Free Thoroughbred Racing Selections from Bettin' Bobby.

TUESDAY'S FREE Philly Park SELECTIONS
We will try to find a winner today at Philly Park after having a rough last couple of days. The 5th race looks fits our angles and looks like a solid betting opportunity

Race 5:
(4) Brooksby (4-1) takes a big drop in class and has a perfect setup with two rivals bound to quicken the pace. (5) Omaha Beach (5-2) should not be ignored in any exotics - may have enough to win the race.

Play:
Take (4) Brooksby ATB. Exacta Box 4,5.

Betting Bobby says - good luck today

SATURDAY'S FREE Delaware Park SELECTIONS

Race 6:
(7) Local Celebrity (4-1) and (8) Smokin Warrior (2-1) look to finish ITM today. With a drop in class for both horses, these picks are a no-brainer for us

Play:
Take (7) Local Celebrity ATB. Exacta Box 7,8.

FRIDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 7:
(3) Kat's Golden Ways (3-1), out of the Barcaly tagg stable, looks like a solid play here, we are just hoping the odds hold up. With solid form throughout last season, this pick is a no-brainer for us in the first start this season. (5) WHATEVERWILLBWILLB has hit the board so often we must include underneath, but not sure if this horse can win the race. Nor should we ignore the 10-1 Slipstone (8) to try to make some cash.

Play:
Take (3) Kat's Golden Ways ATB. Exactas 3/5,8 (2X or 3X) & 5,8/3 (1X).

WEDNESDAY'S FREE Delaware Park SELECTIONS

Race 3:
(4) Gryfinndor's Sword (2-1) is just a great horse and has red hot jockey Ramon Dominguez up. This pick is a no-brainer for us. However, with a ML of 2-1, the odds will probably get crushed. We look to (3) Our Straight Flush and (2) Etrain to help make some cash in the exotics.

Play:
Take (4) Gryfinndor's Sword to WIN. Exactas 4/2,3 (2X or 3X) & 2,3/4 (1X).

TUESDAY'S FREE Philly Park SELECTIONS

Race 2:
(6) Whywhyme (4-1) drops in class and so does (3) Mystic Princess (9-2). These horses have faced off on this track before and with a short field and less than perfect conditions, we are looking for the favorite to get edged out here today. Still, the 5-2 favorite - (1) Wildcat Sol should not be ingorned in exotics.

Play: Take (6) Whywhyme ATB. Exactas 6/1,3 & 1,3/6.

SUNDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 2:
(7) Boowoogeemalia (8-5) drps in class and look like a clear winner here. (6) Classic Cathy has the odds we like at 6-1 and travelled from Finger Lakes to compete today.

Play:

Take (7) Boowoogeemalia to win. Make an exacta keyin on the 7 - 7/4,6. May be worth a play on the 6 if odds hold - horse probably hits the board no matter what.

FRIDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 7:
(2) Five Demon Bag (8-1) and (4) Jimmy Jump Jump (5-2) look like excellent selections. The 2 fit our angle with a drop in class and a cut back to a sprint today. Jimmy is our favorite out of the whole card to hit the board in some way.

Play:

Take (2) Five Demon Bag ATB. Make an exacta box out of the two horses above - 2,4.

THURSDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 7:
With a huge favorite winning this race, we look to exactas to make some cash. Beyond the Trees looks to be a claer winner here. But both (8) Caught Stealing (12-2) and (12) Money Manager (5-2) look to have the ability to easily hit the board.

Play:

Take (6) Most Charming to win and place. Make an exacta keying the 6 over 8 and 12 and hope for the longer play to hit.

WEDNESDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 7:
With huge favorties in this race we look for some value and find it in the 12 horse - Most Charming (6-1). This mare, though the oldest in the race, drops in class after running out of gas in Philly. Has a legitimate shot here at great odds.

Play:

Take (12) Most Charming ATB. Make an exacta box using 1,12 and hope for the longer play to hit.

SUNDAY'S FREE Philly Park SELECTIONS

Race 12:

(1) Agent Gordy (6-1) and (7) Jim's Irish Eyes are both well priced in the morning line, but with the sccratch, we'll have to see where the final odds land.

Play:

Take (1) Agent Gordy OR (7) Jim's Irish Eyes to Win and Place taking the longer odds horse. Play an exacta box 1,7.

SATURDAY'S FREE Preakness SELECTIONS
BIG Brown.....I think that is all I need to say.

Race 12:

(7) Big Brown (1-2) is the winner of the race. But, at this price, nobody is going to get rich betting this terrifc colt. Look to the undercard for a nice exacta probable. Some strong contenders underneath include (4) Yankee Bravo, (8) Kentucky Bear and (1) Macho Again.

Play:

Take (7) Big Brown in an exacta over 1,4,8 for two or three units depending on probables. Take 7 over longshots 11 and 13 for one unit. Take at least one of these exactas upside down for a buck just incase something happens to Big Brown. Look for (4) to hit the board - possible Show play.

FRIDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 6:

(6) The City (5-2) had a recent bullet workout and drops in class. (8) Justin P returns to the dirt after finsihing second and also sees a class drop here. Hopefully, The City will stick with a decent price.

Play:

Take (6) The City ATB. A nice exacta box with 6,8 round out the play.

THURSDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 5:

(5) Market Psychology (6-1) went wire to wire at this distance and has Coa aboard. Elements (20-1), El Chile Dog (12-1) and Make the Point (12-1) should ALL be considered if probables permit. Could be 'Bombs Away' in the 6th today!

Play:

Take (5) Market Psychology ATB. for those looking to mke a bigger sccore, take an Exacta 5/2,7,9

WEDNESDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 5:

(6) Precisely Greg (5-1) and (3) Hedge Fund (5-2) are both going for a shorter trip than last out today. Either of these horses can come out on top here. An Exacta may be the way to go, but I will take the longer priced horse to win here.

Play:

Take (6) Precisely Greg ATB. Take an Exacta Box 3,6

TUESDAY'S FREE Philly Park SELECTIONS

Race 2:

(5) Avonian (5-2) is the morning line favorite and we can only hope that he does not drop to 6/5. This colt is in the Dutrow barn and takes a huge drop in class here today. With some turf horses in the field this look to be the Best Bet so far this week!

Play:

Take (5) Avonian ATB. Hammer him at odds of morning line or better.

MONDAY'S FREE Philly Park SELECTIONS

Race 2:

(4) Captain Malone (3-1) and favorite (1) Zimarron (5-2) make this one a two-horse race. However, Captain Malone adds blinkers and drops in class from last race. Philly looks to be a bit messy and thus could open the door for a longshot play on (7) Given Talent at 8-1.

Play:

Take Captain Malone (4) ATB. Exacta Box 1,4 if probables permit. Take the 7 at odds of morning line or better.

SUNDAY'S FREE Philly Park SELECTIONS

Race 2:

(3) Crafty Cammack (7-2) is quite fast and likes this distance. The 5-2 favotire - Archie Boy - is quite vulnerable and the rest of the field is wide open.

Play:

Take Crafty Cammack (3) ATB.

SATURDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 7:

(5) Laura's Fury (10-1) was claimed as a turf horse, though solid on dirt. In this race the two shorter priced horses 4 & 7 both appear to be vulnerable and the rest of the field is wide open.

Play:

Take Laura's Fury (5) ATB. Play exactas with 4, 5 and 7 as probables permit.

FRIDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Hopefully Belmont Park will continue to treat us well. The 5th looks like a good betting race with several horses at a decent price with a chance to win.

Race 5:

(4) Honor Above Self (5-1) returns to a sprint AND drops in class. In this race both (2) Call Tiger and 4, show a drop in class and there appears to be a vulnerable favorite. However, Call Tiger is a shorter price and had touble last time out.

Play:

Take Honor Above Self (4) ATB. Box Exacta 2,4.

THURSDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 5:

(3) Scorsica (5-2) returns to a sprint in what looks like a good betting race. One of my favorite angles is looking for horses that drop in class. In this race both the 3 and 2, Golden Operator, work into this play. Also, (8) Pinky Swear is a valid longshot at 8-1

Play:

Take Scorsica (3) at better than 2-1 ATB . Box Exacta 2,3. Play Pinky Swear at odds of greater than 6-1 to WIN.

WEDNESDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 4:

(7) Footloose Man at 4-1 provides a solid horse with decent odds in what looks like a good betting race. Footloose has hit the board in his last two starts, coming in second both times. Looks poised to take the victory here on the turf as our #2 selection Caught Stealing has been scratched.

Play:

Take Footloose Man (7) at better than 5-2 ATB .

TUESDAY'S FREE Delaware Park SELECTIONS

Race 5:

This is basically a two horse race between (5) Royal Diana (9-5) and (4) Dancing Fern (3-1). With a solid trip, Fern can take this race and leave the favorite behind.

Play:

Take Dancing Fern (4) at better than 2-1 ATB . Play the exacta box on the two horses above - 4,5

MONDAY'S FREE Delaware Park SELECTIONS

Race 5:

(4) Kong the King at 5-2 looks like the closest thing to value today. Kong drops here and adds a hot jockey in Dominguez. (5) Slade is a very solid horse that certainly can win at this distance. In addition, Slade crushed the competition last out, but at 3-2 and sure to head down, we'll only use in exotics.

Play:

Take 4 W,P as show will be a low payout no matter what. Play Exactas 4/2,5 and 5/2,4 .

SUNDAY'S FREE Delaware Park SELECTIONS

Race 7:

Ramon Dominguez has hit the board over 70% of the time at Delaware Park so far this meet. He rides a solid contender at favorable odds in Gabby Jenna (8). However, (6) City Prospect also has a strong jocky in Pablo Morales but should get a solid bit of action reducing the ML of 3-1.

Play:

Take 8 W,P,S. Play Exacta Box 6,8

THURSDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 5:

(6) Sumphin at just 2-1 looks like a valid favorite especially with the scratch of Zito's entry - Pershing. Look for 7 and 9 to challenge our top selection.

Play:

Take 6 W,P as show will pay nothin. Play an Exacta 6/7,9.

WEDNESDAY'S FREE Belmont Park SELECTIONS

Race 6:

(3) Just Zip It at 4-1 in this race is value in a race where there sould be good betting action. The favorite, Precious Tool (2) is also at 3-1. Just Zip It can come from the back and Precious Too won last gate to wire. Look for a duel in the homestretch.

Play:

Take 3 ATB at greater than 3-1. Play an Exacta Box 2,3.

TUESDAY'S FREE Philly Park SELECTIONS

Race 5:

(6) Volcanic Action at 4-1 in this race is value that we can't ignore. The favorite, Doodlin (9-5) is vulnerable and our horse has beaten similar at this distance.

Play:

Take 6 ATB. Play an Exacta Box 5,6

MONDAY'S FREE Delaware Park SELECTIONS

Race 3:

Via Con Dios at 8-1 in this racce is a superior value. The 3 & 4 horses are both going to get bet very heavily and the 5, our horse has beaten similar and run well of late.

Play:

Take 5 ATB. Play an Exacta 5/3,4 and 3,4/5 as these are the only three horses that can win this race.

FRIDAY'S FREE Aqueduct SELECTIONS

Race 2:

Two very solid horses at a decent price in the second race. (5) Karakorum Topcat and (7) Final Resolution are 3-1 and 5-2 respectively. The seven horse drops in class and distance from the last outing - an angle I LOVE!!

Play:

Take 7 ATB. Play an Exacta Box 5,7 as both of thesee horses will contend at the wire.

THURSDAY'S FREE Aqueduct SELECTIONS

Race 5:

Let's take a shot with the six horse - Nikkinikkinikki. This horse will certainly hit the board in her local debut and features Rajiv Maragh aboard. At 5-1 in the morning line this horse is a great value. However, Across the Atlantic and Judge William should not be ignored.

Play:

Take 6 ATB as even show should pay nicely. Take a shot with an Exacta Box 4,5,6 as we like either Cross the Atlantic or William to hit the board as well.

WEDNESDAY'S FREE Aqueduct SELECTIONS

Race 6:

3 - Gold and Blue Box is a valid favorite but at 6-5!!! Lets take a look at the seven horse - Remorse. This horse drops to the better suited distance of 6F off of a loss and provides some value at 9-2.

Play:

Take 7 to Win only as they favorites will certainly make the place and show payouts squat if either 2 or 3 win. Take a shot with an Exacta 7/2,3 and 3/2,7

TUESDAY'S FREE Philly Park SELECTIONS

Race 7:

A legitimate favorite in Mistycal Light (8-5) but at a price that we are not willing to take. Both Crafty Bill (5-1) and Morethanclever (7-2) have a solid shot to win this race.

Play:

We'll back the longer shot here and take Crafty Bill (5) ATB. Exacta Box 1,4, 5 if the will pays are sufficient.
