TRI’s Picks May 12 Balmoral

Balmoral Park Pick 4, Races 10-13, Saturday, May 12, 2012

On Sunday, we had one winner, but it was not a bet, Rehab Mountain ($7.80). We were very close with Furious Five, who was a narrow second at 20-1. Hopefully, Balmoral will hold the prices for the Pick 4. Good luck!

$2 Play: 2,8/3/1,9/3 = $8

Analysis:

Race 10- (2) Bring It On Kaajay has been very sharp in lower company. He finally steps up and will be a big competitor tonight. (8) Jack Apple has already proven himself in this class. He broke from post 7 against this bunch and closed to win. He should be able to show that talent once more.

Race 11- (3) Edita Hanover paced a hellish first over mile in similar company. From post 8, she was hung badly and quit. She gets post relief this week and should be able to improve.

Race 12- (1) Ideal Nectarine was in a full on speed duel last time. She made a move at the half and dueled for the lead for the rest of the mile. This Pennsylvania shipper will be in the race. (9) Cole Blue made a strong first over move from post 9 last time. She dueled with Ideal Nectarine and did not quit badly. She is the horse that is likely to blow out this entire sequence.
 
Race 13- (3) Ideal Joe paced a grueling first over journey last time. As long as she gets a better trip, she will finish in the top three.
