BC FEMALE DAY....

3: THE SPRINT... This is the only chalk I'd consider on the entire card. Indian Blessing keys an exacta wheel. Wheel above all, and then with Zaftig and Intangaroo.
NOPE VENTURA WON AT 5-2
INDIAN BLESSING PLACED AT 9/5

4: TWO YEAR OLDS... ON THE TURF.
MARAM WINS AT 11-1
  • 11-1 Sugar Mom (120) Great last race and decent turf breeding. 10/1
  • 24-1 Renda (120) tough last race and good percentage at first turf. 10/1
  • 5-2 Laragh (119) SHOWED Last race was equivalent to a graded stakes. But not at low odds.

5: TWO YEAR OLDS ON THE POLY...
Any of these that pay 4-1 or better...
$24 EXACTA, $77 TRI
  • 3-2 Stardom Bound (120x2) And two great wins at this oval. WIN
  • 7-2 Sky Diva (122) obviously, except for that little matter of surface. SHOW
  • 6-1 CS Silk (120) with Robby up, last race on poly, big wins, big figs, and 15/1? OUT
  • 12-1 Dream Empress (121) Keeneland win with furious late pace. PLACE
6: THE 10-FURLONG TURF
At least 6 horses have a real shot, so naturally, I want 5-1 minimum.
  • 3-1 Wait a While (121) Obviously, but will she be at playable odds? SHOW
  • 48-1 Sealey Hill (121) got the distance, and faced good ones last. PLACE
  • 15-1 Vacare (121) finished with Wait a While last time, and priced at 3x the odds?
  • 14-1 Dynaforce (123) Wired this distance last against G1s.
  • 6-1 Maurakalana (121) All she needs is the lucky trip.
  • 12-1 Pure Clan (122) No way you can leave her out.
  • 5-2 Halfway to Heaven (124) Euro races were mighty strong.
7: THE CLASSIC
I don't believe these can really be separated. Or at least, not by much. So I'm looking for a 4-1 bet... Who will the crowd neglect?
$7 EXACTA, $34 TRIFECTA, $116 SUPER
  • 10-1 Ginger Punch (124) yes beat by the Zen lady, but long ago and in Arkansas.
  • 1-2 Zenyatta (123) has been impossible to beat in So Cal. But 3/5? That's crazy WIN.
  • 7-1 Cocoa Beach (125)  has a bullet on this surface, and showed heart at BEL. PLACE
  • 9-1 Music Note (123) as good as Zenyatta, and 6-1. SHOW
  • 6-1 Carriage Trail (124) Huge move in Keeneland blowout win. FOURTH
