MOHAWK MILES
Tvtropes shared a story informing Horse race fans that every Thursday we are featuring horse races highlighting plausible remote chances at the Canadian harness meet. All horses that don't succeed at first break seem the next week in the H2W as wagered backs or in selected features, adding additional opportunities to this section.
- R4 — #3 Day At The Rec center (5-2): Fair qualifier, great prep to be better here.
- R7 — #8 Thankyaverymuch (5-1): Beaten number one, judges substitution from misbehavior.
- R8 — #2 Toughsonofabeach (4-1): Close, beaten in a late charging field at 2-1.
- R9 — #3 Whatineedisaman (8-1): Number one at Flamboro, second as far as possible around.
DELAWARE Agenda
Dover Downs
Race 4, a $20k disposal for a last of DSBF state-reproduced soph-pacers, is the element as sire stats for the year go into their last calculations for the season. This is a harder race than at first look, allowing us an opportunity for esteem on #2 Johnny Badlands (4-1). Ten times he hit the load up against these types and he owns the speed of his sire.
Friday, December 2
- Yonkers
- Race 9
A couple of contenders gets our consideration and inspires an exacta. From the H2W list comes #8 Peak Seelster (2-1). From post 8 he'll have the usual Yonkers things to convey however he won't be 9-2 as last week, when he was stuffed inside, moved and was passed by similarly labeled foes.
His slight drop in cost could assist with easing the burden and surely make a fine exacta regardless of whether he finishes second.
#3 Daamericansky (4-1) ships from Pocono. At 6-1 he sent off early just to balance subsequent to working to the half on the outside and hopelessly tire. Freehold's useful Andrew Adamczyk trains and has been doing great with stock at Pocono. Daamericansky's speed from post 3 here could add to success. Criss-crossed for an exacta, the combo is important.
Saturday, December 3
- Northfield Park
- Races 2, 3, 4, 5
The following are four races to work with together and separately. Together, they are essential for the early Pick 4. Exclusively they are win bets. All alone, they could be a monster parlay as well as any of the others. Here are our success contenders in each.
- Race 2 — #1 Molly Kool (4-1): Strong second at 5-1, gets the rail here.
- Race 3 — #2 Mae Be Sorcery (6-1): Drove at 9-1 at Dayton, got; additional turn helps speed factor.
- Race 4 — #3 Plzdontlietome N (5-2): Beaten #1 from overland course.

Getting My Attention: Maidens at the Fair Grounds, Nov. 24-27
Racing analyst Kevin Kilroy examines the maidens that impressed him at Fair Grounds during Thanksgiving weekend.
Thursday, Nov. 24
The three-year-old Hard Four succeeded at first asking, defeating a slow start and an extensive outing. This large ole son of Hard Spun procured a sound 81 Brisnet Speed figure. He's in extraordinary hands with mentor Sam David Jr. what's more, will have no issue stepping up however his conditions.
Tom Amoss took this Run Blissful yearling to Kentucky 맥스벳 Downs for his presentation, and he crushed far spirit and would never make up that ground to undermine. Still, he showed his ability and willingness to race, passing numerous in the field and getting through a major late run up the hill. Running Late is one of several two-year-olds in Amoss' consideration that are poised for a major winter (Hoosier Philly and Wavy Jack a couple of the others).

Every year, Lord Hernandez, Keith Hernandez, and John Duvieilh breed stakes-bound runners at their ranch north of New Orleans, and there is no question that Geaux Sugar has a stakes win in his sights. The A portion of Ours kid prepared by Sam David Jr. broke like a drill and immediately drove by four lengths, settling on the first decision in 21.58 seconds. (That is an entire second faster than the Kentucky-reared three-year-old males, who opened up at 22.57 sprinting 5 1/2 furlongs three races later.) Geaux Sugar won for no particular reason from that point onward, and procured a 85 Brisnet Speed figure while beating a decent field, including another who got my attention, Allnight Evening glow.
Allnight Twilight's introduction was compromised by his rail draw. What's more, when he bounced out of the entryway, there was little he could do to get a speedster like Geaux Sugar. Still he oversaw and made a game late run for second, procuring a 79 Brisnet Speed figure and gleaning some significant experience with passing horses and move traffic. Next out, you will need this Ron Faucheux-learner on your tickets.
On a day while all triumphant runs approached the lead, Sweet Vidalia figured out how to win the sprint finale coming six lengths off the front. Entered in a lady guaranteeing 10k, Sturges Ducoing's statebred knock an enemy and fell back right on time. Jose Riquelme calmly moved her forward prior to directing her wide for a late offered down the focal point of the track.
Procuring a 69 Brisnet Speed figure, Sweet Vidalia had the vibe of a sprinter confronting lesser. An Iron Fist three-year-old, she was asserted out of the race, so don't be surprised when her new coach Joey Foster enters her against harder next out.

Godolphin's homebred Trick Question impressed me, succeeding at first asking. Parting from the rail, this two-year-old prepared by Mike Stidham shot out of the entryway sharp and promptly set her brain to the lead. David Cohen did well by her, settling her efforts when at the front, and saved all that could possibly be needed to pull away as My Auntie Snookie menaced late.
Making her presentation, Vivaciously was outsprinted early, and James Graham didn't encourage all her up. She took a strong closing action and dashed out ready to go. Steve Asmussen was hoping to give her a race, and I'd envision this Into Mischief filly out of Land Promessa will be going long in her next. Her dam, who ran in the Kentucky Oaks (G1), made her second start a triumphant one, going from a sprint to course... READ MORE

Brad Cox's animal dwellingplace is loaded with some of the best two-year-olds, and despite the fact that Rally Board lost by 1 1/2 lengths on debut, don't abandon Spendthrift's $300,000 son of Into Mischief.
He drew the rail, always intense for first-timers, and seemed awkward there ahead of schedule. Marcelino Pedroza saw this and got him off however mistakenly brought him back there at the highest point of the stretch. He might have directed Rally Board to the outside of two others, yet instead he cut the corner and turned out to be stuck between the rail and enemy Amanwalksintoabar, incapable to make the triumphant bid. Speed played well on Sunday, and the 20-1 victor Assault rifle Man was loose on the lead. Mulligan.
