Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch
G J’s Playgirl, fresh from a front-running victory over rival 3-year-old fillies in the Princess Breeders’ Cup, will try to duplicate that triumph today, meeting older fillies and mares in the Dishman Handicap.
She has the rail, but Maheras Turn, beaten favorite in the Sweetheart Handicap, and mud-loving Pretty Peggy Slew will keep her busy, possibly paving the way for the late charge of last year’s distaff champion, Montani.
Not Never, squeezed back at the start in his debut, looks like a good way to start your twin trifectas.
Here are today’s selections:
FIRST: $2 daily doubles, wheeling RED TREASON in the first race to the field in the second race ($14), and $10 to win on him.
SIXTH: $10 to win on HARBOR FIRE and $5 quinellas tying her to GEE OH DEE and REGAL’S PRECIOUS ($10).
SEVENTH: $2 twin trifectas combining NOT NEVER with every combination of CALSPUR, TICKET TO SEATTLE and LAST OF THE GOLD twice ($24). Exchange to SHARPSIDER paired with DOC SHAH’S MAJESTY and CHINESE PIRATE both ways.
TENTH: $1 trifectas pairing MAUI ME and RETURN KEY both ways with SHAHMEKA, CLEVER PURSUIT, TOO TRUE SLEW and EAST HILL LADY ($8).
Original bankroll: $2,000.
Present bankroll: $2,037.10.
