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
