 5  DOS LUNAS.
Tried the GR III  Schuylerville in her last, that coming off a 6 length score on the grass at Churchill. Enough for the dirt experiment, back on the lawn where she dominated. Coa replaces the injured Jon Court, expect the filly to be just behind the speed in the 2 turn mile and move away off the final turn. Haas the higest Beyer grass figure in the entire field.

VALUE BET—DEL MAR—RACE 8–# 7  CHAMP PEGASUS.
Has been running marathon distances for Mandella in his last 2 with a win and a second. This horse by FU PEG seems to have the endurance to run all day. Will settle close to the front and then make his move. Loooks spotted very well by Mandella in this Grade II “win and your in”.

VALUE BET—DEL MAR–RACE 8–# 9 AWESOME GEM.
Won the Hollywood Gold Cup against the invincible RAIL TRIP…This warrior has been running against the best his whole life, and like wine it seems he has got better with age. The clockers in So. Cal are salivating at his works lately. Comment from last work on 8/26 was ” galloped out MONSTROUSLY UNDER A STRONG HOLD….THE BEST I’VE EVER SEEN HIM”. This guy is really coming into his own right now, will be again overlooked in this deep field today. CAPITALIZE on their stupidity.

Do I sound excited about todays plays…I AM.!!!!…big day today.!!

VALUE BET—MONMOUTH PARK—RACE 10–# 6–TEAKS NORTH.
I gave him  to you on Haskell day when he was 30-1 and he won convincingly. Today they take him right into a stakes race. CHA-CHING…Again, running with NORDIC TRUCE showed this guys ability on grass. They will again let him go off at 15-1 or better…FOOLS, good horse in a good spot and we will be cashing BIG tickets again today on TEAKS NORTH.

NEXT BEST–DEL MAR–RACE 3–# 6 LYONS BARTON.
Got a bit of a tough trip in last, was bottled up and forces very wide on the turn. Still made a late move to get third in that race, with better positioning this guy will be flying in the stretch today. Rosario stays for the ride, so that is a good sign. Lightly race gelding has the right to improve very much today.

VALUE BET–DEL MAR–RACE 7–# 9 AMERICAS DREAMING.
The name of this horse sums up much of Americas problems, thas a discussion for another time. This filly will welcome the move back to grass, by Statue of Liberty(son of Storm Cat) she will cover this manicured turf course like she owns it. Rosario gets today mount, he is riding at a 33% clip for Sadler, that numbers is off 72 mounts as well, not a small sample. America may be Dreaming, but we will be cashing on this gal today.

NEXT BEST–MONMOUTH PARK–RACE 10—# 8 DOUBLE ESPRESSO.
Had been running in Grade III’s AND I’s, this is a big drop for a horse that has been running pretty well against much better. If Coa puit in the effort, we will reap the results.Sshould make Tommy Amss 2 for 2 at this meet so far.

VALUE BET–MONMOUTH PARK—RACE 9–# 1 RICKYS LITE.
Colt is a perfect 3 for 3 on the grass, draws the rail and has speed. Trainer is 25% on the year out of 100 runners, thats pretty good folks. No monsters in hre and 10-1 is mouth watering.

NORTHLANDS

BEST BET–NORTHLANDS–RACE 3–# 4 ZURI MWANA.
Takes a huge drop in class for this race, and any horse named ZURI MWANA running up near the Arctic Circle is a must play.

NEXT BEST–NORTHLANDS–RACE 6–# 7 SOUTHERN SPIRIT.
Shipped up from Phliiy Park for his last. Drps in class today and should be less dizzy this time aroundm going 6 1/2 f. Used to the 1 turn boiger ovals south of the border, his class will prevail on these cheap horses.

VALUE BET–NORTHLANDS– RACE  7–# 1 LONGBOAT KEY.
I tried him last ime out, and were tryin this corner again.Will appreciate the extra 1/16 of a mile.

ARLINGTON MILLION DAY
ARLINGTON PARK
BEST BET–ARLINGTON PARK–RACE 8–# 1 PADDY O PRADO.
This guy gets my vote as 3yr old of the year. Ran a very good derby,a bad trip may have cost him a win….and he’s a turf horse !!!..Back on his preferred surface, he will eat this field up and spit them out..

NEXT BEST–ARLINGTON PARK–RACE 9–# 5 RAINBOW VIEW.
Not the best of trips last time out, but she got a trip over the surface. Will be much better today and her price may be better as well. The unfortunate loss of Tuscan Evenong has opened this race wide open and Rainbow View may benefit best from that.

VALUE BET–RACE 7–# 4 MEMORIAL MANIAC.
Horse will love the distance of The Stars and Stripes. 2 of 3 lifetime wins came over these weeds, get James Graham up, nice horse at a nice price.

Fresh off the claim for Mike Mitchell(39%), looks to have the late kick that will be the difference in this field today.2 for 3 lifetime at Del Mar.

NEXT BEST–DEL MAR-RACE 7–# 2 CONNIPTION.

Comes out of a Grade I and II for thodays overnite stake. Been running against Evening Jewel and Harmoniuos to mention a few, get a huge class reprieve today here. Should be up in time for Brice Blanc.

VALUE BET—DEL MAR–RACE 5–# 6  SQUARE DEAL.

Comes back off a short rest fopr Kristen Mulhall. Sports a fair grass record, but has a nice kick that will go over well today in this race. The wheel back off a short rest makes me thing this guy is ready for a good performance in this spot today.

NEXT BEST–ARLINGTON PARK–RACE 8–ADHSILVER.
A polytrack machine, winning 6 of 8 lifetime on that surface. Coming in off a turf mile for todays race ,last time she went turf to poly she won by 7+.

VALUE BET–WOODBINE–RACE 9–# 7 BORN TO ACT.
He is definitely bred to make the 1 1/2 mile distance of this stakes race. Seemd to have found himself a bit in the Toronto Cup going 1 1/8th . Has anice work coming into toddays race and his breeding will play a big part in todays race.
