Race 1 - Midnight lightning showed a good brush for Vallee in his debut last week. He usually gets off when they are ready to win and Gingras gets in the sulky tonight. I like him even from the 10 hole.
10W3/6/2
Double (10-1)

Race 2 - Odds On Equuleus has raced himself into shape. He still closed well against a speed favoring bias last week with these. If the track plays fair tonight I think he can out close this small field at a decent price. 1W5/6/7

Race 3 - Pick Four (3/8/9-1/3/5/6-7-11)

Race 5 - I hate the longer distance but I have to play Smart Roker here. Has raced really well with LaChance driving. Gets Miller tonight and he knows how to get position with these large fields. He'll beat the favorite here. 7W4/1/12

Race 7- Pick Four (3/8/10-3/4/9-4/5/8/9-6/10)

Race 8 - OK Commander has raced really well against better. No big dogs to fight here. 4W3/9/5

Good luck to all!!!!!

Hal speaks so fondly of ITS that I was determined to find my password on an old computer and I finally did!

I hope all is well with you all, and I'll stop by regularly.
Hello Old and Slow!!!!!!!!!

Race 2- Sparky Mark raced huge in last with the 9 hole. Came home the fastest last quarter of the night. He's got strategic speed and he should control this race from the start.  My best bet.4W6/2/8

Race 3- Pick four (4/5-1/8/9/10-2/3-2/3/4)

Race 5- Carracci Hanover appears to be getting into shape now and gets Zeron from LaChance. Big advantage and he should be in for a good trip. 2W3/6/5

Race 7 - Pick Four (4/7/9-3/4/8/9-3/6-2/10)

Race 9 - was very impressed with Jins Dragons effort off a layoff last week. Fits well with this class and gets Brett Miller tonight. 3W6/4/8

Race 10 - I'm coming back on Roar. He made two moves on a tiring track and that is not his style. He should be raced off pace tonight and that should put him in the winners circle. He has a nice late brush. 2W10/7/5

Good luck to all!!!!

Race 3- Pick Four (6/7/9/10-3/7/9-1/4-2/3)

Race 5- Major Bombay has had a few needed starts after a layoff. Horse has some back class and trainer looks to have him ready tonight. My best bet. 1W4/10/7

Race 6 - looks to be plenty of outside speed here. I'm looking for a price and Dapper Dude fits well. He was totally blocked in his last at Woodbine. He may be in a good spot turning for home and ready to pick off some tiring horses at a nice price. 2W3/8/9

Race 9 - Roar takes a nice class drop and he'll be able to out close this if the pace is fair. 7W6/4/3

Race 10 - Sparky Mark is a tough one who had a tough trip in last. Drops in class and gets Callahan from Marcus Miller. That's big. Should be in the engine tonight. 9W1/3/2

Good luck to all!!!

Race 3- Pick four (1/8-1/8/10-8-4/7/8)

Race 5- Rockeyed Optimist needed his last start. Tetrick will have him in the hunt tonight and he should take these. 8W5/6/4

Race 7 - Pick Four (2/3-5-1/2/4-1/5/7)

Race 8 - was very impressed with Second Wind last week. Went the whole mile parked out. Much of it on the backstretch with no cover and he hung gamely only losing by a neck. Improved post should see a live cover trip and his best saved for the end. My best bet.5W2/6/1

Good luck all!

Race 1- Iam Bonasera has the best late kick in the bunch. Hasn't race in a month but had a qualifier and Miller usually has them ready to go. Hoping for an honest pace to get him in position.
8W4/6/5

Race 4- Pick Four (3/5/6-3-1/2/5/6-5/10)

Race 7 - In The Arsenal is my best bet. Was hard used last week to get the lead on a speed tiring track. Sears shut him down late when he knew he was beat but the horse still had some gas in the tank. Sears will overcome the 10 hole which should help the price. 10W5/3/9

Race 8 - Yagonnakissmeornot has had an incredible year against these mares is always there at the end of the mile. Should be lots of speed here so look for her to be closing late. 5W8/3/6
Pick Four (3/5/8-3-3/4/5-1/2/7/10)

Race 11- Your So Vain was flying late last week. Hadn't raced since August so I'm thinking he'll be a little sharper this week when he'll need to do more during the mile. Ake gets them in gear for the big ones. 1W2/7/10

Good luck to all!!!!!!

At this point I would go with JK Shesa lady.
She has been the most dominant horse in it's class.

Race 3 - Western Vintage has raw speed and has a couple of needed starts after tw months off. He may show speed tonight and that'll put him far ahead of the favorite Jet Airway who is a dead closer. 7W5/9/2
Pick 3 (7-5/6-3)

Race 4 - Uffizi Hanover has beaten these on this track earlier in the year. Needs to time that big brush right. Miller will do so at decent odds. 5W6/7/8
Pick 4(5/6-3/7-4/5/9/10-3)

Race 8 - Pick Four (3/7/10-11-3/4/7-4/8)

Race 10 - my best bet of the night is Domethatagain. He closed in 25 flat for Tetrick last week. This Allard horse has beaten both Bettors Edge and Captain treacherous earlier in the year. Sweet Lou is going to lose sometime and he also drifted a bit in the lane last week. They keep going at him hard in the 1st qtr. and that sets up well for Tetrick who knows he's got some horse this week. 4W3/8/7

Race 12 - Hi-5 -  2/7W2/7 W1/3/4

Good luck to all!!!!

Race 2 - a race without tons of speed and a favorite (Odds On Equuleus) who is coming from last. I'm going with Heston Blue Chip. Not exactly a mile track horse but he has speed for position and can get through late if he's sitting 2nd or even 3rd. He'll have a big jump on Odds On.  7W6/3/9

Race 7 - Centurion ATM is just faster than the rest here. Svanstedt is very high on this horse and says he will be leaving hard. That's good enough for me. My best bet. 1W2/5/7
Pick Four (1-1/4-4/5/11/12-2/6/8/11)

Race 12 - Designed to Be finally gets some room on the racetrack and wins this. She hasn't been able to show her best yet and Shake It Cerry has not been pushed hard and challenged. 1W11/8/4
Pick Four (1-7/10-2-4/6/7)

Race 14 - Drop The Ball has a huge brush that usually has to be perfectly timed. Last week she went to the top and was challenged throughout the mile and she won. That's a big change for her. She is very brave now and will win here with any kind of a trip. Remember Anndrovette has a miserable record at the Meadowlands. 1W5/1/3

Good luck to all!!!!

Race 4 Pick Four (5-4/9-2/4/5/7-1/4/9/10)
Trixton looks like a lock.
Perfect Alliance and Bee A Magician hold down the 5th race.
You have to look for some price horses and go deep in the 6th and 7th race.
He's a Sensation and Sing For Me George may do that in the 6th.
Rocklamation will be a big price in the 7th.

Race 7 - Pick Four - $100K Guaranteed!!! (1/4/9/10-1/6/7/9-1/2-2/3/5/10)
7th Race Rocklamtion is a nice longshot.
8th Race Bettor's Edge may be ready to beat this class of his last effort. Should be decent price. The Canucks love to bet the hometown boys.Race 9 - between Nat A Virgin and Uffizi Hanover.
Race 10 is wide open and value is there.

Race 9 Uffizi Hanover was very impressive last week. That brush beat anyone in this field. Takter is very high on this horse. Short price but solid. 2W1/3/8

Race 10 - North America Cup!!!!
For abig race, this one is extremely competitive and wide open from a betting standpoint. While the favorites Tellitlikeitis and Mcwicked raced well, they both benefited from nice rail trips. They maybe fresh, but can they go a hard mile being used 2-3 times on the outside? They're beatable.
Last week I was very impressed with Let's Drink On It and Sometimes Said.Sometimes Said drew the 10 hole and he'll have to fire out for any chance and that may be too much.
Let's Drink On It has race two super miles in a row at Mohawk. Both big no cover efforts.
Last week his middle panels were 53 2/5.
The week before he came home a last half in 53 4/5 no cover parked out.
A good trip is going to win this one.
If Let's Drink On It gets any kind of live cover he can win this at a price.
Probaly in the 8-1, 10-1 range.
That's a nice price.
Play both of those horse with the two previously mentioned horse in your pick fours.
Play for the 10th race is 5W3/2/10

Race 11 - Miramontman raced a 54 1/5 last half last week. The week before he showed big speed but didn't fade all that much against better horses than he faces tonight. With the rail he is going to be able to cut the mile or stalk the pacesetters. Odds should be decent. 1W2/5/6
Pick Four (1/2-4/8-5/9-4/6)

Race 12 - it's back to a class he has handled before for Dapper Denzil. Two starts back he won with two moves. Similar spot tonight but he will be at a decent price. 8W4/2/6

Race 13 - Donau doesn't win often but usually races big. 2nd Lasix start tonight against a so so field. Has beaten better in the past. Price should be decent. 9W5/7/6

Good Luck to all!!!!!!!

Race 1 - Rockeyed has raced well in two starts as a three year old. A decent trip gets him there with his nice brush. Not much to beat here. 6W4/2/5

Race 3 - don't believe the morning line of 10-1 on K Slater. This is a huge class drop. He's beaten better here before. Looking for him to show speed here. My best bet. 6W3/4/7
Pick Four (3/4/6-1/4/9-1/2-4)

Race 6 - Dragon Lore has gone two unbelievable miles here. He beat Meirs Hanover last time and that shows some speed and class for a 4 year old pacer. He actually faces an easier field tonight even though he moves from C to B class. 4W7/2/5

Race 7 - Ontario Success draws the 10 hole but raced great using speed in last start from the 8 hole. Gets Bartlett in the sulky and he is much better than most of the drivers in this bunch. He should show speed again and take it all. 10W3.5.4

Race 8 - Bettor Design has a nice class advantage here. A decent rip wins this. Can race on or off pace. 5W2/3/4

Good luck to all!!!

Great card with lots of eliminations to watch.
Spotted a few plays as well.
Who do you like out there???

Race 4 - Pick Four (5/7/8/10-1/2/4/7-2/6-3/6/9)

Race 6- Cougar Hall takes a nice drop in class. He's beaten much better than these before. Can go no cover and still beat these. 2W6/1/8

Race 8 - Pick Four (1/3/7-1/2/6-1/3/5-2/3)

Race 13 - Lucky Terror once again drops to the kind he usually handles and for some reason still offers a reasonable price. Three starts back he raced this class and went a big mile 1st over winning easily. Comes off an even mile after a sick scratch and he should be ready to win tonight. My best bet. 3W2/4/8

Good luck to all!!!!!

I DO OWE ALOT OF PEOPLE.   WHO GIVES A f**k I AINT PAYING.
do you still owe money for that beautiful purse you wear?

15
Do not loan Brian Carpenter any money.   He is trying to borrow from any stiff even if its 5 bucks.   Totally addicted to drugs and a real black eye for Illinois allowing these degenerates to continue racing.
Great addition to this thread.
More unsubstantiated nonsense.
