Around the Track
A tough week for the Choices as a couple of our longshot selections had late leads only to get run down at the wire. The entry box is filling up though so the fields are getting a bit bigger and we may see turf racing this weekend which would be a welcome addition to the race offerings. An abbreviated holiday schedule this week with racing on Thursday, Friday and the staked stacked card on Monday the 26th. Here are the results for Chok’s Choices after the first few weeks of the meet:
1st Choice 143-33-21-22 = 23% - Win/53% In-the-Money- .85 Return on Investment for $1
2nd Choice 141-31-32-27= 22%- Win//64% In-the-Money – .75 Return on Investment for $1
Best Bet
Our Best Bet today will be in Race 7- #2 – My Little Dude – good run at Delta in last for a nice setup to improve here at a good price.
Good Luck and may they all come home safely.
