Mohawk Picks September 3

This Saturday at Mohawk Racetrack features great stake action, including the $245,288 Simcoe, $633,000 She’s A Great Lady, $1,000,000 Metro, $832,000 Canadian Pacing Derby and the $100,000 A Spring Of Hope Invitational. Listed below are my picks for tonight’s Mohawk card.

Analysis:

Race 1 Daily Double (1-2), Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (1-2-3)
$50,000 She’s A Great Lady Consolation
Picks- (4) Bound To Rock raced well in her elimination, pacing a final quarter in :26.4. Since the field of the consolation is poor, she has a great shot.

Race 2 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (2-3-4)
$38,000 Preferred Pace
Picks- (3) Dalihouse Dave has done well in Open company and has finished second in the Preferred ranks before. He may bring a price, since he is stepping up. (4) Aracache Hanover is the superior horse in this field. He has dominated the Open ranks several times and did well in the free for all stakes. This should be a walk in the park for him.

Race 3 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (3-4-5)
$100,000 A Spring Of Hope Mares Invitational
Picks- (3) Rock N Soul’s last start in the Golden Girls is unexplainable but has done well in every start before that. She may do better tonight. (6) Royal Cee Cee N has dominated in the Open’s at Chester and Pocono. Seeing her against these gals is very impressive. (7) Anndrovette tried to steal the Golden Girls but was caught by Dreamfair Eternal, finishing second. She did well in Canada and may show that talent tonight.

Race 4 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (4-5-6), $75,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 (4-5-6-7)
$30,000 Preferred 2 Pace
Picks- (1) Bestofbest Hanover is coming off a victory in the Confederation Cup (We gave him out). He shows that he may be capable going up against older horses. (3) Red Bugler was second in a Preferred 2 to Mach Dreamer, who is an alternate in the Canadian Pacing Derby. That shows that this is a classy horse and may be the best in the field.

Race 5 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (5-6-7)
$123,644 Simcoe
Picks- (1) Blue Porsche returns to his own age group and his home track. He is four for six at Mohawk, including wins in the Valley Victory and Goodtimes Trot. He may be a be a longshot, since his last three efforts were not impressive.

Race 6 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (6-7-8)
$100,000 Metro Consolation
Picks- (7) Machapelo came back to finish fifth in his Metro elim and is the 2011 Battle of Waterloo champion. The consolation may be right up his alley. (8) Shakerattlenrock tried to close instead of sitting mid-pack in his elimination. He went an average quarter of :27.4 and regained 13 lengths in the mile. The full brother to Pretty Katherine may show what he is capable of tonight.

Race 7 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (7-8-9)
$633,000 She’s A Great Lady Final
Picks- (1) Podges Lady should not be 30-1 morning line. She worked hard to get the front from post 8. The rail will help her get better positioning in the mile. (6) Economy Terror could not catch American Jewel, finishing second by a ½ length. She may redeem herself and nip “Jewel” at the wire.

Race 8 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (8-9-10)
$1,000,000 Metro Final
Picks- (4) D Terminata is an elimination winner. He has really started  to improve and may be the best in this field. (6) Allstar Legend finished second in his elimination. He has shown how good he is when he stays flat. He will be on the board if he does not break. (7) Hurrikane Kingcole went too fast and finished third in his elimination. If Ouellette can ration out his speed, he will draw away from this bunch.

Race 9 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (9-10-11)
$25,000 NW $18,500 Last 5 Starts. AE: Optional Claiming $60,000
Picks- (1) Thepaninsulahotel was shuffled back and closed to finish fourth. He may do better with the rail. (5) Lennon Blue Chip was shuffled into eighth and closed to finish second. He may be the best in the field. (7) World Away came first over and finished third. He should do better if he gets the trip.

Race 10 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (10-11-12)
$832,000 Canadian Pacing Derby Final
Picks- (1) Atochia got a perfect trip in his elimination. With all the speed in this race, he may get another perfect trip. (3) Art Professor got hung in his elimination and fought hard to the finish. He may not give way as bad as he did in the elim. (8) Razzle Dazzle is the longshot bet. He got in the cover flow and closed to finish third. He could take control of the speed and bomb.

Race 11 Exactor, Triactor, Superfecta, Pick 3 (11-12-13)
$121,644 Simcoe
Picks- (1) For You Almostfree has done well at the Mohawk oval. His pedigree is rich, by Glidemaster out of the mare Pizza Dolce. He did well in the Zweig and may bring a price tonight. (9) Charlie De Vie has got his mojo back. He may be the best in this field.

Good luck!
