LA Times Value Play:
Race 6: Impression at 4-1 is value given this horse, in this race, should be the 9/5 favorite in my book. Trainer William Spawr and jockey Tiago Pereira won two in a row at this distance at Del Mar and lost the horse to a claim to Peter Miller for $10k. Next out Sparr reclaimed the horse off a 3rd place finish at Santa Anita for $12,500. The first work off the claim in October saw a best of the day 46 second workout. 1st start in two months this trainer wins 20% off the bench and an impressive 47% in the money. Again value does not always mean a big price, it means a better price than we should get!
Value Plays for Today:.
Race 1: Galwalkintoabar gets Pyfer today after losing on the line last out at Golden Gate. Early speed the trainer takes the blinkers off today to leave more oomph for the runway stretch at Los Al. A sharp work for a trainer who is 38% in the money this year and 1 for 2 taking blinkers off.

Typos happen and I do my best not to make them. Always read through my writeups to make sure the posted numbers are correct. I list Pick 4, Pick 5 selections and also a listing of all plays for each race. If there are any differences, please let me know.
*Horses listed in brackets are for added coverage if wanted and for exotics.
For races where I only have one or two selections I usually like to KEY the top choice with the second choice and an outside for trifectas.
When I have three horses selected in a Pick 4 or Pick 5 consider them for Trifecta boxes and for superfecta boxes use the 3 selections with the highest priced horse with good form or top tier jockeys riding, especially if they give a price. Rolling Pick 3 and doubles using selections.

“Bíonn grásta Dé idir an dialait agus an talamh.”
