Analysis by The Grey Stable's Tony Lasinski

For Staurday, March 18, 2006

Race 1) 30,000 CL
(7) COUNTRY ROGUE N closed with good pace in fast no chance mile from post #10, prior sharp uncovered effort (5) BACK OFF and (3) REAL SPARKS are watch list horses from same race closing in 27.0 in fast last quarter (2) MONTAUCK steps up for team Lachance after leaving from post #8 getting shuffled and offering good late pace (6) EXTENDER N continues to find ways to loose and would be wary to play on top even on the class drop

Race 2) Four Leaf Clover – 2nd Leg (D)
(6) PACIFIC RENEGADE offered sharp pace on both ends in improved effort (3) RODDY’S BAGS AGAIN had traffic issues in the stretch, should get the trip again (2) HOP SING tired in the stretch after two move effort on the return, should be tighter but will be overbet again
(7) FLORIDA BOY watch list horse for brush past quarter to fast half in pressured mile, expect closing effort

Race 3) Four Leaf Clover – 1st Leg (D)
(2) JENNAS CHOICE sharpest horse on the grounds, nice mutual on him last week, not any more (1) ENTRY- should offer good value - SHU HANOVER must overcome his nasty break habit but major threat if he behaves, TRUE FORCE came home in blistering 54.2 at Freehold off slow half in no chance mile and gets 1st time Ledford (8) FATES’S PLACE sharp uncovered effort but loses Miller and feel a rough trip ahead with Campbell

Race 4) nw 12,500
(7) SOUTHWIND APEX last 4 races in detention comments: empty, mild, flat, no pop, last line out of detention : uncovered game, drops and gets Sears (2) TARVER HANOVER offered decent effort off the scratch sick and major threat with any improvement (4) JOHNNY BE COOL N obviously not the same horse we saw early last year but drops off no chance mile form post #10 but offered 26.3 3rd quarter (3) SEEKING THE GOLD N significant drop and threat with trip but probably be overbet

Race 5) nw 17,800
(2) THE PREACHER PAN offered good pace when free in 1st start back (1) APACHE HOTSPUR continues his good form for Willis barn, stays close from the rail (4) ARTS MOUSE uncorked big move off fast fractions (5) NUCLEAR BREEZE took some money last week and broke while leaving, another shot

Race 6) 60,000-75,000 CLHC (D)
(7) BUST OUT 1st start for Rucker and Sears chooses over the #5, may get nice trip (10) ALLSTAR BLUE JEAN exploded off the hot fractions to new life mark but goes in Detention tonight (9) WILS SCOOTER A big speed attempt in 3rd US start, may have to race this one off the pace with inside speed (1) STOCK MARKET WIZ went uncovered prompting fast pace and didn’t tire all that badly, probably content to sit this week

Race 7) nw 27,500
(2) HOLBORN HANOVER Brennan’s choice of 3 drops on his return on lasix after impressive qualifier (6) DELIVER THE GOODS Exit 16W winner returns after 3 weeks and probably content to close (10) KING SANDS N one of our big plays last week off our watch list, Miller will probably float him out for position (7) HUMMER N beaten favorite offered sharp pace off dull cover, should be set up for good closing trip

Race 8) 30,000 CL
(4) WESTERN GEM the king of trips makes 1st start for team Lachance in sharp form (8) ARTS REGARDS sharp himself of late but negative trainer change (9) PACIFIC BLUE JEAN little shot in last in fast race, prior sharp uncovered try (5) CAM STRAIGHT Brennan’s choice over the #6, should be tighter in 2nd start off short layoff

Race 9) 50,000 CL (D)
(3) NEVADA YANKEE 1st start for Rucker, keeps Sears choice of 4 off 2 move effort (7) CANUSEEME BOW was no match for Cartman in last but maybe able to reverse fortunes (6) CARTMAN steps up again in career form but risky chalk off the Laterza claim for barn that is still not off the schneid and claims many from trainers hard to improve on (2) PERFECT PANDEROSA offered good late pace against #6 in 1st start for Czermann

Race 10) nw 12,500
(4) CAUSEWAY BAY STAR in a field aching to be beaten, lets take a shot with this chestnut import who gets Sears in his 1st BigM start (2) YOU TELL GORDY has regressed since his first couple starts and will get overbet on the dropdown (8) JUDGE CAM another who drops since last here (1) KING TUTPANKHAMEN can stay close from the rail and can trip out

Race 11) nw 17,800
(5) JEREMIAH J drops off no chance mile getting buried but still offered sharp 27.0 last quarter
(3) ARMBRO BARNES got buried, offered sharp pace when free (7) PICK A TRAIL no shot last start at Freehold in ultra fast race, returns at more reasonable level and gets reunited with Sears (2) WESTERN PRINCE steps up slightly off sharp- effort

Race 12) nw 12,500
(1) TONI’S FUTURE watch list horse uncovered effort in fast 3rd quarter (6) MEMORY BOOK another watch list horse got used hard then faced pressure and held well in improved effort
(3) KURAHAUPO KRUZAR N steps up from game effort from post #1 (4) BOO YAH sharp sweep coming home in 26.4 in 1st start off layoff

Race 13) 40, 000 CL
(10) BUSTER SEELSTER steps up off sharp speed attempt from post #9 losing to long shot pocket horse (4) ITS NOT LUCK goes in for a tag after respectable effort coming home in 26.0 in tough field (2) HONEYBURNER remains sharp but may have to go the uncovered route
(8) SPORTS FANTSY beaten favorite found it hard to close in fast last quarter, reclaim by Coy
