Horse Racing Picks
We’ve all seen the ads for picks on horse racing, but what makes these services so unique? First, they are more like a service than a product. While some horse racing picks are based on past performance, others are based on expert analysis and algorithms. In either case, they are for entertainment purposes only and are not intended to be a substitute for specialist advice. This article will discuss the pros and cons of each of these services.
Gun Runner Colt Debuts Going Long on Grass in This Maiden Affair for Juveniles
The Gun Runner colt is a son of the sensational second crop stallion, “Munnings.” He’s not a sprinter, but the long grass surface should suit him well, and his stable’s “go-to” rider Joel Rosario, has the best chance of making him pay in the win pool and rolling exotics.
This race will likely be his first-stakes start, and he has the talent to make a big impression. He was a $500,000 yearling, and his last start was a quarter mile in:24.2. His odds have come down from 14-1 to 23-1, and the Future Wager is also a factor. Wood finished even the fifth last time out and could be a definite contender.
The gun runner colt is a regally bred half-brother to Travers winner Will Take Charge. His last start was a one-mile maiden special weight at Churchill when he was 13-1, but his second start he showed a marked improvement. On Nov. 13, he finished third in the Sam F. Davis Stakes, while his next start came at 5-2.
Storm Boarder Is The 3/1 Underdog in This Race
The odds are good for the 3-year-old Chilean gelding, Storm Boarder, to make a big splash in the chairman’s cup. Storm Boarder was claimed by Kevin Patterson for owner Robert Cole Jr. in March 2021 for $15,000. Since then, the 6-year-old gelding has won seven straight races for his new connections, including a second in May at Mountaineer. Four of those victories have come at the same track, and Charle Oliveros saddles him.
Storm Boarder Attracts Stable’s “Go-To” Rider
A stable’s “go-to” ride-er is amid a romantic triangle. Veronica, a country girl from Ireland, is attracted to Jack O'Neil, the stable’s new stable hand. However, she’s less impressed by Jack than Veronica, the stable’s other new girl. Veronica fancies Jack, but she feels like he’s too crass to be of any use to her.
Gun Runner Colt Attracts Stable’s “Go-To” Rider
The three-year-old son of Gun Runner will make his debut in the Fountain of Youth (G2) at Saratoga on Saturday.
