Doug Henwood (The NUMBERCRUNCHER)'s Picks

Race 1

1-8-10-9

(#1) A SPLASH OF GREEN – looking good since that July 24 qualifier. 27.4 adj closing quarter in last race ties as best with #8 UPTO LAURA HANOVER. That one is definitely the one to beat and I’m thinking J-Mac & my pick can do just that. Let’s take em both to get the early P5 going in the right direction.

Race 2

1-2-5-3

(#1) THREE SIX ZERO – these “Doug Days” of summer certainly produce some nice racing & here’s another leg of the OSS Gold for 2YO Trotting C&G. Must be nice to be going for $150K purse…AGAIN. I’m looking to upset the “hyped” horse, #2 UNSTABLE GENIUS. Done nothing wrong so far but the distance to others may have shrunk. I’m already a fan of #1 THREE SIX ZERO & his 27.1 closing effort last time ties with the likely board favourite.

Race 3

8-3-5-2

(#8) TREASURE KING– Team Jamieson have another nice 2YO with this filly. I liked the change in tactics last time in the Pure Ivory Final, where Jody took her right to the front. We’ll likely see that again here from post #8 & a little more in the tank this time is all it will take to see it through. Still shows best closing quarter for this group with the 27 flat taken July 30. The one that beat her last time, REBEL MOON looks tough in the other division so I’ll give TREASURE KING a slight edge here, even from the outside post.

Race 4

3-2-7-10

(#3) DIRTY DIANA – boy that was a clunker Aug 8 in her return off the qualifier. Prior to the re-launch, she was racing very well so, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and toss that last start. The time itself was not bad so hopefully they will just use it as a tune up & we will see the real DIRTY DIANA tonight. That girl showed us a 26.3 closing quarter May 23 & that would do here. She’s a nice standardbred.

Race 5

7-4-10-1

(#7) FAVORITISM – I don’t feel good about this one but that won’t stop me from having an opinion. My selection is trending in the right direction, J-Mac returns and we must always respect connections like trainer Nick Gallucci & owner Millar Farms. The breeding is there & she’s just getting started with only 8 lifetime starts behind her. Her 27.1 closing number 2 starts back is 2 ticks behind #6 UNA MOMENTA(let me down last week) & #10 ADINA HANOVER( dealing with another tough post). One of many who could take this one down.

Race 6

2-1-9-6

(#2) MY GIRL FRIDAY – impressive prior to last race & the break in stride. Should at least be top-half placed early. From there, the 25.4 closing number from July 24 gets top marks here.

Race 7

5-3-2-6

(#5) REBEL MOON – just scampered home last week in the Pure Ivory Final. Takes on yet another TEAM JAMIESON entry & either could get it done. Visually I like what I saw last week and as per usual, the opportunistic James Macdonald has found a good spot.

Race 8

2-4-3-7

(#2) HIGHLAND DELIGHT – only the one Mohawk start available to calculate but it’s a good one. July 31, she started in post 8 & left poorly. Still well-back by the half, she’d picked up 6 lengths so that’s a big +6 middle move. She finished up the last quarter in an adjusted 27.4 which is only 2 ticks behind group leader #4 BETTERNOTMACHME & a usable race from further back on June 20. LPR returns & they look like a fit here in Leg 1 of the latest Pop Up Series.

Race 9

5-4-2-3

(#5) ABSOLUTION – along with #4 LETS N JOY N, we’re definitely the “cream” of this very nice F&M Open contest. Slight edge for me to ABSOLUTION. I’ve said it before, I love a horse in top, top form & one sign is when a good closer transitions to using early speed & continues to be successful. We’ve seen that recently with ABSOLUTION & the numbers back it up. She’s got the best speed number (54.3) & she always is going forward to finish it off. 17/20 in the money finishes this year and only outdone by the competition, LETS N JOY N & her 18/19. WOW! The table is set for one more GREAT harness race!!!

Race 10

3-10-9-8-1

(#3) LADYTERRA – gets massive post relief & main rival SANTAFES APPETITE is going the other way & lands in post 10 tonight. LADYTERRA’s 26.4 adj closing quarter is 2^nd in here behind only that same SANTAFES APPETITE & post alone gives my selection a slight edge. They both need to be on your multi-leg & exotic tickets.
