Claimers 25K 3yo & up - 1 mile Dirt

Richie's Rocket owns superior pace numbers in this, could be the dominant speed in here. Looks very juicy at 12-1 ML

I'm sure that RICHIE'S ROCKET made the Lump List because of the figs. This guy should relish a one-turn mile as a grandson of GULCH and I like that Castro is driving today. Should be on the engine as far as he goes and if he catches some soft fractions it's Godnight Irene. I intend to cover.

REDWOOD FALLS, with Ramon up for Pletch, looks to be the overwhelming fave with the last-out fig and the connections but there's a couple of others to scope.

There's RICHIE who was mentioned above and ULTIMATE X. Tony Dutrow was firing 50% at Philly last I looked and ships this guy for the drop into a claimer. The works tell me this guy is sound and could be the "wise guy" horse here for value as Pletcher's nag gets polwed sideways to Sunday with Dominguez up.

Unfortunately, we get fed two races today with just 6 runners and this is one of them.

Live to $2 P3 payouts on both the 1 and 4 here. Nothing to get rich over, but enough to bankroll rest of the card. P4 lives on 1-4-5

My P3 lands with the four and five and the 3/4/5 carries another one on as I try to stop the bleeding.

Ain't gonna catch no number in this piddly pissant field.

I'm not looking through travel brochures today (so far) but if anybody wants to diddle a double into race 4 the Lump PARAIBA steps up a notch or two over boggy turf.

3-6/2-3-8 saver DD

I like the 2 fresh,older horses, boxing the 1/6

I learned long ago on the bus that you can't go groping unless you have an empty hand out.

Stan P3 Savezacta: 1/3-4-5

DD: 1-3/2-8

P3: 1-4-5/2-3/7
