TRI’s Picks April 14 Balmoral


Balmoral Park Pick 4, Races 10-13, Saturday, April 14, 2012


Last week, we had one winner, but you should not have bet it to win as it was under 4-1. But, the winner was My Dream Mara ($8.20). After missing Sunday’s Pick 4, we return with another great shot at hitting it big. Good luck!

$2 Play: 7,9/6/2,6/8 = $8

Analysis:

Race 10- (7) So Be It paced a great race last week. From post 10, he went a tough first over trip and finished fifth. Although he is stepping up, the versatility he showed in his last start should appear once more as he gets a better draw. (9) Fox Valley Yukon is making a big step down into this company. Although he did not do very well in this class, his last effort shows he could handle post 9. He was third to one of the best pacers in Illinois at this point, Well To Do Guru. He comes into this race tonight and may be overlooked.

Race 11- (6) Onhishonor Hanover returns to Balmoral after two productive efforts from post 8 at Maywood. Four starts back, he was in a valiant speed duel for the lead as he left from post 9. Into the stretch, he faded badly and finished sixth. He improved off that effort, but lost as the favorite. He comes back to the mile track and should be sharp.

Race 12-
(2) Alabama Howard raced very well in his last two starts. He was used early last time and quit. Before that, he went a strong first over mile and finished fourth. With post 2, he should get a good trip and win easily. (6) Stylemaster made a early move for command last week, only to lose 2 lengths and finish third. As long as he doesn’t get used up early, he’ll be in contention. 
 
Race 13- (8) Rejoiceandbeglad paced a tough race as he went by dull cover and closed hard. In a race where speed can flatten out easily, it is very possible that he will make an early enough move and we, the ones who bet him, will rejoice and be glad.
