Yesterday’s Recap – We had the winner in yesterday’s Hoosier Hi-5 race at Hoosier Park. Sooo Handsome ($4.00) got the perfect trip from the pocket and in the stretch tipped out and drew off to win easily. The Hoosier Hi-5 of 2/5/8/10/4 returned $427.52.
Breakdown:
Race 10: #6 KAYMAR CHROME has won two straight races both from coming off the pace. She has a big late kick and is one of the stronger mares in the group tonight.
#8 VIRGIN SPEED showed speed from post seven last week, took back, and charged home late to win. She doesn’t like to win by a lot but has a lot of heart.
#4 HALF A VIRGIN had to make up a lot of ground last week from post six and while she was closing strongly last week she just came up short. One thing about her I learned last week is that she is extremely versatile.
#2 LITTLEMISDANGEROUS has a big ability to hit the board and has shown a lot of promise as a three-year-old. She transitioned well from her two-year-old season and I am looking forward to seeing what else she will be able to do.
We will hit the ALL button on the backside as the remainder of the field is wide-open.
