Race #4 – $150,000 Louisiana Legacy – 1 mile

 

The top tier levels have some nice value to kick off the $200,000 Guaranteed Pick-Four, and you’ll want to have a wager involved in this multi-race wager.

Race #4 = The top tier runners #10 Sea Vow is (6-1), and owns the Monster Work icon, Should Improve, and Moving in Class handicapping icon. With a 53+ Last Race Rating, and 49 Composite Rating are enough to get you thinking about the added distance which should play to an up-close trip. – #7 G’s Josh (7-2) owns a 52+ and a 45 Composite number. He sports a Monster Work, Has Improved, and Should Improve handicapping icons. – #4 – Our Rapidash (2-1) sports the Monster Workout, and Layoff of 45 Days icons.

 

Race #5 = The $250,000 Delta Mile – Focusing on the two of the top tier selections, I don’t think you’ll need to look any further. – #1 – Departing (8-5) – This son of War Front owns the field top LRR and CR of 58 and 54, and with Colby Hernandez (29%) for Al Stall should make all the difference. – #7 – Cougar Ridge (7-2) – Sports solid numbers with 57+ and 53, and with the hot hand of Corey Lanerie in the irons will help the cause.

 

Race #6 = The Delta Princess = #6 – La Appassionata (3-5) is in the top selections and could very well be a single in the exotics. – This daughter of Bernardini owns the top figures of 57 and 55 in this field. – Gerard Melancon in the irons (20%) knows his way to the winner’s circle, and Steve Asmussen (20%) is no stranger as well.

Race #7 = The $1,000,000 G-3 Delta Downs Jackpot = This race has given us a good glimpse of good things to watch, and you need to keep this race on your races to watch for the day. – Winning Ponies is not always going to have the chalk or big favorite in the top tiers, so you’ll want to examine the E-Z Win Forms for the hidden nuggets of gold. Here are some of the runners named in the top tier levels.

#2 – Memories of Winter (10-1)

#1 – Forevamo (4-1)

#7 – Found Money (6-1)

#4 – Whitmore (8-1)
