Borgata Pick 5 Friday 5/8/26

Race 5 *$25,000 guarantee Pick 5

Ursula McIntyre Conso

(2) Bath Bomb moves inside after tough trips from wide posts.  Could be a key to this pick 5 – won 12 races last year.  (8) Doug’s Babe isn’t the same as last year but has a dangerous kick off best.  (1) Fearless Ginger could land the pocket with YG back.  Needs a trip to win.

Race 6 – Borgata Conso

(8) Sweet Beach Life got much better as the series went along and was live to make the Final just falling short.  Post hurts here but I think he’s a price worth trying here.  (2) Aye Aye Captain N had a nice series just found a few tougher.  Adds lasix and draws perfect – must use.  (4) Celtic Spirit N has been a little roughed up

This series but looks to blast here and control the race.

Race 7 – Ursula McIntyre Final

(2) Louie’s Girl looms a big fave again after a dominant series.  She keeps improving and looks very hard to beat.  (6) Coastal Babe won 3 of 4 and has the speed to take it to the fave early.  This is her widest post now though.  (7) Tick a Loch gets a setup again here off a nice win.  Could grab a nice share with a trip

At huge odds.

Race 8 – MGM Borgata Final

(4) Captain Albano has navigated this series to reach this point and offers value compared to his chances of winning.  4/6 line was where he showed his class and he will need it here.  (7) Mossdale Ben won this last year and has been the best horse of the series.  Post hurts but he can overcome.  (1) Coaches Corner drew inside and could be tough with that advantage.  He’s been ok this series but I prefer others on the win end.  (3) Donegal Luther has surprised many with his consistent series.  Can he step up to the top ones here?

Race 9 – CD Pace

I’d use (7) Huntress and (8) Coachellabound dropping out of the UM series despite posts.  (2) Front Page Story drops and moves inside.
