Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

Four trials for the All West Futurity dominate today’s program with Murray Creek Stable, a frequent winner of past All West classics, starting five of the 32 entrants.

The card also includes an attractive feature with a couple of impressive recent winners stepping up in class to meet long-distance standout SHAWN BOY, who’s had a pair of tuneups after a nine-month layoff. The view from here is that, if he can run second over a muddy track in last fall’s Inland Empire Marathon, then he’s a winner tonight.

Here are tonight’s selections

FIRST: $5 to win on MANITO CLUB and $2 daily doubles pairing her with WAKE UP SASSY BOY, INVESTIN IN FESTIN and EXPLODE BYE YOU ($6).

FIFTH: $5 quinellas pairing WAKE’S CHOICE with HADDEN’S HOPE and TOMMY AMA ($10).

SIXTH: $10 to win on KLACY. Divide any winning to win on SENSATIONAL KNIGHT in the seventh and SPOKANE CHARLIE in the eighth.

NINTH: $10 to win on SHAWN BOY.

TENTH: $10 to win on STALY ROAD and $1 trifectas pairing him with every combination of TOTALLY COMMITTED, PHOENIX HEAT and SUNNY ROAD ($6).

Original bankroll: $2,000.

Saturday’s result: Lost $26.40.

Sunday’s result: Lost $27.

Present bankroll: $1,917.70.
