We have a new month here as we enter October, but we stay at Finger Lakes for today’s featured race. We have eight horses going a mile here in this allowance race. Post time for today’s race is set for approximately 3:25 pm Eastern time.
Finger Lakes Race 6
We find the morning line favorite on the outside here. The 8 Brew Pub (2/1 ML) has faced tougher at Saratoga and Aqueduct but has occasionally raced here at the Finger. He is 0 for 3 this year but does have an excuse being at least five-wide all the way around last time out.
The 6 Joe’s Had Enough (8/1) had enough last time out last week as he was wide all the way around last time out like Brew Pub was when they raced two weeks ago. I would be concerned racing three weeks in a row but if he does run, I can see him bouncing back. However, I can see him running a similarly bad race as well.
The 2 Love That Bird (7/2 ML) went get to wire two weeks ago and Finger Lakes and looks like he could do it again today. He looks like lone speed here. There will be a few stalkers, but he will be setting the fractions up front today.
The 1 Kahala (5/2 ML) has faced tougher over the last year or so, racing the last two races at Saratoga, with previous stops in Kentucky and Louisiana. He draws the rail here and shouldn’t be too far off of the pace here today.
Joe’s pick
My biggest question is where will the 1 Kahala will be. Could he be on the lead since he draws the rail or does he stalk. But I do like the prospects of Love That Bird potentially with an unpressured lead. I’ll take him to win here today. I am calling this race 2-8-1-6 and my play is $20 on the 2. Best of luck everyone!
