Trifecta

6/11/12 BOX, 6/10/11 BOX

COMMENTS: ASCOLI PICENOs resume made it tough to go anywhere else first. WITNESS STAND a small cut back in distance could help. HOWARD WOLOWITZs speed numbers fit but wonder if turf is the preferred surface. WIN MARVEL has fared well at this level of competition.

7-8 BOX, 8-3 BOX, 3-5 BOX

Trifecta

3/7/8 BOX, 3/5/8 BOX

COMMENTS: PRESAGE NOCTURNE for sure distance is not an issue. TRAFALGAR SQUARE ran in the money 11 of 12 on turf. CONTINUOUS the distance is the question the connections are not. BYZANTINE DREAM will be coming hard at the end.

Trifecta

5/9/12 BOX, 4/5/12 BOX

COMMENTS: ROMANTIC WARRIOR won last 10 with jockey James McDonald. FOREVER YOUNG is win or bust. WALK OF STARS crushed it last out and is almost always better in the second up. FACTEUR CHEVAL just does not run bad races.

Pace makes the race. Learning a horses running style, and laying out the flow of the race can make a big difference in your handicapping.

EXACTA/TRIFECTA recommendations are based on morning line conditions which are made days in advance. We strongly recommend making additional or alternate bets using our top 4 picks based on live odds, late scratches, jockey changes, etc.
