After eating more than your share of turkey and pie, it’s time to kick back and hunker down with some red-hot power plays that will be sure to have you going back for seconds. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from your friends at Winning Ponies!

 

Churchill Downs

 

Race #1 – #6 – Black Iron = Drops min class and two back this son of Constitution broke his maiden at KyD. Look for strong speed today over the deep course.

Race #2 – Expensive Cut = 2nd time off the layoff and plenty of speed to light up board under Brian Hernandez. Catch him if you can.

Race #4 – #4 -Cruise Missile = Speedy filly coming off a 48 day break. She drops down two class levels and Ken Meek wins 33% on this move.

Race #6 – #4 – Proctor Street = Daughter of Street Sense who is 2 wins from 3 starts. Tyler Gaffalione for Brendan Walsh. Look for a strong late run from this well-bred gal.

Race #9 – #4 – Musical Mischief = Coming off a two month break and a win in the G2 Locust Grove. She’s a perfect stalker and should make a solid move turning for home for Edgar Morales.

Race #11 – #4 – Queen Regent = Makes her trip to the states and is regally bred for Brendan Walsh for the greensward. Frankie Dettori makes this an attractive wager.

 

 

Fair Grounds

 

Race #6 – #7 – Shoot the Nickel = He was rolling late last out going 6f and today stretches out to a mile. Marcelino Pedroza has the call and if the price stays 10-1, it could be a nice score at a price.

Race #9 – #1 – Giant Mischief = Draws the rail off a win 48 days ago at Keeneland. He should be very close to the leaders and get a perfect stalking trip holding the rail.
