Friday’s Best Bet:  

Friday’s Longshot Play:  (2) BLOCKBUSTER – RACE 2

 

RACE 1:   4- LIGHT THE LAMP; 5 – FOUR ACES HIGH; 1 – GALVASTON;  2- EXCEED

RACE 2:   2 – BLOCKBUSTER; 4- COLEYVILLE;  5- BLONDEONAMISSION; 6 – PAPA’S PLACE

At 10 to 1 in the morning line, Blockbuster, making his second start of the season and moving out to his best distance of 1 1/16 miles is a price play in a race filled with horses who rarely win. He only had three starts in 2022 but has run well at Woodbine in the past.

RACE 3:  1- MANITOULIN ISLAND;  2- FAVORITE CHANNEL; 4 – SHE’S SO COLD; 3 – SOME LIKE IT HOT

RACE 4:    5 – KHOZZY VALENTINE; 1 – MISS BRENTWOOD;  7 – NO WHAMMIE; 3 – MIDNIGHT MEADOW

RACE 5:   3- PLEASURE’S GOLD;  5 – SPANISH BAY; 2- WINYAH BAY; 1 – SWIRLING DANCER

Stakes winner Pleasure’s Gold lays over this field and she is also a late, running type with lots of pace to run at.

RACE 6: 3 – SIX SENSE; 2 – SIGN OF BEAUTY; 5- CALABRIAN QUEEN;  – ADMISSABLE

RACE 7:   6- MACHINA; 8 – TAKE CHANCES;  5- SARAH’S DANCER; 4 – HOLIDAY WITH AMY
