Tampa Bay Downs Selections - 12/19/08

Prime Wager Results 1-5 (20%) -$5.20 (1-1-2) (80% ITM)

On Thursday, in the 4th and 8th, my prime wagers, Saucon Meadow and R Salty Vet had to settle for place and show respectively. My soft wager in the 6th, Banyon Tree, won and paid $7.00. Among my contenders only selections, there were two winners (1st and 2nd) and three winning exacta combinations (the 3rd $17.00, the 9th $19.60 and the 10th $10.40). So it goes...

1st - Contenders Only - Exacta Key Box 1/4,5

2nd - Contenders Only - Exacta Key Box 6/2,4

3rd - Contenders Only - 2,7,9

4th - A prime wager, Diva Marie (7). The speedy Diva Marie should be loose at the front and speed has been holding up well in the first week of the meeting. Dale Bennett is great with layoffs and dropdowns and the lightly raced Diva fits these conditions best. Andrew Ramgeet rides. Save with exacta box 7/5,11.

5th - A prime wager, R Vicarious Girl (5). None of these can touch her 36.18 for the final three panels at CD in last. Has been very consistent and won 2 of 3 on the grass at TAM. Bullet work at 3F ices it. Ziadie and Homeister (the 2000 Club Girl) team up here for a big win.

6th - Contenders Only - 1,5,7

7th - A prime wager, Doctor Carina (1). A lightly raced filly trying to find her way under the care of veteran trainer Tom Proctor (29% on the Turf), Doctor Carina tried to takem start to finish two back at Kee, then closed nicely a month later at CD. Leaves the open condition today, has been working well and should get it done with Ronnie Allen Jr. in the irons.

8th - Contenders Only - Exacta Key Box 1/7,8

9th - Contenders Only - Exacta Key Box 9/2,3

10th - Contenders Only - Exacta Key Box 1/3,8

Good luck and good racing!
