Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

On paper, the colts division of the All West Futurity looks like a two-horse race. Both trials winners won with their ears pricked. How to choose?

Invest In Festin is more seasoned. Toughy’s Gold may have more talent. In a tough call, this vote goes to Invest In Festin, who moseyed to the lead in his trial.

And, in case you haven’t noticed, 1994 training champion Helen Morgan, after a slow start, is starting to win races almost daily.

Here are today’s selections:

FIRST: $10 to win on TONZ A LADY and a $5 daily double pairing her with HOLD THE TEMPO.

FIFTH: $20 to win on BEST PLAY. Split half of winnings to win between ROSIE’S ONLY in the sixth and BABYE in the ninth.

SIXTH: $10 to win on ROSIE’S ONLY.

EIGHTH: $10 quinella pairing INVEST IN FESTIN and TOUGHY’S GOLD.

NINTH: $1 trifectas pairing BABYE to every combination of SILVER COVE, SENOR SLEW, HOPE SPRINGS and SPRING RELEASE ($12).

Original bankroll: $2,000.

Present bankroll: $1,852.90.
