The Meadowlands Racing

For Saturday, May 14, 2005

Analysis/Selections by: Grey Stable Tony

Race One: NJSS – 1st Leg (3YO C&G)
(5) ELEVEN AM finds himself in Cosmo’s barn this year, was 3 for 4 at the BigM last year, improving qualifiers and the last minute switch to Ledford. (4) JO PAS SHARK more race ready than most of these, goes into the Jim Campbell barn after getting off slow and having to go 3rd over in the Berry’s Creek. (1) ROCKNROLL HANOVER qualified sharply charging home in 26.3 but may need another and perhaps no betting value.

Race Two: Graduate (FFA) – Elim (D)
The first Graduate Elim---5 out of 7 qualify for the final and no real need to go into any in depth analysis of elims …
(1) BOULDER CREEK brushes early. (6) LIFE SOURCE fires out as usual. (4) EATON ROAD KILL roughed up in the Dan Patch, will probably content to close.

Race Three: Graduate (FFA) – Elim (D)
The first Graduate Elim---5 out of 7 qualify for the final and no real need to go into any in depth analysis of elims …
(3) CASIMIR CAMOTION should be on the move early. (1) HOLBORN HANOVER sharp 27.0 close 4th over, closer will try to stay close from the rail. (5) MINI ME never attempted to leave with inside speed last week, should be blasting this week .

Race Four: Non-winners of $15,000
(7) TENNANT IN CHIEF a watch list horse for 26.2 close in fast last quarter. (1) THE PREACHER PAN makes his 4 year old debut after big uncovered effort in qualifier but Silva’s usually need one or two. (6) IMAGE OF DAWN improvement since lasix added, may chose to leave.

Race Five: NJSS – 1st Leg (3YO C&G)
(6) VILLAGE JOLT Woodrow Wilson champ comes off of 3 improving qualifiers and looks ready to roll but will be overbet. (1) JOHN ADAMS should be close early from the rail with his speed. (7) REALISCAPE got off poorly and wasn’t a factor in the Berry’s Creek, should be a factor if Brennan can get him into the race earlier.

Race Six: Non-winners of $15,000
(4) PARADISE LOVER BOY returns to condition race and former regular pilot Ron Pierce after showing good late pace closing in 26.4 in fast race. (5) THE GLOBE Campbell’s choice of 3 draws better but still will probably get just a minor share. (7) ALLNIGHTCARDGAME went uncovered after getting hard used in fast opening quarter and held well.
(10) DRAGONDOTCOM left and tucked from post #7 then came uncovered in game mile, Berry fires him out looking for the pocket trip.

Race Seven: $100,000-$125,000 Claiming Handicap
(9) ART MAKER watch list horse for closing in 26.2 in fast last quarter in first start for raging Rucker stable. (6) THEMISTOKLES another watch list horse from same race tired after game first over effort into fast last half, may be able to work out a better trip. (2) MIDNIGHT GAMBIT closed well 2nd over in 26.3 and draws further inside but may have to rough it. (10) THREE QUARTER CAM used hard in needed race but things wont get any easier from here.

Race Eight: $50,000 Claiming Pace
(6) CAMS PRIMETIME Silva raises him in class after sharp score parked from post #10, if Silva can just figure out his little nuances. (1) GINNY’S FIVE SIX sharp for all trainers recently, beat many of these last week, should sit and stay close from the rail. (8) KING TUTPANKHAMEN got some speed work in and is a watch list horse for being parked past the quarter to fast half, may revert to closing strategy. (10) SAND HILL N Rucker raises him back in class off the dropdown score, some work to do from post #10.

Race Nine: $30,000 Claiming (D)
(2) ARTS ADVANTAGE Oakes puts Miller back on after Campbell got him roughed up from post #9, look for early brush. (4) WILDCAT FEVER goes for 4 straight and just got up from the pocket trip, may be overbet here. (8) WARLOCK APPRENTICE Cassar drops him back to price of claim after tough trip going 3 wide off tiring cover.

Race 10: Winners-Over $25,000 (D)
(6) SHU HANOVER horse is sharp as a tack and on everyone’s watch list after closing in 25.1 in fast last quarter. (3) CANYON WIND returns from good closing effort in the Dan Patch, will look to brush early and control things but must hold off Shu Hanover. (5) ARMBRO ACQUIRE another watch list horse for sharp close 25.3 in aforementioned fast last quarter.

Race 11: $50,000-$53,000 Claiming Handicap Pace
(2) QUICK AND DEADLY Silva steps him up off ez win from post #9 in fast mile on the ship in. (10) WESTERN HOT SHOT scored easily from post #1, Pierce will try to get involved early from this spot. (7) ESCAPEWITOUTATRACE raised in class after racing gamely in last two without a victory to show for it. (3) RAKIN N THE BUCKS is bumped up off the Ledford claim after getting shuffled then offering sharp 27.2 close.

Race 12: $30,000 Claiming (D)
(4) HOTINDIANANITE has really stepped up his game in last two and hard to ignore for this combo on Saturday night. (8) GENERAL CHALLENGE lowered in claiming price from his Midwest efforts and will be dangerous if left uncontested on the lead. (1) SPARE TIME CARL very consistent in-the-money horse has shown good early speed at the Meadows and should be close to the action from the rail. (9) ATLANTIC SUNSET A came home in 55.1 and should be a factor if Miller can get him involved earlier.

Race 13: Non-winners of $15,000
(3) DAVIDS RAINBOW Gingras stays over the #6, was not involved from post #9, may have to go first over though. (6) THE ON-NIGHT PAN got some serous speed work and tired late, gets the switch to Pierce. (10) O NARUTAC MAGIC watch list horse for game 1st over effort in fast last half. (4) CASEYS BONANZA tucked from post #10 and shuffled some then offered some good late pace, should be firing out again.
