Jeff's Contenders 9-17-22
6- does well on all size tracks, in good form recently
2- likes hitting the board and stretches out
5- sophomore filly is prone to the break, threat with a mistake free mile
RACE 2
5- I liked him last week and he got tired late, try again
4- comes in from Canada where he was a top player in the Opens at Frasier
6- nice horse, throws big time miles here and there
RACE 3
1- looks like a winning situation here, rail draw and good form
2- no chance last week from the outside against some veterans, better spot now
7- top barn and he’s been good on the smaller ovals, likely to hit the super somewhere
RACE 4
2- goes off Lasix which is interesting, threw a good mile last Saturday
3- CC sticks and you’ve got to like that, worth a look if the price is right
8- gets a pretty inexperienced driver which is a knock, fast enough with a trip
RACE 5
2- three year old in with some more seasoned foes, tab the tote
8- great try last time at a nice price, early speed likely again
5- winless this year, racing well but I’m more inclined to use underneath
RACE 6
5- classy trotter sure looks good in this spot
6- has been at the top of his game since making that break
2- can grind a mile when need be, usable
RACE 7
1- bobbled at Yonkers and that cost him in the end, back to his preferred oval
4- drops again looking for a wake up call
5- he’s beaten better than these in the past, class could show up at this level
RACE 8
9- I loved him two weeks ago and he got brutalized, took a week off and should be fresh and ready to fire
6- looks like he’s gonna be a nice claim for this barn
4- took a direct route last time and just missed, in fine fettle
RACE 9
5- double drops, class is likely to show here
9- he’s been knocking on the door, post hurts this time
6- this guy ran me out of a large pick six ticket last Saturday, steps up again off that win
RACE 10
3- needed that last one, should be all systems go now
2- fast horse fits well, inside draw doesn’t hurt either
6- he’s been lightly raced this year, qualifier was sharp
RACE 11
5- quirky mare might find her best stride at this bottom condition
3- got stung getting to the front in her first go round here, easier trip this time
9- no clue what to do with her in this spot, dangerous trainer/driver combo
RACE 12, 13, 14 & Multis
8- drops down in class and gets a driver upgrade, can leave if need be
10- also takes a significant class plunge, has to work out a trip from the ten post
9- found a winning level and dusted them last Saturday, will be closing late
Race 13
6- has been in great form all year, looks like a big threat in this compact field
3- out of the same barn as the above, solid chance
1- third start on Lasix and he’s been sharp for a while now
Race 14
9- take a look at this driver change, gets the nod in the nightcap
3- I’m waiting on her to blow up a toteboard one night, longshot special
8- that 15-1 ML looks inviting, could come on late if the pace is honest
