CARRYING OVER
PICK YOUR SEVEN
A couple of big-time standouts in the Pick 7 series (races 2 through 8) will make or break tickets today.
DANCE WITH DOVES, one of 3 daughters of A.P. Indy in race 2 for maiden allowance gals, was odds-on to win her debut earlier this month but was edged. She should be 2 to 5 to get it done this time since Fintona, who was just behind her, came back to win her maiden next time out.
A wide open race 3 is next and then RED BIRKIN, trained by Roger Attfield, will be even-money to win the 4th race on the grass.
The filly was just 2nd in the Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland and the 4th and 8th place finishers from that race came back to win stakes races next time out.
So, now you have 2 keys and need only to play a pick 5. Easy yes?
Race 5 is a tough maiden allowance (B level) with so many beginners with good workout times and pedigrees.
Race 6 will have a heavy favourite in ARCHIEMAN and if he wins along with the other 2 favourites, well then everyone is in for a treat. His Beyer Figure of 70 is boss in the race.
Race 7 is the return of
The final leg of the Pick 7 is on the grass and trainer Malcolm Pierce brings back BARADORE to a new low level off the winter layoff and she will be heavily played.
SIDCUP GETS FIRST WIN OF ‘07
Canadian-bred SIDCUP won an allowance race at
The Running Stag-Nice Change,Gulch 5-year-old was bred by Adena Springs in
He is a Polytrack specialist who won the Prairie Bayou Stakes last December at
His Beyer Figure yesterday was 88.
The gelding now has 4 wins in 26 starts and $175,000. His 2nd dam is Woodbine stakes winner Count on a Change who was trained by Debbie England.
WILD WEEKEND
An American holiday on Monday (Memorial day) means tons of stakes action on the simulcast networks so pick your spots when you’re betting.
At Woodbine tomorrow, the Lady Angela Stakes is an intriguing field of Ontario-sired gals with lots of speed in the mix.
By the way - how did the LADY ANGELA Stakes get its name?

The current state of the polytrack is creating chaos and havoc for most handicappers. So much so, that those playing numbers are doing better than anybody. Will it ever be possible for polytrack to stay consistent for more than 1 day. Here's wishing the old dirt track was back.

Re: Lady Angela
Lady Angela was a broodmare owned by E.P. Taylor, who was the dam of Northern Dancer's sire, Nearctic. She had multiple winning offspring and stakes winners.

Polytrack is a joke!
As if horse racing wasn't having enough problems....this could be the final nail in the coffin.
maybe if woodbine wasn't so worried about "being the only track to install the Poltrack surface during a race meet" it might have been done right.
at the time this made a nice little sound byte for Mr. Wilmot.....but it looks more an more like an absolute failure.
turn Woodbine into a giant poker room.....horse racing is on the way out. If I was the "braintrust" (a term i use lightly here) I would be saving my pennies and hink about re-installing a dirt track. Heck I would even take the "inner track" at this point.
Polytrack is the biggest scam/joke ever played on this game...unfortunetly, driving away the few people left who actually enjoy the sport, isn't really all that funny.

Somebody made a lot of money on this deal. And it wasn't the horsemen or the fans. Maybe it's time for the O.R.C. to take a really close look at the Board of Directors at W.E.G.
