Tampa Bay Downs Selections - 03/19/08

Results 49-166 (29%) -$7.80 (49-19-25) (56.4% ITM)

On Tuesday, in the second, Show Boatin' had the lead but could not shake free of The Event Planner and had nothing left for the drive, finishing out of the money as the beaten ($1.60-1) favorite. In the 4th, Baradore ran into a wall entering he stretch, had no where to run and finished out of the money as the even money favorite. In the 9th, Robin des Concorde checked up early, recovered and lost in a photo as the $1.60 favorite. In my contenders only selections, the 3rd race exacta box returned $51.80. So it goes...

On Wednesday, there are some real standouts and several opportunities IF we make the right wagers.

1st and 2nd - DD 7,8/1,7

3rd - Exacta box 7,12

4th - Exacta box 6,8,9

5th - Win 9

6th - Tri key 8/2/3,4,7 (I'm betting $20 straight trifectas)

7th - Tri key 1,3/1,3/4,9

8th - Exacta box 6,7,12, and a Pick 3 6,7,12/1,7/9 (My only Pick 3 selection of the season.)

9th & 10 DD 1,7/9 A prime wager in the 10th and my BEST BET since Unbridled Heat ($19.00) weeks ago, Dixiana Darling (PP9). DD was clearly second best first time out, beaten by Tight Precision, who posted a 90 and was four clicks off the track record. DD put up a 70 (today's par is 65) while easing her late (she was 6 lengths clear of Omnyti who finished third). Shortens up by one panel. Bullet work at 5F on 3/11 ices it.
