Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Delta Downs - Race #3
Picks Notes
#4 Mean American She was one-paced at the tail in his debut, but she can probably step forward off that run while stretching around two turns. 15/1 ML price would be interesting.
#3 Platinum Queen She looks like the one to beat off the FG form, but she exits a fairly flat try in a SLOW race last time out. She's capable, but think she'll be overbet.
#10 Akiane's Soldier The late running sprinter stretching out angle doesn't always work out, but that might prove to be a useful step toward something better today on the move around two turns.
Race Summary Trio of longshot plays today at a track that has been producing big prices. Mean American is worth a look after trailing in her debut in a decent enough race, and moving around two turns today shouldn't hurt her.

Delta Downs - Race #6
Picks Notes
#9 Hennys Grinning Her debut try was solid when racing with cheaper, and she might get a dreamy trip spying a good pace from this outside draw while cutting back around one bend. Price spoiler?
#7 Alimony Blues Speed adds blinkers, which may or may not be a good thing in a race with some other pace. Maybe she runs them off their feet?
#6 Ova Charged The Fair Grounds bullet work certainly stands out on paper, but that was about a month ago and there's nothing published since. Probably an underlay.
Race Summary Hennys Grinning might be able to briefly settle in behind the pace before launching a run with this group, as there are at least three speed horses drawn further inside along with a couple of firsters. Price should be right to see if she can class up at this shorter trip.

Delta Downs - Race #8
Picks Notes
#6 Lookout Mountain Speed might wake up a bit on the move away from Fair Grounds, and she showed a mild rating gear in her local win with cheaper here last year. They'll probably want to go, but she can sit the first-jump trip if Orb's Soul wants to make a thing of it early.
#9 Sweet Blindness She's supposed to win this race on overall form, but I think she might have overachieved with solid groups at Fair Grounds in those October-February races. Her last two have been moves in the wrong direction, so either she bounces back today at a likely underlaid price, or she's reverting back to her more more average races. Either way, not for me.
#7 Sebs Princess She's tough to trust anywhere other than underneath, but she occasionally fires a decent one and can land a spot in the gimmicks.
Race Summary Lookout Mountain shows up with a good one every so often, and she should get right into the race out of the gate. She's worth a swing.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Harrah's Philadelphia - Race #1
Picks Notes
#4 RAKSMACH N Encouraging qualifier, races without Lasix, good fit on best.
#6 SPORTS CHARM Second at 115-1 two back, gets driver upgrade.
#3 FINAL JUSTICE Had a win and a second at the Big M in March but he's 2-44 since 2020.
Race Summary Raksmach N finished second in a qualifier after the 9yo did not finish in his prior race. He was the beaten favorite two starts back at Pocono Downs after he rallied 3-wide around dead cover on the turn and couldn't reach the 2-1 pace setter. Play 4-3 and 4-6 exactas.

The Meadows - Race #2
Picks Notes
#4 IGLARE AM Sophomore trotter broke stride as overwhelming fave, today's Best Bet.
#2 HIP HOP GRACIE Finished ahead of top one after seven months away.
#6 TEASURE GEMS K Pair of seconds from up close to the pace as a 3-year-old.
Race Summary Iglare AM rallied past the other two favorites to win off the layoff at Woodbine-Mohawk two starts ago, then broke stride on a clear lead as the 1-to-9 favorite next out. She is the one to beat if she avoids another mishap. Play 4-2 and 4-6 exactas.

Hoosier Park - Race #5
Picks Notes
#8 SKYLAR Better than victory appears, worth a playback on the class rise.
#5 MAJOR DESIRE Troubled trip two back, decent trey from second tier in follow-up.
#6 GOTHAM HANOVER Paced evenly for third in fast heat, seeks first win of year.
Race Summary Skylar was trapped in third with run, angled off the rail for run in late stretch and surged to win through a :27.2 final quarter. He can repeat in his second start of the season, so play a 5-6-8 exacta box and an 8/5,6/ALL trifecta.

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Golden Gate Fields - Race #4
Picks Notes
#3 Manila Mischief Made up ground but didn't improve position due to a slow pace in a tough spot last time; has been competitive at this level and can get a better trip here.
#6 Baby Frankie Is a head and a neck away from having won six in a row; goes for his third straight and has shown immense improvement since running for $3,200 at Pleasanton last summer.
#7 Shot of a Lifetime Made a decent run for third last time and will be much closer to the lead this go-round; big player throughout.
Race Summary Manila Mischief didn't have a chance to show late energy vs. a pedestrian pace and still made up a bit of ground; is in good form and can come calling late this time.

Golden Gate Fields - Race #6
Picks Notes
#2 Top Harbor Makes his first start since July, when he won a stakes race at Pleasanton; is 2 of 2 in his career and can get a third.
#4 Lightinthedarkness Also started last at Pleasanton and has had just one start; it was a good one as he pulled away by 7.5 lengths going five furlongs. Clearly can scoot.
#1 Tom's Song Had the same amount of vacation as Top Harbor and finished second to that one last out; on the front end from the outset.
Race Summary Top Harbor dug in toward the end of each of his starts and can fight it out well against a decent group here.

Golden Gate Fields - Race #5
Picks Notes
#2 American Royalty Stepped up in class and responded with a good third; moves over to the turf and can make a run at this distance.
#1 Side Effect Has running front-running speed going long and will be the one to catch.
#5 Mulhima Had a good stalking trip last out and was up in time for the win; can be close-up throughout.
Race Summary American Royalty is a consistent closer and has kept in good form while moving up in class; can be effective with a clean trip.
