Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

If it were clear whether the wet track will be watery or tiring, this might be an easy day. Runnin Tee Jay and Early Shove are excellent mudders. Frost gothe Peach isn’t bad.

However, uncertainty breeds caution just when the diminishing number of race days and the near-mint condition of the bankroll call out for bravery. For the moment, we’ll have some of each, but if it rains before sundown, you know what to do.

Here are today’s selections:

FIRST: $5 daily doubles from MIA DAR and ROSIE MAGUMBO and $2 doubles pairing the other four with her.

SECOND: $10 quinella pairing ANGEL’S MISTRESS and FANTASY BABY.

FOURTH: $20 to win on RUNNIN TEE JAY. Split half of any winnings between RUNNING EVENT in the fifth race and SLEWWILLDO in the seventh.

FIFTH: $20 to win on RUNNING EVENT. Parlay half of any winnings on SLEWWILLDO.

EIGHTH: $2 twin trifectas pairing ONERADUDE with every combination of MAC A’WAR, ROCKET’S GUN and MOP’S TOP HOP twice ($24). Exchange to PERFECT MAJESTY paired with RUNNIN WRITER and LAST KRUGERRAND both ways.

NINTH: $10 to win on PERFECT MAJESTY.
