Nothing yesterday and very little today. But big weekend ahead with a couple at FG & GP.

Friday Oaklawn Race 1
F & M 3 & up clm $15k 6f

Husker and I are in complete agreement on this one!Droppers and sneaky layoff entries galore!

#3 SWEET TIZZY LIZZY, 6-1
Speedy enough to be close all the way and have something left. Good info from trainer Richard.

#4 BAR BABE, 9/5
Good closing ability and should show alot of run late. Short price but you can't leave this one out of the mix. Hobby got her a few months ago and promised owners a big meet. We'll see?

#6 LAYNEE'S MOOSE, 8-1
Been off for a year. Sneaky works coming back for a super sneaky trainer, Kenny Smith. Remember the " MILKSHAKE" era at OP with Cole Norman and the gang? If she runs anything like she did before the layoff, she wins for fun!

Race 6 are Arkie Bred running for a purse of forty grand. Should be a calvary charge, and hard not to like #6 Little Bird, 4-1, with 1/3/12.

SATURDAY 1-21-2012

Tough card and alot of races are wide open. Make sure you get a price in these cheap clm races!

Race 9
alw 4 & up n2l going one mile, got some good info on one in here who will be completely overlooked at the windows and could go off at 10-1 or better:

#7 MY ZIPPER, 6-1
started off his career as a three year old running on turf at CD and Tampa Bay. Not too many City Zip offspring take to the weeds, and he was pretty good but got hurt and was off for a year before he came back in early Dec 2011 at Turfway on the sticky shit and won for fun. Shipped to Oaklawn Park where he has had some very good works and is catching some backside attention. Looks like he will step up his game on real dirt and he catches a less than stellar group in here today.

#7 wps
Ex Bx 2---4---7

Pick 4 Play, don't know why I try, but if you catch one at OP is will damned sure be a good one!!!

6th---2/4/9
7th---1/2/3
8th---3/9
9th---#7 (add 2 & 4 if budget allows)

In the Race 6th,, I just got some info on a firster from Grant Forester, #4 SILVER HUSTLER, 5-1, 3yo fillie who is said to be a real speedball and will be sent to the front and lead every step of the way. All Channing Hill will have to do is hold on!

Yeah Buddy. I missed this one, but i'm sure it was as easy as you said.

See If I Can Do Better Here In The 'fog' Today........

My Best Bet------race 3....#4...'demure Halo'....midwest Owners...its A Watch List Horse Also....best Bet Today.....

Morse /trainer Should Have A Good Day...back To Back....races 6/r7
Race 6----#8....'ambergris'
Race 7----truly Inspired'

Race 8---should Be The Strong Local Owner And Racing Commissioner...low's Horse........#7.....'arienza......

Sunday

Race 7 is as cheap as it gets. #5 Truly inspired is the most logical winner and I will key him on top. 5 1/2 f sets him up perfectly. However, I got to tell you about #1 GRAYSONIA. Last season, his owners ran him every week at this level and it took its toll. I felt so sorry for him I damned near went down and claimed him myself just to give him a refresher. One day on a Saturday I was there with my wife, which is unusual, and we got tired of being in the morgue ( Jockey Club) so we went down to the track apron and were watching the parade go by and with all these baby faced hispanic jockeys going by they all look like they are 15 years old. Suddenly, Perry Compton comes by with his weathered 50 plus old face and everybody lets out a gasp at how old he looks. All these dames shut up quickly when I told them he is younger than they are!!! In any event, Ole GRAYSONIA comes back today in this cheap race and guess what? He has had a layoff!!!!! This old timer warhorse will give you all he has for as long as he can. I figure he'll run 2nd or fall out. Thus, I'm playing a tri key with #5 over the 1/2 over the #4. Short field so it won't pay shasta.

I spoke with Danny Peitz last week and he told me that Arienza looks better than a plate of fried chicken! Though, he is concerned about her coming back at 6f against some of these sprinters. I just don't think she will fire her best today and I'm playing her underneath in exotics with the 1/2/8/11 on top.

Could be wet today?
I had some very good info on a couple today, but the damn newspaper guru had the same info and put them out as a hot pick! Ruined our chance at a good price.

5th ---#2 Cassoulet, 9/2, wps and use with ex bx 1/2/4

6th---#4 Kaddish, 10-1, guru pick which will kill our price

7th---ex bx 2/5/7

8th--#7 ARIZANA, 6/5, we get a single here in a pick 4

9th---#7---key over 4/5/10

Bonus play Fair grounds 7th---#7 Paz Perfect, 6-1, if he has room outside in the stretch, look out!

Agree wholeheartedly. Good luck with this one...

my spelling sucks. Most of you know I meant ARIENZA. She sct out of sprint race Sunday in favor of this easier spot for her first back. She wins this for fun at 1/5.

DC,
I missed your comment until now, I was on the phone with Cot.
The race at the FG today is listed as still on turf, but very good chance it will come off. Nevertheless, Paz will run, but we would rather see him on the grass!

Yeah, was just checking the Fair Grounds website and i see that all races are now off the turf. Bummer. Personally, i'd prefer they scratch him and wait for a turf race, but whatcha gonna do.

I have no info on anything running today. Perhaps the most hard to handicap bunch of races I have ever seen. We need to send out a S.O.S to King and see what he knows about all these Arkie breds.

Race 3
clm $25k 6f

#1 Let's Get Fiscal, 3-1
Old NYRA runner for Rick Violette who was coming up empty at $35k level. Given to Cody Autrey who placed him into $7,500 level and he ran off to win by open daylight. Astute Ark trainer J R Caldwell knew he was in too cheap and picked him up in the claim. Jumps him right back up into $25k level and he is still good enough to beat these.

#1 wps
Ex Bx 1---5---7


Race 5
msw $40k one mile

#4 SPEED SCORE, 3-1
Ran a better than looks 3rd last out on this surface. Winner of that race came back to run in G3 LeComte last week at Fair Grounds. Finds a much easier spot today and is a logical play for big $$$$$!!!

Looks like Midwest is well represented today and you have to look at all their entries.

Sorry, wrong gender on LET'S GET FISCAL, 4yo fillie
