Problem Ponies - Horses to Watch - 6/16/16

There's nothing like the watchful eye of a handicapper looking for problem trips. Just like you, I enjoy combing over video replays and sometimes watching two or three times the race in question. - Think of it as someone doing the legwork, and you can spend your time reading over your E-Z Win Forms seeking the nuggets of gold only WinningPonies can deliver.

Gulfstream Park

6/11/16 - Race #4 - #2 - One mile on the dirt

#2 - Cool Ruler = Here is a playback that exits off an impressive maiden break winning by 2 1/4. - He raced in hand in cruise control from the 1/4 pole to the wire. I usually like to wait a race after a mdn win, but he can come right back depending on where they spot him.

6/11/16 - Race #5 - #3 - One mile on the dirt

#3 - Holiday Gift = Checked sharply leaving the starting gate and was forced wide as he was trying to pick up lost ground. - He finished with some interest down the lane.

6/11/16 - Race #9 - #10 - 1 1/16 on the turf

#10 - Bonita = She was forced wide and had to wait for room down the backstretch. Once she broke free she showed good late speed.

Monmouth Park

6/11/16 - Race #4 - #3 - 6f on the dirt

#3 - Belle of Bowdoin = She was knocked around at the start and forced wide when she commenced a late bid. - She was wide into the lane and finished up with good interest.

6/11/16 - Race #9 - #2 - 6f on the dirt

#2 - Isi Antonia = This filly checked at the start, down the backstretch, and around the far turn at the 3/8th's pole. - She finished up strong running 2nd by three. - She is a very strong bet back. See what the E-Z Win's have to say when she runs back.

Belterra Park

6/11/16 - Race #3 - #2 - 5 1/2 f on the dirt

#2 - Madre Baeza = She shipped up from GP and was bumped around soundly and still won impressively. She is a play back and she'll be a price.

6/11/14 - Race #4 - #1 &#4 - 1 1/2 on the turf

#1 - Uncle Mitcho = Declan Cannon did an incredible job winning by 14 lengths drawing off at will. - This son of Freud loved the green and will be a tough customer right back.

#4 - Magnetic Start = He was looming boldly and looked to have dead-aim on the leader when the winner drew off like he was jet powered. - I give extra points to this effort as he finished up strong for the Doug Coyle barn.

6/11/16 - Race #6 - #6 - 5 1/2f on the dirt

#6 - Lacey the Spartan = She bobbled at the break and then was pinched back. Once she got loose her stride showed good promise for the next effort.
