Miller hoping Lucky Jim minds his manners
Thursday, November 10, 2011 - by Tom Kelley, publicity director, Balmoral Park


Crete, IL --- A classy and well matched field of seven older trotting stars, led by 2009 Dan Patch Award winner Lucky Jim, will square off in Saturday night

[pezz97]

The Pick 4 is changed for sat night. it will be on Races 7-10 with a 30K Guarantee

Good Luck guys... 

[pezz97]

Race#5 2 year old filly-  #1 Podges Lady- Been taking on the best in the country, now back at balmoral and should just crush these. use #5 Princess Cruiser who is getting better and #7 Sleazy Does it who has been really sharp off the layoff underneath


Race#6  2 year old colts- Talk about 3rd tier Quality in this field -  Going to take a shot with #5 Peck Blue Chip- Raced great at Lex with Yannick in the bike against lesser, and just hoping that yannick is the Key. #9 Star Recruit - really sharp now and had a real good 3rd against the 2 year old champ Sweet Lou. #3Fridaynightflight- Got the bye and has been really good at Indy, Also ran second to Sweet Lou there.

Race#7- 3 year Old Fillies- #4 Swinging Beauty- been taking on the best 3 year olds in the country and has held her own. None of them are in here and she should roll this field. Use #6 Honkey Tonk Woman- Same as the above as who she has faced, but not as good against them and #1 Fresh idea. you get Brennan here and the rail so why not , underneath ( Swinging Beauty a single to start the pick 4 )


Race#8 - FFA Trot #1 Lucky Jim- If he doesn't break should win, but not sure he will stay flat. # 5 Hot Shot Blue Chip The Next best horse in here

Race#9 - FFA #4 Foiled again- 7/2 morning line??? I can only wish I could get that. Been in every dance this year and has been right there in everyone of them. Couldn't get by Bettor Sweet in the BC on a night where no one could close, set the track record last week at Indy, one of the gamest horses I have ever seen #7 Bettor Sweet- Was on top of the FFA ranks early in the year, and tailed off only to upset in the BC. Only 2 horses I can use


Race#10 3 year old colts   #1 Betterthancheddar- Sharpest horse in this race and Brennan back aboard from the rail #5 Hugadragon- I see this going just like the BC elims, will be there thru-out but unable to beat Cheddar. Big Bad John has tailed off bad and is a pitch for me


Good Luck

[Hugh Jass]

JMO but Lucky Jim drawing the rail is no help. If MM does happen to baby him

thru the 1st turn he could sweep em but I think I'll look at someone else.

I agree, there will be some hot chicks I much rather look at than Marcus.
(although MM does have a fan club of young chicks, maybe they will be out Sat.)

AGED PACE: I see a lot of speed in here. Foiled Again may have to come from off the pace. I'm not a big fan of One More Laugh or his new pilot, but that was a huge mile in Indiana last time. He was out a looooooong time and hung real tough. Atochia will love the long stretch and new driver. 4/3678

PK4 looks cheap: 4/145/4/1235

Good luck to the Brown stable with SOMETHING FOR DOC 

[careless hal]

Race 5 #1  Podges Lady looks to have a big edge, I'd rather see GB driving her, not the other horse though.  #2 No Respect  won't get any and is on the improve, brutal trip last.  #3 Starlana-another getting better with every start  #7 Sleazy Does It- very honest.

Race 6  #3 Fridaynightflight-only 1 start out of 14 out of the money
#6 Caviart Key- out closed last

Race 7  #1 Fresh Idea- got to go with GB here.  #4 Swinging Beauty has kept good company, but also shows that she often falls short when facing easier foes she should beat.

RAce 8  #1 Lucky jim could crush these.  Odds might be too low to play,so I',looking at 5-6-7

RAce 9  #4 Foiled Again-looks far thebest here---but the best doesn't always win. #6 St Elmo Hero-- don't think he has ever lost a race at Balmoral.  This could be a first. #7 Bettor Sweet-beat top one in Breeder's Crown, might do it again

RAce 10  #1 Beterthancheddar-very sharp now.  #3 Big Bad John-commited suicide last.  #5 Hugadragon-only a well timed move from victory.  Super long shot  #10 Shaddyshark Hanover-don't laugh.  Will need some foolishness by others from the 10 hole, but has a faster record than any of them.

Good luck to all poster's horses!!!
