Fairplex Closing Day Pick 9 Carryover

The ’09 Fairplex Park meet ends on Monday (Sept 28th), and I have been posting Pick 6 tickets all meet long on my pick six blog site. The $1 win Pick 9 has carried over to the final day of the meet, and it must be paid out.  The pool has reached $155,381, and I’ll take a stab at the final day carryover.

And away they go!

Race Two: #5 Bye Now (6-1) earned best last race speed rating at 6.5f, and place finisher came back to win. Handles this shorter distance. #6 Idabetabuck (2-1) was nostrilized at this 4f distance last time. I like hustling apprentice Santiago Reyes. #7 Swiss Lad (4-1) is a 4-time local winner. #2 Thunderfrmdownundr (5-2) has hit the board in both local starts.

Race Three:  #7 Wada Falls (4-1) scurries up the ladder following a clear place finish here. Mullins is 3 for 4 with horses wheeling back quickly, and Pedroza strings along. #2 Apache Annie (5-1) is 2 for 2 at this distance and meets suspect speed. Could be along in time under Martin Garcia. #3 Peace Roll (5-2) is capable of stalking and pouncing, and that style might play well in this spot.

Race Four: #1 Dances With Tigers (3-1) is back at her claimed level and sports a pair of local bullets. It’s Pedroza/Mullins again. #3 Sheza Maneater (5-2) looms the one to catch.

Race Five: Three deep in here. #2 Fri Guy (5-2) finished a clear 2nd in a local route on Sept 28th. #1 Elusive Pleasure (8-5) should flash speed from the rail.  #10 Jack Flash (5-1) won under Pedroza here last out.

Race Six: #6 Storm Brave (5-1) drops and looms the target after local show finish in the optional claiming ranks. #5 Self Insured (3-1) goes for Spawr, and he’s 18% 1st off the claim. Pedroza here, and he exits above par tally at Del Mar.

Race Seven: Two main players look like #6 Easy Moment (5-2) and #9 Amore Di Aleyna (8-5). The former attracts the leading rider, and it seems as though Santaigo Reyes chose the latter.

Race Eight: I’ll single the Pedroza fav. #2 Lion Princess (4-5) earned above par speed ratings in a pair of sharp efforts at the current meet.

Race Nine: #4 Joshua’s Dream (2-1) has won six races this year, and he scored for new trainer Jerry Hollendorfer last time. Versatile running style.

Race Ten: If I’m still alive, I feel comfortable going two deep. I’ll use Pedroza/Sise firster #4 Romance Writer (5-2), along with #10 Sheza Screamer (8-5), who exits a clear place finish here.
