LAD This Weekend - June 20th

June 19th recap

Edge to stalk and pounce types on the Louisiana Downs main. Turf played fair as the best horses won.

Hat trick for leading rider Don Simington included a pair with trainer Jerry Cart. Two more wins for PVal.

My best bet Sefas Belle ($3.60) nabbed her 3rd win from seven starts over the local green, and she hit the board in other four grass starts. Great ride by PVal, and she’s a threat right back in the optional claiming ranks. Careless Rapture rebounded to finish a clear 2nd for fine turf trainer Mike Burgess.

June 20th preview

Weather: Partly cloudy. High 95.

Saturday’s 10-race card features four grass races, and there is a small Pick 6 carryover of $1,602.

My best bet Tee At Night (race 8) could sit the garden spot trip in her 3rd race off the shelf.

Kipper In Space (race 10) is the Longshot Play of the Day. He is back at a better distance after failing in a pair of extended sprints. A stalking trip under Simington is expected.

My daily analysis has been added to the LAD site.
