Listen, if you're not on the Daily Racing Forum, there's something wrong with you.
00:06
And we got our guy Gino Bacola with us again on C2C.
00:10
You can follow him on Twitter at itsmeginob.
00:15
That is awesome.
00:16
All right, Gino.
00:17
Good to see you.
00:18
Let's start with the spa on Saturday.
00:22
You got a couple of plays for us.
00:24
Why don't we start with race seven?
00:26
What's going on there?
00:27
Yeah, we got a couple for Saturday.
00:29
This is one of the big races on the card.
00:31
It's race number seven.
00:33
I like a horse in here that's eight to one on the morning line named Carson's Run.
00:36
A horse who was very good last year at two, and then his first start this year at three,
00:41
had some trouble.
00:42
But he really took a big step forward in that second start.
00:45
That's what we want to see.
00:46
And I think he's primed and ready to step up and face the big boys in this one.
00:49
So he'll offer you some nice value there at around eight to one on the morning line.
00:54
I think I got one more for you tomorrow at Saratoga, right?
00:57
And that's going to be in race number 11, I believe.
01:00
That's the big race of the day.
01:01
That's the Whitney.
01:02
That's where you're going to see National Treasure, who won last year's Preakness.
01:06
He's going to be a big favorite in that race.
01:09
But I think a horse, Bright Future, the number nine, who is five to one on the morning line,
01:14
can sit a really nice trip.
01:16
I love patterns.
01:17
I like to play patterns, teams, sports like that.
01:20
I like when you can see that horse is kind of peaking and coming into the right race.
01:25
That's going to be the case tomorrow with Bright Future.
01:27
So we got an eight to one shot and a five to one shot for you, a couple at Saratoga.
01:31
So trying to take out the heavy in that race 11.
01:35
Why don't you like that big name horse, Treasure, that everybody's talking about?
01:40
It's a huge field, and there's a lot of other speed, early speed in there.
01:44
National Treasure is very quick, and that's the way he runs.
01:47
His running style is a fast, early, early pace horse.
01:50
There's horses like Arthur's Ride to the outside, maybe two or three others that are
01:55
as quick or possibly even quicker than National Treasure.
01:58
I think if he wins that race, he's going to have to work very, very hard, and it's just
02:02
not worth the price that he will be from a gambling standpoint.
02:06
I want to look for horses that are going to be sitting in the spot right behind those
02:10
horses in front.
02:11
That's where I think Bright Future is going to be at around five to one.
02:14
All right.
02:15
So race seven, the six horse, Carson's Run.
02:19
You can get it at eight to one right now, and race 11 on Saturday at the spa, the nine
02:25
horse, Bright Future, and you can taste it at five to one right now.
02:29
Let's move out west to Surf and Turf Del Mar, and we've got two races on Saturday that you
02:38
like.
02:39
Let's start with race number two.
02:42
This race, the number three, I will be shocked if Demotivate is close to that three to one
02:47
morning line.
02:49
He is right now.
02:50
He may get bet down and be a little bit shorter because this horse, Scott, was so, so impressive.
02:55
He had a slow start, and then from the outside, he moved about four or five lengths wide all
03:01
the way up to take the lead, and then he got challenged multiple times, and he just kept
03:06
putting horses away and kicking on.
03:08
He looked like he was just kind of playing with horses out there.
03:11
Every time someone came up to him, he just sort of extended and had another gear.
03:14
I was very, very impressed with that one.
03:17
That can hopefully get you started out at Del Mar.
03:19
Race number two, the number three, who's three to one on the morning line.
03:23
We can do one of those old school traditional daily doubles where we go back to back, and
03:28
we give you a winner of race number two and then race number three at Del Mar, and this
03:33
one will be a much bigger price.
03:35
If we can look at Cardiff Crack and the races this horse has run going long on the turf,
03:42
that's why he will fit really well in that spot, and if he is anything close to that
03:46
15 to one morning line price, Scott, that could be one of those real day maker horses,
03:51
and that's what's great about horse racing.
03:53
You can see when we're playing these odds, we're playing horses that are three to one,
03:57
five to one, eight to one, 15 to one.
04:00
You don't have to win as often when you're playing prices like this.
04:04
I love that, and I also know that Gina likes to dabble in the NFL, which started last night,
04:12
but you're looking at a future here on the Packers.
04:16
Yep, and we're going to go under.
04:18
The Packers win total has gotten all the way up to nine and a half, so think about that.
04:24
The Packers could finish the season nine and eight battling for a wild card spot, and you
04:28
could still win your under at a plus 112 price right now.
04:32
You go through their schedule.
04:34
They've got tough games.
04:35
They play Philly games at the Rams at Tennessee.
04:38
That might be tough.
04:39
They play Houston and Detroit back, you know, Detroit home and away.
04:43
Houston, they get it home.
04:44
Coming off the bye, they go at Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, at Detroit, at Seattle,
04:51
New Orleans.
04:52
That is not an easy schedule for this team.
04:54
I think they're solid, but they're still young, and they don't really have a lot of veteran
04:57
presence, so I'm going to go under there.
05:00
For everyone, as we get ready to finish up here, make sure you head to drf.com and shop.drf.com
05:06
for all the products you need to help when you're handicapping the races.
05:10
Let's crush it this weekend, Scotty.
05:12
Gino, my man.
05:13
Great stuff.
05:14
Have a great weekend, buddy.
