Fair Grounds Recap – March 1st
A tale of two weather days. Fast and firm through first five races, then the rains hit. Sloppy track for races six through eight, and the final two races were scrapped due to unsafe conditions. Main played fair, and the lone turf (7.5f) race run was nabbed in wire job fashion.
Another nice route win by promising 3yo Fast Alex. He could be headed to the Louisiana Derby.
On the analysis front, I got home top Fast Alex (best bet #1, .40). I also tabbed the 6th race exacta (.20).
Fair Grounds Preview – March 5th
A 9-race program will be run on Friday at the Fair Grounds. Sunny skies are expected with a high temperature of 62.
Three turf races are on the docket, and grass racing should be given the green light if the weather forecast holds.
The allowance feature on the main includes Ide Like A Double. The Louisiana bred has been on a steady stakes diet and has had the misfortune of running into Star Guitar numerous times. His main rival is Flashy Wise Cat, and the latter tries a route of ground after a pair of sharp sprint wins here.
My daily full cards from Fair Grounds are available through Today’s Racing Digest (free sign up). I also have a Digest free pick page, and my Friday free selection is the 8th race from Fair Grounds.
