If it isn’t stifling cold it’s curtains of fog and slippery surfaces that cancel race programs. Winter isn’t even a month old and racing is suffering from its behavior across North America. How bad was it? Consider that Northfield Park cancelled a program, which is extremely rare for the home of the Flying Turns, where the races usually ensue in weather that would keep a mailman from working. With the exception, this week, of the west and the south in the U.S., a lot of horses were given an unexpected hiatus.
Affected in the horses-to-watch list (H2W) were members of the list from Freehold and Flamboro. Jan. 13 updates on H2W horses and other racing are included.
Our ventures into overnight plays this past week increased but offered only one winner, Big Unit ($4.90, $3.20, $2.80) at Yonkers.
At the Meadows our first choice finished fifth at 7-1 and our second choice, Mattacardle, was second ($9.20, $3.40). In the Super Bowl Series at the Meadowlands, we had one second, CJ’s Jake ($3.60, $3) with our other three choices each finishing fourth. On Monday at Monticello, Hold Her Tight gave us a good race to three-quarters but finished out of the money at 19-1.
H2W RESULTS
The H2W results list across-the-board prices. Also, exactas are included when a H2W horse finishing first or second completes the result with a race favorite or another H2W horse listed as the winner in the same race (*asterisks note the particular races along with track name). This holds true, also, for trifectas if three H2W horses finish win, place and show.
