SPOT PLAYS
OAKLAWN
Race 2
#5 Chicory Blue
Pressed the
pace and continued onward for a clear second behind only a winning 3-2 favorite
and has been very good in both recent starts here on a fast track, despite the
fact that his lifetime record at this track is not good. Trending in the right
direction for the Broberg barn, in good form, and has speed figures that stack
up very well against this field.
Race 6
#5 Tashkent
Plus play exacta box w/ #7 Elitch
#5 Tashkent has been knocking on
the door recently with back-to-back in-the-money finishes and the speed figures
have been better than the other horses in today’s race, so a similar effort
again here today should land him in the winner’s circle.
Play in
exacta box with #7 Elitch, who has traded finishing ahead of and behind
Tashkent in the two most recent races, so seems the obvious exacta box horse in
this race with the top pick. Goes out for leading connections with trainer
Steve Asmussen and his main man jockey Ricardo Santana aboard.
